Drop it.

var body: some View {
    SpotlightSearch(
        viewModel: spotlightViewModel,
        isSearching:$isSearching,
        didSearchKeyword: search,
        didTapItem: { print("didTapItem : \($0)") }) {
            /// 😎 your main UI goes here.
            Text("Your all main views goes here")
        }
}

If you would like use NavigationView,

var body: some View {
    NavigationView {
        SpotlightSearch(
            viewModel: spotlightViewModel,
            isSearching:$isSearching,
            didSearchKeyword: search,
            didTapItem: { print("didTapItem : \($0)") }) {
                /// 😎 your main UI goes here.
                Text("Your all main views goes here")
        }
    }
}

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first. It includes examples for UIKit as well as SwiftUI.

Requirements

• iOS 14.1 or later
• Swift 5.0 or later
• Xcode 11.0 or later

Getting Started

• SwiftUI Simplified version. just copy and paste below code. It will work.

1. clone repository
2. Switch and select 'QuickExample' target.
3. Build and run.

In 'QuickExample' directory, there are sample codes.

The output is as follows:

Features

• Written in SwiftUI and Combine 100%
• Provides Search UI on iOS in a similar way that macOS Spotlight does.
• One liner, no brainer API

Installation

There are two ways officially to use SpotlightSearch in your project:

• using CocoaPods
• using Swift Package Manager

Installation with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. See the Get Started section for more details.

Podfile

First,

pod 'SpotlightSearch'

then in your root project,

pod install

Installation with Swift Package Manager (Xcode 11+)

Swift Package Manager (SwiftPM) is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code as well as C-family dependency. From Xcode 11, SwiftPM got natively integrated with Xcode.

SpotlightSearch support SwiftPM from version 5.1.0. To use SwiftPM, you should use Xcode 11 to open your project. Click File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency, enter SpotlightSearch repo's URL. Or you can login Xcode with your GitHub account and just type SpotlightSearch to search.

After select the package, you can choose the dependency type (tagged version, branch or commit). Then Xcode will setup all the stuff for you.

If you're a framework author and use SpotlightSearch as a dependency, update your Package.swift file:

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/boraseoksoon/SpotlightSearch", from: "0.1.1")
    ],
    // ...
)
