ModernSearchBar
  • October 22, 2023

PRESENTATION


This search bar will allow you to offer suggestions words to your users when they are looking for something using default iOS search bar. Enjoy it !

DEMO


Two ways to use this lib :

  • One with a simple array of string (Array<String>)
  • The other with an array of custom object (Array<ModernSearchBarModel>) if you want to get image of each row from an url.
SIMPLE ADVANCED

INSTALLATION


CocoaPods

You can use CocoaPods to install ModernSearchBar by adding it to your Podfile:

 

pod ‘ModernSearchBar’

Manually
  1. Download and drop all *.swift files contained in Pod folder in your project.
  2. Don’t forget to import the assets folder too.
  3. Enjoy !

USAGE


1 – Configure StoryBoard (Custom Class)

2 – Configure ViewController

//Import lib on the top of ViewController
import ModernSearchBar

//Create an IBOutlet from your searchBar
@IBOutlet weak var modernSearchBar: ModernSearchBar!

//Extend your ViewController with ‘ModernSearchBarDelegate’
class ViewController: UIViewController, ModernSearchBarDelegate

//Implement the delegation
self.modernSearchBar.delegateModernSearchBar = self

//Set datas to fill the suggestionsView of the searchbar.
//Two ways (you have to choose only one, you can’t implement both obviously)

// 1 – With an Array<String>
var suggestionList = Array<String>()
suggestionList.append(“Onions”)
suggestionList.append(“Celery”)

self.modernSearchBar.setDatas(datas: suggestionList)

// 2 – With custom Array<ModernSearchBarModel>
var suggestionListWithUrl = Array<ModernSearchBarModel>()
suggestionListWithUrl.append(ModernSearchBarModel(title: “Alpha”, url: “https://github.com/PhilippeBoisney/ModernSearchBar/raw/master/Examples%20Url/exampleA.png”))
suggestionListWithUrl.append(ModernSearchBarModel(title: “Bravo”, url: “https://github.com/PhilippeBoisney/ModernSearchBar/raw/master/Examples%20Url/exampleB.png”))

self.modernSearchBar.setDatasWithUrl(datas: suggestionListWithUrl)

DELEGATE


ModernSearchBarDelegate inherit from UISearchBarDelegate, so you can find commons methods you already use in your project. Also, I add those methods to handle click actions on suggestionsView.

///Called if you use String suggestion list
func onClickItemSuggestionsView(item: String) {
print(“User touched this item: “+item)
}

///Called if you use Custom Item suggestion list
func onClickItemWithUrlSuggestionsView(item: ModernSearchBarModel) {
print(“User touched this item: “+item.title+” with this url: “+item.url.description)
}

///Called when user touched shadowView
func onClickShadowView(shadowView: UIView) {
print(“User touched shadowView”)
}

CUSTOMIZING


 

//Modify shadows alpha
self.modernSearchBar.shadowView_alpha = 0.8

//Modify the default icon of suggestionsView’s rows
self.modernSearchBar.searchImage = ModernSearchBarIcon.Icon.none.image

//Modify properties of the searchLabel
self.modernSearchBar.searchLabel_font = UIFont(name: “Avenir-Light”, size: 30)
self.modernSearchBar.searchLabel_textColor = UIColor.red
self.modernSearchBar.searchLabel_backgroundColor = UIColor.black

//Modify properties of the searchIcon
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_searchIcon_height = 40
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_searchIcon_width = 40
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_searchIcon_isRound = false

//Modify properties of suggestionsView
///Modify the max height of the suggestionsView
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_maxHeight = 1000
///Modify properties of the suggestionsView
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_backgroundColor = UIColor.brown
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_contentViewColor = UIColor.yellow
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_separatorStyle = .singleLine
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.gray
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_verticalSpaceWithSearchBar = 10
self.modernSearchBar.suggestionsView_spaceWithKeyboard = 20
