A UISearchBar subclass that observes the search field on a given frequency.
This is meant to be used to query a remote server after the text on search field is changed without firing the search for each character typed.
The search field fires the delegate method after the user stops writing for an specified time interval.
Usage
Install with cocoapods
pod 'ILRemoteSearchBar'
Make your view controller conforms to ILRemoteSearchBarDelegate
protocol
@interface ILViewController () <ILRemoteSearchBarDelegate>
Set the search bars delegate to your view controller
(programatically with the viewDidLoad or via interface builder)
ILRemoteSearchBar *searchBar = [[ILRemoteSearchBar alloc] ...];
searchBar.delegate = self;
Add the remoteSearchBar:textDidChange: method to your view controller and call your API from there
# pragma mark - ILRemoteSearchBarDelegate
- (void)remoteSearchBar:(ILRemoteSearchBar *)searchBar
textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
// call your api
}
You can even conform to UISearchBarDelegate
and receive the delegate
methods for your ILRemoteSearchBar
Warning
If your view controller is conforming to the UISearchBarDelegate the
searchBar:TextDidChange:
will be called when your ILRemoteSearchBar
text is changed as ILRemoteSearchBar
is a subclass of UISearchBar
so make sure to check that the sender object is not your ILRemoteSearchBar
-(void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar
textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText
{
if (searchBar != self.myRemoteSearchBar) {
// do your thing
}
}
Configuration
You can change the time interval to wait before the delegate method is called with
searchBar.timeToWait = 0.5; // 0.5 is the default value
