QuickSearch: A Shell repository from danielsaidi

About QuickSearch

QuickSearch is a SwiftUI SDK that lets you type into a .searchable text field by just typing, without first having to focus on it.

Unlike the native .searchable(text: $query, isPresented: .constant(true)) modifier, QuickSearch doesn't show the input cursor, to avoid draving attention to the search field.

Installation

QuickSearch can be installed with the Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/danielsaidi/QuickSearch.git

Getting Started

All you have to do to make QuickSearch work, is to apply quickSearch: true to .searchable:

 struct ContentView: View {
 
     @State
     var query = ""
     
     @State
     var text = ""
 
     @FocusState
     var isTextFieldFocused
    
     var body: some View {
         NavigationStack {
             VStack {
                TextField("Type here...", text: $text)
             }
             .searchable(text: $query, quickSearch: true)
         }
     }
}

You can also apply the .quickSearch view modifier, to any superview, if you can't access .searchable, use custom focus bindings, etc.
