About QuickSearch

QuickSearch is a SwiftUI SDK that lets you type into a .searchable text field without first having to focus on it, which is how many native utilty apps behave.

This is convenient, since .searchable text fields lack focus control and doesn't allow you to focus programmatically.

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 a .quickSearch view modifier after .searchable:

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

If you can add .quickSearch directly next to .searchable, you can use .searchable(text:quickSearch:...) instead. It is not as flexible as .searchable, but works well to apply basic .searchable capabilities.
