[Feature Request] Search

[stefan-niedermann]

Nextcloud provides a nice integration for a search functionality. I'd like to be able to use the search in this app, too.

@stefan-niedermann this is an interesting feature, is there any documentation you know about that ?

[stefan-niedermann]

Hm, havent't found a developer documentation after a quick search... Mayve @ChristophWurst can give you a hint because i think he was the one who implemented search in the Mail app?

[ChristophWurst]

Hi,

you can use something like this:

function mySearch() {
    ...
}

OC.Plugins.register('OCA.Search', {
    attach: function(search) {
        search.setFilter('sms', mySearch);
    }
});

(ref https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/blob/master/js/searchproxy.js)

I'm studying that

@ChristophWurst thanks for the tip, i'm searching why the function is not called, see there:

https://github.com/nerzhul/ocsms/blob/6527fe2d901ab915a69f458776a8af658ad5a4d4/js/public/app.js#L291

I also see a call to the core side using /search endpoint, how to map it into PHP part ? there is no clear documentation about that or google is not indexing it well

When is the code in https://github.com/nerzhul/ocsms/blob/6527fe2d901ab915a69f458776a8af658ad5a4d4/js/public/app.js#L295-L299 actually run? In Mail we noticed that the search filter has be be registered almost immediately after page load. Since we load our js via requirejs asynchronously, we've added a proxy to be able to set the proxied filter later.

Where? I'm pretty sure there's some javascript changing the URL dynamically.

The code is run directly as JS load if i remember because it's in the angular controller . If it should be done after page load i need to change a little bit the call
