To keep a search bar always visible in SwiftUI, you can use the searchable modifier. This modifier allows you to add a search bar to your view, and it will remain visible as part of the view's layout. Here's a basic example of how to implement it:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var searchTerm: String = ""
var body: some View {
List {
// Your list content here
}
.searchable(text: $searchTerm)
}
}
In the context of the WWDC session "Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI," the searchable modifier is used to add a search bar to a view, and it binds to a state property that holds the search term. This allows the search bar to filter content dynamically based on user input.
For more details, you can refer to the Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI session at the 11:54 mark.
