🔍 SearchBar SwiftUI

A live-filtering search bar in SwiftUI, powered by a UIKit UISearchBar bridge

📖 Overview

SearchBar SwiftUI is a small example project that demonstrates how to embed a UIKit UISearchBar inside a SwiftUI view and use it to filter a list in real time. It wraps UISearchBar with UIViewRepresentable and a Coordinator, bridging the search text back into SwiftUI through a @Binding. As the user types, an ObservableObject view model filters the data set case-insensitively and updates the displayed List.

✨ Features

• 🔎 Live, case-insensitive filtering of a string array as you type
• 🌉 UIKit UISearchBar bridged into SwiftUI via UIViewRepresentable
• 🧩 Coordinator implementing UISearchBarDelegate to relay text changes
• 🔗 Two-way data flow using a @Binding and an @Published search text
• 📋 MVVM-style ViewModel (ObservableObject) driving a SwiftUI List
