I am trying to implement a searchbar for a tableView and I am receiving the error "...Binary operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Place' and 'String'" in my textDidChange method. The tableView is populated from a Firebase database "placeList" array. Not sure where the error source is coming from. Thanks in advance for any help!
lazy var searchBar:UISearchBar = UISearchBar()
var placeList = [Place]()
var placesDictionary = [String: Place]()
var isSearching = false
var filteredData = [Place]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyle.prominent
searchBar.placeholder = " Search Places..."
searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchBar.isTranslucent = false
searchBar.backgroundImage = UIImage()
searchBar.delegate = self
searchBar.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyType.done
navigationItem.titleView = searchBar
tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = true
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = UITableViewCell(style: .subtitle, reuseIdentifier: cellId)
if isSearching {
cell.textLabel?.text = filteredData[indexPath.row].place
} else {
cell.textLabel?.text = placeList[indexPath.row].place
}
return cell
}
func searchBar(_ searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
if searchBar.text == nil || searchBar.text == "" {
isSearching = false
view.endEditing(true)
tableView.reloadData()
} else {
isSearching = true
// error in below line of code...
filteredData = placeList.filter({$0.place == searchBar.text})
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
