searchBar created from StoryBoard doesn't connect with UISearchController - uitableview

Question

I created a searchBar programmatically which is connected to a UITableViewController
let locationSearchTable = storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier:
"LocationSearchTable") as! LocationSearchTable
resultSearchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController:
locationSearchTable)
resultSearchController.searchResultsUpdater = locationSearchTable
let searchBar = resultSearchController.searchBar
searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchBar.placeholder = "Search for places"
navigationItem.titleView = resultSearchController.searchBar
resultSearchController.searchBar.delegate = self
resultSearchController.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
resultSearchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
definesPresentationContext = true
locationSearchTable.mapView = mapView
locationSearchTable.handleMapSearchDelegate = self
It works perfectly. But when i try to assign searchBar to my SearchBars created from storyBoard they don't work. I did delegate connection from storyboard as well.
class MapViewController: UIViewController, UISearchBarDelegate,
UITableViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var myFrom: UISearchBar!
#IBOutlet weak var myTo: UISearchBar!
....
override func viewDidLoad() {
...
myFrom = resultSearchController.searchBar
myTo = resultSearchController.searchBar
myFrom.delegate = self
myTo.delegate = self
I also need tableview results to have same width as searchBar in the pop-up view. Not entire screen width as programmatically created.
I use the subLocality data in the searchBars. For now, I just pull data from MKPlacemarks into searchBars.
I couldn't activate the searchBars.
TableView code:
import Foundation
import UIKit
import MapKit
class LocationSearchTable : UITableViewController {
var handleMapSearchDelegate: HandleMapSearch? = nil
var mapView: MKMapView? = nil
var searchResults = [MKLocalSearchCompletion]()
private var boundingRegion: MKCoordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegion(MKMapRect.world)
lazy var searchCompleter: MKLocalSearchCompleter = {
let sC = MKLocalSearchCompleter()
sC.delegate = self
sC.resultTypes = .pointOfInterest
sC.region = boundingRegion
return sC
}()
private var places: [MKMapItem]? {
didSet {
tableView.reloadData()
}
}
private var localSearch: MKLocalSearch? {
willSet {
// Clear the results and cancel the currently running local search before starting a new search.
places = nil
localSearch?.cancel()
}
}
/// - Parameter suggestedCompletion: A search completion provided by `MKLocalSearchCompleter` when tapping on a search completion table row
private func search(for suggestedCompletion: MKLocalSearchCompletion) {
let searchRequest = MKLocalSearch.Request(completion: suggestedCompletion)
search(using: searchRequest)
}
/// - Tag: SearchRequest
private func search(using searchRequest: MKLocalSearch.Request) {
// Confine the map search area to an area around the user's current location.
searchRequest.region = boundingRegion
localSearch = MKLocalSearch(request: searchRequest)
localSearch?.start { [unowned self] (response, error) in
guard error == nil else {
self.displaySearchError(error)
return
}
self.places = response?.mapItems
// Used when setting the map's region in `prepareForSegue`.
if let updatedRegion = response?.boundingRegion {
self.boundingRegion = updatedRegion
}
}
}
private func displaySearchError(_ error: Error?) {
if let error = error as NSError?, let errorString = error.userInfo[NSLocalizedDescriptionKey] as? String {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Could not find any places.", message: errorString, preferredStyle: .alert)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable: UISearchResultsUpdating {
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController)
{
searchCompleter.queryFragment = searchController.searchBar.text ?? ""
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable: MKLocalSearchCompleterDelegate {
func completerDidUpdateResults(_ completer: MKLocalSearchCompleter) {
searchResults = completer.results
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
func completer(_ completer: MKLocalSearchCompleter, didFailWithError error: Error) {
// handle error
print("error loading MKLocalSearchCompleter")
}
}
//- Tableview DataSource methods
extension LocationSearchTable {
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return searchResults.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let searchResult = searchResults[indexPath.row]
let cell = UITableViewCell(style: .subtitle, reuseIdentifier: nil)
cell.textLabel?.text = searchResult.title
cell.detailTextLabel?.text = searchResult.subtitle
return cell
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let selectedItem = searchResults[indexPath.row]
let request = MKLocalSearch.Request()
request.naturalLanguageQuery = selectedItem.title
let search = MKLocalSearch(request: request)
search.start { (response, error) in
guard let response = response else {return}
guard let item = response.mapItems.first else {return}
self.handleMapSearchDelegate?.dropPinZoomIn(placemark: item.placemark)
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
