1. SearchableFlatList

API

Props Description Data Type isRequired
data Data for the FlatList Array
searchTerm Searching Term being input by the user. Typically this will be a state variable bound to a text input String
searchAttribute Attribute to be searched in case of array of objects. This will be empty in case of a simple array data String
ignoreCase Case sensitive / Case insensitive search. By default this will be set to true Boolean

By default the SearchableFlatList also inherits all the props of a React Native FlatList. You could use virtually any props you would with a FlatList.

Usage

import { SearchableFlatList } from "react-native-searchable-list";
 
 <SearchableFlatList
          data={this.state.flatListData}
          searchTerm={this.state.searchTerm}
          searchAttribute={this.state.searchAttribute}
          ignoreCase={true}
          renderItem={({ item }) => <Text>{item.name}</Text>}
          keyExtractor={item => item.id}
        />
