How to correctly show search results?

Question

I have a contact list tableView with the [Avatar Image - Name]. And I want to search among this users. For this I created a struct [User.swift]:

struct User {
    let name : String
    let image: UIImage
}

And I search via:

func filterContentForSearchText(searchText: String, scope: String = "All") {
    self.filteredUsers = self.users.filter({( user : User) -> Bool in
        let stringMatch = user.name.rangeOfString(searchText)
        return (stringMatch != nil)
    })
}

but it searches just by String part(among names) as expected. Now, how can I connect to it contact avatar images?

I save all in an array var users = [User]() as:

self.users.append(User(name: user.displayName, image: UIImage(data: photoData!)!))

So, how can I show images too near the contact name?

Answer 1

You should be able to get your user

let userForRow:User = self.filteredUsers[indexPath.row]

then access the image

userForRow.image

you can use a standard cell to display the image

cell.imageView.image = userForRow.image

in the datasource's cellForRowAtIndexPath

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let user = filteredUsers[indexPath.row]
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath indexPath)

    cell.textLabel.text = user.name
    cell.imageView.image = user.image

    return cell
}
