  /// or invoked when submiting the text field if ```searchType == SEARCH_TYPE.onSubmit```.
  ///
  /// You should return a list of filtered elements.

  /// Builder function that generates the ListView items
  /// based on the given element.
  final Widget Function(T) builder;

  /// The widget to be displayed when the filter returns an empty list.
  ///
  /// Defaults to `const SizedBox.shrink()`.
  final Widget emptyWidget;

  /// Text editing controller applied on the search field.

Migration:

• If you are using the 1.5.3 version or older and you are using sliverScrollEffect parameter, for 1.6.0 version and above this parameter is replaced with a constructor SearchableList.sliver

Implementation

Default constructor

SearchableList<Object> 

Used to create simple listview with search field (with other attributes to customize your own listview)

Seperator constructor

SearchableList.seperated

Used to create listview with divider seperation (with other attributes to customize your own listview)

Sliver effect constructor

SearchableList.sliver

Used to create a listview with sliver scrolling effect (with other attributes to customize your own listview)

Simple implementation

SearchableList<Actor>(
  initialList: actors,
  builder: (Actor user) => UserItem(user: user),
  filter: (value) => actors.where((element) => element.name.toLowerCase().contains(value),).toList(),
  emptyWidget:  const EmptyView(),
  inputDecoration: InputDecoration(
    labelText: "Search Actor",
	fillColor: Colors.white,
	focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
	  borderSide: const BorderSide(
	    color: Colors.blue,
		width: 1.0,
	  ),
	  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10.0),
	),
  ),
),

Sliver scroll example

SearchableList<Actor>.sliver(
  initialList: actors,
  builder: (Actor user) => UserItem(user: user),
  filter: (value) => actors.where((element) => element.name.toLowerCase().contains(value),).toList(),
  emptyWidget:  const EmptyView(),
  inputDecoration: InputDecoration(
    labelText: "Search Actor",
	fillColor: Colors.white,
	focusedBorder: OutlineInputBorder(
	  borderSide: const BorderSide(
	    color: Colors.blue,
		width: 1.0,
	  ),
	  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10.0),
	),
  ),
),
