Question

I am using UISearchController to search for data in my tableview. I am not using table view controller. I would like to hide the navigation bar when my search b

I have the same trouble. And research didn't answer. My decision:

1) I used UITableviewController with SearchController and when I taped on the field I had this UI trouble: Extra blank space between searchBar and tableview The guys noted that you need to use the searchController with UIViewcontroller and tableView separately. So I did

2) There was this problem. It is solved as follows:

 let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
var tableView:UITableView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    loadData()
    setupTableView()
    setupSearchController()
}

private func setupTableView(){

    tableView = UITableView(frame: CGRect.zero, style: .plain)

    **//next 2 very important line of code**

    tableView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing()
    tableView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    view.addSubview(tableView)

    tableView.dataSource = self
    tableView.delegate = self
    tableView.register(LetterBrandCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "brandCell")
    tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
    addConstraints()
}

In the method of adding constraints, it is important to be attached to top & bottomLayoutGuides, not just to view:

private func addConstraints(){

    NSLayoutConstraint(item: tableView,
                       attribute: .top,
                       relatedBy: .equal,
                       toItem: topLayoutGuide,
                       attribute: .bottom,
                       multiplier: 1,
                       constant: 0).isActive = true

    NSLayoutConstraint(item: tableView,
                       attribute: .bottom,
                       relatedBy: .equal,
                       toItem: bottomLayoutGuide,
                       attribute: .top,
                       multiplier: 1,
                       constant: 0).isActive = true
    NSLayoutConstraint(item: view,
                       attribute: .leading,
                       relatedBy: .equal,
                       toItem: tableView,
                       attribute: .leading,
                       multiplier: 1,
                       constant: 0).isActive = true
    NSLayoutConstraint(item: view,
                       attribute: .trailing,
                       relatedBy: .equal,
                       toItem: tableView,
                       attribute: .trailing,
                       multiplier: 1,
                       constant: 0).isActive = true
