Filtering array of dictionaries in Swift

Question

I have An Array With Dictionaries example :

(
        {
        Email = \"kate-bell@mac.com\";
        Name = \"Kate Bell\";
        Number = \"(555) 564-858         


        

Answer 1

I suggest using Swift's filter instead:

func searchBar(searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
    let filteredArray = arrContact.filter { $0["Name"] == searchText }
    print(filteredArray)
    if filteredArray.isEmpty {
        searchActive = false
    } else {
        searchActive = true
    }
    tblData.reloadData()
}

And as mentioned by @LeoDabus in his comment, you can even simplify further:

func searchBar(searchBar: UISearchBar, textDidChange searchText: String) {
    let filteredArray = arrContact.filter { $0["Name"] == searchText }
    print(filteredArray)
    searchActive = !filteredArray.isEmpty
    tblData.reloadData()
}
