SearchMovies

Sample app to show search request using async-await and swift-async-algorithms

Motivation

To improve the performance of the search request, I used the throttle function of swift-async-algorithm which ensures that the minimum interval has elapsed between text update so that the app doesn't make a request for every text update. For more info see fetchAutoCompleTask in SearchViewModel.swift

Quick setup

Change the string "API_KEY" in SearchViewModel.swift to your API key of TheMovieDB.

...
private func makeURL(from text: String) -> URL? {
        var urlComponents = URLComponents()
        urlComponents.scheme = "https"
        urlComponents.host = "api.themoviedb.org"
        urlComponents.path = "/3/search/movie"
        urlComponents.queryItems = [
            .init(name: "api_key", value: "API_KEY"),
            .init(name: "query", value: text)
        ]
        
        return urlComponents.url
    }
...

For best results, run the macOS Catalyst or iOS target.
