Filter Toggle
FilterToggleConnector<Filter: FilterType>( filterState: FilterState, filter: Filter, isSelected: Bool, refinementOperator: RefinementOperator, groupName: String?, controller: FilterSwitchController<FilterType> )
About this widget
Filter Toggle is a filtering component that displays any kind of filter, and lets the user refine the search results by toggling it on or off.
Examples
Instantiate a FilterToggleConnector and launch an initial search on its Searcher.

onSaleFilterInteractor.connectFilterState(filterState)
onSaleFilterInteractor.connectController(filterToggleSwitchController)
searcher.search()
Customizing your view
The default controllers, e.g., FilterSwitchController, work well when you want to use native UIKit with their default behavior.
If you want to use another component such as a UIButton, a third-party input view, or you want to introduce some custom behavior to the already provided UIKit component, you can create your own controller conforming to the SelectableController protocol.
Protocol
var onClick: ((Bool) -> Void)?:
Closure to call when a filter is toggled.
func setSelected(_ isSelected: Bool)
Function called when a selection state of filter is updated. This is the UI State of the toggle. Make sure to update your view here when you get the new selection state.

public class FilterSwitchController<F: FilterType>: SelectableController {
public typealias Item = F
public let `switch`: UISwitch
public var onClick: ((Bool) -> Void)?
public init(`switch`: UISwitch) {
self.switch = `switch`
`switch`.addTarget(self, action: #selector(didToggleSwitch), for: .valueChanged)
}
@objc func didToggleSwitch(_ switch: UISwitch) {
onClick?(`switch`.isOn)
}
public func setSelected(_ isSelected: Bool) {
self.switch.isOn = isSelected
}
public func setItem(_ item: F) {
}
}
SwiftUI
InstantSearch provides the FilterToggleObservableController data model, which is an implementation of the SelectableController protocol adapted for usage with SwiftUI.
FilterToggleObservableController must be connected to the FilterToggleConnector or SelectableInteractor<Filter> like any other SelectableController implementation.

struct ContentView: View {
@ObservedObject var toggleController: FilterToggleObservableController<Filter.Tag>
var body: some View {
Toggle(toggleController.filter?.description ?? "No filter",
isOn: $toggleController.isSelected).padding()
}
}
If you prefer to create a custom filter toggle SwiftUI view, you can directly use the FilterToggleObservableController as a data model.
It provides filter and isSelected properties to streamline the design process of your custom SwiftUI view.
