iOS SwiftUI Searchbar and REST-API

Question

I\'m experimenting with SwiftUI and would like to fetch an update from my REST API with a search string.

However, I\'m not sure how to bring the two components together

There is no need to get UIKit involved, you can declare a simple search bar like this:

struct SearchBar: View {

    @State var searchString: String = ""

    var body: some View {

        HStack {
            TextField("Start typing",
                      text: $searchString,
                      onCommit: { self.performSearch() })
                .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
            Button(action: { self.performSearch() }) {
                Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass")
            }
        }   .padding()
    }

    func performSearch() {

    }
}

and then place the search logic inside performSearch().
