searchBar autoFocus

[cabiad]

A normal react native TextInput has an autoFocus property. Is there a way to have the search field automatically focused when the screen is focused with the current searchBar implementation?

I feel like I may be missing something obvious, but I didn't see it a way to do it in the docs or in the exposed APIs here. (I see an onFocus() event, but no way to automatically or programmatically focus the search field.)

Hi @cabiad, sorry for the late response 🙏
It is! There's an autoFocus field which controls if the search bar should be autofocused on screen mount.

Cheers!
