headerSearchBarOptions, set the search input value

[hamdij0maa]

headerSearchBarOptions, set the search input value,
there is no function exposed to set the value of the search bar from outside the onTextChangeValue,
example => sending the value from the search screen 1 to the second screen 2, is impossible now.
any solution please

Hi @hamdij0maa, could you elaborate a little bit more of what would be the expected functionality (what API you would like to see)? You receive current searchbar text & you can receive event when search button is clicked -> you can save the search bar content to state.

Would love to get some feedback: #1739 whether the setText method is enough or we need some additional mechanisms

You can install react-native-screens via:

"react-native-screens": "software-mansion/react-native-screens#@kkafar/search-bar-set-text"

& play around.

You can find example API usage here

As I said here -- the timeline is blurry and dynamic -- I don't want to set any specific expectations.
