Recent Searches

We expose recent searches made within the SDK via the requestRecentSearches function. Recent Searches can also be cleared or removed individually, and this will be reflected in the SDK as well.

Fetching Recent Searches

Call the requestRecentSearches function to fetch the three most recent searches a user has made within the SDK.
These will be exposed outside the SDK in a callback as an array of CTRecentSearch objects as shown below:

CarTrawlerSDK.sharedInstance().requestRecentSearches { searches, error in
    if let recentSearches: [CTRecentSearch] = searches {
        // recent searches fetched successfully
    }
    else if let error = error {
        // error occurred 
    }
}

Removing Recent Searches

To remove a recent search, pass it into the remove function:

CarTrawlerSDK.sharedInstance().remove(search) { (success, error) in
    if success {
        // search successfully removed 
    } else if let error = error {
        // error occured
    }
}

Clearing Recent Searches

To remove all recent searches at once, use the removeAllRecentSearchesFunction:

CarTrawlerSDK.sharedInstance().removeAllRecentSearches()

Building a Recent Searches UI

To build a UI similar to what is shown on the SDK landing page, we suggest displaying the searches in a table view using the following properties of the CTRecentSearch class:
pickupLocationName, derivedPickupDate, and derivedDropoffDate.

For example:

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "E d MMM, h:mm"
let dateString = "\(dateFormatter.string(from: recentSearch.derivedPickupDate)) - \(dateFormatter.string(from: recentSearch.derivedDropoffDate))"
