<template>
  <f7-page>

      @searchbar:enable="onEnable"
      @searchbar:disable="onDisable"
      @searchbar:clear="onClear"
    ></f7-searchbar>

    <f7-list class="searchbar-not-found">
      <f7-list-item title="Nothing found"></f7-list-item>
    </f7-list>

    <f7-list class="searchbar-found" id="search-list">
      <f7-list-item v-for="item in items" :title="'Item ' + item"></f7-list-item>
    </f7-list>

  </f7-page>

          for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) it.push(i+1);
          return it;
        })()
