import UIKit

class HomePageViewController: UIViewController {

//Connection from an Interface Builder to a UI component
@IBOutlet private weak var searchSongSearchBar: UISearchBar!

	override func viewDidLoad() {
		super.viewDidLoad()
		setupViews()
	}
}

extension HomePageViewController {
	private func setupViews() {
	
		//SearchBar properties
		searchSongSearchBar.layer.cornerRadius = 10
		searchSongSearchBar.layer.masksToBounds =  true 
		searchSongSearchBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .any, barMetrics: .default)
		searchSongSearchBar.placeholder = NSLocalizedString("search", comment: "")
		if let placeholderInsidesearchSongSearchBar = searchSongSearchBar.value(forKey: "searchField") as? UITextField {
