import Combine

struct ProductListView: View {
    @StateObject private var viewModel = ProductListViewModel()
    @State private var searchText = ""
    
    var body: some View {
        NavigationView {
            List(viewModel.filteredProducts) { product in
                ProductRowView(product: product)
                    .onAppear {
