How to implement search box validation using switch class in jQuery?

How to implement search box validation using switch class in jQuery?, someone asked me to explain?

Switch class() method is used to replace one class with another class instead of addClass() and removeClass(). We can also set duration, easing and call back arguments. I will show you how to with example.

When user clicks the search button without entering value in the text field error class will appear with transition effects. If he enters value it will rollback to default.

Example:

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>search boxvalidation using switch class in jQuery</title>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
    <style type="text/css">
        .default, input {
            border: 2px solid #27659f;
        }
        .error {
            border: 2px solid #a72b2e;
            background-color: #f78080;
        }
        input {
            width: 200px;
            height: 40px;
            border: 1px solid #B6BBBF;
            font-size: 19px;
        }
        .btn {
            width: 100px;
            height: 50px;
            background: #00BCD4;
            border-style: solid;
            border-color: white;
            color: white;
        }
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
       $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#btnsearch").click(function (e) {
               e.preventDefault();
                var input = $(this).prev();
                if (input.val() == "") {
                   input.switchClass("default", "error", 1200);
               } else if (input.val() && input.hasClass("error")) {
                   input.switchClass("error", "default", 1200);
               }
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body style="border: 1px solid #DED8D8; width: 500px; height: 250px; font-family: Arial;">
    <h1 style="color: #E91E63">search box validation using switch class in jQuery </h1>
    <input type="text"/>
    <button class="btn" id="btnsearch">Search</button>
</body>
</html> 

Output:
