The idea is derived from the view group of Android. An instance UITextView/UITextField is wrapped by TextInputViewGroup, which is Decorator Pattern or Proxy Pattern from the perspective of design patterns.
#CocoaPods install pod 'TextInputViewGroup', '~> 1.0.3' support iOS>=8.0
##code demo You can init it [initWithFrame:] , certainly, from storyboard is OK. The following code is UITextView demo from storyboard. UITextField usage is similar to UITextView.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var textView: TIVTextView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
textView.delegate = self;
textView.placeHolderText = NSAttributedString(string: "请输入评论， 不超过20个字", attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(12), NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()])
textField.tipLabel.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(16, weight: UIFontWeightLight)
textField.tipLabelHeight = 18;
}
}
extension ViewController:TIVTextViewDelegate{
var maxAllowCharactersCount:Int {
get{
return 20
}
}
func textView(didBeginEditing textView:TIVTextView){
print("text view did begin editing")
}
func textView(didEndEditing textView:TIVTextView){
print("text view did end editing")
}
func textView(shouldEndEditing textView:TIVTextView) -> Bool{
return true
}
func textView(didChanged textView:TIVTextView) -> (String, Bool){
let maxCount = self.maxAllowCharactersCount
let currentTextCount = textView.currentText.characters.count
let exccedCount = currentTextCount - maxCount;
if exccedCount > 0{//excced the max
return ("超过\(exccedCount)个文字", true)
}else{
return ("", false)
}
}
}
