iTextField

A fully-wrapped UITextField that works entirely in SwiftUI.

Get Started

  1. Install iTextField
  2. Add iTextField to your project
import SwiftUI
import iTextField

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text: String = ""

    var body: some View {
        iTextField("Placeholder", text: $text)
    }
}
  1. Customize your iTextfield

Examples

Starter

iTextFieldDemo1Light
Customize your text field with built-in modifiers.

import SwiftUI
import iTextField

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text: String = ""

    var body: some View {
        iTextField("Placeholder", text: $text)
            .accentColor(.purple)
            .fontFromUIFont(UIFont(name: "Avenir", size: 40))
            .keyboardType(.URL)
            .returnKeyType(.done)
            .disableAutocorrection(true)
            .autocapitalization(.none)
            .padding()
    }
}

Jump text fields

Use the optional isEditing binding parameter to programmatically jump between text fields.

import SwiftUI
import iTextField

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text1: String = ""
    @State var text2: String = ""
    @State var isSecondEditing: String = ""

    var body: some View {
        iTextField("First", text: $text1)
            .onReturn { isSecondEditing = true }
        iTextField("Second", text: $text2,
                   isEditing: $isSecondEditing)
    }
}

Customize

iTextField has two required parameters: 1️⃣ a placeholder and 2️⃣ a text state. You can optionally pass in a 3️⃣rd an isEditing binding if you would like to programmatically focus or unfocus the text field.

iTextField also supports a variety of modifiers.

Example: Change the foreground color, accent color, and text alignment with the following code block:

iTextField("Placeholder", text: $text, isEditing: $isEditing)
    .foregroundColor(.purple)
    .accentColor(.green)
    .multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
