KeyboardObserver
  • March 11, 2024

For less complicated keyboard event handling.

Carthage compatible

Features


  • Less complicated keyboard event handling.
  • Do not use Notification , but event .

Difference


Without KeyboardObserver.swift

let keyboardNotifications: [Notification.Name] = [
.UIKeyboardWillShow,
.UIKeyboardWillHide,
.UIKeyboardWillChangeFrame,
]

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

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)

keyboardNotifications.forEach {
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(keyboardEventNotified:), name: $0, object: nil)
}
}

override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

keyboardNotifications.forEach {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: $0, object: nil)
}
}

@objc func keyboardEventNotified(notification: NSNotification) {
guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo else { return }
let keyboardFrameEnd = (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as! NSValue).cgRectValue
let curve = UIView.AnimationCurve(rawValue: (userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey] as! NSNumber).intValue)!
let options = UIView.AnimationOptions(rawValue: UInt(curve.rawValue << 16))
let duration = TimeInterval(truncating: userInfo[UIResponder.keyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] as! NSNumber)
let bottom = keyboardFrameEnd.height – bottomLayoutGuide.length

UIView.animate(withDuration: duration, delay: 0.0, options: [options], animations:
{ () -> Void in
self.textView.contentInset.bottom = bottom
self.textView.scrollIndicatorInsets.bottom = bottom
} , completion: nil)
}

With KeyboardObserver

let keyboard = KeyboardObserver()

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()

keyboard.observe { [weak self] (event) -> Void in
guard let self = self else { return }
switch event.type {
case .willShow, .willHide, .willChangeFrame:
let keyboardFrameEnd = event.keyboardFrameEnd
let bottom = keyboardFrameEnd.height – self.bottomLayoutGuide.length

UIView.animate(withDuration: event.duration, delay: 0.0, options: [event.options], animations: { () -> Void in
self.textView.contentInset.bottom = bottom
self.textView.scrollIndicatorInsets.bottom = bottom
}, completion: nil)
default:
break
}
}
}

How to use


Create KeyboardObserver instance where you want, and the instance observes keyboard untill deinit.

Call observe(event: KeyboardEvent) to observe keyboard events. event is converted keyboard notification object.

public struct KeyboardEvent {
public let type: KeyboardEventType
public let keyboardFrameBegin: CGRect
public let keyboardFrameEnd: CGRect
public let curve: UIViewAnimationCurve
public let duration: NSTimeInterval
public var isLocal: Bool?

public var options: UIViewAnimationOptions {
return UIViewAnimationOptions(rawValue: UInt(curve.rawValue << 16))
}

event has properties above. You don’t have to convert Notification ‘s userInfo to extract keyboard event values.

KeyboardEentType has types same as keyboard’s notification name. Like this below:

public enum KeyboardEventType {
case willShow
case didShow
case willHide
case didHide
case willChangeFrame
case didChangeFrame

}

It has also public var notificationName: String which you can get original notification name.

Runtime Requirements


  • iOS 8.0 or later
  • Xcode 10.0
  • Swift4.2

Installation and Setup


Information: To use KeyboardObserver with a project targeting lower than iOS 8.0, you must include the KeyboardObserver.swift source file directly in your project.

Installing with Carthage

Just add to your Cartfile:

github “morizotter/KeyboardObserver”

Installing with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a centralised dependency manager that automates the process of adding libraries to your Cocoa application. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem update
$ gem install cocoapods
$ pods –version

To integrate KeyboardObserver into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile and run pod install.

platform :ios, ‘8.0’
use_frameworks!
pod “KeyboardObserver”, ‘~> 2.1’

Manual Installation

To install KeyboardObserver without a dependency manager, please add KeyboardObserver.swift to your Xcode Project.
