KMPlaceholderTextView

Textview

October 21, 2023

A UITextView subclass that adds support for multiline placeholder written in Swift.

Usage

You can set the value of the placeholder property just like using UITextField.

Interface Builder

Drag a UITextView object onto the canvas.
In the Identity inspector, set the Custom Class name to KMPlaceholderTextView.
In the Attributes inspector, you can change the value of the placeholder property directly.

Code


                                              
                                                let placeholderTextView = KMPlaceholderTextView(frame: view.bounds)

placeholderTextView.placeholder = “What’s on your mind?”

view.addSubview(placeholderTextView)

If you are encountering the following warning when using Xcode 8, please make sure to set the Module in the identity inspector of your KMPlaceholderTextView in the interface builder to KMPlaceholderTextView as well:
