Inputs


  • text: Binding<String>
  • isEditing: Binding<Bool>
    • The TextView will modify the value when it is selected and deselected
    • You can also modify this value to automatically select and deselect the TextView
  • placeholder: String? = nil
  • textAlignment: TextView.TextAlignment = .left
  • textHorizontalPadding: CGFloat = 0
  • textVerticalPadding: CGFloat = 7
  • placeholderAlignment: Alignment = .topLeading
  • placeholderHorizontalPadding: CGFloat = 4.5
  • placeholderVerticalPadding: CGFloat = 7
  • font: UIFont = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: .body)
    • By default, the font is a body-style font
  • textColor: UIColor = .black
  • placeholderColor: Color = .gray
  • backgroundColor: UIColor = .white
  • contentType: TextView.ContentType? = nil

Text(“\(isEditing ? “Stop” : “Start”) editing”)
