⌨️ KeyboardLayoutGuide

Apple’s missing KeyboardLayoutGuide

• [x] No Subclassing / Protocol inheritance / obscure overrides
• [x] No more keyboard notification handling
• [x] UIKit Friendly
• [x] Takes safeArea into account
• [x] Only animates if view is fully on screen

How to use it

Simply constrain your views to the KeyboardLayoutGuide’s top anchor the way you would do natively:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Pin your button to the keyboard
    button.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.keyboardLayoutGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true
}

Bonus: if you’re using Stevia, this gets even more concise \o/

button.Bottom == view.keyboardLayoutGuide.Top

If you add your view in Interface Builder, don’t forget to enable the “Remove at build time” checkbox for the bottom constraint:

Safe Area

By default, KeyboardLayoutGuide will align your item with the bottom safe area.
This is a behaviour that can be opt out by using keyboardLayoutGuideNoSafeArea instead of keyboardLayoutGuide.
