UnderLineTextField

Simple UITextfield Subclass with state

• Installation
• How It Works

Installation

Cocoapods

You can use cocoapods to add UnderLineTextField to your project

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'UnderLineTextField', '~> 2.1'
end

Carthage

You can use Carthage to add UnderLineTextField to your project

To integrate UnderLineTextField into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your ‘Cartfile’:

github "mohammadalijf/UnderLineTextField"

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built UnderLineTextField.framework into your Xcode project.

xcode does not support ‘IBDesignable’ or ‘IBInspecatable’ on cocoa frameworks. to work around for carthage users. created simple ‘UnderLineTextFieldCarthage.swift’ file. it is a wrapper around ‘UnderLineTextfield’ which can be used in projects for supporting ‘IBDesignable’ and ‘IBInspecatable’. just simply drop ‘UnderLineTextFieldCarthage.swift’ in your project and use this class instead of ‘UnderLineTextfield’.

How It Works

UnderLineTextField

each textfield have four state

• inactive

  when textfield have no errors or warnings and is resigned from first responder

• active

  when textfield become first responder

• warning

  when you want show warnings to user

• error

  when you want show error to user

by default textfield have .inactive state

textfield have diffrent kind of UnderLineTextFieldValidateType. each time tells textfield when call validate().

• onFly

  as soon as textfield value changes

• afterEdit

  as soon as textfield didEndEditing

• onCommit

  manualy gets validate by user

• always

  alway validate textfield. when become beginEditing, when value changes, when didEndEditing

by default value is .afterEdit

you can change validation type by setting validationType

 underLineTextField.validationType = .always

you can ask textfield to validate user input by calling

underLineTextField.validate()

UnderLineTextFieldDelegate

Also you have UnderLineTextFieldDelegate to help you with your textfield. when a class confirm to UnderLineTextFieldDelegate protocol, it also confirms to UITextFieldDelegate. so you have both delegate methods on hand.

• textFieldValidate

this func is called whenever you ask the textfield to validate() user input. you usually want to set warning or error state in here.

func textFieldValidate(underLineTextField: UnderLineTextField) throws

you can either throw warrning or errors

func textFieldValidate(underLineTextField: UnderLineTextField) throws {
    throw UnderLineTextFieldErrors
                    .error(message: "error message")
    // or
    throw UnderLineTextFieldErrors
                    .warning(message: "warning message")
}

• textFieldTextChanged

this func is called when text changes. or clear button is used.

func textFieldTextChanged(underLineTextField: UnderLineTextField)
