Inwizards-blog-img

So you want to know How To Validate TextField Using Swift 2.0 In iOS? Don’t worry Inwizards, a leading Software Development Company has expert developers that has solution to your query.

Objective:- Make a registration form with apply all required validation.

Create a new project

Open Xcode , create a new “Single Page Application” and select Swift as the programming language.

Add a TextField property

Open the ViewController.swift class and add a new tableview instance variable below the class declaration.

@IBOutlet weak var firstName: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var LastName: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var UserName: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var DateofBirth: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var MobileNo: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var password: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var Cpassword: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var DOB: UIDatePicker!

@IBOutlet weak var emailID: UITextField!

Add Source File from project directory.

TextFieldValidation.swift

ValidationError.swift

ValidationErrorType.swift

ValidationFactory.swift

ValidationRule.swift

ValidationRuleType.swift

Validator.swift

Validation.swift

Confirm to the TextField Delegate.

To conform to the UITextFieldDelegate,ValidationFieldDelegate just add them separated by colons after UIViewController in the class declaration. This was a bit confusing at first but the new protocol syntax is cleaner.

class ViewController: UIViewController,UITextFieldDelegate,ValidationFieldDelegate

{

…….

}


Add a TextField in your view controller

Search in the component library(It should be in the lower right corner) for TextField and then drag and drop it on the view.

Connect the Interface Builder Outlets

Connect the referencing delegate outlets.
We can connect the respective outlets using interface builder by right clicking on the textfield view and dragging each outlet on the view controller.

Now Goto ViewController.swift file

import UIKit

struct MoveKeyboard {

static let KEYBOARD_ANIMATION_DURATION : CGFloat = 0.3

static let MINIMUM_SCROLL_FRACTION : CGFloat = 0.2;

static let MAXIMUM_SCROLL_FRACTION : CGFloat = 0.8;

static let PORTRAIT_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT : CGFloat = 216;

static let LANDSCAPE_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT : CGFloat = 162;

}

class ViewController:UIViewController,UITextFieldDelegate,ValidationFieldDelegate,UIAlertViewDelegate

You can use the delegate methods to prevent the user from starting or stopping the editing process or to validate text as it is typed.

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.

I was interested to know how you center yourself
and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas
out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Many thanks!
