README
ARAutocompleteTextView
Overview
ARAutocompleteTextView is a subclass of UITextView that automatically displays text suggestions in real-time. This is perfect for automatically suggesting the domain as a user types an email address, #hashtag or @handle.
Usage
Installation
Add the following files to your project:
ARAutocompleteTextView.m
ARAutocompleteTextView.h
ARAutocompleteManager.m
ARAutocompleteManager.h
Quickstart Guide
Create an ARAutocompleteTextView
instance exactly as as you would UITextView
. You can do eith either programmitcally or in Interface Builder. Programmatically, this looks like:
Objective C
ARAutocompleteTextView* textField = [[ARAutocompleteTextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,100,31)];
Swift
let textField = ARAutocompleteTextView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 31))
The data source is the brains of the autocomplete logic. If you just want to autocomplete email addresses, #hashtags or @handles, use ARAutocompleteManager
from the example project as follows:
Objective-C
textField.autocompleteDataSource = [ARAutocompleteManager sharedManager];
textField.autocompleteType = ARAutocompleteTypeEmail;
Swift
textField.autocompleteDataSource = ARAutocompleteManager.sharedManager()
textField.autocompleteType = ARAutocompleteType.Mail
Customization
Autocompletion Data Source
ARAutocompleteManager
(included in the example project) provides email address autocompletion out of the box. It comes with a list of the top email domains. You may want to tailor this list of email domains to match your own customers, or you may want to write autocomplete logic for a different type of text view (in the demo, names of colors are autocompleted).
Alternatively, you may wish to create your own data source class and user the autocompleteType
property to differentiate between textviews with different data types. A ARAutocompleteTextView
's data source must implement the following method, as part of the ARAutocompleteDataSource
protocol.
- (NSString *)textField:(ARAutocompleteTextView*)textField completionForPrefix:(NSString *)prefix
You may also set a default dataSource
for all instances of ARAutocompleteTextView
. In the example project, we use a ARAutocompleteManager
singleton:
[autocompleteTextOffset setDefaultAutocompleteDataSource:[ARAutocompleteManager sharedManager]];
Positioning and Formatting
To adjust the position of the autocomplete label by a fixed amount, set autocompleteTextOffset
:
textField.autocompleteTextOffset = CGPointMake(10.0, 10.0);
For more dynamic positioning of the autocomplete label, subclass ARAutocompleteTextView
and override - (CGRect)autocompleteRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
.
To adjust the properties (i.e. font
, textColor
) of the autocomplete label, do so via the `[AutocompleteTextField autocompleteLabel] property.
textField.autocompleteLabel.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
Event Listening
In addition to observing the standard UITextView
notifications (i.e. UITextViewTextDidChangeNotification
and friends), you can use [ARAutocompleteTextView autoCompleteTextFieldDelegate]
to listen for certain events. This is particularly useful if you are collecting analytics.
Etc.
- Use this in your apps whenever you can, particularly email addresses -- your users will appreciate it!
