Usage
Example
GrowingTextview is just a textview, download the example to see how to use it as a input toolbar like other instant messaging apps.
Using GrowingTextview programmatically
let textView = GrowingTextView()
textView.delegate = self
addSubview(textView)
Using GrowingTextview in Storyboard
- Drag a TextView into Storyboard.
- Set class to "GrowingTextView".
- Set delegate to it's view controller.
automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets
Sometime the view controller may incorrectly adjust the inset of textview automatically. To avoid this, set automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets
to false
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
}
Customization

---|---|---|---|
maxLength | Int | Maximum text length. Exceeded text will be trimmed. 0 means no limit. | 0 |
trimWhiteSpaceWhenEndEditing | Bool | Trim white space and new line characters when textview did end editing. | true |

textView.minHeight = 25.0
textView.maxHeight = 70.0
textView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

Animation
- Adopt
GrowingTextViewDelegate
instead of UITextViewDelegate. - Implement textViewDidChangeHeight.
- Call layoutIfNeeded() on superview inside the animation.
class ViewController: UIViewController, GrowingTextViewDelegate {
func textViewDidChangeHeight(_ textView: GrowingTextView, height: CGFloat) {
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2) {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
}
}
Delegate
GrowingTextViewDelegate
is inherited from UITextViewDelegate. You may use it's delegate function as a normal UITextView.
class ViewController: UIViewController, GrowingTextViewDelegate {
func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
...
}
func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
...
}
}
