UItextField with Multiple lines

Question

I am trying to make a form and the requirement is to have a UItextfield with multiple lines which means, when a specific number of characters are entered in one line the blip moves to next line also on hitting enter it should enter the next line as well.

Currently, I am working with Xcode 9.4 but it offers a single line text field.

Answer 1

I used UITextView with this code:

lazy var commentTextView: UITextView = {
    // Create a TextView.
    let textView: UITextView = UITextView()

    // Round the corners.
    textView.layer.masksToBounds = true

    // Set the size of the roundness.
    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 20.0

    // Set the thickness of the border.
    textView.layer.borderWidth = 1

    // Set the border color to black.
    textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.systemGray.cgColor

    // Set the font.
    textView.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16.0)

    // Set font color.
    textView.textColor = UIColor.black

    // Set left justified.
    textView.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.left

    // Automatically detect links, dates, etc. and convert them to links.
    textView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypes.all

    // Set shadow darkness.
    textView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5

    // Make text uneditable.
    textView.isEditable = true

    return textView
}()

and this is the result

You should use UITextView for multiline string or there is third party library which you can use. MultilineTextField
