只是UITextField的子类，像这样:

@implementation DFTextField


- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return CGRectInset(bounds, 10.0f, 0);
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}


@end

这增加了10点的水平填充两边。

Swift 3解决方案

class CustomTextField: UITextField {

 override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
  return CGRect(x: bounds.origin.x + 10, y: bounds.origin.y + 8, width: bounds.size.width - 20, height: bounds.size.height - 16)
 }

 override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
  return self.textRect(forBounds: bounds)
 }
}

textField.layer.borderWidth = 3;

将添加边框，这对我来说是填充。

我是基于Nate的解决方案，但后来我发现，这导致问题，当你使用leftView/rightView属性，所以它更好地调优超级的实现，因为它将左/右视图的考虑。

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect ret = [super textRectForBounds:bounds];
    ret.origin.x = ret.origin.x + 5;
    ret.size.width = ret.size.width - 10;
    return ret;
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}

@Evil trout的回答很棒。我使用这种方法已经有一段时间了。它唯一缺少的是“处理大量文本字段”。我尝试了其他方法，但似乎不奏效。

子类化UITextField只是为了添加填充对我来说没有任何意义。因此，我迭代了所有UITextFields来添加填充。

-(void) addPaddingToAllTextFields:(UIView*)view {

    for(id currentView in [view subviews]){
        if([currentView isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) {
            // Change value of CGRectMake to fit ur need
            [currentView setLeftView:[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, 20)]];
            [currentView setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeAlways];
        }

        if([currentView respondsToSelector:@selector(subviews)]){
            [textfieldarray addObjectsFromArray:[self addPaddingToAllTextFields:currentView]];
        }
    }
}

Objective C代码

MyTextField.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface MyTextField : UITextField

@property (nonatomic) IBInspectable CGFloat padding;

@end

MyTextField.m

#import "MyTextField.h"

IB_DESIGNABLE
@implementation MyTextField

@synthesize padding;

-(CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds{
    return CGRectInset(bounds, padding, padding);
}

-(CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds{
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}

@end
