如果有人正在寻找Swift 4.0版本，那么下面的扩展是工作。它有左填充和右填充UITextField。实际上它是IBInspectable用于storyboard配置。您可以直接从接口构建器/故事板设置该值。这是在Swift 4.0版本和Xcode 9.0的测试代码

请记住，如果你想在同一个UITextField上启用清除按钮，那么你必须保持右填充空白。

import UIKit

extension UITextField {

    @IBInspectable var paddingLeft: CGFloat {
        get {
            return leftView!.frame.size.width
        }
        set {
            let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newValue, height: frame.size.height))
            leftView = paddingView
            leftViewMode = .always
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var paddingRight: CGFloat {
        get {
            return rightView!.frame.size.width
        }
        set {
            let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newValue, height: frame.size.height))
            rightView = paddingView
            rightViewMode = .always     
        }
    }
}  

你可以使用分类。设置左填充和右填充

UITextField+Padding.h

@interface UITextField (Padding)
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat paddingValue;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat leftPadding;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat rightPadding;

//overwrite
-(CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
-(CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
@end

UITextField+Padding.m

#import "UITextField+Padding.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

static char TAG_LeftPaddingKey;
static char TAG_RightPaddingKey;
static char TAG_Left_RightPaddingKey;

@implementation UITextField (Padding)

#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation"
-(CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {

CGFloat offset_Left=0;
CGFloat offset_Right=0;
if (self.paddingValue>0) {
    offset_Left=self.paddingValue;
    offset_Right=offset_Left;
}else{
    if (self.leftPadding>0){
        offset_Left=self.leftPadding;
    }
    if (self.rightPadding>0){
        offset_Right=self.rightPadding;
    }
}

if (offset_Left>0||offset_Right>0) {
    return CGRectMake(bounds.origin.x+ offset_Left ,bounds.origin.y ,
                      bounds.size.width- (offset_Left+offset_Right), bounds.size.height-2 );
 }else{
    return bounds;
 }
}



-(CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}
#pragma clang diagnostic pop


#pragma maek -setter&&getter
- (CGFloat)paddingValue
{
    return [objc_getAssociatedObject(self,&TAG_Left_RightPaddingKey) floatValue];
}
-(void)setPaddingValue:(CGFloat)paddingValue
{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &TAG_Left_RightPaddingKey, @(paddingValue), OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

-(CGFloat)leftPadding
{
    return [objc_getAssociatedObject(self,&TAG_LeftPaddingKey) floatValue];
}

-(void)setLeftPadding:(CGFloat)leftPadding
{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &TAG_LeftPaddingKey, @(leftPadding), OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

-(CGFloat)rightPadding
{
    return [objc_getAssociatedObject(self,&TAG_RightPaddingKey) floatValue];
}

-(void)setRightPadding:(CGFloat)rightPadding
{
    objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &TAG_RightPaddingKey, @(rightPadding), OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC);
}

@end

你可以像这样设置填充 self.phoneNumTF.paddingValue f = 10.; 或 self.phoneNumTF.leftPadding f = 10.;

编辑:在iOS 11.3.1中仍然有效

在iOS 6 myTextField。leftView = paddingView;引起了问题

这就解决了问题

myTextField.layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(5, 0, 0)

对于右对齐的文本字段使用CATransform3DMakeTranslation(- 5,0,0)，正如latenitecoder在注释中提到的那样

Swift 3的更新版本:

@IBDesignable
class FormTextField: UITextField {

    @IBInspectable var paddingLeft: CGFloat = 0
    @IBInspectable var paddingRight: CGFloat = 0

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRect(x: bounds.origin.x + paddingLeft, y: bounds.origin.y, width: bounds.size.width - paddingLeft - paddingRight, height: bounds.size.height)
    }

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

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)
 }
}

我发现了一个整洁的小hack来设置左侧填充的确切情况。

基本上，你设置UITextField的leftView属性为你想要的填充大小的空视图:

UIView *paddingView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 5, 20)];
textField.leftView = paddingView;
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

对我来说简直就是魔法!

在Swift 3/ Swift 4中，可以通过这样做来实现

let paddingView: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 5, height: 20))
textField.leftView = paddingView
textField.leftViewMode = .always
