一个Swift 3版本的Xcode >6，在那里你可以在接口生成器/故事板编辑插入值。

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class FormTextField: UITextField {

    @IBInspectable var inset: CGFloat = 0

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }

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

}

为什么不是带属性字符串!?!，这是IOS 6.0的祝福功能之一:)

NSMutableParagraphStyle *mps = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
            mps.firstLineHeadIndent = 5.0f;
UIColor *placeColor = self.item.bgColor;

textFieldInstance.attributedPlaceholder = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"My Place Holder" attributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: placeColor, NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont systemFontOfSize:7.0f], NSParagraphStyleAttributeName : mps}];

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

到目前为止，我找到的最佳解决方案是分类。这就是我如何在左右两侧添加5点填充:

@implementation UITextField (Padding)

#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation"
- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return CGRectMake(bounds.origin.x + 5, bounds.origin.y,
                      bounds.size.width - 10, bounds.size.height);
}
- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
}
#pragma clang diagnostic pop

@end

#pragma’s只是用来删除恼人的警告

为UITextField添加填充的一个好方法是子类化并添加一个edgeInsets属性。然后设置edgeInsets和UITextField将相应地绘制。对于自定义的leftView或rightView集，这也能正确地发挥作用。

OSTextField.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface OSTextField : UITextField

@property (nonatomic, assign) UIEdgeInsets edgeInsets;

@end

OSTextField.m

#import "OSTextField.h"

@implementation OSTextField

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        self.edgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
    }
    return self;
}

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if(self){
        self.edgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
    }
    return self;
}

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return [super textRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, self.edgeInsets)];
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    return [super editingRectForBounds:UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, self.edgeInsets)];
}

@end

Swift 3版本:

class CustomTextField:UITextField{

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder){
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
    }

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

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