Swift 5

添加UITextfield的扩展，然后选择一个文本字段并检查属性检查器

private var __maxLengths = [UITextField: Int]()

extension UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
        get {
            guard let l = __maxLengths[self] else {
               return 150 // (default int limit)
            }
            return l
        }
        set {
            __maxLengths[self] = newValue
            addTarget(self, action: #selector(setMaxLength), for: .editingChanged)
        }
    }

    @objc func setMaxLength(textField: UITextField) {
        let t = textField.text
        textField.text = t?.prefix(maxLength).description
    }
}

使用这段代码在这里RESTRICTED_LENGTH是长度你想限制的文本字段。

   - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField     shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    if (textField == nameTF) {
    int limit = RESTRICTED_LENGTH - 1;
    return !([textField.text length]>limit && [string length] > range.length);
    }
   else
   {
    return YES;
   }

return NO;

}

现在你想要多少字符，只要给值就行了

 - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range   replacementString:(NSString *)string {
     NSUInteger newLength = [textField.text length] + [string length] - range.length;
     return (newLength > 25) ? NO : YES;
  }

下面的代码类似于sickp的答案，但是正确地处理复制-粘贴操作。如果尝试粘贴超过限制的文本，下面的代码将截断文本以符合限制，而不是完全拒绝粘贴操作。

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    static const NSUInteger limit = 70; // we limit to 70 characters
    NSUInteger allowedLength = limit - [textField.text length] + range.length;
    if (string.length > allowedLength) {
        if (string.length > 1) {
            // get at least the part of the new string that fits
            NSString *limitedString = [string substringToIndex:allowedLength];
            NSMutableString *newString = [textField.text mutableCopy];
            [newString replaceCharactersInRange:range withString:limitedString];
            textField.text = newString;
        }
        return NO;
    } else {
        return YES;
    }
}

我在Swift中这样做是为了在使用数字垫时限制8个字符。

func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    return !(textField.text?.characters.count == MAX_LENGTH && string != "")
}

我必须测试string != ""以允许删除按钮在数字板上工作，否则它将不允许在达到最大值后删除文本字段中的字符。

我已经实现了一个UITextField扩展，以添加一个maxLength属性。

它基于Xcode 6 IBInspectables，所以你可以在接口构建器上设置maxLength限制。

实现如下:

UITextField + MaxLength。h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UITextField_MaxLength : UITextField<UITextFieldDelegate>

@property (nonatomic)IBInspectable int textMaxLength;
@end

UITextField + MaxLength。m

#import "UITextField+MaxLength.h"

@interface UITextField_MaxLength()

@property (nonatomic, assign) id <UITextFieldDelegate> superDelegate;

@end

@implementation UITextField_MaxLength

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *) textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {

    //validate the length, only if it's set to a non zero value
    if (self.textMaxLength>0) {
        if(range.length + range.location > textField.text.length)
            return NO;

        if (textField.text.length+string.length - range.length>self.textMaxLength) {
            return NO;
        }
    }

    //if length validation was passed, query the super class to see if the delegate method is implemented there
    if (self.superDelegate && [self.superDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:)]) {
        return [self.superDelegate textField:textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:range replacementString:string];
    }
    else{
        //if the super class does not implement the delegate method, simply return YES as the length validation was passed
        return YES;
    }
}

- (void)setDelegate:(id<UITextFieldDelegate>)delegate {
    if (delegate == self)
        return;
    self.superDelegate = delegate;
    [super setDelegate:self];
}

//forward all non overriden delegate methods
- (id)forwardingTargetForSelector:(SEL)aSelector {
    if ([self.superDelegate  respondsToSelector:aSelector])
        return self.superDelegate;

    return [super forwardingTargetForSelector:aSelector];
}

- (BOOL)respondsToSelector:(SEL)aSelector {
    if ([self.superDelegate respondsToSelector:aSelector])
        return YES;

    return [super respondsToSelector:aSelector];
}
@end
