这里有一些东西可以被放到UIStackView中，它会使用内部高度约束来调整自己的大小。可能需要调整以适应特定的需求。

import UIKit

public protocol PlaceholderTextViewDelegate: class {
  func placeholderTextViewTextChanged(_ textView: PlaceholderTextView, text: String)
}

public class PlaceholderTextView: UIView {

  public weak var delegate: PlaceholderTextViewDelegate?
  private var heightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint?

  public override init(frame: CGRect) {

    let textViewSize = self.textView.sizeThatFits(maxSize)
    let placeholderSize = self.placeholderTextView.sizeThatFits(maxSize)

    let maxHeight = ceil(CGFloat.maximum(textViewSize.height, placeholderSize.height))

    self.heightConstraint?.constant = maxHeight
  }
}

extension PlaceholderTextView: UITextViewDelegate {
  public func textViewDidChangeSelection(_: UITextView) {
    self.placeholderTextView.alpha = self.textView.text.isEmpty ? 1 : 0
    self.updateHeight()
  }

  public func textViewDidChange(_: UITextView) {
    self.delegate?.placeholderTextViewTextChanged(self, text: self.textView.text)
  }

  public func textView(_: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn _: NSRange,

这个扩展为我工作得很好:https://github.com/devxoul/UITextView-Placeholder

下面是一个代码片段:

通过pod安装:

pod 'UITextView+Placeholder', '~> 1.2'

将它导入到类中

import UITextView_Placeholder

并添加占位符属性到您已经创建的UITextView

textView.placeholder = "Put some detail"

这是…… 这里是它的外观(第三个框是一个UITextView)

还有一个解决方案(Swift 3):

import UIKit

protocol PlaceholderTextViewDelegate {
    func placeholderTextViewDidChangeText(_ text:String)
    func placeholderTextViewDidEndEditing(_ text:String)
}

final class PlaceholderTextView: UITextView {

    var notifier:PlaceholderTextViewDelegate?

    var placeholder: String? {
        didSet {
            placeholderLabel?.text = placeholder
        }
    }
    var placeholderColor = UIColor.lightGray
    var placeholderFont = UIFont.appMainFontForSize(14.0) {
        didSet {
            placeholderLabel?.font = placeholderFont
        }
    }

    fileprivate var placeholderLabel: UILabel?

    // MARK: - LifeCycle

    init() {
        super.init(frame: CGRect.zero, textContainer: nil)
        awakeFromNib()
    }

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

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()

        self.delegate = self
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(PlaceholderTextView.textDidChangeHandler(notification:)), name: .UITextViewTextDidChange, object: nil)

        placeholderLabel = UILabel()
        placeholderLabel?.textColor = placeholderColor
        placeholderLabel?.text = placeholder
        placeholderLabel?.textAlignment = .left
        placeholderLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        placeholderLabel?.font = placeholderFont

        var height:CGFloat = placeholderFont.lineHeight
        if let data = placeholderLabel?.text {

            let expectedDefaultWidth:CGFloat = bounds.size.width
            let fontSize:CGFloat = placeholderFont.pointSize

            let textView = UITextView()
            textView.text = data
            textView.font = UIFont.appMainFontForSize(fontSize)
            let sizeForTextView = textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: expectedDefaultWidth,
                                                               height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
            let expectedTextViewHeight = sizeForTextView.height

            if expectedTextViewHeight > height {
                height = expectedTextViewHeight
            }
        }

        placeholderLabel?.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 0, width: bounds.size.width - 16, height: height)

        if text.isEmpty {
            addSubview(placeholderLabel!)
            bringSubview(toFront: placeholderLabel!)
        } else {
            placeholderLabel?.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }

    func textDidChangeHandler(notification: Notification) {
        layoutSubviews()
    }

}

extension PlaceholderTextView : UITextViewDelegate {
    // MARK: - UITextViewDelegate
    func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
        if(text == "\n") {
            textView.resignFirstResponder()
            return false
        }
        return true
    }

    func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        notifier?.placeholderTextViewDidChangeText(textView.text)
    }

    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        notifier?.placeholderTextViewDidEndEditing(textView.text)
    }
}

迅速的回答

这是一个自定义类，用于动画占位符。

class CustomTextView: UITextView {
    
    //   MARK: - public
    
    public var placeHolderText: String? = "Enter Reason.."
    
    public lazy var placeHolderLabel: UILabel! = {
        let placeHolderLabel = UILabel(frame: .zero)
        placeHolderLabel.numberOfLines = 0
        placeHolderLabel.backgroundColor = .clear
        placeHolderLabel.alpha = 0.5
        return placeHolderLabel
    }()
    
    //   MARK: - Init
    
    override init(frame: CGRect, textContainer: NSTextContainer?) {
        super.init(frame: frame, textContainer: textContainer)
        enableNotifications()
    }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        enableNotifications()
    }
    
    func setup() {
        placeHolderLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 8, y: 8, width: self.bounds.size.width - 16, height: 15)
        placeHolderLabel.sizeToFit()
    }
    
    //   MARK: - Cycle
    
    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        
        textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 8, left: 5, bottom: 8, right: 8)
        returnKeyType = .done
        addSubview(placeHolderLabel)
        placeHolderLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 8, y: 8, width: self.bounds.size.width - 16, height: 15)
        placeHolderLabel.textColor = textColor
        placeHolderLabel.font = font
        placeHolderLabel.text = placeHolderText
        bringSubviewToFront(placeHolderLabel)
    }
    
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        setup()
    }
    
    //   MARK: - Notifications
    
    private func enableNotifications() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(textDidChangeNotification(_:)), name: UITextView.textDidChangeNotification , object: nil)
    }
    
    @objc func textDidChangeNotification(_ notify: Notification) {
        guard self == notify.object as? UITextView else { return }
        guard placeHolderText != nil else { return }
        
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25, animations: {
            self.placeHolderLabel.alpha = (self.text.count == 0) ? 0.5 : 0
        }, completion: nil)
    }
    
}

Swift 4更新

UITextView本身没有占位符属性，所以你必须用UITextViewDelegate方法来创建和操作一个。我建议使用下面的解决方案#1或#2，这取决于所需的行为。

注意:对于任何一种解决方案，都需要将UITextViewDelegate添加到类中，并设置textView.delegate = self来使用文本视图的委托方法。

解决方案#1 -如果你想让占位符在用户选择文本视图时立即消失:

首先将UITextView设置为包含占位符文本，并将其设置为浅灰色，以模拟UITextField的占位符文本的外观。要么在viewDidLoad中这样做，要么在文本视图创建时这样做。

textView.text = "Placeholder"
textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray

然后，当用户开始编辑文本视图时，如果文本视图包含一个占位符(即，如果其文本颜色是浅灰色)，则清除占位符文本，并将文本颜色设置为黑色，以便容纳用户的输入。

func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray {
        textView.text = nil
        textView.textColor = UIColor.black
    }
}

然后，当用户完成编辑文本视图并将其作为第一响应器时，如果文本视图为空，则通过重新添加占位符文本并将其颜色设置为浅灰色来重置其占位符。

func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.text.isEmpty {
        textView.text = "Placeholder"
        textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
    }
}

解决方案#2 -如果你想要占位符显示文本视图是空的，即使文本视图被选中:

首先在viewDidLoad中设置占位符:

textView.text = "Placeholder"
textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray

textView.becomeFirstResponder()

textView.selectedTextRange = textView.textRange(from: textView.beginningOfDocument, to: textView.beginningOfDocument)

(注意:由于OP希望在视图加载时立即选择文本视图，所以我将文本视图选择合并到上面的代码中。如果这不是你想要的行为，你不希望在视图加载时选择文本视图，从上面的代码块中删除最后两行。)

然后使用shouldChangeTextInRange UITextViewDelegate方法，如下所示:

func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {

    // Combine the textView text and the replacement text to
    // create the updated text string
    let currentText:String = textView.text
    let updatedText = (currentText as NSString).replacingCharacters(in: range, with: text)

    // If updated text view will be empty, add the placeholder
    // and set the cursor to the beginning of the text view
    if updatedText.isEmpty {

        textView.text = "Placeholder"
        textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray

        textView.selectedTextRange = textView.textRange(from: textView.beginningOfDocument, to: textView.beginningOfDocument)
    }

    // Else if the text view's placeholder is showing and the
    // length of the replacement string is greater than 0, set 
    // the text color to black then set its text to the
    // replacement string
     else if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray && !text.isEmpty {
        textView.textColor = UIColor.black
        textView.text = text
    }

    // For every other case, the text should change with the usual
    // behavior...
    else {
        return true
    }

    // ...otherwise return false since the updates have already
    // been made
    return false
}

也实现textViewDidChangeSelection，以防止用户改变光标的位置，而占位符是可见的。(注意:textViewDidChangeSelection在视图加载之前被调用，所以如果窗口是可见的，只检查文本视图的颜色):

func textViewDidChangeSelection(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if self.view.window != nil {
        if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray {
            textView.selectedTextRange = textView.textRange(from: textView.beginningOfDocument, to: textView.beginningOfDocument)
        }
    }
}

斯威夫特

这是一个Swiftui TextView使用UIVIewRepresentable，具有占位符功能和边界颜色

struct TextView: UIViewRepresentable {

@Binding var text: String
var placeholderText: String
var textStyle: UIFont.TextStyle

func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
    let textView = UITextView()

    textView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: textStyle)
    textView.autocapitalizationType = .sentences
    textView.isSelectable = true
    textView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    textView.delegate = context.coordinator
    textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.6
    textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
    textView.text = placeholderText
    textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
    return textView
}

func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) {
    uiView.text = text
    uiView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: textStyle)
}

func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
    Coordinator(self)
}
 
class Coordinator: NSObject, UITextViewDelegate {
    var parent: TextView
 
    init(_ parent: TextView) {
        self.parent = parent
    }
 
    func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        self.parent.text = textView.text
    }
    
    func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray {
            textView.text = nil
            textView.textColor = UIColor.black
        }
    }
    
    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.text.isEmpty {
            textView.text = self.parent.placeholderText
            textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        }
    }
}

}

然后在你的视图中你可以这样使用它

TextView(text: self.$viewModel.addPostCommentText, placeholderText: "Share your story about this cash", textStyle: .body)
                .padding()
                .frame(height: 150)
