我创建了这个类别实现，并将其添加到.m文件的顶部。

@implementation UITextField (custom)
    - (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
        return CGRectMake(bounds.origin.x + 10, bounds.origin.y + 8,
                          bounds.size.width - 20, bounds.size.height - 16);
    }
    - (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
        return [self textRectForBounds:bounds];
    }
@end

根据彼得·布拉斯亚克提供的链接。这似乎比创建一个全新的子类更简单，也比添加额外的UIView更简单。不过，似乎缺少了一些东西，无法控制文本字段内的填充。

Swift 4解决方案:

class CustomTextField: UITextField {
    struct Constants {
        static let sidePadding: CGFloat = 10
        static let topPadding: CGFloat = 8
    }

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRect(
            x: bounds.origin.x + Constants.sidePadding,
            y: bounds.origin.y + Constants.topPadding,
            width: bounds.size.width - Constants.sidePadding * 2,
            height: bounds.size.height - Constants.topPadding * 2
        )
    }

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

斯威夫特版本:

extension UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var padding_left: CGFloat {
        get {
            LF.log("WARNING no getter for UITextField.padding_left")
            return 0
        }
        set (f) {
            layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(f, 0, 0)
        }
    }
}

这样你就可以在IB中赋值

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)
 }
}

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

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

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
