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

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

Nate Flink的回答是我最喜欢的，但不要忘记左右观点。 例如UITextField子类:

override func rightViewRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    let rightViewBounds = super.rightViewRectForBounds(bounds)

    return CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(rightViewBounds) - 10, CGRectGetMinY(rightViewBounds), CGRectGetWidth(rightViewBounds), CGRectGetHeight(rightViewBounds))
}

上面的代码为UITextField的rightView设置了右填充。

以下是如何在SWIFT中实现这一点

@IBOutlet weak var yourTextField: UITextField!

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, self.yourTextField.frame.height))
yourTextField.leftView = paddingView
yourTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always
}
}

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     
        }
    }
}
