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)
    }
}

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

最好的方法是使用UITextField的子类并在.m文件中创建一个类

 #import "CustomTextField.h"
 #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
 @implementation CustomTextField


- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)coder 
 {
  self = [super initWithCoder:coder];

  if (self) {

//self.clipsToBounds = YES;
//[self setRightViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeUnlessEditing];

self.leftView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,15,46)];
self.leftViewMode=UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
   }

  return self;

 }

通过这样做，去到你的故事板或xib，点击身份检查器，用你自己的“CustomTextField”在类选项替换UITextfield。

注意:如果你只是给文本框自动布局填充，那么你的应用程序将不会运行，只显示空白屏幕。

textField.layer.borderWidth = 3;

将添加边框，这对我来说是填充。

你不能设置填充。而是有一个UIView，里面有你的背景图像和UITextField。设置UITextField的宽度为UIViewWidth-(paddingSize x 2)和高度相似，然后设置它在点paddingSize,paddingSize。
