我根据@Frouo给出了补充答案。我认为他的回答是最美丽的方式。因为这是一个我们可以重用的通用控件。

private var kAssociationKeyMaxLength: Int = 0

extension UITextField {

    @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
        get {
            if let length = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLength) as? Int {
                return length
            } else {
                return Int.max
            }
        }
        set {
            objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &kAssociationKeyMaxLength, newValue, .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
            self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(checkMaxLength), for: .editingChanged)
        }
    }

    func checkMaxLength(textField: UITextField) {

        guard !self.isInputMethod(), let prospectiveText = self.text,
            prospectiveText.count > maxLength
            else {
                return
        }

        let selection = selectedTextRange
        let maxCharIndex = prospectiveText.index(prospectiveText.startIndex, offsetBy: maxLength)
        text = prospectiveText.substring(to: maxCharIndex)
        selectedTextRange = selection
    }

    //The method is used to cancel the check when use Chinese Pinyin input method.
    //Becuase the alphabet also appears in the textfield when inputting, we should cancel the check.
    func isInputMethod() -> Bool {
        if let positionRange = self.markedTextRange {
            if let _ = self.position(from: positionRange.start, offset: 0) {
                return true
            }
        }
        return false
    }

}

Swift 4 + 2。

通过实现UITextFieldDelegate方法

ViewController: class MyViewController: UIViewController { let MAX_LENGTH = 256 @IBOutlet weak var myTextField: UITextField! override viewDidLoad() { self.myTextField.delegate = self } } Delegate: extension MyViewController: UITextFieldDelegate { func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool { let userText = textView.text ?? "" var newText = "" if range.length > 0 { let txt = NSString(string: userText) if txt.length > 0 { newText = txt.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: text) } } else { newText = userText + text } return newText.count <= MAX_LENGTH } }

Swift 4.2和UITextFieldDelegate方法

这适用于我和限制文本字段有一个最大输入8个字符。希望NSRange最终会改变为Range，但现在我很高兴使用NSString从NSRange创建一个范围涉及到处理另一个可选。

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    let text = textField.text ?? ""
    let nsString = text as NSString
    let newText = nsString.replacingCharacters(in: range, with: string)
    return newText.count <= 8
}

谢谢你奥古斯特!(Post)

这是我最终得到的代码:

#define MAX_LENGTH 20

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string
{
    if (textField.text.length >= MAX_LENGTH && range.length == 0)
    {
        return NO; // return NO to not change text
    }
    else
    {return YES;}
}

这是处理UITextField最大长度的正确方法，它允许返回键退出辞职文本字段作为第一响应器，并让用户在达到限制时退格

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
int MAX_LENGHT = 5;
    if([string isEqualToString:@"\n"])
    {
        [textField resignFirstResponder];
        return FALSE;
    }
    else if(textField.text.length > MAX_LENGHT-1)
    {
        if([string isEqualToString:@""] && range.length == 1)
        {
            return TRUE;
        }
        else
        {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return TRUE;
    }
}

这个简单的方法怎么样?它对我来说很好。

extension UITextField {

    func  charactersLimit(to:Int) {

        if (self.text!.count > to) {
            self.deleteBackward()
        }
    }
}

然后:

someTextField.charactersLimit(to:16)
