通常您有多个长度不同的输入字段。

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {
    int allowedLength;
    switch(textField.tag) {
        case 1: 
            allowedLength = MAXLENGTHNAME;      // triggered for input fields with tag = 1
            break;
        case 2:
            allowedLength = MAXLENGTHADDRESS;   // triggered for input fields with tag = 2
            break;
        default:
            allowedLength = MAXLENGTHDEFAULT;   // length default when no tag (=0) value =255
            break;
    }

    if (textField.text.length >= allowedLength && range.length == 0) {
        return NO; // Change not allowed
    } else {
        return YES; // Change allowed
    }
}

我已经实现了一个UITextField扩展，以添加一个maxLength属性。

它基于Xcode 6 IBInspectables，所以你可以在接口构建器上设置maxLength限制。

实现如下:

UITextField + MaxLength。h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UITextField_MaxLength : UITextField<UITextFieldDelegate>

@property (nonatomic)IBInspectable int textMaxLength;
@end

UITextField + MaxLength。m

#import "UITextField+MaxLength.h"

@interface UITextField_MaxLength()

@property (nonatomic, assign) id <UITextFieldDelegate> superDelegate;

@end

@implementation UITextField_MaxLength

- (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *) textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range replacementString:(NSString *)string {

    //validate the length, only if it's set to a non zero value
    if (self.textMaxLength>0) {
        if(range.length + range.location > textField.text.length)
            return NO;

        if (textField.text.length+string.length - range.length>self.textMaxLength) {
            return NO;
        }
    }

    //if length validation was passed, query the super class to see if the delegate method is implemented there
    if (self.superDelegate && [self.superDelegate respondsToSelector:@selector(textField:shouldChangeCharactersInRange:replacementString:)]) {
        return [self.superDelegate textField:textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:range replacementString:string];
    }
    else{
        //if the super class does not implement the delegate method, simply return YES as the length validation was passed
        return YES;
    }
}

- (void)setDelegate:(id<UITextFieldDelegate>)delegate {
    if (delegate == self)
        return;
    self.superDelegate = delegate;
    [super setDelegate:self];
}

//forward all non overriden delegate methods
- (id)forwardingTargetForSelector:(SEL)aSelector {
    if ([self.superDelegate  respondsToSelector:aSelector])
        return self.superDelegate;

    return [super forwardingTargetForSelector:aSelector];
}

- (BOOL)respondsToSelector:(SEL)aSelector {
    if ([self.superDelegate respondsToSelector:aSelector])
        return YES;

    return [super respondsToSelector:aSelector];
}
@end

适用于Swift 3.1或更高版本

首先添加协议UITextFieldDelegate

如:-

class PinCodeViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate { 
.....
.....
.....

}

之后创建你的UITextField并设置委托

完成经验:-

import UIKit

class PinCodeViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

let pinCodetextField: UITextField = {
    let tf = UITextField()
    tf.placeholder = "please enter your pincode"
    tf.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 15)
    tf.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyle.roundedRect
    tf.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionType.no
    tf.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.numberPad
    tf.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewMode.whileEditing;
    tf.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignment.center
 return tf
  }()


 override func viewDidLoad() {
   super.viewDidLoad()
   view.addSubview(pinCodetextField)
    //----- setup your textfield anchor or position where you want to show it----- 


    // after that 
pinCodetextField.delegate = self // setting the delegate

 }
func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
    return !(textField.text?.characters.count == 6 && string != "")
     } // this is return the maximum characters in textfield 
    }

现在你想要多少字符，只要给值就行了

 - (BOOL)textField:(UITextField *)textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange:(NSRange)range   replacementString:(NSString *)string {
     NSUInteger newLength = [textField.text length] + [string length] - range.length;
     return (newLength > 25) ? NO : YES;
  }

使用接口构建器，您可以在任何函数中链接并获得“编辑更改”的事件。 现在你可以检查长度

- (IBAction)onValueChange:(id)sender 
{
    NSString *text = nil;
    int MAX_LENGTH = 20;
    switch ([sender tag] ) 
    {
        case 1: 
        {
            text = myEditField.text;
            if (MAX_LENGTH < [text length]) {
                myEditField.text = [text substringToIndex:MAX_LENGTH];
            }
        }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

}

Swift 5

添加UITextfield的扩展，然后选择一个文本字段并检查属性检查器

private var __maxLengths = [UITextField: Int]()

extension UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var maxLength: Int {
        get {
            guard let l = __maxLengths[self] else {
               return 150 // (default int limit)
            }
            return l
        }
        set {
            __maxLengths[self] = newValue
            addTarget(self, action: #selector(setMaxLength), for: .editingChanged)
        }
    }

    @objc func setMaxLength(textField: UITextField) {
        let t = textField.text
        textField.text = t?.prefix(maxLength).description
    }
}
