这是我发现的最快的方法，不需要做任何子类:

UIView *spacerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10., 10.)];
[textField setLeftViewMode:UITextFieldViewModeAlways];
[textField setLeftView:spacerView];

迅速:

let spacerView = UIView(frame:CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:10, height:10))
textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always
textField.leftView = spacerView

我想我可以提供一个快速解决方案

import UIKit

class TextField: UITextField {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , inset , inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , inset , inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, inset, inset) 
    }
}

斯威夫特 3+

import UIKit

class TextField: UITextField {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset , dy: self.inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset , dy: self.inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset, dy: self.inset)
    }
}

在从UITextField派生的类中，至少重写以下两个方法:

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;

如果你没有额外的内容，它可能就像这样简单:

return CGRectInset(bounds , 10, 10);

UITextField提供了几个可以覆盖的定位方法。

抛出另一个不需要子类化的解决方案:

UITextField *txtField = [UITextField new];
txtField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;

// grab BG layer
CALayer *bgLayer = txtField.layer.sublayers.lastObject;
bgLayer.opacity = 0.f;

// add new bg view
UIView *bgView = [UIView new];
bgView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
bgView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
bgView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

[txtField addSubview: bgView];
[txtField sendSubviewToBack: bgView];

在iOS 7和iOS 8上测试。这两个工作。苹果仍然有可能修改UITextField的层层次结构，把事情搞砸了。

This is not as short as the other examples, but takes an entirely different approach to solving this problem. Note, the caret will still begin flush to the left edge but the text will be properly indented when typed/displayed. This works without subclassing if your looking for just a left margin and you are already using UITextFieldDelegate for your text fields. You need to set both the default text attributes and the typing attributes. You set the default text attributes when you create the text field. The typing attributes you need to set in the delegate. If you are also using a placeholder you will want to set that to the same margin as well. Putting it altogether you get something like this.

首先在UITextField类上创建一个类别。

//  UITextField+TextAttributes.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UITextField (TextAttributes)

- (void)setIndent:(CGFloat)indent;

@end


//  UITextField+TextAttributes.m
#import "UITextField+TextAttributes.h"

@implementation UITextField (TextAttributes)

- (void)setTextAttributes:(NSDictionary*)textAttributes indent:(CGFloat)indent
{
    if (!textAttributes) return;

    NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [textAttributes objectForKey:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName];
    paragraphStyle.firstLineHeadIndent = indent;
    paragraphStyle.headIndent = indent;
}

- (void)setIndent:(CGFloat)indent
{
   [self setTextAttributes:self.defaultTextAttributes indent:indent];
   [self setTextAttributes:self.typingAttributes indent:indent];
}

@end

然后，如果您使用放置占位符，请确保使用带有属性的占位符设置相同的缩进。创建一个具有正确属性的默认属性字典，如下所示:

NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragraphStyle.firstLineHeadIndent = 7;
paragraphStyle.headIndent = 7;
NSDictionary *placeholderAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: paragraphStyle, NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, nil];

然后，导入上述类别，每当你创建一个文本字段设置默认缩进，委托和使用默认占位符属性上面定义。例如:

UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
textField.indent = 7;
textField.delegate = self;
textField.attributedPlaceholder = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"Placeholder Text" attributes:placeholderAttributes];

最后，在委托中，实现textFieldDidBeginEditing方法，就像这样:

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    textField.indent = 7;
}

快速解决没有子类&也检查

extension UITextField {
    @IBInspectable var textInsets: CGPoint {
            get {
                return CGPoint.zero
            }
            set {
                layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(newValue.x, newValue.y, 0);
            }
        }
}
