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

斯威夫特

 class TextField: UITextField {

    let inset: CGFloat = 8

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

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

你必须子类化是荒谬的，因为UITextField已经实现了方法，就像@Adam Waite指出的那样。下面是一个快速扩展，它公开了一个工厂方法，也可以在我们的categories repo中使用:

private class InsetTextField: UITextField {
    var insets: UIEdgeInsets

    init(insets: UIEdgeInsets) {
        self.insets = insets
        super.init(frame: CGRectZero)
    }

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("not intended for use from a NIB")
    }

    // placeholder position
    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return super.textRectForBounds(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, insets))
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return super.editingRectForBounds(UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(bounds, insets))
    }
}

extension UITextField {

    class func textFieldWithInsets(insets: UIEdgeInsets) -> UITextField {
        return InsetTextField(insets: insets)
    }

}

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);
            }
        }
}

下面是一个全面的Swift答案，包括一个leftView(自定义图标)和一个自定义清除按钮，两者都设置在界面生成器中，具有可定制的insets。

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class InsetTextField: UITextField {
@IBInspectable var leftInset:CGFloat = 0
@IBInspectable var rightInset:CGFloat = 0
@IBInspectable var icon:UIImage? { didSet {
    let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 16, height: 16))
    imageView.image = icon
    self.leftView = imageView
    self.leftViewMode = .Always
} }

@IBInspectable var clearButton:UIImage? { didSet {
    let button = UIButton(type: .Custom)
    button.setImage(clearButton, forState: .Normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action: "clear", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 18, height: 18)
    self.rightView = button
    self.rightViewMode = .WhileEditing
} }

func clear() {
    self.text = ""
}

override func leftViewRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var height:CGFloat = 0
    var width:CGFloat = 0
    if let leftView = self.leftView {
        height = leftView.bounds.height
        width = leftView.bounds.width
    }

    return CGRect(x: leftInset, y: bounds.height/2 - height/2, width: width, height: height)
}

override func rightViewRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var height:CGFloat = 0
    var width:CGFloat = 0
    if let rightView = self.rightView {
        height = rightView.bounds.height
        width = rightView.bounds.width
    }

    return CGRect(x: bounds.width - width - rightInset, y: bounds.height/2 - height/2, width: width, height: height)
}

}

Swift 3 /可在界面构建器中设计/单独的水平和垂直昆虫/可用

@IBDesignable
class TextFieldWithPadding: UITextField {

@IBInspectable var horizontalInset: CGFloat = 0
@IBInspectable var verticalInset: CGFloat = 0

override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return bounds.insetBy(dx: horizontalInset, dy: verticalInset)
}

override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return bounds.insetBy(dx: horizontalInset , dy: verticalInset)
}

override func placeholderRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return bounds.insetBy(dx: horizontalInset, dy: verticalInset)
}
}

用法:
