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;
}

解决方案:实际有效且适用于所有情况的解决方案:

应该使用offsetBy而不是insetBy。 也应该调用超函数来获取原始的Rect。 Bounds故障。你需要抵消原来的X, Y，边界有X, Y为零。 原始的x, y可以是非零，例如当设置UITextField的leftView时。

示例:

override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return super.textRect(forBounds: bounds).offsetBy(dx: 0.0, dy: 4)
}


override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return super.editingRect(forBounds: bounds).offsetBy(dx: 0.0, dy: 4)
}

为UITextField添加填充的一个好方法是子类化UITextField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 = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0);
    }
    return self;
}

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder{
    self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
    if(self){
        self.edgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0);
    }
    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

如果你有一个明确的按钮，接受的答案将不适合你。我们还应该警惕苹果在未来通过调用super来改变事情。

因此，为了确保文本不会与清除按钮重叠，让我们先从super中获取“默认”值，然后根据需要进行调整。

这段代码将在文本框的顶部、左侧和底部添加一个10px的insets:

@interface InsetTextField : UITextField

@end


@implementation InsetTextField

// Placeholder position
- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect rect = [super textRectForBounds:bounds];
    UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 0);

    return UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets);
}

// Text position
- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect rect = [super editingRectForBounds:bounds];
    UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 0);

    return UIEdgeInsetsInsetRect(rect, insets);
}

// Clear button position
- (CGRect)clearButtonRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect rect = [super clearButtonRectForBounds:bounds];

    return CGRectOffset(rect, -5, 0);
}

@end

注意:UIEdgeInsetsMake接受参数的顺序是:上，左，下，右。

如果你想改变TOP和LEFT缩进只有这样

//占位符

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {

CGRect frame = bounds;
frame.origin.y = 3;
 frame.origin.x = 5;
bounds = frame;
return CGRectInset( bounds , 0 , 0 );
}

//文本位置

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {

CGRect frame = bounds;
frame.origin.y = 3;
 frame.origin.x = 5;
bounds = frame;
return CGRectInset( bounds , 0 , 0 );
}

你可以通过设置leftView来设置UITextField的文本插入。

是这样的:

UITextField *yourTextField = [[UITextField alloc] init];
UIView *leftView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 5, 5)];
leftView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
yourTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
yourTextField.leftView = leftView;
