这就是我所做的。倾向于代码清晰和简单。我需要添加一个textView，将获得一些额外的笔记在我的应用程序。这额外的笔记可以创建或保存后修改。见下文。HTH。：）

class NotesTextView: UITextView {

    var placeholder = "" {
        didSet {
            showPlaceholder()
        }
    }
    
    // if the text is the placeholder, then assign a color fitting for a
    // placeholder text, else, assign it your color of choice.
    override var text: String! {
        didSet {
            textColor = text == placeholder ? .tertiaryLabel : .systemBlue
        }
    }
    
    
    override init(frame: CGRect, textContainer: NSTextContainer?) {
        super.init(frame: frame, textContainer: textContainer)
        
        delegate = self
        //config your font and translateAutoResizingMaskIntoConstraints here
    }
    
    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
    
    private func showPlaceholder() {
        text = placeholder
    }
    
    private func hidePlaceholder() {
        text = ""
    }
}

extension NotesTextView: UITextViewDelegate {
    func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if text == placeholder {
            hidePlaceholder()
        }
    }
    
    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if text.isEmpty {
            showPlaceholder()
        }
    }
}

可能是UITextView占位符实现的最简单的开箱即用的解决方案，不会遭受:

使用UILabel而不是UITextView，这可能会有不同的表现 切换到和从占位符“UITextView”拷贝，将捕获第一个键入的字符将从主UITextView控件丢失 打乱主UITextView控件的文本内容，将占位符替换为空字符串或第一个键入的字符。边界情况是，如果用户输入占位符文本，一些建议的实现将把它作为一个占位符本身。

import UIKit
import SnapKit
import RxSwift
import RxCocoa

class TextAreaView: UIView {
    let textArea = UITextView()
    let textAreaPlaceholder = UITextView()
    
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        commonSetup()
    }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        commonSetup()
    }
    
    private func commonSetup() {
        
        addSubview(textAreaPlaceholder)
        addSubview(textArea)
        
        textArea.isScrollEnabled = false
        textArea.delegate = self

        textAreaPlaceholder.isScrollEnabled = false
        textAreaPlaceholder.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        
        textArea.snp.makeConstraints { make in
            make.top.bottom.leading.trailing.equalToSuperview()
        }

        textAreaPlaceholder.snp.makeConstraints { make in
            make.top.bottom.leading.trailing.equalTo(textArea.snp.top)
        }

        textAreaPlaceholder.text = "Placeholder"
        
        updatePlaceholder()
    }
    
    func updatePlaceholder() {
        if textArea.text.count > 0 {
            textArea.alpha = 1.0
        } else {
            textArea.alpha = 0.0
        }
    }
}

extension TextAreaView: UITextViewDelegate {
    func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        updatePlaceholder()
    }
}

这是我用来完成这项工作的方法。

@IBDesignable class UIPlaceholderTextView: UITextView {
    
    var placeholderLabel: UILabel?
    
    override init(frame: CGRect, textContainer: NSTextContainer?) {
        super.init(frame: frame, textContainer: textContainer)
        sharedInit()
    }
    
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        sharedInit()
    }
    
    override func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {
        sharedInit()
    }
    
    func sharedInit() {
        refreshPlaceholder()
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(textChanged), name: UITextView.textDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
    }

    @IBInspectable var placeholder: String? {
        didSet {
            refreshPlaceholder()
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var placeholderColor: UIColor? = .darkGray {
        didSet {
            refreshPlaceholder()
        }
    }
    
    @IBInspectable var placeholderFontSize: CGFloat = 14 {
        didSet {
            refreshPlaceholder()
        }
    }
    
    func refreshPlaceholder() {
        if placeholderLabel == nil {
            placeholderLabel = UILabel()
            let contentView = self.subviews.first ?? self
            
            contentView.addSubview(placeholderLabel!)
            placeholderLabel?.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
            
            placeholderLabel?.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.leftAnchor, constant: textContainerInset.left + 4).isActive = true
            placeholderLabel?.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.rightAnchor, constant: textContainerInset.right + 4).isActive = true
            placeholderLabel?.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: contentView.topAnchor, constant: textContainerInset.top).isActive = true
            placeholderLabel?.bottomAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: contentView.bottomAnchor, constant: textContainerInset.bottom).isActive = true
        }
        placeholderLabel?.text = placeholder
        placeholderLabel?.textColor = placeholderColor
        placeholderLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: placeholderFontSize)
    }
    
    @objc func textChanged() {
        if self.placeholder?.isEmpty ?? true {
            return
        }
        
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.25) {
            if self.text.isEmpty {
                self.placeholderLabel?.alpha = 1.0
            } else {
                self.placeholderLabel?.alpha = 0.0
            }
        }
    }
    
    override var text: String! {
        didSet {
            textChanged()
        }
    }

}

我知道有很多类似的方法，但这个方法的好处是:

在IB中设置占位符文本、字体大小和颜色。 在IB中不再显示“滚动视图有不明确的可滚动内容”的警告。 添加动画显示/隐藏占位符。

另一个解决方案是使用keyboardWillHide和keyboardWillShow通知，就像我做的那样。

首先，您需要分别处理viewWillAppear和viewWillAppear方法中的侦听和取消侦听通知(以处理内存泄漏)。

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    setupKeyboardNotificationListeners(enable: true)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    setupKeyboardNotificationListeners(enable: false)
}

然后是处理监听/取消监听通知的方法:

private func setupKeyboardNotificationListeners(enable: Bool) {
        if enable {
            NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillShow), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)
            NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.keyboardWillHide), name: NSNotification.Name.UIKeyboardWillHide, object: nil)
        } else {
            NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
        }
    }

然后在keyboardWillHide和keyboardWillShow的两个方法中，你处理文本的占位符和颜色变化。

@objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.textView.text == self.placeholder {
        self.textView.text = ""
        self.textView.textColor = .black
    }
}

@objc func keyboardWillHide(notification: NSNotification) {
    if self.textView.text.isEmpty {
        self.textView.text = self.placeholder
        self.textView.textColor = .lightGrey
    }
}

我发现这个解决方案是目前为止最好的，因为文本会在键盘出现时立即删除，而不是在用户开始输入时删除，这可能会导致混乱。

独立的类

如果你想要一个类，你可以在任何地方使用，因为它是自包含的

import UIKit
class PlaceHolderTextView:UITextView, UITextViewDelegate{
var placeholderText = "placeholderText"

override func willMove(toSuperview newSuperview: UIView?) {
    textColor = .lightText
    delegate = self
}

func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.text == placeholderText{
        placeholderText = textView.text
        textView.text = ""
        textView.textColor = .darkText
    }
}

func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
    if textView.text == ""{
        textView.text = placeholderText
        textColor = .lightText
    }
}    
}

这里的关键是willMove(toSuperView:)函数，因为它允许你在添加到另一个视图的层次结构之前设置视图(类似于ViewControllers中的viewDidLoad/viewWillAppear)

这是我准备使用的解决方案，如果您正在处理多个文本视图

func textViewShouldBeginEditing(textView: UITextView) -> Bool {        
    // Set cursor to the beginning if placeholder is set
    if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGrayColor() {
        textView.selectedTextRange = textView.textRangeFromPosition(textView.beginningOfDocument, toPosition: textView.beginningOfDocument)
    }

    return true
}

func textView(textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextInRange range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
    // Remove placeholder
    if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGrayColor() && text.characters.count > 0 {
        textView.text = ""
        textView.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    }

    if text == "\n" {
        textView.resignFirstResponder()
        return false
    }

    return true
}

func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
    // Set placeholder if text is empty
    if textView.text.isEmpty {
        textView.text = NSLocalizedString("Hint", comment: "hint")
        textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor()
        textView.selectedTextRange = textView.textRangeFromPosition(textView.beginningOfDocument, toPosition: textView.beginningOfDocument)
    }
}

func textViewDidChangeSelection(textView: UITextView) {
    // Set cursor to the beginning if placeholder is set
    let firstPosition = textView.textRangeFromPosition(textView.beginningOfDocument, toPosition: textView.beginningOfDocument)

    // Do not change position recursively
    if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGrayColor() && textView.selectedTextRange != firstPosition {
        textView.selectedTextRange = firstPosition
    }
}
