由于声誉问题，我不能发表评论。在@clearlight answer中增加一个委托需求。

func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) { 
        cell.placeholderLabel.isHidden = !textView.text.isEmpty
}

是需要

因为textViewDidChange不是第一次被调用

以下是我解决这个问题的方法(Swift 4):

这个想法是做出最简单的解决方案，允许使用不同颜色的占位符，调整占位符大小，不会覆盖委托，同时保持所有UITextView函数正常工作。

import UIKit

class PlaceholderTextView: UITextView {
    var placeholderColor: UIColor = .lightGray
    var defaultTextColor: UIColor = .black

    private var isShowingPlaceholder = false {
        didSet {
            if isShowingPlaceholder {
                text = placeholder
                textColor = placeholderColor
            } else {
                textColor = defaultTextColor
            }
        }
    }

    var placeholder: String? {
        didSet {
            isShowingPlaceholder = !hasText
        }
    }

    @objc private func textViewDidBeginEditing(notification: Notification) {
        textColor = defaultTextColor
        if isShowingPlaceholder { text = nil }
    }

    @objc private func textViewDidEndEditing(notification: Notification) {
        isShowingPlaceholder = !hasText
    }

    // MARK: - Construction -
    override init(frame: CGRect, textContainer: NSTextContainer?) {
        super.init(frame: frame, textContainer: textContainer)
        setup()
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        setup()
    }

    private func setup() {
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(textViewDidBeginEditing(notification:)), name: UITextView.textDidBeginEditingNotification, object: nil)
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(textViewDidEndEditing(notification:)), name: UITextView.textDidEndEditingNotification, object: nil)
    }

    // MARK: - Destruction -
    deinit { NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self) }
}

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。

斯威夫特5:

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。

迅速:

以编程方式或通过Interface Builder添加你的文本视图，如果是最后一个，创建outlet:

@IBOutlet weak var yourTextView: UITextView!

请添加委托(UITextViewDelegate):

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {

在viewDidLoad方法中，添加如下内容:

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    yourTextView.delegate = self
    yourTextView.text = "Placeholder text goes right here..."
    yourTextView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray

现在让我来介绍一下神奇的部分，添加这个函数:

func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {

    if yourTextView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray {
        yourTextView.text = ""
        yourTextView.textColor = UIColor.black
    }
}

请注意，这将在编辑开始时执行，在那里我们将检查条件来告知状态，使用color属性。 设置文本为nil我不建议。在此之后，我们将文本颜色设置为所需的颜色，在本例中为黑色。

现在也添加这个函数:

func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {

    if yourTextView.text == "" {

        yourTextView.text = "Placeholder text ..."
        yourTextView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
    }
}

让我坚持一下，不要与零进行比较，我已经试过了，它不会起作用。然后我们将值设置回占位符样式，并将颜色设置回占位符颜色，因为这是在textViewDidBeginEditing中检查的条件。
