Swift 4、4.2和5

[![@IBOutlet var detailTextView: UITextView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        detailTextView.delegate = self
}

extension ContactUsViewController : UITextViewDelegate {

    public func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.text == "Write your message here..." {
            detailTextView.text = ""
            detailTextView.textColor = UIColor.init(red: 0/255, green: 0/255, blue: 0/255, alpha: 0.86)

        }
        textView.becomeFirstResponder()
    }

    public func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {

        if textView.text == "" {
            detailTextView.text = "Write your message here..."
            detailTextView.textColor = UIColor.init(red: 0/255, green: 0/255, blue: 0/255, alpha: 0.30)
        }
        textView.resignFirstResponder()
    }

还有一个解决方案(Swift 3):

import UIKit

protocol PlaceholderTextViewDelegate {
    func placeholderTextViewDidChangeText(_ text:String)
    func placeholderTextViewDidEndEditing(_ text:String)
}

final class PlaceholderTextView: UITextView {

    var notifier:PlaceholderTextViewDelegate?

    var placeholder: String? {
        didSet {
            placeholderLabel?.text = placeholder
        }
    }
    var placeholderColor = UIColor.lightGray
    var placeholderFont = UIFont.appMainFontForSize(14.0) {
        didSet {
            placeholderLabel?.font = placeholderFont
        }
    }

    fileprivate var placeholderLabel: UILabel?

    // MARK: - LifeCycle

    init() {
        super.init(frame: CGRect.zero, textContainer: nil)
        awakeFromNib()
    }

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

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()

        self.delegate = self
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(PlaceholderTextView.textDidChangeHandler(notification:)), name: .UITextViewTextDidChange, object: nil)

        placeholderLabel = UILabel()
        placeholderLabel?.textColor = placeholderColor
        placeholderLabel?.text = placeholder
        placeholderLabel?.textAlignment = .left
        placeholderLabel?.numberOfLines = 0
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        placeholderLabel?.font = placeholderFont

        var height:CGFloat = placeholderFont.lineHeight
        if let data = placeholderLabel?.text {

            let expectedDefaultWidth:CGFloat = bounds.size.width
            let fontSize:CGFloat = placeholderFont.pointSize

            let textView = UITextView()
            textView.text = data
            textView.font = UIFont.appMainFontForSize(fontSize)
            let sizeForTextView = textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: expectedDefaultWidth,
                                                               height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
            let expectedTextViewHeight = sizeForTextView.height

            if expectedTextViewHeight > height {
                height = expectedTextViewHeight
            }
        }

        placeholderLabel?.frame = CGRect(x: 5, y: 0, width: bounds.size.width - 16, height: height)

        if text.isEmpty {
            addSubview(placeholderLabel!)
            bringSubview(toFront: placeholderLabel!)
        } else {
            placeholderLabel?.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }

    func textDidChangeHandler(notification: Notification) {
        layoutSubviews()
    }

}

extension PlaceholderTextView : UITextViewDelegate {
    // MARK: - UITextViewDelegate
    func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool {
        if(text == "\n") {
            textView.resignFirstResponder()
            return false
        }
        return true
    }

    func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        notifier?.placeholderTextViewDidChangeText(textView.text)
    }

    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        notifier?.placeholderTextViewDidEndEditing(textView.text)
    }
}

结果

协议版本的clearlight的答案上面，因为协议是伟大的。随便放哪都行。扣篮!

extension UITextViewPlaceholder where Self: UIViewController {

    // Use this in ViewController's ViewDidLoad method.
    func addPlaceholder(text: String, toTextView: UITextView, font: UIFont? = nil) {
        placeholderLabel = UILabel()
        placeholderLabel.text = text
        placeholderLabel.font = font ?? UIFont.italicSystemFont(ofSize: (toTextView.font?.pointSize)!)
        placeholderLabel.sizeToFit()
        toTextView.addSubview(placeholderLabel)
        placeholderLabel.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 5, y: (toTextView.font?.pointSize)! / 2)
        placeholderLabel.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        placeholderLabel.isHidden = !toTextView.text.isEmpty
    }

    // Use this function in the ViewController's textViewDidChange delegate method.
    func textViewWithPlaceholderDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        placeholderLabel.isHidden = !textView.text.isEmpty
    }
}

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
    }
}

与这篇文章中几乎所有的答案相反，UITextView确实有一个占位符属性。由于我无法理解的原因，它只在IB中出现，例如:

<userDefinedRuntimeAttributes>
  <userDefinedRuntimeAttribute type="string" keyPath="placeholder" value="My Placeholder"/>
</userDefinedRuntimeAttributes>

因此，如果你正在使用故事板，一个静态占位符就足够了，只需在检查器上设置属性。

你也可以像这样在代码中设置这个属性:

textView.setValue("My Placeholder", forKeyPath: "placeholder")

它的多云天气，这是通过私有API访问，因为属性是暴露的。

我还没有尝试过用这种方法提交。但我将很快以这种方式提交，并将相应地更新这个答案。

更新:

我已经在多个版本中发布了这个代码，苹果没有任何问题。

更新: 这将只适用于Xcode pre 11.2

这是一个Swiftui TextView使用UIVIewRepresentable，具有占位符功能和边界颜色

struct TextView: UIViewRepresentable {

@Binding var text: String
var placeholderText: String
var textStyle: UIFont.TextStyle

func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
    let textView = UITextView()

    textView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: textStyle)
    textView.autocapitalizationType = .sentences
    textView.isSelectable = true
    textView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    textView.delegate = context.coordinator
    textView.layer.borderWidth = 0.6
    textView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
    textView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
    textView.text = placeholderText
    textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
    return textView
}

func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) {
    uiView.text = text
    uiView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: textStyle)
}

func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
    Coordinator(self)
}
 
class Coordinator: NSObject, UITextViewDelegate {
    var parent: TextView
 
    init(_ parent: TextView) {
        self.parent = parent
    }
 
    func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
        self.parent.text = textView.text
    }
    
    func textViewDidBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.textColor == UIColor.lightGray {
            textView.text = nil
            textView.textColor = UIColor.black
        }
    }
    
    func textViewDidEndEditing(_ textView: UITextView) {
        if textView.text.isEmpty {
            textView.text = self.parent.placeholderText
            textView.textColor = UIColor.lightGray
        }
    }
}

}

然后在你的视图中你可以这样使用它

TextView(text: self.$viewModel.addPostCommentText, placeholderText: "Share your story about this cash", textStyle: .body)
                .padding()
                .frame(height: 150)
