ios - Create space at the beginning of a UITextField -

i want leave bit of space @ beginning of uitextfield, here: add lefthand margin uitextfield

but don't know how swift.

this using right now:

class textfield: uitextfield {      let padding = uiedgeinsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5);      override func textrectforbounds(bounds: cgrect) -> cgrect {        return uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, padding)     }      override func placeholderrectforbounds(bounds: cgrect) -> cgrect {        return uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, padding)     }      override func editingrectforbounds(bounds: cgrect) -> cgrect {        return uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, padding)     } } 

for swift 3:

class textfield: uitextfield {      let padding = uiedgeinsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5);      override func textrect(forbounds bounds: cgrect) -> cgrect {         return uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, padding)     }      override func placeholderrect(forbounds bounds: cgrect) -> cgrect {         return uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, padding)     }      override func editingrect(forbounds bounds: cgrect) -> cgrect {         return uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, padding)     } } 

i never set other padding can tweak. class doesn't take care of rightview , leftview on textfield. if want handle correctly can use (example in objc , needed rightview:

- (cgrect)textrectforbounds:(cgrect)bounds {     cgrect paddedrect = uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, self.insets);      if (self.rightviewmode == uitextfieldviewmodealways || self.rightviewmode == uitextfieldviewmodeunlessediting) {         return [self adjustrectwithwidthrightview:paddedrect];     }     return paddedrect; }  - (cgrect)placeholderrectforbounds:(cgrect)bounds {     cgrect paddedrect = uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, self.insets);      if (self.rightviewmode == uitextfieldviewmodealways || self.rightviewmode == uitextfieldviewmodeunlessediting) {         return [self adjustrectwithwidthrightview:paddedrect];     }     return paddedrect; }  - (cgrect)editingrectforbounds:(cgrect)bounds {     cgrect paddedrect = uiedgeinsetsinsetrect(bounds, self.insets);      if (self.rightviewmode == uitextfieldviewmodealways || self.rightviewmode == uitextfieldviewmodewhileediting) {         return [self adjustrectwithwidthrightview:paddedrect];     }     return paddedrect; }  - (cgrect)adjustrectwithwidthrightview:(cgrect)bounds {     cgrect paddedrect = bounds;     paddedrect.size.width -= cgrectgetwidth(self.rightview.frame);      return paddedrect; }
