KeyboardHelper

No more checking for keyboard notifications and parsing keyboard apperance info manually!

A small (but cool) tool for handling UIKeyboard appearing and disappearing in your view controllers.

🔧 Setup

Implement KeyboardHelperDelegate in your UIViewController.

class ViewController:UIViewController,KeyboardHelperDelegate

Add a KeyboardHelper private variable, initialize it and set the delegate.

privatevarkeyboardHelper:KeyboardHelper?func viewDidLoad(){...self.keyboardHelper =KeyboardHelper(delegate:self)...}

Implement the two methods in the KeyboardHelperDelegate:

publicfunc keyboardWillAppear(_ info:KeyboardHelper.KeyboardAppearanceInfo)
public func keyboardWillDisappear(_ info:KeyboardHelper.KeyboardAppearanceInfo)

Both methods take as argument a KeyboardAppearanceInfo object, which is basically a wrapper over the userInfo dictionary of the UIKeyboardWillShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillHideNotification notifications.

One example of implementation for the two delegate methods is:

func keyboardWillAppear(_ info:KeyboardAppearanceInfo){UIView.animate(withDuration:TimeInterval(info.animationDuration),
delay:0,
options: info.animationOptions,
animations:{letinsets=UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0, info.endFrame.size.height,0)self.scrollView.contentInset = insets
self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = insets
},
completion:nil)}func keyboardWillDisappear(_ info:KeyboardAppearanceInfo){UIView.animate(withDuration:TimeInterval(info.animationDuration),
delay:0,
options: info.animationOptions,
animations:{letinsets= UIEdgeInsetsZero
self.scrollView.contentInset = insets
self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = insets
},
completion:nil)}

The KeyboardAppearanceInfo object has the following properties:

• beginFrame: a CGRect corresponding to the value for UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey
• endFrame : a CGRect corresponding to the value for UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey
• belongsToCurrentApp : a Bool corresponding to the value for UIKeyboardIsLocalUserInfoKey
• animationDuration : a Double corresponding to the value for UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey
• animationCurve : a UIViewAnimationCurve corresponding to the value for UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey
• animationOptions : a UIViewAnimationOptions from the value of UIKeyboardAnimationCurveUserInfoKey

KeyboardAppearanceInfo also has the convenience method animateAlong:completion:, which can be used like this:

func keyboardWillAppear(info:KeyboardAppearanceInfo){
info.animateAlong({()->Voidinletinsets=UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0, info.endFrame.size.height,0)self.scrollView.contentInset = insets
self.scrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = insets
}){ finished in}

to get the same effect as the initial keyboardWillAppear: implementation example above.
