## IQKeyboardManager Objective-C version source code is moved to https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManagerObjC
## Introduction
While developing iOS apps, we often run into issues where the iPhone keyboard slides up and covers the `UITextField/UITextView`. `IQKeyboardManager` allows you to prevent this issue of keyboard sliding up and covering `UITextField/UITextView` without needing you to write any code or make any additional setup. To use `IQKeyboardManager` you simply need to add source files to your project.
## Key Features
1. **One Line of Code** - Just enable and it works
2. **Works Automatically** - No manual setup required
3. **No More UIScrollView** - Automatically handles scroll views
4. **No More Subclasses** - Works with standard UIKit components
5. **No More Manual Work** - Handles all edge cases automatically
6. **Modular Architecture** - Include only what you need via subspecs
### What's Included
- ✅ Automatic keyboard avoidance for UITextField/UITextView
- ✅ Support for UIScrollView, UITableView, UICollectionView
- ✅ All interface orientations
- ✅ Configurable keyboard distance
- ✅ Class-level enable/disable control
### Optional Features (via Subspecs)
- 📦 Toolbar with Previous/Next/Done buttons
- 📦 Return key handling customization
- 📦 Tap-to-resign keyboard
- 📦 Keyboard appearance configuration
- 📦 UITextView with placeholder supportv
## Subspecs
Now IQKeyboardManagerSwift uses a modular architecture with subspecs.
By default, all subspecs are included, but you can include only what you need:
### Available Subspecs
- **Core** (always included): Basic keyboard distance management
- **Appearance**: Keyboard appearance configuration
- **IQKeyboardReturnManager**: Return key handling
- **IQKeyboardToolbarManager**: Toolbar functionality (Previous/Next/Done buttons)
- **IQTextView**: UITextView with placeholder support
- **Resign**: Tap-to-resign keyboard functionality
### Including Specific Subspecs
```ruby
# Include toolbar example
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift/IQKeyboardToolbarManager'
```

## Warning
- **If you're planning to build SDK/library/framework and want to handle UITextField/UITextView with IQKeyboardManager then you're totally going the wrong way.** I would never suggest to add **IQKeyboardManager** as **dependency/adding/shipping** with any third-party library. Instead of adding **IQKeyboardManager** you should implement your own solution to achieve same kind of results. **IQKeyboardManager** is totally designed for projects to help developers for their convenience, it's not designed for **adding/dependency/shipping** with any **third-party library**, because **doing this could block adoption by other developers for their projects as well (who are not using IQKeyboardManager and have implemented their custom solution to handle UITextField/UITextView in the project).**
- If **IQKeyboardManager** conflicts with other **third-party library**, then it's **developer responsibility** to **enable/disable IQKeyboardManager** when **presenting/dismissing** third-party library UI. Third-party libraries are not responsible to handle IQKeyboardManager.

Installation
==========================
#### CocoaPods
To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile: ([#236](https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager/issues/236))
```ruby
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift'
```
*Or you can choose the version you need based on Swift support table from [Requirements](README.md#requirements)*
```ruby
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', '8.0.0'
```
#### Carthage
To integrate `IQKeyboardManger` or `IQKeyboardManagerSwift` into your Xcode project using Carthage, add the following line to your `Cartfile`:
```ogdl
github "hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager"
```
Run `carthage update --use-xcframeworks` to build the frameworks and drag `IQKeyboardManagerSwift.xcframework` into your Xcode project based on your need. Make sure to add only one framework, not both.
#### Swift Package Manager (SPM)
To install `IQKeyboardManagerSwift` package via Xcode
* Go to File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency...
* Then search for https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager.git
* And choose the version you want
#### Source Code
***IQKeyboardManagerSwift:*** Source code installation is not supported (since 7.2.0) because now the library depends on some other independent libraries. Due to this you may face compilation issues.
#### Basic Usage
### Minimal Setup (Core Only)
In `AppDelegate.swift`, import and enable IQKeyboardManager:
```swift
import IQKeyboardManagerSwift
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Enable keyboard management
IQKeyboardManager.shared.isEnabled = true
return true
}
}
```
That's it! The keyboard will now automatically adjust to avoid covering text fields.
### With Toolbar (Requires IQKeyboardToolbarManager Subspec)
```swift
import IQKeyboardManagerSwift
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Enable keyboard management
IQKeyboardManager.shared.isEnabled = true
// Enable toolbar (@Deprecated: Please use IQKeyboardToolbarManager pod independently)
IQKeyboardManager.shared.enableAutoToolbar = true
return true
}
```
### With All Features
```swift
import IQKeyboardManagerSwift
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Core functionality
IQKeyboardManager.shared.isEnabled = true
IQKeyboardManager.shared.keyboardDistance = 20.0
// Toolbar (if using IQKeyboardToolbarManager subspec)
IQKeyboardManager.shared.enableAutoToolbar = true
// Tap to resign (if using Resign subspec)
IQKeyboardManager.shared.resignOnTouchOutside = true
// Appearance (if using Appearance subspec)
IQKeyboardManager.shared.keyboardConfiguration.overrideKeyboardAppearance = true
IQKeyboardManager.shared.keyboardConfiguration.keyboardAppearance = .dark
return true
}
```
