Question 1

How do I install iTextField in a SwiftUI project?

Accepted Answer

Use Swift Package Manager by adding the GitHub package URL. The README links to an INSTALL.md file with step-by-step instructions, including adding the import and basic usage.

Question 2

iTextField or SwiftUI TextField: which is better for forms?

Accepted Answer

iTextField is better if you need advanced features like programmatic focus jumping or specific keyboard types. For simple inputs, SwiftUI's native TextField is lighter and more integrated with SwiftUI updates.

Question 3

How to customize the keyboard type with iTextField?

Accepted Answer

Use the .keyboardType() modifier with UIKeyboardType options, such as .URL or .emailAddress, as shown in the starter example to match input requirements precisely.

Question 4

Can iTextField handle secure text entry for passwords?

Accepted Answer

Yes, apply the .isSecure(true) modifier to hide input, and optionally use .passwordRules() for security enhancements, making it suitable for login screens.

Question 5

How to programmatically focus an iTextField?

Accepted Answer

Pass a boolean state variable as the isEditing binding and set it to true. Combine with event handlers like onReturn to switch focus between fields, as demonstrated in the jump example.

Question 6

Is iTextField compatible with the latest SwiftUI versions?

Accepted Answer

It wraps UITextField, so compatibility depends on UIKit and SwiftUI interoperability. Check the package for updates, as bridging might require adjustments with new SwiftUI releases.
