How can I add an inset to the text and placeholder in PhoneNumberTextField

I need to use a textfield to havet he user type in phone numbers so I'm using the PhoneNumberTextField from the project PhoneNumberKit.

By default it's just a borderless textfield. I modified it by adding a border with a corner radius and a UIButton added to its leftView. The problem with that is the text/placeholder is shown right up against the border.

I tried subclassing PhoneNumberTextField and adding the text inset capability like this.

@IBDesignable
class CNPhoneNumberTextField: PhoneNumberTextField {
    @IBInspectable var inset: CGFloat = 0

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }

    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }
}

The issue here is it doesn't take the leftView into account now. The text/placeholder is partially covered by the leftView.

Is there any other way to fix this?

You need to update your CNPhoneNumberTextField class like shown below where you can give leftPadding for your textField from storyboard.

Your class will look like:

import UIKit
import PhoneNumberKit

@IBDesignable
class CNPhoneNumberTextField: PhoneNumberTextField {

    @IBInspectable var leftPadding: CGFloat = 0

    override open func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {

        let padding = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: leftPadding, bottom: 0, right: 0)
        return bounds.inset(by: padding)
    }

    override open func placeholderRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {

        let padding = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: leftPadding, bottom: 0, right: 0)
        return bounds.inset(by: padding)
    }

    override open func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {

        let padding = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: leftPadding, bottom: 0, right: 0)
        return bounds.inset(by: padding)
    }
}

And from storyboard with Attribute inspector section you can assign left padding like:

And your result will be:

You could probably add some padding like this:

override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var rect = super.textRect(forBounds: bounds)
    rect.origin.x += 10
    return rect
}
