Swift 3 версия
В настоящее время принят подход к ответу:
func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
// Get invalid characters
let invalidChars = NSCharacterSet.alphanumerics.inverted
// Attempt to find the range of invalid characters in the input string. This returns an optional.
let range = string.rangeOfCharacter(from: invalidChars)
if range != nil {
// We have found an invalid character, don't allow the change
return false
} else {
// No invalid character, allow the change
return true
}
}
Еще один такой же функциональный подход:
func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
// Get invalid characters
let invalidChars = NSCharacterSet.alphanumerics.inverted
// Make new string with invalid characters trimmed
let newString = string.trimmingCharacters(in: invalidChars)
if newString.characters.count < string.characters.count {
// If there are less characters than we started with after trimming
// this means there was an invalid character in the input.
// Don't let the change go through
return false
} else {
// Otherwise let the change go through
return true
}
}
