Padding in UITextfield in both left and right side iOS swift

 Problem:

I want to add padding in left and right side of uitextfield.

How to achieve that?

Solution:

extension UITextField {

    func setPadding() {

        self.setLeftPaddingPoints()

        self.setRightPaddingPoints()

    }

    

    func setLeftPaddingPoints(_ amount:CGFloat = 5){

        let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: amount, height: self.frame.size.height))

        self.leftView = paddingView

        self.leftViewMode = .always

    }

    

    func setRightPaddingPoints(_ amount:CGFloat = 5) {

        let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: amount, height: self.frame.size.height))

        self.rightView = paddingView

        self.rightViewMode = .always

    }

}

Then call the functions as like below.

        myTF.setPadding()
