------------------------------



An elegant solution for keeping any UIView visible when the keyboard is being shown



![alt demo](https://github.com/IdleHandsApps/IHKeyboardAvoiding/blob/gh-pages/IHKeyboardAvoidingDemo.gif)



## Requirements



|                  |  IHKeyboardAvoiding Version  |

|------------------|--------------------|

|    Objective C   |        2.6.0       |

|       Swift      |        3.0.0 +     |



## Description



IHKeyboardAvoiding will translate any UIView up when the keyboard is being shown, then return it when the keyboard is hidden.  



Register an ```avoidingView```(UIView) with IHKeyboardAvoiding; when the keyboard is shown, if  the ```avoidingView's``` frame will be intersected by the keyboard, then it will move up just above the keyboard. When the keyboard is dismissed, the ```avoidingView``` is returned to its original position.



What sets IHKeyboardAvoiding apart from other keyboard avoiding solutions is that it doesn't require placing your content in a UIScrollView.  No scroll view is used. And it isn't restricted to keeping UITextFields visible, with IHKeyboardAvoiding any UIView can avoid the keyboard



If Autolayout is used then the constraints are animated, otherwise a CGAffine translation is done.



## Supported Features



* iPhone keyboard

* iPad docked keyboard

* iPad undocked keyboard

* iPad split keyboard

* landscape & protrait

* 3rd party keyboards

* Auto Layout

* AutoResizingMask (Springs & Struts)



## How to install



Add this to your CocoaPods Podfile.

```

pod 'IHKeyboardAvoiding'

```



## How to use



To set the avoiding view

```swift

KeyboardAvoiding.avoidingView = self.avoidingView

```



Put it in ```viewDidLoad()``` or ```viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool)``` depending on your usage



If you're unsure put it in ```viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool)```



If you need to set the avoidingView, or its properites, dynamically consider putting it in ```textViewShouldBeginEditing(_ textView: UITextView)```



Optional methods    

```KeyboardAvoiding.setAvoidingView(self.avoidingView, withTriggerView: self.triggerView)``` Use this to set an avoidingView but have a different view that triggers the avoiding. If a triggerView's frame will be intersected by the keyboard, then the avoidingView will be moved so that the triggerView is above the keyboard

```KeyboardAvoiding.buffer``` The avoidingView will move if the keyboard is within ```buffer``` points of the triggerView's frame.  Default buffer is 0  

```KeyboardAvoiding.paddingForCurrentAvoidingView``` The padding to put between the keyboard and triggerView.  Default padding is 0



Enable tap to dismiss the keyboard by simply changing any UIView to be an instance of KeyboardDismissingView in you nib/storyboard

## IHKeyboardAvoiding vs UIScrollView solutions - Fight, fight!

UIScrollView pros:

* They're quick n easy



IHKeyboardAvoiding pros:

* You dont have scrollviews littered throughout your app

* Having multiple scrollviews in your view heirarchy can cause problems

* When the keyboard hides, scrollviews dont always scroll back to their original position

* Scrollviews only scroll enough to keep the focused textfield visible

* IHKeyboardAvoiding provides control over which UIViews are visible when the keyboard appears
