A small Objective-C/Swift library that adds a missing placeholder property to UITextView on iOS. It supports plain text, custom placeholder color, and attributed placeholders, installed via Swift Package Manager.
Use cases
- add placeholder text to a UITextView
- show hint text in a multiline text input
- customize placeholder color in a text view
- use attributed placeholder styling in UITextView
- avoid writing custom placeholder logic for text views
When to choose
- you need UITextView placeholder support in an iOS app with minimal setup
- you want a lightweight, battle-tested category/extension instead of a custom subclass
- you install dependencies via Swift Package Manager
When to avoid
- you use SwiftUI instead of UIKit
- you need CocoaPods support, which has been removed
- you already use a larger UI component library that includes placeholder text views
