Change of UITextField placeholder color

Question

How to dynamically change placeholder color of the UITextField? This is always the same system color.

No option in xib editor.

Answer 1

First add this extension

extension UITextField{
    @IBInspectable var placeHolderTextColor: UIColor? {
        set {
            let placeholderText = self.placeholder != nil ? self.placeholder! : ""
            attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string:placeholderText, attributes:[NSForegroundColorAttributeName: newValue!])
        }
        get{
            return self.placeHolderTextColor
        }
    }
}

Then you can change placeholder text color via storyboard or by just setting it like this :

textfield.placeHolderTextColor = UIColor.red
