While developing iOS apps, we often run into issues where the iPhone keyboard slides up and covers the `UITextField/UITextView`. `IQKeyboardManager` allows you to prevent this issue of keyboard sliding up and covering `UITextField/UITextView` without needing you to write any code or make any additional setup. To use `IQKeyboardManager` you simply need to add source files to your project.
#### Key Features
1) `**CODELESS**, Zero Lines of Code`
2) `Works Automatically`
3) `No More UIScrollView`
4) `No More Subclasses`
5) `No More Manual Work`
6) `No More #imports`
`IQKeyboardManager` works on all orientations, and with the toolbar. It also has nice optional features allowing you to customize the distance from the text field, behaviour of previous, next and done buttons in the keyboard toolbar, play sound when the user navigates through the form and more.

## Warning
- **If you're planning to build SDK/library/framework and want to handle UITextField/UITextView with IQKeyboardManager then you're totally going the wrong way.** I would never suggest to add **IQKeyboardManager** as **dependency/adding/shipping** with any third-party library. Instead of adding **IQKeyboardManager** you should implement your own solution to achieve same kind of results. **IQKeyboardManager** is totally designed for projects to help developers for their convenience, it's not designed for **adding/dependency/shipping** with any **third-party library**, because **doing this could block adoption by other developers for their projects as well (who are not using IQKeyboardManager and have implemented their custom solution to handle UITextField/UITextView in the project).**
- If **IQKeyboardManager** conflicts with other **third-party library**, then it's **developer responsibility** to **enable/disable IQKeyboardManager** when **presenting/dismissing** third-party library UI. Third-party libraries are not responsible to handle IQKeyboardManager.

Installation
==========================
#### Installation with CocoaPods
[](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/IQKeyboardManager)
***IQKeyboardManager (Objective-C):*** IQKeyboardManager is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile: ([#9](https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager/issues/9))
```ruby
pod 'IQKeyboardManager' #iOS8 and later
pod 'IQKeyboardManager', '3.3.7' #iOS7
```
***IQKeyboardManager (Swift):*** IQKeyboardManagerSwift is available through [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile: ([#236](https://github.com/hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager/issues/236))
*Swift 4.2, 4.0, 3.2, 3.0 (Xcode 9)*
```ruby
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift'
```
*Or you can choose the version you need based on Swift support table from [Requirements](README.md#requirements)*
```ruby
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift', '5.0.0'
```
In AppDelegate.swift, just import IQKeyboardManagerSwift framework and enable IQKeyboardManager.
```swift
import IQKeyboardManagerSwift
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true
return true
}
}
```
#### Installation with Carthage
[Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.
You can install Carthage with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) using the following command:
```bash
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
```
To integrate `IQKeyboardManger` or `IQKeyboardManagerSwift` into your Xcode project using Carthage, add the following line to your `Cartfile`:
```ogdl
github "hackiftekhar/IQKeyboardManager"
```
Run `carthage` to build the frameworks and drag the appropriate framework (`IQKeyboardManager.framework` or `IQKeyboardManagerSwift.framework`) into your Xcode project based on your need. Make sure to add only one framework and not both.
#### Installation with Source Code
[]()
***IQKeyboardManager (Objective-C):*** Just ***drag and drop*** `IQKeyboardManager` directory from demo project to your project. That's it.
***IQKeyboardManager (Swift):*** ***Drag and drop*** `IQKeyboardManagerSwift` directory from demo project to your project
In AppDelegate.swift, just enable IQKeyboardManager.
```swift
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true
return true
}
}
```
