Often while developing an app, We ran into an issues where the iPhone keyboard slide up and cover the `UITextField/UITextView`. `IQKeyboardManager` allows you to prevent issues of the keyboard sliding up and cover `UITextField/UITextView` without needing you to enter any code and no additional setup required. 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. There are also nice optional features allowing you to customize the distance from the text field, add the next/previous done button as a keyboard UIToolbar, play sounds when the user navigations through the form and more.

## Warning
- **If you're planning to build SDK/library/framework and wants to handle UITextField/UITextView with IQKeyboardManager then you're totally going on 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 implemented their custom solution to handle UITextField/UITextView thought 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 4.0 (Xcode 9.0)*
```ruby
pod 'IQKeyboardManagerSwift'
```
*Or you can choose 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.sharedManager().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, specify it in 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 according to 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.sharedManager().enable = true
return true
}
}
```
