To incorporate a mask into a Swift UITextField, you can use the MaskedTextField library. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Install the MaskedTextField library in your project using Cocoapods or manually.

  2. Import MaskedTextField in your view controller.

import MaskedTextField
  1. Create an instance of MaskedTextField and add it to your view.
let maskedTextField = MaskedTextField(frame: CGRect(x: 50, y: 50, width: 200, height: 30))
view.addSubview(maskedTextField)
  1. Set the mask pattern for the text field.
maskedTextField.maskExpression = "(###) ###-####"

This will create a text field that accepts only 10 digits in the format of (123) 456-7890.

  1. You can customize the appearance of the text field as per your requirement.
maskedTextField.backgroundColor = .white
maskedTextField.textColor = .black
maskedTextField.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
  1. You can access the text entered in the text field using the text property.
let phoneNumber = maskedTextField.text

This will give you the text entered by the user in the mask pattern format.

By using MaskedTextField, you can easily create text fields that accept input in a specific format such as phone numbers, email addresses, zip codes, etc.
