Change Log
Features:
- Migrated the library to be using NSAttributedString underneath. The
text property on SLKTextView uses a NSAttributedString representation based on its font and text color, and doesn't forward to super. By @jacywu07 (slackhq#501)
- As part of the migration to NSAttributedString, new helpers for attributed strings have been added to
SLKTextView+SLKAdditions.
- Introduced a new API to end users to open the auto-completion mode with a given prefix. By @jacywu07 (slackhq#506)
- Exposed the private
cacheTextView method. By @acandelaria1 (slackhq#513)
Hot Fixes & Enhancements:
Hot Fixes & Enhancements:
- Fixed keyboard status updates inconsistencies, causing sometimes the text input bar not to follow the keyboard.
- Fixed bottom margin inconsistencies. Thanks @yury! 💪
- Fixed an edge case where the caret would jump to the end after double-space completion in middle of text. Thanks @mtackes
- Improved Carthage support
Hot Fixes & Enhancements:
- Fixes a regression causing to trigger auto-completion text processing even if no prefix have been registered. This was causing a crash to many. Sorry about that!
- Ignores keyboard notifications when no valid first responder is detected. This fixes the text input not following the keyboard at times.
- Now
shouldProcessTextForAutoCompletion: requires calling super.
SlackTextViewController is now MIT licensed!
Features & Enhancements:
- Better Swift 2.2 support with nullability annotations and shiny new Swift sample code. You rock @weijentu 🙇
- Introduced
SLKTextInput protocol: A UITextInput extension to decouple all the text processing features related to auto-completion, to reuse in any text component such as UISearchBar, UITextField, UITextView, etc.
- Added a new API
-shouldProcessTextForAutoCompletion to be able to opt-out from text processing for auto-completion.
- The
registeredPrefixes property are now of type NSSet (instead of NSArray).
- Added animation to views when switching from a keyboard to a custom input view. Thanks @cyhsutw!
- Made
keyboardStatus public, making it easier to check for the current keyboard state.
Hot Fixes:
- Fixed a use case where the textInput would not follow the keyboard when dismissing.
- Improved text caching from the textInput, specially when moving the app to the background (in case the app crashes while being on the background).
- Fixed misaligned placeholder labels in the textView and out of bounds.
- Fixed the textInput not growing accordantly to the font size. This was a regressions since version
1.7.1
- Many, many, many auto-completion bug fixes 💪
Features & Enhancements:
- Renamed public
autoCompleteFormatting to formattingEnabled.
- Doesn't opt-out anymore from the built-in menu menu items Define, Replace and Share.
- Made the collectionView's default background color to white.
- The auto-completion view is now presented above of the table/collection view avoiding to push it up/down every time. Much better UX!
- Stored all key commands in a instance variable, to avoid recreating the array at every character update.
Hot Fixes:
- Fixed library from not compiling on iOS 8.
- Fixed the right button from stretching when animating the constrains. This was broken since iOS 9.
- Improved
UITabBar support by considering hidesBottomBarWhenPushed too.
- Fixed crash when double tapping the space bar while the textView was empty.
- Fixed issue causing not to forward all UITextViewDelegate callbacks.
Deprecations:
- Deprecated the keyboard panning gesture on iOS 9, to drag the keyboard up and down. More information about this in #361
- Deprecated
isLoupeVisible, which will cause issues when auto-completion mode is active and moving the cursor of the text view. More information about this in #361
Features & Enhancements:
- Enabled interaction while the right button and the auto-completion view are being presented animatedly
- Does not scroll to the bottom anymore, if the content size is smaller than its bounds, when
shouldScrollToBottomAfterKeyboardShows is enabled.
Hot Fixes:
- Fixed the keyboard status and custom notifications not being set on the right order.
- Fixed a crash when calling unrecognised selectors internally in the
UITextViewDelegate method implementation, when using other subclasses of UITextView.
- Fixed
UITabBar support. This was a regression. Thanks @LHIOUI for the headsup 👊
- Fixed cursor dragging issues when deep pressing on the keyboard's trackpad.
- Fixed the auto-completion layout being busted in 1.8. This was a regression.
Features & Enhancements:
- Added Markdown Formatting ⚡️📝, a useful and simple way to allow your users to auto-complete any markdown formatting from within the text input. 1 small step to make writing markdown quicker.
- The shake gesture now presents an
UIAlertController for iOS 8 and above. Still supports the old and good UIAlertView for legacy versions.
Hot Fixes:
- Fixed some content inset non-sense
- Scrolling to top now really scrolls to top. Not down. Oopsie.
- Scrolling down when the keyboard gets presented is also working now. Yay 🎉 !
- The placeholder font now matches the textView font, for real this time.
- Avoids reloading the text view when there is no key for cache. Thanks @susieyy!
- Removed annoying iOS 8 warnings.
Hot Fixes:

- Changed how the auto-completion API worked: it now allows asynch auto-completion! Have a look at how to set it up / update it](https://github.com/slackhq/SlackTextViewController#autocompletion)
- Added keyboard trackpad detection for iOS 9. Used internally for disables auto-completion while its detected, so we avoid crazy things! 👻
- Improved the magnifying glass detection.
- Gonna get a nice warning to remind you to
super in viewDidLoad now. Fancy!
- Slowed down bouncy animation by 0.15 seconds
- Disabled
cellLayoutMarginsFollowReadableWidth on iOS 9 for the auto-completion view. No need for large margins, come on!
Hot Fixes:

- Fixed swift compiler warning. Thanks @csjones
Features:
- Added support for custom typing indicator, following the same pattern of registering a class using
registerClassForTypingIndicatorView:, while this class conforms to SLKTypingIndicatorProtocol. Please refer to the documentation for more details about the feature. Thanks @sveinhal! (#207)
- Added support for registering longer auto-completion prefixes
- Improved drastically the keyboard panning experience, making it much more smooth now. Awesome stuff @camitox!
- Added the ability to ignore the text inputbar adjustment when the keyboard is presented, using
ignoreTextInputbarAdjustment. This is generally useful when SLKTVC is used in a custom modal presentation and when you want to manipulate the view's alignment yourself.
Hot Fixes:
- No longer overriding the default background color of UITableView. Oupsi! (#205)
- Made sure not to register the same notifications twice.
- Fixes issue where the text input would not adjust on top of the keyboard when presenting an
