UILabel subclass with UIAlertView editing. Support for masked passwords and placeholders..

Installation

Podfile

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod "RFTapEditLabel", "~> 1.2"

Use programmatically

RFTapEditLabel is very simple to install and use. Just init the RFTapEditLabel with or without securTextEntry, and with a frame (the way you normally would).

    RFTapEditLabel *tapLabel = [[RFTapEditLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 100, 180, 31) secureTextEntry:NO];

Use in Storyboard

You can either use RFTabEditCell or RFTapEditLabel inside of Storyboard.

To use RFTabEditCell you'll change UITableViewCell the Custom Class to RFTabEditCell

To use RFTabEditLabel, you'll change the UILabel Custom Class to RFTabEditLabel

You'll want to set User Defined Runtime Attributes to control things like label text, placeholder text and secure if you use multiple prototype cells. The values will be picked up in the RFTabEditCell or RFTabEditLabel awakeFromNib

• secureTextEntry Boolean
• customLabelText String
• customPlaceHolderText String

To reuse prototype cells with different content then populate the fields from a property file plist.

RFTabEditCell uses the following constraints for alignment within the UITableView

    [self.contentView addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"|-15-[tapTextLabel]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:viewsDictionary]];
    [self.contentView addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|[tapTextLabel]|" options:0 metrics:nil views:viewsDictionary]];
    [self.contentView setNeedsUpdateConstraints];

That's really it, you can then use some of the methods below. You can also always grab any of the text as well. Also, you can initialize the RFTapEditCell, which just sets the textLabel of the cell to a custom label.

Hope you enjoy it!

Methods

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame secureTextEntry:(BOOL)secureTextEntry;
    // standard init, except with an option for a password text field.

- (void)simulateTap;
    // tapLabel programatically

- (void)toggleEditable;
    // if editable, set uneditable, if uneditable, set editable

- (void)setEditable:(BOOL)editable;
    // set editable without toggling

- (void)setLabelTextCustom:(NSString *)labelText;
    // use this when setting text AND a placeholder (otherwise unnecessary)

- (void)setPlaceholderText:(NSString *)placeholderText;
    // use this for setting a placeholder

- (void)toggleMask;
    // toggle mask, show dots or hide them

- (void)toggleMaskForTime:(NSTimeInterval)time;
    // toggle mask for time, show dots for x seconds, then hide

- (void)toggleMaskForTime:(NSTimeInterval)time onToggle:(void (^)(void))whileToggled completion:(void (^)(void))completionBlock;
    // I have never really used blocks before, and am new to controls, so this works, but may not be implemented properly
    // this allows you to set some properties while the label is being toggled, but then you can reset them

- (void)setMaskWithLength:(NSUInteger)maskLength;
    // change length of mask for security (by default label sets mask to length of text)

- (NSString*)maskString:(NSUInteger)maskLength;
    // return a masked string with the string length (set maskLength) or with  a custom maskLength (like setMaskWithLength)
