Usage example

Storyboard

Create a text field UITextField and set a class AKMaskField in the Inspector / Accessory Panel tab. Specify necessary attributes in the Inspector / Accessory Attributes tab.

Example:

MaskExpression: {dddd}-{DDDD}-{WaWa}-{aaaa}
MaskTemplate: ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP

Programmatically

Setup mask field in your view controller.

var field: AKMaskField!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    field = AKMaskField()
    field.maskExpression = "{dddd}-{DDDD}-{WaWa}-{aaaa}"
    field.maskTemplate = "ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP"
}

Configuring the Mask Field

var maskExpression: String?

The string value that has blocks with pattern symbols that determine the certain format of input data. Wrap each mask block with proper bracket character.

The predetermined formats:

Mask symbol (pattern)	Input format
d	Number, decimal number from 0 to 9
D	Any symbol, except decimal number
W	Not an alphabetic symbol
a	Alphabetic symbol, a-Z
.	Corresponds to any symbol (default)

Default value of this property is nil.

var maskTemplate: String

The text that represents the mask filed with replacing mask symbol by template character.

Characters count	Input format
1	Template character will be copied to each mask block with repeating equal block length.
Equal	Template length equal to mask without brackets. Template characters will replace mask blocks in same range.

Default value of this property is *.

func setMask(mask: String, withMaskTemplate maskTemplate: String)

Use this method to set the mask and template parameters.

Parameters

maskExpression : Mask (read above).
maskTemplate : Mask template (read above).

You can also set default placeholder property. The placeholder will shows only when mask field is clear.

var maskBlockBrackets: AKMaskFieldBrackets

Open and close bracket character for the mask block. Default value of this property is { and }.

Setup Mask Field behavior

var jumpToPrevBlock: Bool { get set }

Jumps to previous block when cursor placed between brackets or before first character in current block. Default value of this property is false.

Accessing the Text Attributes

var text: String? { get set }

The text displayed by the mask field.

Mask Field actions

func refreshMask()

Manually refresh the mask field

Accessing the Delegate

weak var maskDelegate: AKMaskFieldDelegate? { get set }

Getting the Mask Field status

var maskStatus: AKMaskFieldStatus { get }

Returns the current status of the mask field. The value of the property is a constant. See AKMaskFieldStatus for descriptions of the possible values.

Getting the Mask Field object

var maskBlocks: [AKMaskFieldBlock] { get }

Returns an array containing all the Mask Field blocks
