SOLVED: Formatting TextField while the user is typing

Forums > SwiftUI
@bentheten2002  

Hello,

I'm a rather new to coding with Swift UI. I have been stuck on trying to format the text in a textfield while the user is typing. What I mean is that while the user write something it always comforms to a pre-defined format, such as "dd/mm/yyyy". Is there anyway to do achieve this? I would be thankful for any help.

Hi bentheten2002 Not sure what you want to do with the text from textfield. If it a Date then you are better using a DatePicker to return the date which will format to users setting on dates.

Selecting dates and times with DatePicker

If you want a format eg email address or password must have certain letters etc then you can do a check that it correct before allowing user to go past this point.
