How to disable pasting in a TextField in Swift?

Question

I\'ve got a TextField with a numberPad and the function runs only if it contains numbers.

The user will crash the app if they paste letters

For Swift 5

UIResponder​Standard​Edit​Actions has been added recently (iOS 10.0+) through which we can safely check if action is "paste" or not.

import UIKit

class NMTextField: UITextField {
    override func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
        if action == #selector(UIResponderStandardEditActions.paste(_:)) {
            return false
        }
        return super.canPerformAction(action, withSender: sender)
    }
}
