How to restrict UITextField to take only numbers in Swift?

Question

I want the user to only enter numeric values in a UITextField. On iPhone we can show the numeric keyboard, but on iPad the user can switch to any keyboard.

I think you can force change the keyboard type by implementing UITextInputTraits protocol, optional var keyboardType

//class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextInputTraits {

@IBOutlet weak var textFieldKeyboardType: UITextField!{
    didSet{
        textFieldKeyboardType.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad
    }
}
var keyboardType: UIKeyboardType { 
    get{ 
        return textFieldKeyboardType.keyboardType
    } 
    set{ 
        if newValue != UIKeyboardType.NumberPad{
            self.keyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad
        }
    } 
}
