Indent the text in a UITextField

My question is as simple as the title, but here\'s a little more:

I have a UITextField, on which I\'ve set the background image. The problem is that the text hugs so

Answer 1

My 2 cents:

class PaddedTextField : UITextField {
    var insets = UIEdgeInsets.zero
    var verticalPadding:CGFloat = 0
    var horizontalPadding:CGFloat = 0

    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRect(x: bounds.origin.x + insets.left, y: bounds.origin.y + insets.top, width: bounds.size.width - (insets.left + insets.right), height: bounds.size.height - (insets.top + insets.bottom));
    }

    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return textRect(forBounds: bounds)
    }
}
