How to add TextField to UIAlertController in Swift

    //Add text field
    alertController.addTextFie         


        

Answer 1

Swift5

First class conforms to the UITextFieldDelegate , then create new textField property

    private var myTextField : UITextField?

    // now where u want to add code
    let alertContoller = UIAlertController.init(title: "Add", message: "My message to user", preferredStyle: .alert)
    alertContoller.addTextField { (textField) in
        // make sure your outside any property should be accessed with self here
        self.myTextField = textField
        //Important step assign textfield delegate to self
        self.myTextField?.delegate = self 
        self.myTextField?.placeholder = self.textFieldPlaceholderText
    }
    let action = UIAlertAction.init(title: "Ok", style: .default) { action in
        print("Alert tapped")
    }
    alertContoller.addAction(action)
    present(alertContoller, animated: true, completion:nil)

Thanks
