How to paste image from pasteboard on UITextView?

Question

let pasteboard = UIPasteboard.generalPasteboard()
var image = UIImage(named: \"myimage\");
pasteboard.image         


        

Answer 1

Create an NSTextAttachment from the image and an attributed string with the TextAttachment. Then set the attributedText property of the UITextView. Subclass UITextView and override the paste(_:) method:

override func paste(_ sender: Any?) {
    let textAttachment = NSTextAttachment()
    textAttachment.image = UIPasteboard.general.image
    attributedText = NSAttributedString(attachment: textAttachment)
}
