TextFieldStepper

A SwiftUI component to make inputting numbers easier than the native Stepper component. In addition to increment and decrement buttons, the user can tap the number to change it using the keyboard or long press one of the buttons to continue running the action until released.

Platforms

Tested on iOS 16.0 but should work on both iOS and iPadOS 15 and up.

Usage

Creating a TextFieldStepper is simple.

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var butter = 0.0

    var body: some View {
        TextFieldStepper(
            doubleValue: $butter, 
            unit: "oz", 
            label: "Butter"
        )
    }
}

Customizing

The defaults should be fine for most situations but there are certainly cases where they won't be. There are two methods that will allow you to change these parameters.

If you just want to modify a single component, you can directly pass in the parameter name and value.

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var butter = 0.0

    var body: some View {
        TextFieldStepper(
            doubleValue: $butter, 
            unit: "oz", 
            label: "Butter",
            minimum: 5.0,
            maximum: 25.0
        )
    }
}

If you want to modify multiple at once, use TextFieldStepperConfig. You can either pass a different one into each instance of the component or create a single one and make it available globally as a sort of default.

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var butter = 0.0

    let config = TextFieldStepperConfig(
        unit: "oz",
        label: "Butter",
        minimum: 5.0,
        maximum: 25.0
    )

    var body: some View {
        TextFieldStepper(doubleValue: $butter, config: config)
    }
}

Parameters

Below are the parameters available on both TextFieldStepper and TextFieldStepperConfig.

Parameter	Type	Default	Note
unit	String	“”	Unit to show after value.
label	String	“”	Label to show under value.
increment	Double	0.1	How many points to increment or decrement
minimum	Double	0.0	Minimum accepted value.
maximum	Double	100.0	Maximum accepted value.
decrementImage	TextFieldStepperImage	TextFieldStepperImage(systemName: "minus.circle.fill")	Image for decrement button.
incrementImage	TextFieldStepperImage	TextFieldStepperImage(systemName: "plus.circle.fill")	Image for increment button.
declineImage	TextFieldStepperImage	TextFieldStepperImage(systemName: “xmark.circle.fill”, color: Color.red)	Image for decline button.
confirmImage	TextFieldStepperImage	TextFieldStepperImage(systemName: “checkmark.circle.fill”, color: Color.green)	Image for confirm button.
disabledColor	Color	Color(UIColor.lightGray)	Color of disabled button.
labelOpacity	Double	1.0	Opacity of label under value.
labelColor	Color	.primary	Color of label under value.
valueColor	Color	.primary	Color of value.
shouldShowAlert	Bool	true	If alerts should show when a value is being defaulted due to error.
minimumDecimalPlaces	Int	0	Minimum decimal places to always show after the value.
maximumDecimalPlaces	Int	8	Maximum decimal places to allow after value.

Styling

Below are the default colors and images that TextFieldStepper uses. In addition to this, when a button is disabled it will use Color(UIColor.lightGray) which can be overridden with the disabledColor parameter. You can also specify the label opacity and color with labelOpacity and labelColor. If you want to change the color of the main value, use valueColor.

Button	Color	Image
decrementButton	.accentColor	minus.circle.fill
incrementButton	.accentColor	plus.circle.fill
declineButton	.red	xmark.circle.fill
confirmButtton	.green	checkmark.circle.fill

You can override the default images by creating an instance of TextFieldStepperImage and passing that to the corresponding parameter on either TextFieldStepper or TextFieldStepperConfig. There are two methods of instantiating TextFieldStepperImage. Currently there is no method to just change the color, you must provide an image as well.

If you’re just using a system named image, you can use the systemName parameter.
```
let image = TextFieldStepperImage(systemName: "circle.fill")
```

If you're using a custom image, directly pass an Image.

let image = TextFieldStepperImage(image: Image(systemName: "circle.fill")

Keyboard Hiding

iOS poorly handles hiding the keyboard so TextFieldStepper includes a modifier named .closeKeyboard(on: ) to make it better. You do not need to specify the on parameter and by default it will enable both swipe and tap gestures. If you only want to use one gesture you can provide either .Tap or .Swipe.

This modifier should be tied to a specific view in which you want interaction to occur, do not place it at the highest level of execution or things may not work as you intend.

Floating point

The underlying value that TextFieldStepper expects is a Double which of course can sometimes cause floating-point issues. The component itself doesn’t ever modify the value however for validation checks it will be .rounded() to 9 decimal places. The value then is truncated when shown in text format to 8 decimal places, however, this can be changed with the maximumDecimalPlaces parameter. This should not be an issue in nearly all situations but I just wanted to mention it for transparency sake.
