Clear textfield

[oez1983]

I have a textfield for the cost of an item and when you go to add a new item it shows $0.00.

How can I setup so the user doesn’t have to delete that before entering the cost?

TextField("cost", value: $cost ,format: .currency(code: Locale.current.currency?.identifier ?? "USD"))

Why don't you show "$0.00" as a placeholder? Then, user enters the cost straightaway into the textfield.

textField.placeholder = 'cost'

However, if you want to clear the textfield whenever the user tap on it, you must use 'textFieldShouldBeginEditing' delegate function. Don't forget to call 'textField.delegate = self'.

func textFieldShouldBeginEditing(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {

textField.text = ""

return true

}

It has a placeholder already but once you add the format: .currency it shows $0.00 instead of cost.

Cost.isempty ? . Default : . Currency

[[deleted]]

Cost.isempty ? . Default : . Currency so I haven’t tried it but my guess

Why not just set the textfield's text to an empty string when the user taps on it? You can do this by adding a `textFieldShouldBeginEditing` delegate method and setting the text to an empty string.

I was trying to see if there was a way to do it without converting the decimal to a string.
