SwiftUI .keyboardType()

The .keyboardType() view modifier method in SwiftUI is used to specify the keyboard type from the UIKeyboardType enumeration to use for text entry.

Note: This method is specifically for use with text entry, so it can be applied as a view modifier to any view that accepts text input from the user, like a TextField.

Syntax

TextField("Some label", text: $someValueBinding)
    .keyboardType(parameter)

This method has one required parameter:

• type: One of the keyboard types defined in the UIKeyboardType enumeration.
