Multipoint auto-fill text box in Apple iOS using Swift

Question

So far, I could have performed the auto-complete function in the Textfield user interface in Xcode 6 for my iOS application, but my task is to make some tags and then show a sentence for each of them. For instance:

Enter “Ja” and it will display “Java” in the list, I will select this, type “,” and make it a tag, then I will start typing “PH” and it will display “PHP” and I will choose that and put another "," and so on. Just like jQuery Auto-complete for multiple tags. Is there any way to do this in iOS?

Use the WSTagField by whitesmith library

Since you finished the autocomplete logic. You just need to show the results in a UITableView. Then use the WSTagField as shown below to show / hide the view of the proposal table.

 let tagsField = WSTagsField() // Events tagsField.onDidAddTag = { field, tag in //Remove suggestions tableview from the view print("DidAddTag", tag.text) } tagsField.onDidChangeText = { _, text in //Add suggestions table to the view } tagsField.onDidChangeHeightTo = { _, height in //Update suggestions table frame to prevent tag field covering } tagsField.onValidateTag = { tag, tags in // validate tag here to match your tags list }
