Close iOS Keyboard by touching anywhere using Swift
// Put this piece of code anywhere you like
extension UIViewController {
func hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround() {
let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(UIViewController.dismissKeyboard))
tap.cancelsTouchesInView = false
view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}
@objc func dismissKeyboard() {
view.endEditing(true)
}
}
//Now in every UIViewController, all you have to do is call this function:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.hideKeyboardWhenTappedAround()
}
