Reactive Keyboard in iOS
RxKeyboard
RxKeyboard provides a reactive way of observing keyboard frame changes. Forget about keyboard notifications. It also perfectly works with UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissMode.interactive.

Getting Started
RxKeyboard provides two Drivers.
/// An observable keyboard frame.
let frame: Driver<CGRect>
/// An observable visible height of keyboard. Emits keyboard height if the keyboard is visible /// or 0 if the keyboard is not visible. let visibleHeight: Driver<CGFloat>
/// Same with visibleHeight but only emits values when keyboard is about to show. This is /// useful when adjusting scroll view content offset. let willShowVisibleHeight: Driver<CGFloat>
Use RxKeyboard.instance to get singleton instance.
RxKeyboard.instance
Subscribe RxKeyboard.instance.frame to observe keyboard frame changes.
RxKeyboard.instance.frame
.drive(onNext: { frame in
print(frame)
})
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
Tips and Tricks
- ๐ I want to adjust
UIScrollView'scontentInsetto fit keyboard height.
RxKeyboard.instance.visibleHeight
.drive(onNext: { [scrollView] keyboardVisibleHeight in
scrollView.contentInset.bottom = keyboardVisibleHeight
})
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
- ๐ I want to adjust
UIScrollView'scontentOffsetto fit keyboard height.
RxKeyboard.instance.willShowVisibleHeight
.drive(onNext: { [scrollView] keyboardVisibleHeight in
scrollView.contentOffset.y += keyboardVisibleHeight
})
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
- ๐ I want to make
UIToolbarmove along with the keyboard in an interactive dismiss mode. (Just like the wonderful GIF above!)
RxKeyboard.instance.visibleHeight
.drive(onNext: { [toolbar, view] keyboardVisibleHeight in
toolbar.frame.origin.y = view.frame.height - toolbar.frame.height - keyboardVisibleHeight
})
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
If you're using Auto Layout, you have to capture the toolbar's bottom constraint and set constant to keyboard visible height.
RxKeyboard.instance.visibleHeight
.drive(onNext: { [toolbarBottomConstraint] keyboardVisibleHeight in
toolbarBottomConstraint.constant = -1 * keyboardVisibleHeight
})
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
> Note: In real world, you should use setNeedsLayout() and layoutIfNeeded() with animation block. See the example project for example.
