Pros of MBProgressHUD

• Provides a comprehensive set of progress indicators and HUD (Heads-Up Display) elements
• Highly customizable with various styles, animations, and modes
• Widely adopted and well-maintained, with extensive documentation

Cons of MBProgressHUD

• Focused solely on progress indicators, lacking keyboard management features
• May require additional setup for complex UI interactions
• Potential performance impact when used excessively

Code Comparison

MBProgressHUD:

MBProgressHUD *hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:self.view animated:YES];
hud.mode = MBProgressHUDModeIndeterminate;
hud.label.text = @"Loading...";
[hud showAnimated:YES];

DAKeyboardControl:

[self.view addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
    // Adjust UI elements based on keyboard frame
}];

Summary

MBProgressHUD excels in providing progress indicators and HUD elements, offering extensive customization options. It's widely adopted and well-maintained. However, it lacks keyboard management features, which is the primary focus of DAKeyboardControl. MBProgressHUD may require additional setup for complex UI interactions and could impact performance if overused. DAKeyboardControl, on the other hand, specializes in keyboard management but doesn't offer progress indication functionality. The choice between these libraries depends on the specific needs of your project, whether it's progress indication or keyboard handling.

Pros of SlackTextViewController

• More comprehensive solution, offering a full-featured text input controller
• Includes auto-growing text view and customizable input accessory view
• Provides built-in support for mentions, hashtags, and other rich text features

Cons of SlackTextViewController

• Larger codebase, potentially more complex to integrate and customize
• May include features not needed for simpler applications
• Requires more setup and configuration compared to DAKeyboardControl

Code Comparison

DAKeyboardControl:

[self.view addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
    // Update UI based on keyboard frame
}];

SlackTextViewController:

SLKTextViewController *textViewController = [SLKTextViewController new];
textViewController.textView.placeholder = @"Message";
textViewController.bounces = YES;
textViewController.keyboardPanningEnabled = YES;

Summary

SlackTextViewController offers a more feature-rich solution for text input handling, including auto-growing text views and support for rich text features. However, it comes with a larger codebase and potentially more complex integration. DAKeyboardControl provides a simpler, focused solution for keyboard management, which may be sufficient for many applications. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of your project and the level of customization needed.

Pros of TPKeyboardAvoiding

• Simpler implementation with less code, making it easier to integrate and maintain
• Works automatically with UIScrollView and its subclasses without additional setup
• Supports both portrait and landscape orientations out of the box

Cons of TPKeyboardAvoiding

• Less customizable than DAKeyboardControl
• Doesn't provide advanced features like pan gesture recognition for keyboard dismissal
• May not work as well with complex view hierarchies or custom layouts

Code Comparison

TPKeyboardAvoiding:

[self.scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.scrollView.frame.size.width, 700)];
[TPKeyboardAvoiding willMoveToSuperview:self.scrollView];

DAKeyboardControl:

[self.view addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
    // Custom logic here
}];

TPKeyboardAvoiding offers a more straightforward approach, automatically handling keyboard avoidance for scroll views. DAKeyboardControl provides more flexibility and control over keyboard interactions, allowing for custom behaviors and animations.

Both libraries serve their purposes well, with TPKeyboardAvoiding being ideal for simpler implementations and DAKeyboardControl offering more advanced features for complex user interfaces.

Pros of IQKeyboardManager

• More comprehensive solution with automatic handling of keyboard appearance and dismissal
• Supports multiple input views and scrollviews simultaneously
• Actively maintained with frequent updates and bug fixes

Cons of IQKeyboardManager

• Larger codebase and potentially higher overhead
• May require more configuration for complex scenarios
• Could interfere with custom keyboard handling implementations

Code Comparison

DAKeyboardControl:

[self.view addKeyboardPanningWithActionHandler:^(CGRect keyboardFrameInView) {
    // Handle keyboard frame changes
}];

IQKeyboardManager:

IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true
IQKeyboardManager.shared.enableAutoToolbar = false
IQKeyboardManager.shared.shouldResignOnTouchOutside = true

Summary

IQKeyboardManager offers a more feature-rich and automated approach to keyboard management, while DAKeyboardControl provides a simpler, more lightweight solution. IQKeyboardManager is better suited for complex applications with multiple input fields, whereas DAKeyboardControl may be preferable for projects requiring more manual control over keyboard interactions. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the project and the desired level of customization.
