Pros of SlackTextViewController

• More feature-rich, offering a complete messaging UI solution
• Includes auto-growing text view and customizable input accessory view
• Provides built-in support for typing indicators and message sending

Cons of SlackTextViewController

• Heavier and more complex, potentially overkill for simpler projects
• Less focused on just keyboard avoidance, which may not be needed in all cases
• Requires more setup and configuration compared to TPKeyboardAvoiding

Code Comparison

TPKeyboardAvoiding:

- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification*)notification {
    [self adjustOffsetToIdealIfNeeded];
}

SlackTextViewController:

- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView {
    [self updateTextViewHeight:textView];
    [self scrollToBottomAnimated:YES];
}

TPKeyboardAvoiding focuses solely on adjusting content offset when the keyboard appears, while SlackTextViewController handles text view changes, updates its height, and scrolls the content as needed.

SlackTextViewController offers a more comprehensive solution for messaging interfaces, including features like auto-growing text views and typing indicators. However, it may be overly complex for projects that only need simple keyboard avoidance. TPKeyboardAvoiding, on the other hand, provides a lightweight and focused solution for keyboard avoidance but lacks additional messaging-specific features.

Pros of IQKeyboardManager

• More comprehensive solution with additional features like keyboard appearance customization and text field management
• Automatic handling of keyboard events without manual setup
• Active development and frequent updates

Cons of IQKeyboardManager

• Larger codebase and potentially higher memory footprint
• May introduce unnecessary complexity for simpler projects
• Some users report occasional conflicts with custom UI implementations

Code Comparison

TPKeyboardAvoiding:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    scrollView.keyboardDismissMode = .interactive
    TPKeyboardAvoiding.setup(scrollView)
}

IQKeyboardManager:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    IQKeyboardManager.shared.enable = true
    IQKeyboardManager.shared.enableAutoToolbar = false
    IQKeyboardManager.shared.shouldResignOnTouchOutside = true
}

Both libraries aim to solve the issue of keyboard obstruction in iOS apps, but IQKeyboardManager offers a more feature-rich solution at the cost of increased complexity. TPKeyboardAvoiding provides a simpler, lightweight approach that may be sufficient for many projects. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of your app and the level of customization needed for keyboard management.

Pros of DAKeyboardControl

• More customizable with options for animation duration and keyboard height
• Supports both UIScrollView and UIView
• Includes a demo project for easier implementation understanding

Cons of DAKeyboardControl

• Less actively maintained (last update in 2017)
• Requires more setup code compared to TPKeyboardAvoiding
• May have compatibility issues with newer iOS versions

Code Comparison

TPKeyboardAvoiding:

#import <TPKeyboardAvoiding/TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView.h>

TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView *scrollView = [[TPKeyboardAvoidingScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:scrollView];

DAKeyboardControl:

#import "DAKeyboardControl.h"

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

TPKeyboardAvoiding offers a simpler implementation with a custom scroll view subclass, while DAKeyboardControl provides more flexibility but requires additional setup code. TPKeyboardAvoiding is more actively maintained and likely to be compatible with recent iOS versions, whereas DAKeyboardControl offers more customization options but may require updates for newer iOS releases.

Pros of RBBAnimation

• Focuses on complex animations and transitions
• Provides a more flexible and customizable animation system
• Supports keyframe-based animations

Cons of RBBAnimation

• Steeper learning curve due to its more advanced features
• May be overkill for simple UI adjustments like keyboard avoidance
• Less specific to keyboard-related issues

Code Comparison

TPKeyboardAvoiding:

- (void)keyboardWillShow:(NSNotification*)notification {
    TPKeyboardAvoidingState *state = self.keyboardAvoidingState;
    UIView *firstResponder = [self TPKeyboardAvoiding_findFirstResponderBeneathView:self];
    state.keyboardRect = [[[notification userInfo] objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] CGRectValue];
    state.keyboardVisible = YES;
    state.priorInset = self.contentInset;
    state.priorScrollIndicatorInsets = self.scrollIndicatorInsets;
    
    // ...
}

RBBAnimation:

RBBTweenAnimation *animation = [RBBTweenAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"position.y"];

animation.fromValue = @(view.center.y);
animation.toValue = @(view.center.y - 100);
animation.duration = 0.3;
animation.timingFunction = RBBEasingFunctionEaseInEaseOut;

[view.layer addAnimation:animation forKey:@"slide"];

While TPKeyboardAvoiding is specifically designed for handling keyboard-related UI adjustments, RBBAnimation provides a more general-purpose animation framework for creating complex animations and transitions in iOS applications.
