Imitates the functionality of Apple's QuickType with the ability to fill in custom elements rather than suggested words.
BSWQuickType is a great way to suggest more relevant words to your users than Apple's QuickType will. This UIScrollView works by attaching to the top of the users keyboard and allowing them to tap the suggestions.

First you're going to want to import the BSWQuickType files by adding the files to your project then adding an import statement to the top of your .h file like so:
#import "BSWQuickType.h"
You'll then want to conform your current class to the BSWQuickTypeDelegate by adding <BSWQuickTypeDelegate> to your .h file.
Now you'll be able to create a BSWQuickType object in your .m file. It's recommended you make your BSWQuickType object an instance variable in case you need to use it outside of the method it's being initialized in. To create your BSWQuickType object, use the following lines:
BSWQuickType *quickTypeView = [[BSWQuickType alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 36) suggestionArray:@[@"Text", @"For", @"You"] filterSuggestions:YES onTextField:_demoTextField];This'll create a BSWQuickType view object automatically, and nothing else is required in order for it to work, although there are a few configurations.
quickTypeShouldScroll- Should the user be able to scroll the suggestions. (BOOL)quickTypePagingEnabled- Should the scroll view have "pages" of suggestions when scrolling, or should it be continuous scrolling. (BOOL)quickTypeBouncingEnabled- Determines if the scroll view should bounce if the user goes too far to once side when scrolling. (BOOL)quickTypeFilter- Should the BSWQuickType filter through your suggestions and give the most relevant ones first. (BOOL)
- (void)quickType:(BSWQuickType *)quickType selectedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex withArray:(NSArray *)resultsArray;This is the only protocol currently available in BSWQuickType and is called whenever a user taps a suggestion. The method allows the use of the current BSWQuickType object, the suggestion button's index, and finally the array used if filtering is enabled.
- (void)hideQuickType;
Hides the QuickType view from the user.
- (void)showQuickType;
Shows the QuickType view to the user.
- Make it visually more similar to Apple's QuickType
