I have a screen called OTP. In that, I have set dynamic textfields using collectionview cell.
I am able to fetch the user enters text from that textfields using the tag.
But, I have an issue like, All four textfields filled then only I have to enable the Send button in the UI until that Send button would be disabled.

I am able to get text from textfields based on the textfield tag.
But, How to detect wether all textfields filled or not from collectionview cell?

Any suggestions?

My code is below:

 class OTPViewController: UITableViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource, UITextFieldDelegate {

    
    func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }
    
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        
        return otpTextCount //either 4 or 6 number comes from server array
    }
    
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        
        let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionViewCell", for: indexPath) as! OTPCollectionViewCell
        cell.otpTextField.tag = indexPath.row
        cell.otpTextField.delegate = self
        return cell
    }
    
    func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
        
        textField.text = textField.text?.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
        return true
    }
    
    func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
        
        var cell: OTPCollectionViewCell?
        cell = textField.superview?.superview as? OTPCollectionViewCell
        //        print(cell?.otpTextField.text as! String)
        //        print(cell?.otpTextField.tag)
    }

    I have found following way and it worked fine.

        private var arrayOfCells: [OTPCollectionViewCell] = []
        var insertedValues = [String]()
    
        func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
            
            let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionViewCell", for: indexPath) as! OTPCollectionViewCell
            cell.otpTextField.tag = indexPath.row
            cell.otpTextField.delegate = self
            arrayOfCells += [cell]
            return cell
        }
    
        func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
            
            if insertedValues.count > 0 {
                insertedValues.removeAll()
            }
            
            for i in 0..<arrayOfCells.count {
                if let textfieldText = arrayOfCells[i].otpTextField.text, textfieldText != "" {
                    insertedValues.append(textfieldText)
                    if insertedValues.count == 4 //otpTextCount{
                        nextButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
                    }
                } else {
                    nextButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
                    
                }
        }
    }
    

  2. I would recommend you to store text that were inserted into UITextFields into some sort of dictionary [Int: String] where key is the tag of cell. Then if the dictionary contains all necessary tags we can enable the button.

    The example follows. I personally would recommend storing states in something like a ViewModel and moving that logic there. But this is a sample code that I did not compile, its purpose it to simply show the idea.

    class OTPViewController: UITableViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource, UITextFieldDelegate {
      var insertedValues = [Int: String]()
    
      func numberOfSections(in collectionView: UICollectionView) -> Int {
          return 1
      }
    
      func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        
          return otpTextCount //either 4 or 6 number comes from server array
      }
    
      func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        
          let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionViewCell", for: indexPath) as! OTPCollectionViewCell
          cell.otpTextField.tag = indexPath.row
          cell.otpTextField.delegate = self
          return cell
      }
    
      func textField(textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersInRange range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool {
        
          textField.text = textField.text?.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "")
          return true
      }
    
      func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
        
          guard let cell = textField.superview?.superview as? OTPCollectionViewCell else {
              assertionFailure("Orphan textField did end editing. No cell found")
              return
          } 
    
          if textField.text == "" {
              insertedValues[cell.tag] = nil
          } else {
              insertedValues[cell.tag] = textField.text
          }
    
          theButton.isEnabled = areAllFieldsFilled()
          //        print(cell?.otpTextField.text as! String)
          //        print(cell?.otpTextField.tag)
      }
    
      func areAllFieldsFilled() -> Bool {
          for n in 0..<otpTextCount {
              if !insertedValues.keys.contains(n) {
                 return false
              }
          }
    
          return true
      }
