## Discussion

Discussion Use keyboardType(_:) to specify the keyboard type to use for text entry. A number of different keyboard types are available to meet specialized input needs, such as entering email addresses or phone numbers. The example below presents a TextField to input an email address. Setting the text field’s keyboard type to .emailAddress ensures the user can only enter correctly formatted email addresses. TextField("someone@example.com", text: $emailAddress)     .keyboardType(.emailAddress) There are several different kinds of specialized keyboard types available though the UIKeyboardType enumeration. To specify the default system keyboard type, use .default.
