验证文本字段Swift 3

Question

I am trying to make all of my text fields required to make sure that users does not leave it empty. I tried this but for some reason it's not working. I feel like my logic is correct, but it's an issue with swift's logic

Here is my code:

let title = txtTitle.text!
let location = txtWhere.text!
let when = txtWhen.text!


    if title != nil && location != nil && when != nil {

        var titleArray = [String]()
        var whereArray = [String]()
        var whenArray = [String]()

        let titleObject = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "saveTitle")
        let whereObject = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "saveLocation")
        let whenObject = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "saveWhen")




        if let tempTitle = titleObject as? [String] {

            titleArray = tempTitle
            titleArray.append(txtTitle.text!)
            print(titleArray)

        }
        else {

            titleArray = [txtTitle.text!]

        }

        if let tempWhere = whereObject as? [String] {

            whereArray = tempWhere
            whereArray.append(txtWhere.text!)
            //print(titleArray)

        }
        else {

            whereArray = [txtWhere.text!]

        }

        if let tempWhen = whenObject as? [String] {

            whenArray = tempWhen
            whenArray.append(txtWhen.text!)
            //print(titleArray)

        }
        else {

            whenArray = [txtWhen.text!]

        }


        UserDefaults.standard.set(titleArray, forKey: "saveTitle")
        UserDefaults.standard.set(whereArray, forKey: "saveLocation")
        UserDefaults.standard.set(whenArray, forKey: "saveWhen")
        txtTitle.text = ""
        txtWhere.text = ""
        txtWhen.text = ""
        txtTime.text = ""

    }
        else
    {

        errMsg.isHidden = false
        errMsg.text = "All fields are required"

    }
}

Answer 1

To check reliably if the text properties of the text fields are not nil and not empty use

if let title = txtTitle.text, !title.isEmpty,
   let location = txtWhere.text, !location.isEmpty,
   let when = txtWhen.text, !when.isEmpty { ...

If all conditions are passed the three variables are safely unwrapped.

Answer 2

a. You shouldn't force unwrap ( txtTitle.text! ): instead check the optional value

b. You may want to check for empty strings instead of just for nil

That said, you can test for validity like that:

let title = txtTitle.text
if title?.isEmpty == false {
    ...// title was filled
}

Or better (thank you Leo Dabus):

if let title = txtTitle.text, !title.isEmpty {
    ...// title was filled
}

TEXTFIELD VALIDATION ======================>

func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool
{
    switch (textField.tag)
    {
    case 1:

        password.becomeFirstResponder()

    case 2 :

        confirm_pass.becomeFirstResponder()

    case 3 :

        email.becomeFirstResponder()

    case 4 :

        phone.becomeFirstResponder()

    case 5 :

        phone.resignFirstResponder()

    default: break
    }
    return true

}

func textFieldShouldClear(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool
{
    return true
}


func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField)
{
    if (textField == username)
