## Usage

You can set the value of the `placeholder` property just like using UITextField.

### Interface Builder

![Storyboard](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MoZhouqi/KMPlaceholderTextView/master/Screenshots/storyboard-setting.gif)

1. Drag a UITextView object onto the canvas.
2. In the Identity inspector, set the Custom Class name to `KMPlaceholderTextView`.
3. In the Attributes inspector, you can change the value of the `placeholder` property directly.

### Code

```swift
let placeholderTextView = KMPlaceholderTextView(frame: view.bounds)
placeholderTextView.placeholder = "What's on your mind?"
view.addSubview(placeholderTextView)
```
