this answer clear,

1. if subclass uitextfield can override textrectforbounds, editingrectforbounds , placeholderrectforbounds. these methods allow add rect (frame) textfield's label.

2. newbounds method create rect (frame) added textfield's label.

3. finally padding is: let padding = uiedgeinsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5);

4. now have custom uitextfield has custom padding.

5. if create new subclass class mytextfield: uitextfield example, need change class of uitextfield you've added ib file.
