Deselect UITextField when clicking outside

Question

This could be a dumb question but how can I get out of a selected UITextField if I click anywhere on the screen? I need this in Swift, not Obj-c please. Thank you.

You have to set the end editing as true.

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?){
    view.endEditing(true)
    super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
}
