Could I set vc's view becomeFirstResponder by touchesBegan func in storyboard?

Question

In code, I can use this below method to let vc's view becomeFirstResponder, and play down the show-up keyboard.

the code is below:

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {

    self.view.endEditing(true)
}

Could I set this function in my storyboard? or there is some way easier for self.view.endEditing(true) when click self.view?

Because if not do this, I will copy the function upper to almost every vc.

Just put this somewhere in the code and it would resolve your issue with code duplicating

extension UIViewController {
    open override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
        super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
        self.view.endEditing(true)
    }
}

I'm not sure tho if it's a good way of doing this, maybe you'd like to rethink the architectural issues of resigning the textfield's responder, regards of what you really need.
