How to hide keyboard on iOS when tapping anywhere on the screen (Swift)

Hello everyone! I'm new to iOS development in Swift and ran into a typical problem: when the user enters text in a UITextField, the keyboard appears, but to dismiss it, they need to press the "Return" or "Done" button. Many users expect that when tapping anywhere on the screen (e.g., on the background or another element), the keyboard should automatically hide.\n\nI tried using the `resignFirstResponder()` method on the text field, but I don't understand how to connect it with a tap gesture on the entire view. Here's an example of my code:\n\n```swift\nimport UIKit\n\nclass ViewController: UIViewController {\n\n @IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!\n \n override func viewDidLoad() {\n super.viewDidLoad()\n // I want the keyboard to dismiss when tapping on the background\n }\n}\n```
