public extension UIView

Shadows

  • Setup the shadow layer of this UIView.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func setupShadow(colour: UIColor, opacity: Float, offset: CGSize, radius: CGFloat)

    Parameters

    colour

    A UIColor representing the colour of the shadow.
    opacity

    A Float for the opacity of the shadow.
    offset

    A CGSize to determine the shadow’s offset from its origin.
    radius

    A CGFloat of the blur radius of the shadow.

Borders

  • Setup a border surrounding this UIView.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func setupBorder(colour: UIColor, width: CGFloat)

    Parameters

    colour

    A UIColor representing the colour of the border.
    width

    A CGFloat representing the thickness of the border.

Gradients

  • Constants to represent the CAGradientLayer’s orientation.

    • horizontal: Indicates a horizontal CAGradientLayer.
    • vertical: Indicates a vertical CAGradientLayer.

    Declaration

    Swift

    enum GradientOrientation

  • Setup a gradient layer or override an existing gradient layer with the given colors, locations, orientation and an optional customBound.

    Declaration

    Swift

    func setupGradient(colors: [UIColor], locations: [NSNumber], orientation: GradientOrientation, customBounds: CGRect? = nil)

    Parameters

    colors

    An array of UIColor to be part of the gradient. The number of UIColors must match the number of NSNumbers.
    locations

    An array of NSNumber (between 0.0 - 1.0) specifying each point of the UIColors given. The number of NSNumbers must match the number of UIColors.
    orientation

    The orientation of the gradient; horizontal or vertical.
    customBounds

    An optional CGRect to specify the bounds of the gradient. By default, it is this UIView’s bounds.
