Swift version: 5.6
All UIView
subclasses have a built-in way to draw a border around them using their underlying CALayer
. For example, to draw a 10-point red border around a view, you'd use this:
yourView.layer.borderWidth = 10
yourView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
Note that you need to use the cgColor
property of your UIColor
in order for this to work. Adding a border to a view even works if you also round the corners of your view – it's very flexible!
