Cocoa Touch: How To Change UIView's Border Color And Thickness?

Question

I saw in the inspector that I can change the background color, but I\'d like to also change the border color and thickness, is this possible?

Answer 1

Add following @IBInspectables in UIView extension

extension UIView {

  @IBInspectable var borderWidth: CGFloat {
    get {
      return layer.borderWidth
    }
    set(newValue) {
      layer.borderWidth = newValue
    }
  }

  @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor? {
    get {
      if let color = layer.borderColor {
        return UIColor(CGColor: color)
      }
      return nil
    }
    set(newValue) {
      layer.borderColor = newValue?.CGColor
    }
  }
}

And then you should be able to set borderColor and borderWidth attributes directly from Attribute inspector. See attached image
