UIView with shadow, rounded corners and custom drawRect

Question

I have to create a custom UIView that will have round corners, a border, a shadow and its drawRect() method is overridden to provide custom drawing

Answer 1

I use this extension to UIView:

Import UIKit

extension UIView {

    /// A property that accesses the backing layer's opacity.
    @IBInspectable
    open var opacity: Float {
        get {
            return layer.opacity
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.opacity = value
        }
    }

    /// A property that accesses the backing layer's shadow
    @IBInspectable
    open var shadowColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            guard let v = layer.shadowColor else {
                return nil
            }

            return UIColor(cgColor: v)
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.shadowColor = value?.cgColor
        }
    }

    /// A property that accesses the backing layer's shadowOffset.
    @IBInspectable
    open var shadowOffset: CGSize {
        get {
            return layer.shadowOffset
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.shadowOffset = value
        }
    }

    /// A property that accesses the backing layer's shadowOpacity.
    @IBInspectable
    open var shadowOpacity: Float {
        get {
            return layer.shadowOpacity
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.shadowOpacity = value
        }
    }

    /// A property that accesses the backing layer's shadowRadius.
    @IBInspectable
    open var shadowRadius: CGFloat {
        get {
            return layer.shadowRadius
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.shadowRadius = value
        }
    }

    /// A property that accesses the backing layer's shadowPath.
    @IBInspectable
    open var shadowPath: CGPath? {
        get {
            return layer.shadowPath
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.shadowPath = value
        }
    }


    /// A property that accesses the layer.cornerRadius.
    @IBInspectable
    open var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
        get {
            return layer.cornerRadius
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.cornerRadius = value
        }
    }


    /// A property that accesses the layer.borderWith.
    @IBInspectable
    open var borderWidth: CGFloat {
        get {
            return layer.borderWidth
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.borderWidth = value
        }
    }

    /// A property that accesses the layer.borderColor property.
    @IBInspectable
    open var borderColor: UIColor? {
        get {
            guard let v = layer.borderColor else {
                return nil
            }
            return UIColor(cgColor: v)
        }
        set(value) {
            layer.borderColor = value?.cgColor
        }
    }
}
