Set Background Gradient on Button in Swift

Question

I have no idea how to set the background gradient on a button (without making the background gradient an image). This is so different from Android.

Here\'s a class I

Answer 1

Here, I have taken one UIView and add button in it.

     @IBOutlet weak var btnCenter: UIButton!
     @IBOutlet weak var viewCenter: UIView!

    // Create a gradient layer
    let gradient = CAGradientLayer()

    // gradient colors in order which they will visually appear
    gradient.colors = [UIColor.yello.cgColor, UIColor.blue.cgColor]

    // Gradient from left to right
    gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.5)
    gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.5)

    // set the gradient layer to the same size as the view
    gradient.frame = viewCenter.bounds

    // add the gradient layer to the views layer for rendering
    viewCenter.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)

    // Tha magic! Set the button as the views mask
    viewCenter.mask = btnCenter

    //Set corner Radius and border Width of button
    btnCenter.layer.cornerRadius =  btnCenter.frame.size.height / 2
    btnCenter.layer.borderWidth = 5.0
