This question was originally asked for the objective-c programming language. At the time of writing, swift didn\'t even exist yet.

Question

Is it po

Answer 1

Based on ArtOfWarfare's solution (which is really awesome) I've build the UIView category without C-functions.

Usage examples:

[self setFrameWidth:50];
self.frameWidth = 50;
self.frameWidth += 50;
self.frameWidth = otherView.frameWidth; // as opposed to self.frameWidth = otherView.frame.size.width;

Header file UIView+easy_frame.h:

@interface UIView (easy_frame)

- (void) setFrameWidth:(CGFloat)width;
- (void) setFrameHeight:(CGFloat)height;
- (void) setFrameX:(CGFloat)x;
- (void) setFrameY:(CGFloat)y;

- (CGFloat) frameWidth;
- (CGFloat) frameHeight;
- (CGFloat) frameX;
- (CGFloat) frameY;

Implementation file UIView+easy_frame.m:

#import "UIView+easy_frame.h"
@implementation UIView (easy_frame)

# pragma mark - Setters

- (void) setFrameWidth:(CGFloat)width
{
  self.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x,
                          self.frame.origin.y,
                          width,
                          self.frame.size.height);
}

- (void) setFrameHeight:(CGFloat)height
{
  self.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x,
                          self.frame.origin.y,
                          self.frame.size.width,
                          height);
}

- (void) setFrameX:(CGFloat)x
{
  self.frame = CGRectMake(x,
                          self.frame.origin.y,
                          self.frame.size.width,
                          self.frame.size.height);
}

- (void) setFrameY:(CGFloat)y
{
  self.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x,
                          y,
                          self.frame.size.width,
                          self.frame.size.height);
}

# pragma mark - Getters

- (CGFloat) frameWidth
{
  return self.frame.size.width;
}

- (CGFloat) frameHeight
{
  return self.frame.size.height;
}

- (CGFloat) frameX
{
  return self.frame.origin.x;
}

- (CGFloat) frameY
{
  return self.frame.origin.y;
}
