Swift 4.2 with UILabel extension and @IBInspectable

extension UILabel {
@IBInspectable var letterSpacing: CGFloat {
    get {
        var range:NSRange = NSMakeRange(0, self.text?.count ?? 0)
        let nr = self.attributedText?.attribute(NSAttributedString.Key.kern, at: 0, effectiveRange: &range) as! NSNumber
        return CGFloat(truncating: nr)
    }

    set {
        let range:NSRange = NSMakeRange(0, self.text?.count ?? 0)

        let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: self.text ?? "")
        attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.kern, value: newValue, range: range)
        self.attributedText = attributedString
    }
}

}
