Swift 4

• You can set the image and text together as a attribute text and you can do this by implementing below code:
• here i have customised function in which you can pass the title string and button image it will returned you an attributed text and you can set on UIButton/UILabel title as a attributed title/text.

- if you want to display an image prefix with title

func AttributedTextwithImagePrefix(AttributeImage : UIImage , AttributedText : String , buttonBound : UIButton) -> NSMutableAttributedString
{
    let fullString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "   ")
    let image1Attachment = NSTextAttachment()
    image1Attachment.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: ((buttonBound.titleLabel?.font.capHeight)! - AttributeImage.size.height).rounded() / 2, width: AttributeImage.size.width, height: AttributeImage.size.height)
    image1Attachment.image = AttributeImage
    let image1String = NSAttributedString(attachment: image1Attachment)
    fullString.append(image1String)
    fullString.append(NSAttributedString(string: "  " + AttributedText))
    return fullString
}

this is how you can use this :

self.btnprefix.setAttributedTitle(AttributedTextwithImagePrefix(AttributeImage: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "avtar"), AttributedText: " prefix avtar", buttonBound: self.prefix), for: .normal)

- if you want to display an image suffix with title

func AttributedTextwithImageSuffix(AttributeImage : UIImage , AttributedText : String , buttonBound : UIButton) -> NSMutableAttributedString
{
    let fullString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: AttributedText + "  ")
    let image1Attachment = NSTextAttachment()
    image1Attachment.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: ((buttonBound.titleLabel?.font.capHeight)! - AttributeImage.size.height).rounded() / 2, width: AttributeImage.size.width, height: AttributeImage.size.height)
    image1Attachment.image = AttributeImage
    let image1String = NSAttributedString(attachment: image1Attachment)
    fullString.append(image1String)
    fullString.append(NSAttributedString(string: ""))
    return fullString
}

this is how you can use this :

self.btnsuffix.setAttributedTitle(AttributedTextwithImageSuffix(AttributeImage: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "avtar"), AttributedText: " suffix avtar", buttonBound: self.btnsuffix), for: .normal)

OUTPUT WILL BE
