Answer 1

Supporting solution by @mkz, by using function to reduce the code (Swift 4.2.1)

Added most important parameters to the function (note how to pass selector to a function), you may want to add more as per your need.

func makeCustomNavigationButton(imageName: String, action: Selector) -> UIBarButtonItem{

    let image = UIImage(named: imageName)!
    let btn: UIButton = UIButton(type: UIButton.ButtonType.custom)
    btn.setImage(image, for: .normal)
    btn.addTarget(self, action: action, for: .touchUpInside)
    btn.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30)
    let barBtn = UIBarButtonItem(customView: btn)

    return barBtn
}

How to call:

let search = self.makeCustomNavigationButton(imageName: "search", action: #selector(searchBtnPressed(_:)))
let clip = self.makeCustomNavigationButton(imageName: "clip", action: #selector(clipBtnPressed(_:)))
let pencil = self.makeCustomNavigationButton(imageName: "pencil", action: #selector(pencilBtnPressed(_:)))
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [search, clip, pencil]
