How to round the corners of a UIView

All UIView subclasses have the ability to round their corners thanks to their underlying CALayer – that's the bit that handles the actual drawing of your views. To round the corners of a view, use this code:

yourView.layer.cornerRadius = 10

The number you specify is how far the rounding should go, measured in points. So if you have a view that's 100x100 points and give it a cornerRadius property of 50, it will look like a circle.
Note that some types of view don't have clipsToBounds enabled by default, which means their corners will not round until you enable this property.

Alamofire vs URLSession

Alamofire vs URLSession: a comparison for networking in Swift Alamofire and URLSession both help you to make network requests in Swift. The URLSession API is part of the foundation framework, whereas Alamofire needs to be added as an external dependency. Many developers doubt whether it’s needed to include an extra dependency on something basic like networking in Swift. In the end, it’s perfectly doable to implement a networking layer with the great URLSession API’s which are available nowadays. This blog post is here to compare both frameworks and to find out when to add Alamofire as an external dependency.

Swift Tool Belt, Part 1: Adding a Border, Corner Radius, and Shadow to a UIView with Interface Builder

During my iOS work, I’ve assembled a set of code that I bring with me on every iOS project. I’m not talking about large frameworks or CocoaPods here. These are smaller Swift extensions or control overrides that are applicable to many projects. I think of them as my tool belt. In this post, I’ll show you an extension that will add a border, a corner radius, and a shadow to any UIView, UIButton, or UILabel and allow you to preview what it will look like in Interface Builder. Back in 2014, I wrote a blog post on Expanding User-Defined Runtime Attributes in Xcode where I added a border, corner radius, and shadow to a UIView using Interface Builder’s user-defined runtime attributes. This solution had no type checking—you had to type the property you wanted to modify by hand and often had to look up what it was called. You also had to run your project in order to see the effect of the runtime attribute. Starting with Xcode 6 , there is a new mech...

Frame vs Bounds in iOS

This article is a repost of an answer I wrote on Stack Overflow . Short description frame = a view’s location and size using the parent view’s coordinate system ( important for placing the view in the parent) bounds = a view’s location and size using its own coordinate system (important for placing the view’s content or subviews within itself) Details To help me remember frame , I think of a picture frame on a wall . The picture frame is like the border of a view. I can hang the picture anywhere I want on the wall. In the same way, I can put a view anywhere I want inside a parent view (also called a superview). The parent view is like the wall. The origin of the coordinate system in iOS is the top left. We can put our view at the origin of the superview by setting the view frame’s x-y coordinates to (0, 0), which is like hanging our picture in the very top left corner of the wall. To move it right, increase x, to move it down increase y. To help me remember bound...
