I'm trying to achieve a feature that allows adding a shadow to a transparent button. For this, I'm creating a layer that masks the shadows inside the view. However, my shadows are clipped on the left and upper sides but not clipped on the right and lower sides.
Here is how it looks (This is not a transparent button but they're also working fine except the shadow being clipped like this.):
And here is my code for achieving this:
private func applyShadow() {
layer.masksToBounds = false
if shouldApplyShadow && shadowLayer == nil {
shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer()
let shapePath = CGPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerWidth: cornerRadi, cornerHeight: cornerRadi, transform: nil)
shadowLayer.path = shapePath
shadowLayer.fillColor = backgroundColor?.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = shadowRadius ?? 8
shadowLayer.shadowColor = (shadowColor ?? .black).cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = shadowOffset ?? CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = shadowOpacity ?? 0.8
layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer!, at: 0)
/// If there's background color, there is no need to mask inner shadows.
if backgroundColor != .none && !(innerShadows ?? false) {
let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
maskLayer.path = { () -> UIBezierPath in
let path = UIBezierPath()
path.append(UIBezierPath(cgPath: shapePath))
path.append(UIBezierPath(rect: UIScreen.main.bounds))
path.usesEvenOddFillRule = true
return path
}().cgPath
maskLayer.fillRule = .evenOdd
shadowLayer.mask = maskLayer
}
}
}
I think that's something related to the Even-Odd Fill Rule algorithm, I'm not sure. But how can I overcome this clipping problem?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
This is what a transparent button with borders and text on it looks when shadow applied.. Which I don't want.
What it should look like this. No shadows inside but also a clear background color. (Except the clipped top and left sides):
I think a couple issues...
You are appending UIBezierPath(rect: UIScreen.main.bounds) to your path, but that puts the top-left corner at the top-left corner of the layer... which "clips" the top-left shadow.
If you DO have a background color, you'll need to clip those corners as well, or they will "bleed" outside the rounded corners.
Give this a try (only slightly modified). It's designated #IBDesignable so you can see how it looks in Storyboard / Interface Builder (I did not set any of the properties to inspectable -- I'll leave that up to you if you want to do so):
#IBDesignable
class MyRSButton: UIButton {
var shouldApplyShadow: Bool = true
var innerShadows: Bool?
var cornerRadi: CGFloat = 8.0
var shadowLayer: CAShapeLayer!
var shadowRadius: CGFloat?
var shadowColor: UIColor?
var shadowOffset: CGSize?
var shadowOpacity: Float?
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
applyShadow()
}
private func applyShadow() {
// needed to prevent background color from bleeding past
// the rounded corners
cornerRadi = bounds.size.height * 0.5
layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadi
layer.masksToBounds = false
if shouldApplyShadow && shadowLayer == nil {
shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer()
let shapePath = CGPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerWidth: cornerRadi, cornerHeight: cornerRadi, transform: nil)
shadowLayer.path = shapePath
shadowLayer.fillColor = backgroundColor?.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = shadowRadius ?? 8
shadowLayer.shadowColor = (shadowColor ?? .black).cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = shadowOffset ?? CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = shadowOpacity ?? 0.8
layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer!, at: 0)
/// If there's background color, there is no need to mask inner shadows.
if backgroundColor != .none && !(innerShadows ?? false) {
let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
maskLayer.path = { () -> UIBezierPath in
let path = UIBezierPath()
path.append(UIBezierPath(cgPath: shapePath))
// define a rect that is 80-pts wider and taller
// than the button... this will "expand" it from center
let r = bounds.insetBy(dx: -40, dy: -40)
path.append(UIBezierPath(rect: r))
path.usesEvenOddFillRule = true
return path
}().cgPath
maskLayer.fillRule = .evenOdd
shadowLayer.mask = maskLayer
}
}
}
}
Result:
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
makeRoundedCorners()
cellBackGroundView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
cellBackGroundView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 10, height: 10)
cellBackGroundView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1
cellBackGroundView.layer.shadowRadius = 4
cellBackGroundView.clipsToBounds = true
cellBackGroundView.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
I am trying above code but shadow is not showing, not getting what is the issue.
It is because you are applying rounded corner and shadow both to a single view.
You should apply the rounded corner to the first view, and shadow to another view which is the superview of the first view.
For example, If cellBackGroundView is the subView of cell. then You should apply the rounded corner to cellBackGroundView and the shadow to cell(Which is the superView of cellBackGroundView).
addShadowToView(view: cell, value: 3)
addCornerToView(view: cell.cellBackGroundView, value: 8)
Let me share my functions with you,
For Shadow,
func addShadowToView (view : UIView, value: CGFloat) {
view.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: value, height: value)
view.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0
view.layer.shadowRadius = 2
view.clipsToBounds = false
}
For Rounded Corner,
func addCornerToView (view : UIView, value: CGFloat) {
view.layer.cornerRadius = value
view.clipsToBounds = true
}
you can remove clipsToBounds = true attribute
self.shadowColor = color.cgColor
self.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 1.4)
self.shadowOpacity = opacity
self.shadowRadius = 0.0
self.masksToBounds = false
Here is what i use for shadows:
extension UIView {
func addShadow(color: UIColor, shadowRadius: CGFloat, opacity: Float) {
layer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
layer.shadowOpacity = opacity
layer.shadowOffset = .zero
layer.shadowRadius = shadowRadius
layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: bounds).cgPath
layer.shouldRasterize = true
layer.rasterizationScale = UIScreen.main.scale
}}
Usage:
view.addShadow(color: UIColor.black, shadowRadius: 4, opacity: 1)
You can try this one for collectionViewshadow
class CollectionViewCornerRound: UICollectionView {
var viewCornerRadius: CGFloat = 10 {
didSet {
layoutSubviews()
}
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
layer.shadowRadius = 2
layer.shadowOpacity = 0.3
layer.cornerRadius = viewCornerRadius
layer.masksToBounds = true
layer.shadowOffset = .zero
clipsToBounds = true
}
}
I'm trying to create a button with rounded corners and a drop shadow. No matter how I switch up, the button will not display correctly. I've tried masksToBounds = false and masksToBounds = true, but either the corner radius works and the shadow does not or the shadow works and the corner radius doesn't clip the corners of the button.
import UIKit
import QuartzCore
#IBDesignable
class Button : UIButton
{
#IBInspectable var masksToBounds: Bool = false {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var cornerRadius : CGFloat = 0 {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var borderWidth : CGFloat = 0 {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var borderColor : UIColor = UIColor.clearColor() {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var shadowColor : UIColor = UIColor.clearColor() {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var shadowOpacity: CGFloat = 0 {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var shadowRadius : CGFloat = 0 {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
#IBInspectable var shadowOffset : CGSize = CGSizeMake(0, 0) {didSet{updateLayerProperties()}}
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect)
{
updateLayerProperties()
}
func updateLayerProperties()
{
self.layer.masksToBounds = masksToBounds
self.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
self.layer.borderWidth = borderWidth
self.layer.borderColor = borderColor.CGColor
self.layer.shadowColor = shadowColor.CGColor
self.layer.shadowOpacity = CFloat(shadowOpacity)
self.layer.shadowRadius = shadowRadius
self.layer.shadowOffset = shadowOffset
}
}
The following Swift 5 / iOS 12 code shows how to set a subclass of UIButton that allows to create instances with rounded corners and shadow around it:
import UIKit
final class CustomButton: UIButton {
private var shadowLayer: CAShapeLayer!
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
if shadowLayer == nil {
shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shadowLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: 12).cgPath
shadowLayer.fillColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowColor = UIColor.darkGray.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 2.0, height: 2.0)
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = 0.8
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = 2
layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, at: 0)
//layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, below: nil) // also works
}
}
}
According to your needs, you may add a UIButton in your Storyboard and set its class to CustomButton or you may create an instance of CustomButton programmatically. The following UIViewController implementation shows how to create and use a CustomButton instance programmatically:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let button = CustomButton(type: .system)
button.setTitle("Button", for: .normal)
view.addSubview(button)
button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let horizontalConstraint = button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor)
let verticalConstraint = button.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor)
let widthConstraint = button.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100)
let heightConstraint = button.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100)
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([horizontalConstraint, verticalConstraint, widthConstraint, heightConstraint])
}
}
The previous code produces the image below in the iPhone simulator:
My custom button with some shadow and rounded corners, I use it directly within the Storyboard with no need to touch it programmatically.
Swift 4
class RoundedButtonWithShadow: UIButton {
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.layer.masksToBounds = false
self.layer.cornerRadius = self.frame.height/2
self.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
self.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds, cornerRadius: self.layer.cornerRadius).cgPath
self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 3.0)
self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
self.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0
}
}
To expand on Imanou's post, it's possible to programmatically add the shadow layer in the custom button class
#IBDesignable class CustomButton: UIButton {
var shadowAdded: Bool = false
#IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat = 0 {
didSet {
layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
layer.masksToBounds = cornerRadius > 0
}
}
override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
super.drawRect(rect)
if shadowAdded { return }
shadowAdded = true
let shadowLayer = UIView(frame: self.frame)
shadowLayer.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
shadowLayer.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.darkGrayColor().CGColor
shadowLayer.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: self.cornerRadius).CGPath
shadowLayer.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 1.0, height: 1.0)
shadowLayer.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
shadowLayer.layer.shadowRadius = 1
shadowLayer.layer.masksToBounds = true
shadowLayer.clipsToBounds = false
self.superview?.addSubview(shadowLayer)
self.superview?.bringSubviewToFront(self)
}
}
An alternative way to get more usable and consistent button.
Swift 2:
func getImageWithColor(color: UIColor, size: CGSize, cornerRadius:CGFloat) -> UIImage {
let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 1)
UIBezierPath(
roundedRect: rect,
cornerRadius: cornerRadius
).addClip()
color.setFill()
UIRectFill(rect)
let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
let button = UIButton(type: .Custom)
button.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 200, 50)
button.setTitle("My Button", forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.blackColor(), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
self.addSubview(button)
let image = getImageWithColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), size: button.frame.size, cornerRadius: 5)
button.setBackgroundImage(image, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.layer.shadowRadius = 5
button.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.blackColor().CGColor
button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1)
button.layer.masksToBounds = false
Swift 3:
func getImageWithColor(_ color: UIColor, size: CGSize, cornerRadius:CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
color.setFill()
UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).addClip()
color.setFill()
UIRectFill(rect)
let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
button.frame = CGRect(x:20, y:20, width:200, height:50)
button.setTitle("My Button", for: .normal)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.black, for: .normal)
self.addSubview(button)
if let image = getImageWithColor(UIColor.white, size: button.frame.size, cornerRadius: 5) {
button.setBackgroundImage(image, for: .normal)
}
button.layer.shadowRadius = 5
button.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width:0, height:1)
button.layer.masksToBounds = false
Swift 5 &
No need of "UIBezierPath"
view.layer.cornerRadius = 15
view.clipsToBounds = true
view.layer.masksToBounds = false
view.layer.shadowRadius = 7
view.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.6
view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 5)
view.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
Refactored this to support any view. Subclass your view from this and it should have rounded corners. If you add something like a UIVisualEffectView as a subview to this view you likely need to use the same rounded corners on that UIVisualEffectView or it won't have rounded corners.
/// Inspiration: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25475536/129202
class ViewWithRoundedcornersAndShadow: UIView {
private var theShadowLayer: CAShapeLayer?
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
if self.theShadowLayer == nil {
let rounding = CGFloat.init(22.0)
let shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer.init()
self.theShadowLayer = shadowLayer
shadowLayer.path = UIBezierPath.init(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: rounding).cgPath
shadowLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = CGFloat.init(3.0)
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = Float.init(0.2)
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = CGSize.init(width: 0.0, height: 4.0)
self.layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, at: 0)
}
}
}
Exact solution for 2020 syntax
import UIKit
class ColorAndShadowButton: UIButton {
override init(frame: CGRect) { super.init(frame: frame), common() }
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { super.init(coder: aDecoder), common() }
private func common() {
// UIButton is tricky: you MUST set the clear bg in bringup; NOT in layout
backgroundColor = .clear
clipsToBounds = false
layer.insertSublayer(colorAndShadow, below: layer)
}
lazy var colorAndShadow: CAShapeLayer = {
let s = CAShapeLayer()
// set your button color HERE (NOT on storyboard)
s.fillColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
// now set your shadow color/values
s.shadowColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
s.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 10)
s.shadowOpacity = 1
s.shadowRadius = 10
// now add the shadow
layer.insertSublayer(s, at: 0)
return s
}()
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
// you MUST layout these two EVERY layout cycle:
colorAndShadow.frame = bounds
colorAndShadow.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: 12).cgPath
}
}
Note that the very old top answer here is correct but has a critical error
Note that UIButton is unfortunately quite different from UIView in iOS.
Due to a strange behavior in iOS, you must set the background color (which of course must be clear in this case) in initialization, not in layout. You could just set it clear in storyboard (but you usually click it to be some solid color simply so you can see it when working in storyboard.)
In general combos of shadows/rounding are a real pain in iOS. Similar solutions:

To improve PiterPan's answer and show a real shadow (not just a background with no blur) with a circular button in Swift 3:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
myButton.layer.masksToBounds = false
myButton.layer.cornerRadius = myButton.frame.height/2
myButton.clipsToBounds = true
}
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
addShadowForRoundedButton(view: self.view, button: myButton, opacity: 0.5)
}
func addShadowForRoundedButton(view: UIView, button: UIButton, opacity: Float = 1) {
let shadowView = UIView()
shadowView.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
shadowView.layer.opacity = opacity
shadowView.layer.shadowRadius = 5
shadowView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.35
shadowView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
shadowView.layer.cornerRadius = button.bounds.size.width / 2
shadowView.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: button.frame.origin.x, y: button.frame.origin.y), size: CGSize(width: button.bounds.width, height: button.bounds.height))
self.view.addSubview(shadowView)
view.bringSubview(toFront: button)
}
Corner Radius with Shadow
Short and simple way !!!!!
extension CALayer {
func applyCornerRadiusShadow(
color: UIColor = .black,
alpha: Float = 0.5,
x: CGFloat = 0,
y: CGFloat = 2,
blur: CGFloat = 4,
spread: CGFloat = 0,
cornerRadiusValue: CGFloat = 0)
{
cornerRadius = cornerRadiusValue
shadowColor = color.cgColor
shadowOpacity = alpha
shadowOffset = CGSize(width: x, height: y)
shadowRadius = blur / 2.0
if spread == 0 {
shadowPath = nil
} else {
let dx = -spread
let rect = bounds.insetBy(dx: dx, dy: dx)
shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: rect).cgPath
}
}
Use of code
btn.layer.applyCornerRadiusShadow(color: .black,
alpha: 0.38,
x: 0, y: 3,
blur: 10,
spread: 0,
cornerRadiusValue: 24)
No need maskToBound
Please verify clipsToBounds is false.
OUTPUT
Extension to drop shadow and corner radius
extension UIView {
func dropShadow(color: UIColor, opacity: Float = 0.5, offSet: CGSize, shadowRadius: CGFloat = 1, scale: Bool = true, cornerRadius: CGFloat) {
let shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shadowLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath
shadowLayer.fillColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = offSet
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = opacity
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = shadowRadius
layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, at: 0)
}
}
Here is the solution that will work!
extension UIView {
func applyShadowWithCornerRadius(color:UIColor, opacity:Float, radius: CGFloat, edge:AIEdge, shadowSpace:CGFloat) {
var sizeOffset:CGSize = CGSize.zero
switch edge {
case .Top:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: -shadowSpace)
case .Left:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: -shadowSpace, height: 0)
case .Bottom:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: shadowSpace)
case .Right:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: shadowSpace, height: 0)
case .Top_Left:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: -shadowSpace, height: -shadowSpace)
case .Top_Right:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: shadowSpace, height: -shadowSpace)
case .Bottom_Left:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: -shadowSpace, height: shadowSpace)
case .Bottom_Right:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: shadowSpace, height: shadowSpace)
case .All:
sizeOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
case .None:
sizeOffset = CGSize.zero
}
self.layer.cornerRadius = self.frame.size.height / 2
self.layer.masksToBounds = true;
self.layer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
self.layer.shadowOpacity = opacity
self.layer.shadowOffset = sizeOffset
self.layer.shadowRadius = radius
self.layer.masksToBounds = false
self.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect:self.bounds, cornerRadius:self.layer.cornerRadius).cgPath
}
}
enum AIEdge:Int {
case
Top,
Left,
Bottom,
Right,
Top_Left,
Top_Right,
Bottom_Left,
Bottom_Right,
All,
None
}
Finally, to apply shadow with corner radius call as per below:
viewRounded.applyShadowWithCornerRadius(color: .gray, opacity: 1, radius: 15, edge: AIEdge.All, shadowSpace: 15)
Result Image
UPDATE: If you don't see the expected output then try calling the extension method from Main Thread, that will work for sure!
DispatchQueue.main.async {
viewRounded.applyShadowWithCornerRadius(color: .gray, opacity: 1, radius: 15, edge: AIEdge.All, shadowSpace: 15)
}
UIButton Extension
Many people have proposed using a custom class of UIButton which is totally fine. Just in case you want an extension, like me, here's one. Written in Swift 5.
extension UIButton {
/// Adds a shadow to the button, with a corner radius
/// - Parameters:
/// - corner: The corner radius to apply to the shadow and button
/// - color: The color of the shaodw
/// - opacity: The opacity of the shadow
/// - offset: The offset of the shadow
/// - radius: The radius of the shadow
func addShadow(corner: CGFloat = 20, color: UIColor = .black, opacity: Float = 0.3, offset: CGSize = CGSize(width: 0, height: 5), radius: CGFloat = 5) {
let shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer()
layer.cornerRadius = corner
shadowLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: corner).cgPath
shadowLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = offset
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = opacity
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = radius
layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, at: 0)
}
}
If somebody need add shadows to rounded buttons in Swift 3.0, here is a good method to do it.
func addShadowForRoundedButton(view: UIView, button: UIButton, shadowColor: UIColor, shadowOffset: CGSize, opacity: Float = 1) {
let shadowView = UIView()
shadowView.backgroundColor = shadowColor
shadowView.layer.opacity = opacity
shadowView.layer.cornerRadius = button.bounds.size.width / 2
shadowView.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: button.frame.origin.x + shadowOffset.width, y: button.frame.origin.y + shadowOffset.height), size: CGSize(width: button.bouds.width, height: button.bounds.height))
self.view.addSubview(shadowView)
view.bringSubview(toFront: button)
}
Use this method in func viewDidLayoutSubviews() as bellow:
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
addShadowForRoundedButton(view: self.view, button: button, shadowColor: .black, shadowOffset: CGSize(width: 2, height: 2), opacity: 0.5)
}
The effect of this method is:
You can create a protocol and conform it to you UIView, UIButton, Cell or whatever you want like that:
protocol RoundedShadowable: class {
var shadowLayer: CAShapeLayer? { get set }
var layer: CALayer { get }
var bounds: CGRect { get }
}
extension RoundedShadowable {
func applyShadowOnce(withCornerRadius cornerRadius: CGFloat, andFillColor fillColor: UIColor) {
if self.shadowLayer == nil {
let shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shadowLayer.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath
shadowLayer.fillColor = fillColor.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
shadowLayer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 2.0)
shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = 0.2
shadowLayer.shadowRadius = 3
self.layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, at: 0)
self.shadowLayer = shadowLayer
}
}
}
class RoundShadowView: UIView, RoundedShadowable {
var shadowLayer: CAShapeLayer?
private let cornerRadius: CGFloat
private let fillColor: UIColor
init(cornerRadius: CGFloat, fillColor: UIColor) {
self.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
self.fillColor = fillColor
super.init(frame: .zero)
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
self.applyShadowOnce(withCornerRadius: self.cornerRadius, andFillColor: self.fillColor)
}
}
class RoundShadowButton: UIButton, RoundedShadowable {
var shadowLayer: CAShapeLayer?
private let cornerRadius: CGFloat
private let fillColor: UIColor
init(cornerRadius: CGFloat, fillColor: UIColor) {
self.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
self.fillColor = fillColor
super.init(frame: .zero)
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
self.applyShadowOnce(withCornerRadius: self.cornerRadius, andFillColor: self.fillColor)
}
}
