Is there a way to make gradient background color in the interface builder?

Question

For my application I\'m using a TableView and using customized UITableViewCells.

I customized my cells via interface builder, not programmatically. Is there a way to als

answer by etayluz works fine but I added a couple changes:

1. Gradient size defined by own layer bounds, not the superview.

2. Remove Gradient layer on every draw, so that it does not keep drawing and adding a new layer when redraw is necessary (for instance by calling .setNeedsDisplay() on rotation).

   @IBDesignable final class MFGradientView: UIView {
   
       @IBInspectable var startColor: UIColor = UIColor.clear
       @IBInspectable var endColor: UIColor = UIColor.clear
   
       override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
          layer.sublayers?.first?.removeFromSuperlayer()
   
          let gradient: CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
          gradient.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: self.bounds.size)
          gradient.colors = [startColor.cgColor, endColor.cgColor]
          layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
       }
   }
