UIView changing its position in swift

Question

How do I make a UIView slide up with a touch of a button from its original position and them bring it back down with a touch of a button? Using Swift and Xcode 6.

Answer 1

I kinda combined the two most voted answers into one and updated to Swift 3. So basically created an extension that animates a view moving to a different position:

extension UIView {

    func slideX(x:CGFloat) {

        let yPosition = self.frame.origin.y

        let height = self.frame.height
        let width = self.frame.width

        UIView.animate(withDuration: 1.0, animations: {

            self.frame = CGRect(x: x, y: yPosition, width: width, height: height)

        })
    }
}
