swift label only border left

Question

good morning together,

i have a tableview like this:

Example: in cell one i have got an red text label on the right side. left from it i include an image like a

Answer 1

These solutions worked for me, however I was using tableview rows and the height of the row was dynamically set based on how much content was in the rows.

For the above solutions I found that if the size of the row was dynamically increased because of the content within the row, the border's size didn't increase. So I had an incomplete border on rows that were larger than normal.

I came across this solution from @Debaprio B at this link (Oct 11, 2017 post): UIView set only side borders

His solution worked for me, and the border's sized changed appropriately when my row's size increased dynamically. I'm sharing @Debaprio's answer below for brevity:

---

public extension UIView {
// Border type and arbitrary tag values to identify UIView borders as subviews

public enum BorderType: Int {
case left = 20000
case right = 20001
case top = 20002
case bottom = 20003
}

public func addBorder(borderType: BorderType, width: CGFloat, color: UIColor {
// figure out frame and resizing based on border type
var autoresizingMask: UIViewAutoresizing
var layerFrame: CGRect

switch borderType {

case .left:
    layerFrame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: self.bounds.height)
    autoresizingMask = [ .flexibleHeight, .flexibleRightMargin ]
case .right:
    layerFrame = CGRect(x: self.bounds.width - width, y: 0, width: width, height: self.bounds.height)
    autoresizingMask = [ .flexibleHeight, .flexibleLeftMargin ]
case .top:
    layerFrame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.bounds.width, height: width)
    autoresizingMask = [ .flexibleWidth, .flexibleBottomMargin ]
case .bottom:
    layerFrame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.bounds.height - width, width: self.bounds.width, height: width)
    autoresizingMask = [ .flexibleWidth, .flexibleTopMargin ]
}

// look for the existing border in subviews
var newView: UIView?
for eachSubview in self.subviews {
    if eachSubview.tag == borderType.rawValue {
        newView = eachSubview
        break
    }
}
