Bordered UITextView

Question

I want to have a thin gray border around a UITextView. I have gone through the Apple documentation but couldn\'t find any property there. Please help.

Answer 1

I believe the above answers are for the previous versions of Swift. I Googled a bit and the below code works for Swift 4. Just sharing it for whoever it may benefit.

self.textViewName.layer.borderColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
self.textViewName.layer.borderWidth = 1.0
self.textViewName.layer.cornerRadius = 8

Happy Coding!

Answer 2

I solved this problem in storyboard by putting a fully disabled UIButton behind the UITextView and making the background color of the UITextView clearColor. This works without requiring extra code or packages.
