Answer 1

You can use this subclass of UIButton to customize UIButton as per your needs.

visit this github repo for reference

class RoundedRectButton: UIButton {

    var selectedState: Bool = false

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        layer.borderWidth = 2 / UIScreen.main.nativeScale
        layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
        contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5)
    }


    override func layoutSubviews(){
        super.layoutSubviews()
        layer.cornerRadius = frame.height / 2
        backgroundColor = selectedState ? UIColor.white : UIColor.clear
        self.titleLabel?.textColor = selectedState ? UIColor.green : UIColor.white
    }

    override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
        selectedState = !selectedState
        self.layoutSubviews()
    }
}

To do this job in storyboard (Interface Builder Inspector)

With help of IBDesignable, we can add more options to Interface Builder Inspector for UIButton and tweak them on storyboard. First, add the following code to your project.

@IBDesignable extension UIButton {

    @IBInspectable var borderWidth: CGFloat {
        set {
            layer.borderWidth = newValue
        }
        get {
            return layer.borderWidth
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
        set {
            layer.cornerRadius = newValue
        }
        get {
            return layer.cornerRadius
        }
    }

    @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor? {
        set {
            guard let uiColor = newValue else { return }
            layer.borderColor = uiColor.cgColor
        }
        get {
            guard let color = layer.borderColor else { return nil }
            return UIColor(cgColor: color)
        }
    }
}

Then simply set the attributes for buttons on storyboard.

Based on @returntrue answer I managed to implement it in Interface Builder.

To get round corners button using Interface Builder add a Key Path = "layer.cornerRadius" with Type = "Number" and Value = "10" (or other value as required) in the "User Defined RunTime Attribute" of the Identity Inspector of the button.

Answer 4

@IBOutlet weak var button: UIButton!

...

I think for radius just enough this parameter:

button.layer.cornerRadius = 5

Answer 5

It is globally method for rounded border of UIButton

class func setRoundedBorderButton(btn:UIButton)
{
   btn.layer.cornerRadius = btn.frame.size.height/2
   btn.layer.borderWidth = 0.5
   btn.layer.borderColor = UIColor.darkGray.cgColor
}

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class RoundedButton: UIButton {
    
    @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat = 8
    @IBInspectable var borderColor: UIColor? = .lightGray
    
    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
        layer.masksToBounds = true
        layer.borderWidth = 1
        layer.borderColor = borderColor?.cgColor
        
    }
    
    
}
