DesignableButton [![Language: Swift 4.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/Swift-4.0-orange.svg)](https://swift.org)

------------------------------

![alt demo](https://github.com/IdleHandsApps/DesignableButton/blob/files/DesButGif.gif)

DesignableButton is a UIButton subclass that uses a centralised and reusable styling. In InterfaceBuilder, drag and drop a DesignableButton, choose your style and its applied instantly in InterfaceBuilder

## Features

* One centralised class to define you main button styles so they can be reused

* Different styles for different button states: Normal/Selected/Disabled

* The centralised styles can be set in IB (no more IBOutlets needed for programatical styling)

* View the style in IB in realtime. Even changing button to selected state will update IB

* Individual buttons can override their centralised styles in IB

* Rounded corners and borders are easy with DesignableButton

* Buttons with an image above text are easy with DesignableButton

## How to install

Add this to your CocoaPods Podfile. *Note the IH prefix*

```

pod 'IHDesignableButton'

```

## How to use

Create an DesignableButton+Styles.swift extension file in your project

```swift

import UIKit

import IHDesignableButton // if DesignableButton is in CocoaPod

extension DesignableButton {

    

    override open func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {

        super.prepareForInterfaceBuilder()

        

        DesignableButton.setDesignableStyles(isInterfaceBuilder: true)

    }

    

    static func setDesignableStyles(isInterfaceBuilder: Bool = false) {

        

        // example style

        DesignableButton.setStyle(style: { (designableButton: DesignableButton) -> Void in

            if designableButton.isHighlighted || designableButton.isSelected {

                // replace this with your style for selected/highlighted states

                designableButton.setTitleColor(designableButton.customTextColor ?? UIColor.white, for: UIControlState())

                designableButton.backgroundColor = designableButton.selectedColor ?? UIColor.red

                designableButton.layer.borderColor = designableButton.selectedColor?.cgColor ?? UIColor.red.cgColor

                designableButton.layer.borderWidth = designableButton.borderWidth ?? 0

            } else if designableButton.isEnabled {

                // replace this with your style for the normal state

                designableButton.setTitleColor(designableButton.customTextColor ?? UIColor.white, for: UIControlState())

                designableButton.backgroundColor = designableButton.defaultColor ?? UIColor.blue

                designableButton.layer.borderColor = designableButton.defaultColor?.cgColor ?? UIColor.blue.cgColor

                designableButton.layer.borderWidth = designableButton.borderWidth ?? 0

            }

            else {

                // replace this with your style for the disabled state

                designableButton.setTitleColor(designableButton.customTextColor ?? UIColor.lightGray, for: UIControlState())

                designableButton.backgroundColor = designableButton.disabledColor ?? UIColor.lightGray()

                designableButton.layer.borderColor = designableButton.borderColor?.cgColor ??  UIColor.gray.cgColor

                designableButton.layer.borderWidth = designableButton.borderWidth ?? 1

            }

            

            // replace this with your style for all states

            designableButton.layer.cornerRadius = designableButton.cornerRadius ?? 12

            

            designableButton.setTitle(designableButton.titleLabel?.text, for: .normal)

            

        }, for: "primary") // this is the name/key of your style

    }

}

```

In the ```setDesignableStyles()``` method you can call ```DesignableButton.setStyle()``` to create a new style. Most projects will only need a few button styles

In you AppDelegate's ```application(_ , didFinishLaunchingWithOptions()``` call ```DesignableButton.setDesignableStyles()```

Now in Interface Builder, drag a UIButton onto a view

Change the class to ```DesignableButton``` and the module to ```IHDesignableButton```

Change the button type from ```System``` to ```Custom```

Set the Button Style to "primary" or any other button style you're created
