## What is it?

**SwiftGradients** gives you useful extensions for `UIViews` and `CALayer` classes to add beautiful color gradients.

## Installation

#### 1. Cocoapods

```ruby

pod 'SwiftGradients', '~> 1.0.0'

```

#### 2. Carthage

[Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

Add the following line to your `Cartfile` and follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#adding-frameworks-to-an-application).

```

github "rootstrap/SwiftGradients" ~> 1.0.0

```

#### 3. Swift Package Manager

- In XCode 11, go to File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency.

- Enter the repo URL (https://github.com/rootstrap/SwiftGradients) and click Next.

- Select the version rule desired (you can specify a version number, branch or commit) and click Next.

- Finally, select the target where you want to use the framework.

That should be it. **SwiftGradients** should appear in the navigation panel as a dependency and the framework will be linked automatically to your target.

**Note:** It is always recommended to lock your external libraries to a specific version.

## Usage

#### 1. Adding gradients to your subviews

```swift

let gradientLayer = view.addGradient(

  colors: [.blue, .green],

  direction: .topToBottom

)

```

#### 2. Customize options for your gradient

You can set a custom angle(measured in degrees and anti-clockwise), rather that one of the four predefined directions.

Also, you can provide the color stop locations for better accuracy.

```swift

let gradientLayer = view.addGradient(

  colors: [.blue, .green, .black],

  angle: 45

  locations: [0, 50, 75]

)

```

#### Voilà
