Swift Tutorial - Custom UIButton Class (Reusable)

In today's beginner Swift tutorial I'll be explaining how to create a custom UIButton subclass so we can clean up those view controllers and make the custom UIButton reusable. I show you how to use this both programmatically and via Interface Builder (storyboard). This tutorial is in Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.

Love the way you teach more advanced topics so that even a very junior dev can understand and keep up. As always, Thank you sir.

I like your coding presentation style. Its very neat and elegant by aligned, spaced, point-to-point, etc... will keep clear in understanding the story without any comment on the screen. Thanks for the coding discipline tips along with tech tips.

I...was...just...searching for this. From your last 3-5 videos I wanted to create a custom Button and Label for myself and now I know the UIButton part. at least. Also option drag to select multiple lines was new to me too Thanks🙏🏻

This tutorial is really useful to understand more about classes and buttons. Thanks for the clear explanations!

Great video! Nice to see the two methods side by side. Thanks!

Love the bite size tutorials you’re throwing out.

Also just to add. You can place @IBDesignable into this custom class and you just need to override drawrect() which I believe you already did and you will see the changes in your story board once your button has been changed to the custom class in the inspector.

Keep up the good work Sean!

Thank you Sean. You really help me to get a grip on the iOs development with your lesson.

As always, thanks for the tutorial, can't wait to get the point where I can implement design elements into my project!

Just want to point out how nice and clean your code is especially in Swift. Well aligned and indentation lol.

12:38 No need to create IBOutlet for the button. Just sender.shake() will do the job. Great tutorial.

Hey Sean, I really enjoy your tutorials, they're incredibly useful! I was wondering if you could make a dedicated video for ViewControllers (eg: Table, Page, Split etc)? Just a basic overview about ViewControllers like how they work, and when are they suggested to use.

Super like! I’m all about custom objects!!!

Hey Sean! Thanks for the great tutorial. Could you please do a tutorial on advanced refactoring in the future? Thank you!

When would you use an class as opposed to an extension? Thanks keep up the good work, you’ve been delivering nice tutorials very rapidly
