Demo

Give UIButtonFlat a try without having to type a single line of code with the UIButtonFlat Demo.

Installation

Simply add UIButtonFlat via Swift Package Manager to your project... that's it!

Usage

You can choose to create a UIButtonFlat control in the same way that you would create a stock UIButton control, either via Storyboards, programmatically or through a mixture of the two.

Via Storyboards

1. Select the UIButton that you wish to use
2. Switch to the Identity Inspector
3. Update the UIButton's class to 'UIButtonFlat'
4. Switch to the Attributes Inspector
5. Switch Type to 'Custom'
6. You can find the configuration options under the Button Flat heading

Via Code

Import UIButtonFlat. Then create a UIButtonFlat control in the same way that you would create a UIButton control, except that instead of using UIButton, use the UIButtonFlat type. Because UIButtonFlat in an extension of UIButton, all of UIButton's functions will be inherited. Please note that if you are creating a UIButtonFlat from scratch and not connecting to a button that you've either fully or partially configured in a Storyboard, you will need to declare it's type as .custom like so:

let button: UIButtonFlat = UIButtonFlat(type: .custom)
