Question 1

How to change LGButton gradient color programmatically?

Accepted Answer

While designed for Interface Builder, you can modify gradient colors at runtime by accessing the LGButton instance and setting gradientStartColor and gradientEndColor properties, but this may require inspecting the source code for exact property names.

Question 2

Is LGButton better than custom UIButton subclasses for styling?

Accepted Answer

LGButton is faster for visual design in Interface Builder with no code, ideal for rapid prototyping. For complex programmatic logic or performance tuning, a custom subclass might offer more control and lighter weight.

Question 3

Can I use LGButton in SwiftUI projects?

Accepted Answer

Not directly, as it's UIKit-based. You'd need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable, which adds complexity and might negate the no-code benefits.

Question 4

How to handle button tap events with LGButton?

Accepted Answer

Since it's a UIControl subclass, use addTarget(_:action:for:) just like a standard UIButton to add touch event handlers, such as for .touchUpInside events.

Question 5

What if I set both icon and image on the same side in LGButton?

Accepted Answer

The README states that if an image source is set, icon properties on that side are ignored, so images take precedence over icons.

Question 6

Is LGButton compatible with Auto Layout?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as a UIView subclass, it works seamlessly with Auto Layout in Interface Builder or programmatically, allowing flexible UI constraints.

Question 7

How to update the icon dynamically in LGButton?

Accepted Answer

Change the iconString or iconFontName properties programmatically on the LGButton instance, but ensure the icon font is loaded and available from SwiftIconFont.
