One sided borders to any UIView

Step 1 –  Create view extension 

Create new file – UIView+Extension.swift

import Foundation
import UIKit

extension UIView {
    
    func addBorderTop(size: CGFloat, color: UIColor) {
        addBorderUtility(x: 0, y: 0, width: frame.width, height: size, color: color)
    }
    func addBorderBottom(size: CGFloat, color: UIColor) {
        addBorderUtility(x: 0, y: frame.height - size, width: frame.width, height: size, color: color)
    }
    func addBorderLeft(size: CGFloat, color: UIColor) {
        addBorderUtility(x: 0, y: 0, width: size, height: frame.height, color: color)
        
    }
    func addBorderRight(size: CGFloat, color: UIColor) {
        addBorderUtility(x: frame.width - size, y: 0, width: size, height: frame.height, color: color)
    }
    private func addBorderUtility(x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat, width: CGFloat, height: CGFloat, color: UIColor) {
        let border = CALayer()
        border.backgroundColor = color.cgColor
        border.frame = CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height)
        layer.addSublayer(border)
    }
}

Step 2 – Call extension method wherever required 

For example:

btn.addBorderLeft(size: 5, color: UIColor.red)

lbl.addBorderTop(size: 5, color: UIColor.red)
