易于使用的扩展swift 3

extension CALayer {
    func addGradienBorder(colors:[UIColor] = [UIColor.red,UIColor.blue], width:CGFloat = 1) {
        let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
        gradientLayer.frame =  CGRect(origin: .zero, size: self.bounds.size)
        gradientLayer.startPoint = CGPoint(x:0.0, y:0.5)
        gradientLayer.endPoint = CGPoint(x:1.0, y:0.5)
        gradientLayer.colors = colors.map({$0.cgColor})

        let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
        shapeLayer.lineWidth = width
        shapeLayer.path = UIBezierPath(rect: self.bounds).cgPath
        shapeLayer.fillColor = nil
        shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
        gradientLayer.mask = shapeLayer

        self.addSublayer(gradientLayer)
    }
}

用你的观点，例子

yourView.addGradienBorder(color: UIColor.black, opacity: 0.1, offset: CGSize(width:2 , height: 5), radius: 3, viewCornerRadius: 3.0)

有一个名为Chameleon (https://github.com/viccalexander/Chameleon)的库可以用于渐变颜色。它甚至有渐变的风格来实现。这就是如何在swift 4 podfile中添加它 “变色龙框架/Swift”，:git => 'https://github.com/ViccAlexander/Chameleon.git'，:branch => 'wip/swift4'

import ChameleonFramework

let colors:[UIColor] = [
  UIColor.flatPurpleColorDark(), 
  UIColor.flatWhiteColor()
]
view.backgroundColor = GradientColor(.TopToBottom, frame: view.frame, colors: colors)

只需要指定视图的框架，你想在其中显示渐变颜色。

let firstColor =  UIColor(red: 69/255, green: 90/255, blue: 195/255, alpha: 1.0).CGColor

 let secondColor = UIColor(red: 230/255, green: 44/255, blue: 75/255, alpha: 1.0).CGColor

    let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
    gradientLayer.colors = [ firstColor, secondColor]
    gradientLayer.locations = [ 0.0, 1.0]
    gradientLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 375, 64)// You can mention frame here

    self.view.layer.addSublayer(gradientLayer)

Xcode 11 | Swift 5

如果有人正在寻找一个快速和简单的方法来添加一个渐变视图:

extension UIView {
    
    func addGradient(colors: [UIColor] = [.blue, .white], locations: [NSNumber] = [0, 2], startPoint: CGPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.0), endPoint: CGPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 1.0), type: CAGradientLayerType = .axial){
        
        let gradient = CAGradientLayer()
        
        gradient.frame.size = self.frame.size
        gradient.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.0)

        // Iterates through the colors array and casts the individual elements to cgColor
        // Alternatively, one could use a CGColor Array in the first place or do this cast in a for-loop
        gradient.colors = colors.map{ $0.cgColor }
        
        gradient.locations = locations
        gradient.startPoint = startPoint
        gradient.endPoint = endPoint
        
        // Insert the new layer at the bottom-most position
        // This way we won't cover any other elements
        self.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
    }
}

关于如何使用扩展的例子:

// Testing
view.addGradient()
        
// Two Colors
view.addGradient(colors: [.init(rgb: 0x75BBDB), .black], locations: [0, 3])
        
// Full Blown
view.addGradient(colors: [.init(rgb: 0x75BBDB), .black], locations: [0, 3], startPoint: CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.5), endPoint: CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 2.0), type: .axial)

可选地，使用以下命令输入十六进制数字。init(rgb: 0x75BBDB)

extension UIColor {
   convenience init(red: Int, green: Int, blue: Int) {
       self.init(red: CGFloat(red) / 255.0, green: CGFloat(green) / 255.0, blue: CGFloat(blue) / 255.0, alpha: 1.0)
   }

   convenience init(rgb: Int) {
       self.init(
           red: (rgb >> 16) & 0xFF,
           green: (rgb >> 8) & 0xFF,
           blue: rgb & 0xFF
       )
   }
}

Xcode 11•Swift 5.1

你可以像下面这样设计你自己的渐变视图:

@IBDesignable
public class Gradient: UIView {
    @IBInspectable var startColor:   UIColor = .black { didSet { updateColors() }}
    @IBInspectable var endColor:     UIColor = .white { didSet { updateColors() }}
    @IBInspectable var startLocation: Double =   0.05 { didSet { updateLocations() }}
    @IBInspectable var endLocation:   Double =   0.95 { didSet { updateLocations() }}
    @IBInspectable var horizontalMode:  Bool =  false { didSet { updatePoints() }}
    @IBInspectable var diagonalMode:    Bool =  false { didSet { updatePoints() }}

    override public class var layerClass: AnyClass { CAGradientLayer.self }

    var gradientLayer: CAGradientLayer { layer as! CAGradientLayer }

    func updatePoints() {
        if horizontalMode {
            gradientLayer.startPoint = diagonalMode ? .init(x: 1, y: 0) : .init(x: 0, y: 0.5)
            gradientLayer.endPoint   = diagonalMode ? .init(x: 0, y: 1) : .init(x: 1, y: 0.5)
        } else {
            gradientLayer.startPoint = diagonalMode ? .init(x: 0, y: 0) : .init(x: 0.5, y: 0)
            gradientLayer.endPoint   = diagonalMode ? .init(x: 1, y: 1) : .init(x: 0.5, y: 1)
        }
    }
    func updateLocations() {
        gradientLayer.locations = [startLocation as NSNumber, endLocation as NSNumber]
    }
    func updateColors() {
        gradientLayer.colors = [startColor.cgColor, endColor.cgColor]
    }
    override public func traitCollectionDidChange(_ previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection?) {
        super.traitCollectionDidChange(previousTraitCollection)
        updatePoints()
        updateLocations()
        updateColors()
    }

}

在Swift3试试这个:

 func addGradient(){

    let gradient:CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
    gradient.frame.size = self.viewThatHoldsGradient.frame.size
    gradient.colors = [UIColor.white.cgColor,UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0).cgColor] //Or any colors
    self.viewThatHoldsGradient.layer.addSublayer(gradient)

}
