这段代码将与Swift 3.0一起工作

class GradientView: UIView {

    override open class var layerClass: AnyClass {
        get{
            return CAGradientLayer.classForCoder()
        }
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        let gradientLayer = self.layer as! CAGradientLayer
        let color1 = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.1).cgColor as CGColor
        let color2 = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.9).cgColor as CGColor
        gradientLayer.locations = [0.60, 1.0]
        gradientLayer.colors = [color2, color1]
    }
}

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)

很容易

    // MARK: - Gradient
extension CAGradientLayer {
    enum Point {
        case topLeft
        case centerLeft
        case bottomLeft
        case topCenter
        case center
        case bottomCenter
        case topRight
        case centerRight
        case bottomRight
        var point: CGPoint {
            switch self {
            case .topLeft:
                return CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
            case .centerLeft:
                return CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0.5)
            case .bottomLeft:
                return CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1.0)
            case .topCenter:
                return CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0)
            case .center:
                return CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
            case .bottomCenter:
                return CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 1.0)
            case .topRight:
                return CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.0)
            case .centerRight:
                return CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.5)
            case .bottomRight:
                return CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 1.0)
            }
        }
    }
    convenience init(start: Point, end: Point, colors: [CGColor], type: CAGradientLayerType) {
        self.init()
        self.startPoint = start.point
        self.endPoint = end.point
        self.colors = colors
        self.locations = (0..<colors.count).map(NSNumber.init)
        self.type = type
    }
}

像这样使用:-

let fistColor = UIColor.white
let lastColor = UIColor.black
let gradient = CAGradientLayer(start: .topLeft, end: .topRight, colors: [fistColor.cgColor, lastColor.cgColor], type: .radial)
gradient.frame = yourView.bounds
yourView.layer.addSublayer(gradient)

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()
    }

}

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)

我想添加一个渐变到一个视图，然后使用自动布局锚定它。

    class GradientView: UIView {

    private let gradient: CAGradientLayer = {
        let layer = CAGradientLayer()
        let topColor: UIColor = UIColor(red:0.98, green:0.96, blue:0.93, alpha:0.5)
        let bottomColor: UIColor = UIColor.white
        layer.colors = [topColor.cgColor, bottomColor.cgColor]
        layer.locations = [0,1]
        return layer
    }()

    init() {
        super.init(frame: .zero)
        gradient.frame = frame
        layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        gradient.frame = bounds

    }
}
