Make user defined attributes apply the CGColor datatype

suggest change

By default, Interface Builder doesn’t accept the CGColor datatype, so to allow adding a CGColor using user defined attributes in interface builder; one may want to use an extension like this:

Swift Extension :

extension CALayer {
    func borderUIColor() -> UIColor? {
        return borderColor != nil ? UIColor(CGColor: borderColor!) : nil
    }
    
    func setBorderUIColor(color: UIColor) {
        borderColor = color.CGColor
    }
}

The new user defined attribute (borderUIColor) will be recognized and applied without problems.

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.

UIColor:

* Creating a UIColor

* Creating a UIColor from hexadecimal number or string

* Color with Alpha component

* Undocumented Methods

* UIColor from an image pattern

* Make user defined attributes apply the CGColor datatype

* Lighter and Darker Shade of a given UIColor

* Adjusted Brightness of Color from UIColor
