How to set cornerRadius for only top-left and top-right corner of a UIView?

cocoa-touch, cornerradius, ios, uiview

Solution

Pay attention to the fact that if you have layout constraints attached to it, you must refresh this as follows in your UIView subclass:

override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    roundCorners(corners: [.topLeft, .topRight], radius: 3.0)
}

If you don't do that it won't show up.

And to round corners, use the extension:

extension UIView {
   func roundCorners(corners: UIRectCorner, radius: CGFloat) {
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, byRoundingCorners: corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
        let mask = CAShapeLayer()
        mask.path = path.cgPath
        layer.mask = mask
    }
}

Additional view controller case: Whether you can't or wouldn't want to subclass a view, you can still round a view. Do it from its view controller by overriding the `viewWillLayoutSubviews()` function, as follows:

class MyVC: UIViewController {
    /// The view to round the top-left and top-right hand corners
    let theView: UIView = {
        let v = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 200, height: 200))
        v.backgroundColor = .red
        return v
    }()
    
    override func loadView() {
        super.loadView()
        view.addSubview(theView)
    }
    
    override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
        super.viewWillLayoutSubviews()

        // Call the roundCorners() func right there.
        theView.roundCorners(corners: [.topLeft, .topRight], radius: 30)
    }
}
