How to create action for UIButton in UIKit - swift

Question

I just created a UIButton and I want to do some action when I click on it i don't know how to do it , here is my way to just create uibutton only !!!:
lazy var test: UIButton = {
let test = UIButton()
test.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
test.setTitle("See More Answers", for: .normal)
test.setTitleColor(.systemBlue, for: .normal)
return seeMoreBtn
}()

Answer 1

The modern way is to add the action as a UIAction.
lazy var test: UIButton = {
let test = UIButton()
test.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
test.setTitle("See More Answers", for: .normal)
test.setTitleColor(.systemBlue, for: .normal)
let action = UIAction { action in
print("howdy!")
}
test.addAction(action, for: .touchUpInside)
return test
}()
Nicer syntax can be achieved through an extension, as I demonstrate here.

Answer 2

lazy var test: UIButton = {
let test = UIButton()
test.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
test.setTitle("See More Answers", for: .normal)
test.setTitleColor(.systemBlue, for: .normal)
test.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.buttonPressedAction), for: .touchUpInside) // add target
return seeMoreBtn
}()
#objc func buttonPressedAction() {
//This function will get called when u press the button.
//include here what u want to do.
}

Answer 3

#objc func buttonAction() {
print("Button Tapped")
}
test.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAction(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)

Answer 4

I have given the example for create the custom button and the custom label and set constraint in coding. The below code also contains the programmatically button action.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 100,y: 400,width: 200,height: 60))
var label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 200, width: 200, height: 60))
var count : Int = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
button.setTitle("Click Button",for: .normal)
button.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
button.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
button.addTarget(self,action: #selector(buttonAction),for: .touchUpInside)
label.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 50)
label.backgroundColor = UIColor.gray
label.textAlignment = .center
self.view.addSubview(button)
self.view.addSubview(label)
}
#objc
func buttonAction() {
self.count += 1
self.label.text = "\(count)"
}
}
Output :-
Value of label increases when the button is click.
