BButton

BButton is a subclass of UIButton that looks like the bootstrap buttons.
It's really easy to use even if you're a beginner in Objective-C.
It has beautiful graphics for retina display.
You can customize it to the color you want in just one line of code.

Usage

Start by importing BButton.m and BButton.h to your Xcode project.

Use it with Interface Builder :

1. Create an UIButton in Interface Builder and change the class to BButton :
   

2. You can set the target and selector with Interface Builder just like you do with an UIButton.

Use it without Interface Builder :

1. Import the BButton class header :

    #import "BButton.h"
   

2. Create the BButton and add it to a visible view :

    BButton *btn = [[BButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(32.0, 20.0, 112.0, 40.0)];
    [btn setTitle:@"Login" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; // Set the button title
    [btn addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    btn.color = [UIColor purpleColor]; // Set purple color
    [self.view addSubview:btn];
    [btn release];
   

Example

With some random colors

Use with FontAwesome icons

With the BButton+FontAwesome category, you get to style your BButtons with FontAwesome icons. There are convenience class methods to setup new BButtons and instance methods to apply FontAwesomeness to existing BButtons. Use the instance methods on BButtons that you created in Interface Builder, it keeps the button's frame as well as color and font size if you don't specify those.

You can specify the icon by name, a color and a font size. Only the icon name is mandatory. To find the right icon name, you can refer to the FontAwesomeIcons.html in this repository. The icon names also get autocompleted in Xcode.

####Requirement:####

• You need the FontAwesome font, which you can get here: https://github.com/leberwurstsaft/FontAwesome-for-iOS (I had to fix the font to correctly align vertically)
• Add it to your project and make sure it gets copied in the 'Copy Bundle Resources' build phase.
• Edit Info.plist to include the provided font like so:
