How to make a dashed line in swift?

You create Dashed Lines the same way as Objective-C, except that you'll use Swift.

Here is how you do it using UIBezierPath:

let  path = UIBezierPath()

let  p0 = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.minX, y: self.bounds.midY)
path.move(to: p0)

let  p1 = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.maxX, y: self.bounds.midY)
path.addLine(to: p1)

let  dashes: [ CGFloat ] = [ 16.0, 32.0 ]
path.setLineDash(dashes, count: dashes.count, phase: 0.0)

path.lineWidth = 8.0
path.lineCapStyle = .butt
UIColor.magenta.set()
path.stroke()

Here is how to draw Dotted Lines using UIBezierPath:

let  path = UIBezierPath()

let  p0 = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMinX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds))
path.moveToPoint(p0)

let  p1 = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMaxX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds))
path.addLineToPoint(p1)

let  dashes: [ CGFloat ] = [ 0.0, 16.0 ]
path.setLineDash(dashes, count: dashes.count, phase: 0.0)
path.lineWidth = 8.0
path.lineCapStyle = .Round
UIColor.magentaColor().set()
path.stroke()

Here is how to draw Dashed Lines Using CGContext:

let  context: CGContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!

let  p0 = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMinX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds))
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, p0.x, p0.y)

let  p1 = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMaxX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds))
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, p1.x, p1.y)

let  dashes: [ CGFloat ] = [ 16.0, 32.0 ]
CGContextSetLineDash(context, 0.0, dashes, dashes.count)

CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 8.0)
CGContextSetLineCap(context, .Butt)
UIColor.blueColor().set()
CGContextStrokePath(context)

By Using Custom Class inherited from UIView also supports Storyboard.

All you need to do is make a view in storyboard assign class to that view and see the magic in storyboard.

@IBDesignable
class DashedLineView : UIView {
    @IBInspectable var perDashLength: CGFloat = 2.0
    @IBInspectable var spaceBetweenDash: CGFloat = 2.0
    @IBInspectable var dashColor: UIColor = UIColor.lightGray


    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        super.draw(rect)
        let  path = UIBezierPath()
        if height > width {
            let  p0 = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.midX, y: self.bounds.minY)
            path.move(to: p0)

            let  p1 = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.midX, y: self.bounds.maxY)
            path.addLine(to: p1)
            path.lineWidth = width

        } else {
            let  p0 = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.minX, y: self.bounds.midY)
            path.move(to: p0)

            let  p1 = CGPoint(x: self.bounds.maxX, y: self.bounds.midY)
            path.addLine(to: p1)
            path.lineWidth = height
        }

        let  dashes: [ CGFloat ] = [ perDashLength, spaceBetweenDash ]
        path.setLineDash(dashes, count: dashes.count, phase: 0.0)

        path.lineCapStyle = .butt
        dashColor.set()
        path.stroke()
    }

    private var width : CGFloat {
        return self.bounds.width
    }

    private var height : CGFloat {
        return self.bounds.height
    }
}

Swift 4

@IBOutlet var dashedView: UIView!

func drawDottedLine(start p0: CGPoint, end p1: CGPoint, view: UIView) {
    let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
    shapeLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.lightGray.cgColor
    shapeLayer.lineWidth = 1
    shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [7, 3] // 7 is the length of dash, 3 is length of the gap.

    let path = CGMutablePath()
    path.addLines(between: [p0, p1])
    shapeLayer.path = path
    view.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
}

Call function

drawDottedLine(start: CGPoint(x: dashedView.bounds.minX, y: dashedView.bounds.minY), end: CGPoint(x: dashedView.bounds.maxX, y: dashedView.bounds.minY), view: dashedView)

With the above you will have a straight line, you can also change points as you wish, for example if you change the end point's y from dashedView.bounds.minY to dashedView.bounds.maxY you will have diagonal.

If you will use it in a subclass of UIView you won't have the outlet so you will use it with self instead.
