Swift 5 You can use a UIView extension so that you can add bottom border to any view  extension UIView        func addBottomLine width  CGFloat  color  UIColor            let lineView  UIView                 let view   UIView               view translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints   false             view backgroundColor   color             return view                     addSubview lineView          NSLayoutConstraint activate               lineView heightAnchor constraint equalToConstant  width               lineView leadingAnchor constraint equalTo  leadingAnchor               lineView trailingAnchor constraint equalTo  trailingAnchor               lineView bottomAnchor constraint equalTo  bottomAnchor

For View    Most Recommended  It works for all type of UIView subclass  view  textfiled  label  etc     using UIView extension  It is more simple and convenient  But the only condition is the view must contain an auto layout   extension UIView       enum Line Position           case top         case bottom            func addLine position   Line Position  color  UIColor  height  Double            let lineView   UIView           lineView backgroundColor   color         lineView translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints   false    This is important          self addSubview lineView           let metrics     width    NSNumber value  height           let views     lineView    lineView          self addConstraints NSLayoutConstraint constraints withVisualFormat   H   lineView     options NSLayoutConstraint FormatOptions rawValue  0   metrics metrics  views views            switch position           case  top              self addConstraints NSLayoutConstraint constraints withVisualFormat   V   lineView width     options NSLayoutConstraint FormatOptions rawValue  0   metrics metrics  views views               break         case  bottom              self addConstraints NSLayoutConstraint constraints withVisualFormat   V  lineView width      options NSLayoutConstraint FormatOptions rawValue  0   metrics metrics  views views               break                     How to use      UILabel self lblDescription addLine position   bottom  color  UIColor blue  height  1 0     and     UITextField self txtArea addLine position   bottom  color  UIColor red  height  1 0

None of these solutions really met my expectations  I wanted to subclass the TextField since I don t want to set the border manually all the time  I also wanted to change the border color e g  for an error  So here s my solution with Anchors   class CustomTextField  UITextField        var bottomBorder   UIView        override func awakeFromNib                     Setup Bottom-Border              self translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints   false              bottomBorder   UIView init frame  CGRect x  0  y  0  width  0  height  0               bottomBorder backgroundColor   UIColor rgb  0xE2DCD1     Set Border-Color             bottomBorder translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints   false              addSubview bottomBorder               bottomBorder bottomAnchor constraint equalTo  bottomAnchor  isActive   true             bottomBorder leftAnchor constraint equalTo  leftAnchor  isActive   true             bottomBorder rightAnchor constraint equalTo  rightAnchor  isActive   true             bottomBorder heightAnchor constraint equalToConstant  1  isActive   true    Set Border-Strength            ---- Optional ----  To change the color add sth like this to the CustomTextField Class    IBInspectable var hasError  Bool   false       didSet            if  hasError                 bottomBorder backgroundColor   UIColor red            else                bottomBorder backgroundColor   UIColor rgb  0xE2DCD1                        And to trigger the Error call this after you created an instance of CustomTextField  textField hasError    textField hasError     Hope it helps someone

I have looked at each of these solutions that also seem to work with one issue  Dark Mode and the background setting  The Background setting of the UITextField must match the background of the parent view or no line appears  So this will work on light mode To get to work in dark mode change the background color to black and it works Exclude back color and the line does not appear  let field   UITextField    field backgroundColor   UIColor white field bottomBorderColor   UIColor red   This ended up being the best solution for me  extension UITextField        func addPadding             let paddingView   UIView frame  CGRect x 0  y 0  width  10  height  self frame height           self leftView   paddingView         self leftViewMode    always                 IBInspectable var placeHolderColor  UIColor              get                 return self placeHolderColor                       set               self attributedPlaceholder   NSAttributedString string self placeholder    nil   self placeholder        attributes  NSAttributedString Key foregroundColor  newValue                                IBInspectable var bottomBorderColor  UIColor              get                 return self bottomBorderColor                       set               self borderStyle    none             self layer masksToBounds   false             self layer shadowColor   newValue  cgColor             self layer shadowOffset   CGSize width  0 0  height  1 0              self layer shadowOpacity   1 0             self layer shadowRadius   0 0

You can create this extension outside class and replace width with whatever borderWidth you want    Swift 4  extension UITextField       func setBottomBorder withColor color  UIColor                self borderStyle   UITextBorderStyle none         self backgroundColor   UIColor clear         let width  CGFloat   1 0          let borderLine   UIView frame  CGRect x  0  y  self frame height - width  width  self frame width  height  width           borderLine backgroundColor   color         self addSubview borderLine            Original  extension UITextField       func setBottomBorder borderColor  UIColor                self borderStyle   UITextBorderStyle None         self backgroundColor   UIColor clearColor           let width   1 0          let borderLine   UIView frame  CGRectMake 0  self frame height - width  self frame width  width           borderLine backgroundColor   borderColor         self addSubview borderLine            and then add this to your viewDidLoad replacing yourTextField with your UITextField variable and with any color you want in the border  yourTextField setBottomBorder UIColor blackColor      This basically adds a view with that color at the bottom of the text field

What I did was to create an extension to UITextField and added a Designer editable property  Setting this property to any color would change the border  bottom  to that color  setting other borders to none    Since this also requires to change the place holder text color  I also added that to the extension        extension UITextField         IBInspectable var placeHolderColor  UIColor            get               return self placeHolderColor                   set               self attributedPlaceholder   NSAttributedString string self placeholder    nil   self placeholder        attributes  NSForegroundColorAttributeName  newValue                           IBInspectable var bottomBorderColor  UIColor            get               return self bottomBorderColor                   set               self borderStyle   UITextBorderStyle None              let border   CALayer               let width   CGFloat 0 5              border borderColor   newValue  CGColor             border frame   CGRect x  0  y  self frame size height - width    width   self frame size width  height  self frame size height               border borderWidth   width             self layer addSublayer border              self layer masksToBounds   true
