Installation

Download sample app and copy files in BGClockView folder into your project.

(Side note: to get all of the features of the demo app you can add Weather Underground API key to WebServicesManager.swift let kWUndergroundAPIKey = "")

Use

BGClockView can be initialized either in Storyboard/Xib or through frames. Once initialized, BGClockView is customizable.

self.clockView.textColor = .lightGray
self.clockView.face = .normal
self.clockView.hand = .swiss
self.clockView.faceFont = UIFont(name: "Noteworthy-Bold", size: 14.0)!
self.clockView.minuteTickColor = .black
self.clockView.minuteHandColor = .blue
self.clockView.hourHandColor = .orange
self.clockView.secondHandColor = .red
self.clockView.screwColor = .black
self.clockView.timeZoneNameString = "Asia/Tokyo"
self.clockView.hideDateLabel = true
self.clockView.continuous = false
self.clockView.start()

Will produce this rather hideous clock.

Features

Clock faces

BGClockView has the following clock faces that are available through the face property:

enum FaceStyle
{
    case swiss
    case normal
    case simple
    case utility
    case bigBen
    case melting
    case minimal
    case plain
    case square
    case chrono
    case flip
    case zulu
}

Hand styles

BGClockView has the following clock hands that are available through the hand property:

enum HandStyle
{
    case swiss
    case appleWatch
    case chrono
    case bigBen
    case melting
    case minimal
    case plain
}

Images

In addition you can replace the clock face and hands with prerendered images by setting the clockFaceImage,hourHandImage,minuteHandImage, and secondHandImage properties. For example:

clockView.clockFaceImage = UIImage(named: "clockFace")
clockView.hourHandImage = UIImage(named: "hourHand")
clockView.minuteHandImage = UIImage(named: "minuteHand")
clockView.secondHandImage = UIImage(named: "secondHand")

Time Zones

You can set a clock's time zone through the timeZoneNameString

Static times

If you would like to use BGClockView to display a static time you can call setClockToTime(day:Int,hour:Int,minute:Int,second:Int,weekday:Int) For example:

self.clockView.setClockToTime(day: 1, hour: 10, minute: 9, second: 30, weekday: 6)

Will set the clock to the Saturday, the 1st, 10:09:30 am. If using autolayout, this method should be called after the layout engine has finished its passes e.g. viewDidLayoutSubviews

Gotcha's

Some properties are overloaded. And some properties don't apply to all clock faces. You can use the demo app's customization tab to find these.

Also, 🙀 Please forgive the incredibly confusing code in some of the classes. This is my first Swift project and optional chaining and other Swift features could have been better used amongst other things🙀
