Level Up ionicons-iOS With a Category

| Comments

Purpose

Ionicons is a cool icon font framework (100% free and open source) designed by Ionic Framework.

David Sweetman released an iOS library to permit iOS developers to integrate this font with your projects via this repository https://github.com/sweetmandm/ionicons-iOS

But you can only generate UIImage object or UILabel with this library. I needed more like generate UIImageView, UIButton, add a corner radius around them […].

So i created a category who is now adding useful functions.
