## What it is
LGButton is a fully customisable Swift subclass of UIControl for iOS that lets developers create styled buttons entirely from Interface Builder without writing code. It supports font icons from popular collections (Font Awesome, Ion Icons, Octicons, Material, etc.), asset images, and async operation states.

## Use cases
- create custom styled buttons in iOS without code
- add font icons to iOS buttons
- configure button appearance in Interface Builder
- show loading state on buttons during async operations
- replace UIButton with a more customizable control

## When to choose
- you build iOS UIs primarily in Interface Builder or storyboards
- you want icon fonts and gradients on buttons with zero code
- you need IBDesignable live-preview buttons in Xcode

## When to avoid
- you build UI programmatically or with SwiftUI
- you need a actively developed library with recent updates
- you target platforms other than iOS

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: uibutton, uicontrol, ibdesignable, interface-builder, font-icons, cocoapods, ios, swift
