Avoid code repetition in constructors by setting a tuple of variables with a one liner: class Contact: UIView { private var message: UILabel private var phone: UITextView required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { (message, phone) = self.dynamicType.setUp() su...

let mySwitch: UISwitch = { view.addSubview($0) $0.addTarget(self, action: "action", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside) return $0 }(UISwitch())

@IBOutlet weak var title: UILabel! { didSet { label.textColor = UIColor.redColor() label.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(20) label.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor() } } It's also possible to both set a value and initialize it: private var loginButton = UIButton() { ...

internal func Init<Type>(value : Type, block: @noescape (object: Type) -> Void) -> Type { block(object: value) return value } Usage: Init(UILabel(frame: CGRect.zero)) { $0.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor() }
