Add a tap gesture to a part of a UILabel -iOS Swift

For that we need 2 steps.

Step 1: Implement UILabel extension

1- We need create a typealias for the method type.

2- Create addRangeGesture method with stringRange and function parameters. This method is responsible for adding gesture recognizer for entire UILabel. Let’s save the parameters in the RangeGestureRecognizer class (Step 2).

3- Create objc method tappedOnLabel, this will use didTapAttributedTextInLabel (step 2) to check if the string is in range, if is in range he running the method.

This class is responsible for checking if the string is in range and return boolean.
