When I try to use an image for a UIBarButtonItem, the text isn't shown. Is there a way to show both the text and the image?

Swift 4.2 with target

extension UIBarButtonItem {
    convenience init(image :UIImage, title :String, target: Any?, action: Selector?) {
        let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
        button.setImage(image, for: .normal)
        button.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
        button.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height)

        if let target = target, let action = action {
            button.addTarget(target, action: action, for: .touchUpInside)
        }

        self.init(customView: button)
    }
}

Swift Update for UIBarButtonItem with a custom view that has both image and text.

var chatImage: UIImage  = UIImage(named: "YourImageName")
var rightButton : UIButton = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.custom)
rightButton.setBackgroundImage(rightImage, for: .normal)
rightButton.setTitle(title, for: .normal)
rightButton.frame.size = CGSize(width: 100, height: 30)

let menuUIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: rightButton)
