Resize label to fit text amount - Swift

Question

Hey :) I have a label and I need to make the width of that label smaller or larger accourding to the text amount, and I found only how to adjust the text to fit the size but the how to adjust the size to fit the text, any ideas ?

Answer 1

You'll want to do this:

myLabel.sizeToFit() 

As seen here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/1622630-sizetofit

This will update the label's frame to fit the content. You can then place it or make any edits after this that you want.

Answer 2

sizeToFit() doesn't always work so you should use this:

myLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
myLabel.minimumScaleFactor = 0.5

Or if you don't have limit lines you can do this:

myLabel.numberOfLines = 0

Answer 3

Here's the step that work in mine:

1. Set width constraint to the label, then click the constraint.
2. Select Size Inspector.
3. Set the relation to less than or equal, and set max width.
