Figure out size of UILabel based on String in Swif

Question

I am trying to calculate the height of a UILabel based on different String lengths.

func calculateContentHeight() -> CGFloat{
    var maxLabelSize: CGSize = CGSizeMake(frame.size.width - 48, CGFloat(9999))
    var contentNSString = contentText as NSString
    var expectedLabelSize = contentNSString.boundingRectWithSize(maxLabelSize, options: NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(16.0)], context: nil)
    print("\(expectedLabelSize)")
    return expectedLabelSize.size.height

}

Above is the current function I use to determine the height but it is not working. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. I would perfer the answer in Swift and not Objective C.

Answer 1

This is my answer in Swift 4.1 and Xcode 9.4.1

//This is your label
let proNameLbl = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 20, width: 300, height: height))
proNameLbl.text = "This is your text"
proNameLbl.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)
proNameLbl.numberOfLines = 0
proNameLbl.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
infoView.addSubview(proNameLbl)

//Function to calculate height for label based on text
func heightForView(text:String, font:UIFont, width:CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
    let label:UILabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.byWordWrapping
    label.font = font
    label.text = text

    label.sizeToFit()
    return label.frame.height
}

Now you call this function

//Call this function
let height = heightForView(text: "This is your text", font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17), width: 300)
print(height)//Output : 41.0

Use an extension on String

Swift 3

extension String {
    func height(withConstrainedWidth width: CGFloat, font: UIFont) -> CGFloat {
        let constraintRect = CGSize(width: width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
        let boundingBox = self.boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font], context: nil)

        return ceil(boundingBox.height)
    }

    func width(withConstrainedHeight height: CGFloat, font: UIFont) -> CGFloat {
        let constraintRect = CGSize(width: .greatestFiniteMagnitude, height: height)
        let boundingBox = self.boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font], context: nil)

        return ceil(boundingBox.width)
    }
}

and also on NSAttributedString (which is very useful at times)

extension NSAttributedString {
    func height(withConstrainedWidth width: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
        let constraintRect = CGSize(width: width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
        let boundingBox = boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, context: nil)

        return ceil(boundingBox.height)
    }

    func width(withConstrainedHeight height: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
        let constraintRect = CGSize(width: .greatestFiniteMagnitude, height: height)
        let boundingBox = boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin, context: nil)

        return ceil(boundingBox.width)
    }
}

Swift 4

Just change the value for attributes in the extension String methods

from

[NSFontAttributeName: font]

to

[.font : font]

Answer 3

@IBOutlet weak var constraintTxtV: NSLayoutConstraint!
func TextViewDynamicallyIncreaseSize() {
    let contentSize = self.txtVDetails.sizeThatFits(self.txtVDetails.bounds.size)
    let higntcons = contentSize.height
    constraintTxtV.constant = higntcons
}

Answer 4

extension String{

    func widthWithConstrainedHeight(_ height: CGFloat, font: UIFont) -> CGFloat {
        let constraintRect = CGSize(width: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude, height: height)

        let boundingBox = self.boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: NSStringDrawingOptions.usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font], context: nil)

        return ceil(boundingBox.width)
    }

    func heightWithConstrainedWidth(_ width: CGFloat, font: UIFont) -> CGFloat? {
        let constraintRect = CGSize(width: width, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude)
        let boundingBox = self.boundingRect(with: constraintRect, options: NSStringDrawingOptions.usesLineFragmentOrigin, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font], context: nil)

        return ceil(boundingBox.height)
    }

}

Answer 5

For multiline text this answer is not working correctly. You can build a different String extension by using UILabel

extension String {
func height(constraintedWidth width: CGFloat, font: UIFont) -> CGFloat {
    let label =  UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude))
    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.text = self
    label.font = font
    label.sizeToFit()

    return label.frame.height
 }
}

The UILabel gets a fixed width and the .numberOfLines is set to 0. By adding the text and calling .sizeToFit() it automatically adjusts to the correct height.

Code is written in Swift 3
