Swift UITextField: Create a dynamically decrease UITextField Frame in autolayout

I am using Custom Cell in UITableView. And the basic model of the cell is as follows.



enter image description here



I would like to have the dashed line dynamically deformed according to the size of the Menu Name box in this cell. So I wrote the following code:



menuField.frame.size.width = getWidth(text: menuField.text!)
menuField.layoutIfNeeded()
dotLine.layoutIfNeeded()

func getWidth(text: String) -> CGFloat {
let txtField = UITextField(frame: .zero)
txtField.text = text
txtField.sizeToFit()
return txtField.frame.size.width
}


This worked very well. Only increase if only! If the Menu Name Frame is reduced below the currently set size, the size remains unchanged.



enter image description here



As you can see from the image above, I need to make not only the size of the dotted line increase but also the shrinkage. I do not know what my problem is. Please help me!

  • Do you want to have same number of dots every time?

  • No. The number of dots does not matter. The number of points does not matter. I only need to keep the distance between the Menu Text box and the dotted line constant.:)

You don't need any of code you wrote, autolayout does this for you. Just set autolayout like this:



Dash is constraint with your value



- MenuTextField - Dotted line - Price -

I have solved my problem. First, I added the width dimension Constraints of the Menu Text Box and imported it into the IBOutlet variable.



@IBOutlet weak var menuWidth: NSLayoutConstraint!


And I changed the value of the variable according to the text length.



menuWidth.constant = getWidth(text: menuField.text!)


This method is not yet fully functional. But it works the way I want.



Also thanks to Robert Dresler who answered me :) Thanks!
