How to change Auto Layout constraints after they are set when using constraintEqualToAnchor()?

Question

I try to set up a view with AutoLayout constraints by using constraintEqualToAnchor():

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    le         


        

Answer 1

Here is an example declaring a constraint c which will be referenced later in time. We set a new constant value and then call layout on the superview.

myView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

var constraints: [NSLayoutConstraint] = [
    myView.topAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.topAnchor),
    myView.leftAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.leftAnchor),
    myView.bottomAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.bottomAnchor)
]         
let c = myView.rightAnchor.constraintEqualToAnchor(view.rightAnchor)       
constraints.append(c)   

view.addSubview(myView)
NSLayoutConstraint.activateConstraints(constraints)

// Some time later
c.constant = -100
view.setNeedsLayout()
