iOS NSLayoutConstraint Fixed Width using constraintWithItem

Question

I\'d like to set a constraint to give a UIButton a fixed (constant) width programmatically. I know I can do this with constraintsWithVisualFormat, but I\'ve been using constrain

Answer 1

Found my solution. Just set the other object to nil, and the other attribute to NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute (this was what I failed to think of) and use the constant parameter for the fixed width:

[self addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:myButton
      attribute:NSLayoutAttributeWidth 
      relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual 
      toItem:nil 
      attribute:NSLayoutAttributeNotAnAttribute 
      multiplier:1.0 
      constant:200]];

Edit: since this answer still seems to get a fair share of views, I thought I'd add the Swift syntax:

self.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(
        item: myButton,
        attribute: .width,
        relatedBy: .equal,
        toItem: nil,
        attribute: .notAnAttribute,
        multiplier: 1.0,
        constant: 200))
