I have a collectionView that can contain 2 to 5 cells. I want to pin the collection view to the bottom of it's parent vc but I want the collection view to be only the size of it's cells (similar to an Action Sheet).
If I wasn't;t using anchors this is how I would do it only setting its frame:
// this works fine but I just can't achieve this using anchors
cv.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: view.frame.height - heightOfAllCells, width: view.frame.width, height: heightOfAllCells)
Using anchors how can I get the collectionView to be only the size of it's cells but still pinned to the bottom of it's parent view?
let cv: UICollectionView!
let myData = [String]()
let cellHeight: CGFloat = 50
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var heightOfAllCells = CGFloat(self.myData.count) * cellHeight
//... instantiated cv layout and translateAutoResizingMask = false
cv.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leftAnchor).isActive = true
cv.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor).isActive = true
cv.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor, constant: 0).isActive = true
cv.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: cv.bottomAnchor, constant: -heightOfAllCells).isActive = true
cv.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: heightOfAllCells).isActive = true
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return myData.count
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: collectionView.frame.width, height: cellHeight)
}
You need to remove this constraint
cv.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: cv.bottomAnchor, constant: -heightOfAllCells).isActive = true
