How to adjust font size of label to fit the rectangle?

Question

Yeah, there\'s this cool myLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES; property. But as soon as the label has two lines or more, it won\'t resize the text to anythin

Swift 3 "binary search solution" based on this answer with minor improvements. Sample is in context of UITextView subclass:

func binarySearchOptimalFontSize(min: Int, max: Int) -> Int {
    let middleSize = (min + max) / 2

    if min > max {
        return middleSize
    }

    let middleFont = UIFont(name: font!.fontName, size: CGFloat(middleSize))!

    let attributes = [NSFontAttributeName : middleFont]
    let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: text, attributes: attributes)

    let size = CGSize(width: bounds.width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude)
    let options: NSStringDrawingOptions = [.usesLineFragmentOrigin, .usesFontLeading]
    let textSize = attributedString.boundingRect(with: size, options: options, context: nil)

    if textSize.size.equalTo(bounds.size) {
        return middleSize
    } else if (textSize.height > bounds.size.height || textSize.width > bounds.size.width) {
        return binarySearchOptimalFontSize(min: min, max: middleSize - 1)
    } else {
        return binarySearchOptimalFontSize(min: middleSize + 1, max: max)
    }
}

I hope that helps someone.
