Centering a view in its superview using Visual Format Language

Question

I just started learning AutoLayout for iOS and had a look at Visual Format Language.

It all works fine except for one thing: I just can\'t get a view to center withi

Answer 1

Thanks to the answer from @Evgenii, I create a full example in gist:

center the red square vertically with custom height

You can center a view vertically by useing either VFL (which is not quite intuitive) or use constraints manually. By the way, I cannot combine both centerY and height together in VFL like:

"H:[subView]-(<=1)-[followIcon(==customHeight)]"

In the current solution VFL constraints are added separately.
