UICollectionView autosize height

Question

How do I properly resize a UICollectionView so that it fully displays its contents? I have tried many things, including setting its frame, calling reloadData an

You can try out my custom AGCollectionView class

• Assign a height constraint of collectionView using a storyboard or programmatically.

- Assign this class to your UICollectionView.

class AGCollectionView: UICollectionView {

    fileprivate var heightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint!

    override init(frame: CGRect, collectionViewLayout layout: UICollectionViewLayout) {
        super.init(frame: frame, collectionViewLayout: layout)
        self.associateConstraints()
    }

    required public init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        self.associateConstraints()
    }

    override open func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        if self.heightConstraint != nil {
            self.heightConstraint.constant = floor(self.contentSize.height)
        }
        else{
            self.sizeToFit()
            print("Set a heightConstraint set size to fit content")
        }
    }

    func associateConstraints() {
        // iterate through height constraints and identify

        for constraint: NSLayoutConstraint in constraints {
            if constraint.firstAttribute == .height {
                if constraint.relation == .equal {
                    heightConstraint = constraint
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
