Resize a UITextField while typing (by using Autolayout)

Question

I have a UITableViewCell which has two UITextFields (without borders). The following constraints are used to set up the horizontal layout.

@\"|-10-[leftTextFi

Here's the answer in Swift. As a bonus, this snippet doesn't collapse the text field if there is a placeholder.

// UITextField subclass

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(textFieldTextDidChange), forControlEvents: .EditingChanged)
}

func textFieldTextDidChange(textField: UITextField) {
    textField.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
}

override func intrinsicContentSize() -> CGSize {
    if self.editing {
        let textSize: CGSize = NSString(string: ((text ?? "" == "") ? self.placeholder : self.text) ?? "").sizeWithAttributes(self.typingAttributes)
        return CGSize(width: textSize.width + (self.leftView?.bounds.size.width ?? 0) + (self.rightView?.bounds.size.width ?? 0) + 2, height: textSize.height)
    } else {
        return super.intrinsicContentSize()
    }
}
