Set UITableView's height to the height of its content with Auto Layout

Question

I have a View which has two labels and a Table View inside it. I want label 1 to always stay above my Table View and label 2, to be below the Table View. The problem is that

Answer 1

You have to override updateViewConstraints() in your UIViewController and set the height constraint's constant to tableView.contentSize.height:

override func updateViewConstraints() {
    tableHeightConstraint.constant = tableView.contentSize.height
    super.updateViewConstraints()
}

Then you have to make sure that Label2 has a top constraint that is greaterThanOrEqual to the table view's bottom. And you also have to change the table view's height constraint's priority from Required to High to avoid conflicting constraints when the table view's contentHeight is larger than the available height.
