A missing Auto Layout helper for UIKit

LayoutUtility.swift

// A small utility for NSLayoutDimension shortcuts

public protocol PinObject {
  var topAnchor: NSLayoutYAxisAnchor { get }

public extension UIView {

  struct PinOptions: OptionSet {

    public let rawValue: Int

    public static let all: PinOptions = [.top, .trailing, .bottom, .leading]

    public static let trailing = PinOptions(rawValue: 1 << 1)
    public static let bottom = PinOptions(rawValue: 1 << 2)

    public init(rawValue: Int) {
      self.rawValue = rawValue
    }

  func pin(to pinObject: PinObject, edges: PinOptions, priority: UILayoutPriority) {
    translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

    var constraints = [NSLayoutConstraint]()
    if edges.contains(.leading) {
      constraints.append(leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: pinObject.leadingAnchor))

    constraints.forEach { $0.priority = priority }

    if !constraints.isEmpty {
      NSLayoutConstraint.activate(constraints)
    }
  }

  func pinEdges(to parentView: UIView, edges: PinOptions = .all, priority: UILayoutPriority = .required) {
    pin(to: parentView, edges: edges, priority: priority)
  }

  func pinToMargins(of parentView: UIView, edges: PinOptions = .all, priority: UILayoutPriority = .required) {
    pin(to: parentView.layoutMarginsGuide, edges: edges, priority: priority)
  }

  func pinToSafeArea(of parentView: UIView, edges: PinOptions = .all, priority: UILayoutPriority = .required) {

  }
}

Thanks dude. This post UITableViewHeaderFooterContentView's width should equal 0 save my day.

@Shinolr You are welcome! Glad you found the post.
