How to make a self expanding UILabel which is inside a UIStackVIew?

Question

I have an application which shows the from and drop location in the UI part. Since i have placed these to UILabels for showing the from and to location in the Stack View. Currently if the from or to location name is bigger it gets truncated at the end and it does not shows the name fully. The example image is shown below:

Now i wish to have the From and To location to be fully shown by showing the remaining part in next line . How to achieve this? Currently i am using the following constraints:

What constraints should i give so that the label expands according to content height wise. And also the stack View should also expand with it. Please see to this and have an idea. I shall be helpful.

Following is the attributes set for the label:

When i tried to give the number of lines as 0 it get like this:

@AravindAR So after that the label will expand heightwise right? — Chelsea Shawra, Sep 13 '17 at 09:32

The number of lines that you have given for the label is 1. So it will get truncated if the content cannot fit in a single line. So if you want the label to grow vertically and show all the contents give number of lines as 0.

I have given the bottom constriants . I will check and let u know. The solution is good but it is overlapping the contents under it. If it goes i will support it. – Chelsea Shawra Sep 13 '17 at 09:40
@ChelseaShawra try giving the bottom constraint of the label to the label below it. I guess it will work – Aravind A R Sep 13 '17 at 09:42
