Dynamic width size to fit of controls in stackview

Question

I have a horizontal stackview with button and label

Case 1: Button text is dynamic and size of it should fit to text. So I added hugging and compression to required. This works perfectly

Case 2: But when my label is hidden, Button takes entire space of stackview. How can i avoid that?

I need my button width fixed to fit the title. Please refer below screen how it looks

ALL Constraints are added in storyboard. I don't want to do it programatically

Please advice

That's normal `UIStackView` behaviour. You could set the label's `alpha` to **0** instead of setting its `isHidden` property to `true`. Or set the label's `text` to an empty string. — André Slotta, Jan 30 '19 at 09:10
add a fixed width to button and a 750 priority trailing on the stackview to superview — Sean Lintern, Jan 30 '19 at 09:31
Don't use trailing constant for the UIStackView then it will automatically adjust width as per the content. — vivekDas, Jan 30 '19 at 09:55

There are multiple ways for that.

First stackView: Your normal case.

Second stackView:

The label.text has " " value.
Adding a blank text could make the stackView height increase if you don't explicitly add a height constraint for the stackView.
Also, the button has a width constraint.

Third stackView:
