Is it possible to add constraint between two UILabels? - swift

Question

Yeah basically i want to create a constraint between the bottom border of one UILabel (label1) and top border of another UILabel (label2). I currently have the top of my label 1 connected to the safearea and constant height set up to 100.
let label1 = UILabel.init()
label1.text = "123"
view.addSubview(label1)
label1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label1.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor).isActive = true
label1.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
let label2 = UILabel.init()
label2.text = "456"
view.addSubview(label2)
label2.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label2.topAnchor.constraint(???)

Answer 1

You need
let label1 = UILabel()
label1.text = "123"
view.addSubview(label1)
label1.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let label2 = UILabel()
label2.text = "456"
view.addSubview(label2)
label2.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
label1.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor,constant:20.0),
label1.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo:self.view.centerXAnchor),
label2.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.label1.bottomAnchor,constant:20.0),
label2.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo:self.view.centerXAnchor)
])
You can also use a vertical UIStackView

Answer 2

Simply use vertical stackview .
let label1 = UILabel()
label1.text = "123"
let label2 = UILabel()
label2.text = "456"
let stackView = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [label1, label2])
stackView.axis = .vertical
stackView.distribution = .equalSpacing
stackView.alignment = .center
stackView.spacing = 10
stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
stackView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.topAnchor,constant:20.0),
stackView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo:self.view.centerXAnchor)
])
