Swift Dynamic Font Size for Bounds

UIFont+BestFit.swift

extension UIFont {
    
    /**
     Will return the best font conforming to the descriptor which will fit in the provided bounds.
     */
    static func bestFittingFontSize(for text: String, in bounds: CGRect, fontDescriptor: UIFontDescriptor, additionalAttributes: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any]? = nil) -> CGFloat {
        let constrainingDimension = min(bounds.width, bounds.height)
        let properBounds = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: bounds.size)
        var attributes = additionalAttributes ?? [:]
        
        let infiniteBounds = CGSize(width: CGFloat.infinity, height: CGFloat.infinity)
        var bestFontSize: CGFloat = constrainingDimension
        
        for fontSize in stride(from: bestFontSize, through: 0, by: -1) {
            let newFont = UIFont(descriptor: fontDescriptor, size: fontSize)
            attributes[.font] = newFont
            
            let currentFrame = text.boundingRect(with: infiniteBounds, options: [.usesLineFragmentOrigin, .usesFontLeading], attributes: attributes, context: nil)
            
            if properBounds.contains(currentFrame) {
                bestFontSize = fontSize
                break
            }
        }
        return bestFontSize
    }
    
    static func bestFittingFont(for text: String, in bounds: CGRect, fontDescriptor: UIFontDescriptor, additionalAttributes: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any]? = nil) -> UIFont {
        let bestSize = bestFittingFontSize(for: text, in: bounds, fontDescriptor: fontDescriptor, additionalAttributes: additionalAttributes)
        return UIFont(descriptor: fontDescriptor, size: bestSize)
    }
}

UILabel+BestFit.swift

extension UILabel {
    
    /// Will auto resize the contained text to a font size which fits the frames bounds.
    /// Uses the pre-set font to dynamically determine the proper sizing
    func fitTextToBounds() {
        guard let text = text, let currentFont = font else { return }
    
        let bestFittingFont = UIFont.bestFittingFont(for: text, in: bounds, fontDescriptor: currentFont.fontDescriptor, additionalAttributes: basicStringAttributes)
        font = bestFittingFont
    }
    
    private var basicStringAttributes: [NSAttributedStringKey: Any] {
        var attribs = [NSAttributedStringKey: Any]()
        
        let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
        paragraphStyle.alignment = self.textAlignment
        paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode = self.lineBreakMode
        attribs[.paragraphStyle] = paragraphStyle
        
        return attribs
    }
}

@eitanaviv - I agree, some instances it can be trimmed. I just made a small modification which should address this. Having centered text in a label, or depending on how the string looks, sometimes the string could be on two lines and return a false positive for its sizing. Should be better now!

NSAttributedStringKey is now NSAttributedString.Key

hi, this does not work, i am getting dots, in one line text

@joncardasis
Thanks your code :)
Can I use your code in my commercial app?
Please let me know how I can use the code for commercial distribution.

Thank you for sharing, it worked with me in iOS 11 & 14, Xcode 12

Thank you
