如果你觉得上面的内容很难看。您应该考虑使用DSL进行约束。比如SnapKit 使约束API更加用户友好

view.snp.makeConstraints { make in
    make.edges.equalToSuperview()
}

如果你想要填充你的超级视图，那么我建议快速的方法:

view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let attributes: [NSLayoutAttribute] = [.top, .bottom, .right, .left]
NSLayoutConstraint.activate(attributes.map {
    NSLayoutConstraint(item: view, attribute: $0, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: view.superview, attribute: $0, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
})

否则，如果你需要非相等的约束检查NSLayoutAnchor作为iOS 9。使用NSLayoutConstraint直接读取通常要容易得多:

view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.superview!.topAnchor).isActive = true
view.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.superview!.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
view.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.superview!.leadingAnchor, constant: 10).isActive = true
view.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.superview!.trailingAnchor, constant: 10).isActive = true

基本上有3个步骤

fileprivate func setupName() { 

    lblName.text = "Hello world"

    // Step 1
    lblName.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

    //Step 2
    self.view.addSubview(lblName)

    //Step 3
    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
        lblName.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerXAnchor),
        lblName.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerYAnchor)
    ])
}

这将把标签“hello world”置于屏幕中心。

请参考链接自动布局约束编程

您可以使用Snapkit以编程方式设置约束。

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    let rectView: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        setupViews()
    }
    
    private func setupViews() {
        rectView.backgroundColor = .red
        view.addSubview(rectView)

        rectView.snp.makeConstraints {
          $0.center.equalToSuperview()
        }
    }
}

尝试这个优雅的UIView扩展约束。你可以简单地做约束:

 - firstView.coverWholeSuperview()
 - firstView.constraints(size: CGSize(width: 44, height: 44), centerX: view.centerXAnchor, centerY: view.centerXAnchor)
 - firstView.constraints(top: view.topAnchor, 
                         leading: secondView.leadingAnchor, 
                         bottom: view.bottomAnchor, 
                         trailing: secondView.trailingAnchor, 
                         padding: UIEdgeInsets(top: 12, left: 12, bottom: 12, right: 12))

这里是扩展，只需复制到您的项目。

    /// Attaches all sides of the receiver to its parent view
    func coverWholeSuperview(margin: CGFloat = 0.0) {
        let view = superview
