[ios] UILabel - Wordwrap text

Is there any way to have a label wordwrap text as needed? I have the line breaks set to word wrap and the label is tall enough for two lines, but it appears that it will only wrap on line breaks. Do I have to add line breaks to make it wrap properly? I just want it to wrap if it can't fit it in horizontally.

The answer is

In Swift you would do it like this:

    label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakMode.ByWordWrapping
    label.numberOfLines = 0

(Note that the way the lineBreakMode constant works is different to in ObjC)

UILabel has a property lineBreakMode that you can set as per your requirement.

Xcode 10, Swift 4

Wrapping the Text for a label can also be done on Storyboard by selecting the Label, and using Attributes Inspector.

Lines = 0 Linebreak = Word Wrap
