How to combine NSLayout Constraints with CGrect frame (Swift4)

🎤 General Discussion Swift

I am trying to create a textfield pragmatically, using no storyboard. My current code is having a compile error. I need to use NSLayout constraint to make sure my code can work on both a ipad and iphone.

                   import UIKit
    var aa:[NSLayoutConstraint] = []
    class ViewController: UIViewController {

  var btn : UITextField!

   override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
btn = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: 50, y: 100, width: 200, height: 50))

let leadingc2 = btn.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 80)
let trailingC2 = btn.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 50)
let topc2 = btn.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerXAnchor, constant: -50)
let bottomc2 = btn.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.centerYAnchor, constant: -250)

aa = [leadingc2,trailingC2,topc2,bottomc2]

NSLayoutConstraint.activate(aa)
self.view.addSubview(btn)
    }}

@timswift Do you still have issues with this?

hi @timswift,
What is the compile error and as @shogunkaramazov has asked are you still trying to fix this or have you fixed this one already?

cheers,
