Minimum width for view when label is controlling width

I’ve been trying to do the following for quite some time without success.. I’m super grateful for any advice or tips.

Imagine having a

UIView

that has a fixed height and that’s horizontal/vertical in whatever superview it’s implemented in. Imagine that the view has a

UILabel

that controls its width.

How can you now set a minimum width for that

UIView

? Just in case the

UILabel

is empty or has a 2 character string, I’d like the

UIView

to have at least 50 pix width.

Here's a visual example:

Imagine the UILabel having no text. Then the UIView would have 0 width. That's the problem I'm trying to solve.

Create a width constraint with the minimum required width for the UIView and change the relation from Equal to Greater Than or Equal.
