Xcode – How to create TextView component which shows two lines of text in swift iOS

Planning to use the same text view in multiple places in the app so planning to create text view component without xib/Storyboard so that the same can be reuse in multiple places.

I’m a junior developer how can we create a text view component programmatically which can display two lines of text as shows in below screenshot.

    If you need to display static text with no editing features and no selection features, you should use a UILabel.

    If you need selection or editing, use UITextView.

    For Creating UILabel Subclass for using everywhere:

    import UIKit
class MyLabel: UILabel {

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    initializeLabel()
}

override init(frame: CGRect) {
    super.init(frame: frame)
    initializeLabel()
}

func initializeLabel() {

    self.textAlignment = .left
    self.font = UIFont(name: "Halvetica", size: 17) // your customs
    self.textColor = .black
    self.numberOfLines = 2
    //other customisations
}
}

    And here’s how you use it in your View Controller:

    import UIKit

    class ViewController: UIViewController {

     var myLabel: MyLabel()

 override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()

      myLabel = MyLabel(frame: CGRect(x: self.view.frame.size.width / 2, y: self.view.frame.size.height / 2, width: 100, height: 20))
      self.view.addSubView(myLabel)
 }
}
