add new constraints in swift

To add new constraints in Swift, you can use the NSLayoutConstraint class. This class allows you to create and manage constraints programmatically.

Here's an example of adding a new constraint to a view:

main.swift
// create a new constraint
let constraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: myView, // the view to add the constraint to
                                      attribute: .top, // the attribute to apply the constraint to
                                      relatedBy: .equal, // the relationship between the attribute and the constant
                                      toItem: nil, // the view to relate to (in this case, none because we're using constant)
                                      attribute: .top, // the attribute to relate to
                                      multiplier: 1.0,
                                      constant: 20.0)

// add the constraint to the view
myView.addConstraint(constraint)

In this example, we're adding a constraint to the top of the view with a constant of 20.0 points. You can change the attribute, constant, and related view to create different types of constraints.

Once you've added the constraint, make sure to call layoutIfNeeded() on the view to update its layout.
