How to dynamically adjust height of UITextView - ios

Question

So I know there are a couple of post like mine, but not quite what I am looking for. So here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have this ViewController that looks like this.
When a user inputs text into the UITextView, which currently has the text "Description", I want to dynamically change the height of the UITextView so if the text where to become multiple lines or go off screen the user can scroll through the whole view with its contents. Here is my program.
#IBOutlet var scrollView: UIScrollView!
var projectNameTextField: UITextField!
var projectCategoryLabel: UIButton!
var dueDateLabel: UIButton!
var projectDescription: UITextView!
var projectDescriptionFrame: CGRect!
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let scrollViewWidth = scrollView.frame.width
scrollView.contentSize.width = scrollViewWidth
let trallingSpace: CGFloat = 12.0
let contentWidth = scrollViewWidth - (trallingSpace * 2.0)
projectNameTextField = UITextField(frame: CGRect(x: trallingSpace, y: scrollViewContentHeight(), width: contentWidth, height: 40))
projectNameTextField.placeholder = "Title"
updateScrollView(withView: projectNameTextField)
let categoryLabel = UILabel()
categoryLabel.text = "Category"
projectCategoryLabel = UIButton()
projectCategoryLabel.setTitle("Art", forState: .Normal)
projectCategoryLabel.setTitleColor(UIColor.blackColor(), forState: .Normal)
let stackViewHCategory = UIStackView(frame: CGRect(x: trallingSpace, y: scrollViewContentHeight(), width: contentWidth, height: 40))
stackViewHCategory.axis = .Horizontal
stackViewHCategory.spacing = 8
stackViewHCategory.addArrangedSubview(categoryLabel)
stackViewHCategory.addArrangedSubview(projectCategoryLabel)
updateScrollView(withView: stackViewHCategory)
let dueDateTitle = UILabel()
dueDateTitle.text = "Due Date"
dueDateLabel = UIButton()
dueDateLabel.setTitle("No Due Date", forState: .Normal)
dueDateLabel.setTitleColor(UIColor.blackColor(), forState: .Normal)
let stackViewHDueDate = UIStackView(frame: CGRect(x: trallingSpace, y: scrollViewContentHeight(), width: contentWidth, height: 40))
stackViewHDueDate.axis = .Horizontal
stackViewHDueDate.spacing = 8
stackViewHDueDate.addArrangedSubview(dueDateTitle)
stackViewHDueDate.addArrangedSubview(dueDateLabel)
updateScrollView(withView: stackViewHDueDate)
projectDescription = UITextView(frame: CGRect(x: trallingSpace, y: scrollViewContentHeight(), width: contentWidth, height: 40))
projectDescription.text = "Description"
projectDescription.delegate = self
projectDescription.scrollEnabled = false
projectDescription.font = projectDescription.font?.fontWithSize(14)
updateScrollView(withView: projectDescription)
projectDescriptionFrame = projectDescription.frame
projectDescriptionFrame.size.height = projectDescription.contentSize.height
projectDescription.frame = projectDescriptionFrame
}
func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
projectDescriptionFrame.size.height = projectDescription.contentSize.height
projectDescription.frame = projectDescriptionFrame
var contentSizeheight = CGFloat()
for (index, viewInScrollView) in scrollView.subviews.enumerate() {
if index > 1 {
contentSizeheight += viewInScrollView.frame.height
}
}
scrollView.contentSize.height = contentSizeheight
}
func updateScrollView(withView withView: UIView) {
scrollView.addSubview(withView)
scrollView.contentSize.height += withView.frame.height
}
func scrollViewContentHeight() -> CGFloat {
var height = CGFloat()
for (index, viewInScrollView) in scrollView.subviews.enumerate() {
if index > 1 {
height += viewInScrollView.frame.height
}
}
return height
}
How can I do this so that it will adjust the UITextView frame and update the UIScrollView.contentSize (Not of UITextView) so then the user can scroll through the whole view. And I would say I want a UI like when you make a new message in iOS Mail app. There you are able to scroll through the emails subject and the body of the message as one. Please help me with this. I have been stuck on this for days.

Okay I figured it out. Here is what I changed.
In the global properties.
var oldProjectDescriptionHeight: CGFloat!
var projectDescriptionHeight: CGFloat! {
willSet {
oldProjectDescriptionHeight = projectDescriptionHeight
}
}
And in the UITextViewDelegate textViewDidChange
func textViewDidChange(textView: UITextView) {
let fixedWidth = textView.frame.size.width
textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.max))
let newSize = textView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth, height: CGFloat.max))
var newFrame = textView.frame
newFrame.size = CGSize(width: max(newSize.width, fixedWidth), height: newSize.height)
textView.frame = newFrame
projectDescriptionHeight = newFrame.height
scrollView.contentSize.height += projectDescriptionHeight - oldProjectDescriptionHeight
}
