how do I change text in a label with swift?

Swift uses the same cocoa-touch API. You can call all the same methods, but they will use Swift's syntax. In this example you can do something like this:

self.simpleLabel.text = "message"

Note the setText method isn't available. Setting the label's text with = will automatically call the setter in swift.

swift solution

yourlabel.text = yourvariable

or self is use for when you are in async {brackets} or in some Extension

DispatchQueue.main.async{
    self.yourlabel.text = "typestring"
}

use a simple formula: WHO.WHAT = VALUE

where,

WHO is the element in the storyboard you want to make changes to for eg. label

WHAT is the property of that element you wish to change for eg. text

VALUE is the change that you wish to be displayed

for eg. if I want to change the text from story text to You see a fork in the road in the label as shown in screenshot 1

In this case, our WHO is the label (element in the storyboard), WHAT is the text (property of element) and VALUE will be You see a fork in the road

so our final code will be as follows: Final code

screenshot 1 changes to screenshot 2 once the above code is executed.

I hope this solution helps you solve your issue. Thank you!
