# intrinsicContentSize

A change that invalidates a view’s intrinsic size.

## Declaration

```swift
static var intrinsicContentSize: NSView.Invalidations.IntrinsicContentSize { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this invalidation type to call invalidateIntrinsicContentSize() so that a change in property value invalidates the containing view’s intrinsic content size. This allows the constraint-based layout system to account for the change the next time it updates the layout.
