# LPLinkView

A rich visual representation of a link.

## Declaration

```swift
class LPLinkView
```

## Overview

Overview LPLinkView presents a link based on its available metadata. Use it to show a link’s title and icon, associated images, inline audio, video playback, and maps in a familiar and consistent style. Present a rich link To present a rich link in your app, create an LPLinkView, passing an LPLinkMetadata instance into its initializer. Then add the LPLinkView to your view. For example, to present links in a table view, add an LPLinkView instance as a subview when populating each cell. let linkView = LPLinkView(metadata: metadata) cell.contentView.addSubview(linkView) linkView.sizeToFit() LPLinkView has an intrinsic size, but it also responds to sizeToFit() to present a layout at any size.
