# textLayoutGuide

A guide for positioning the primary text in the content view.

## Declaration

```swift
var textLayoutGuide: UILayoutGuide? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If the configuration doesn’t specify primary text, the value of this property is nil. If you apply a new configuration without primary text to the content view, the system removes this layout guide from the view and deactivates any constraints associated with it.
