An Objective-C UIKit category that collapses a UIView and its related Auto Layout constraints to simulate a flow-layout effect. It supports Interface Builder wiring via IBOutletCollection and auto-collapsing views like UILabel or UIImageView when their content becomes empty.

Use cases

• collapse a view and its margins in an Auto Layout stack
• hide empty labels or image views in table view cells automatically
• simulate flow layout behavior for dynamic cell content
• toggle view visibility while keeping layout clean in Interface Builder
• remove spacing constraints when a component has no content

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS codebase using Auto Layout
• you need Interface Builder-friendly collapsing of views and constraints
• you want views to auto-collapse when their content is empty

When to avoid

• you use SwiftUI or modern UIKit stack views, which handle this natively
• you need an actively maintained library
• your project is in Swift and you prefer Swift-native solutions
