Adding a title to the left side of the navigation bar

Try this code:

let leftItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Title",                                   style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain,                                   target: nil,                                   action: nil)    leftItem.isEnabled = false    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftItem

More powerful solution of this problem:

let longTitleLabel = UILabel()    longTitleLabel.text = "Long long long long long long title"    longTitleLabel.font = ................    longTitleLabel.sizeToFit()    let leftItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: longTitleLabel)    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftItem

Now you just can edit label as you want. You can use another font or text color.

    navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false        let titleLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width - 32, height: view.frame.height))    titleLabel.text = "  Home"    titleLabel.textColor = UIColor.white    titleLabel.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20)    navigationItem.titleView = titleLabel

You could try creating a custom view, and then create a UIBarButtonItem with that custom view in it.

Custom view:

var button = UIButton(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44))var label = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 14)) // adjust as you see fitlabel.text = "Label test"label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Leftbutton.addSubview(label)// Add it to your left bar buttonself.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItems = [barButtonNegativeSpacer, UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
