Dynamic height for UICollectionViewCell

I want dynamic cell Size as per text in TextView, Here is my code

        func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int
        {
            return DataArray.count
        }
        func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell
        {
            let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as? CustomCollectionViewCell

            let fixedWidth = cell?.TextView.frame.size.width
            cell?.TextView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth!, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
            let newSize = cell?.TextView.sizeThatFits(CGSize(width: fixedWidth!, height: CGFloat.greatestFiniteMagnitude))
            var newFrame = cell?.TextView.frame
            newFrame?.size = CGSize(width: max((newSize?.width)!, fixedWidth!), height: (newSize?.height)!)
            cell?.TextView.frame = newFrame!
            TextViewFrame = newFrame!
            cell?.TextView.text = DataArray[indexPath.row] as? String
            return cell!
        }
        func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize
        {

            return CGSize(width: CV.frame.size.width, height: 200)
        }

Here i have given 200 fixed size for cell. it gives me output as below It gives me cell height 200 for small content as well as for large content . But actually i want cell height as per content. How can i achieve this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance enter image description here

You can find the height of the cell once you know the bounding rect for the text you want to display.

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize {

    let text = "String that you want to show in the label inside the cell"
    let boundingRect = NSString(string: text).boundingRectWithSize(CGSizeMake(collectionView.bounds.width, 1000),
                                                                   options: .UsesLineFragmentOrigin,
                                                                   attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(11.0)],
                                                                   context: nil)

    let size = CGSizeMake(collectionView.bounds.width, ceil(boundingRect.height))

    return size
}

Just be sure to make up for the top/bottom/left/right margins of your label to the cell.
