Way to know the width of the text in SKLabelNode

Is there a way to know the width of a "SKLabelNode" in Sprite Kit ?

OR I should use SKSpriteNode then use text inside it

Because SKLabelNode is a subclass of SKNode, and SKNodes have a frame, you can query this and get the size of the SKLabelNode:

from the docs:

The frame is the smallest rectangle that contains the node’s content, taking into account the node’s xScale, yScale, and zRotation properties. Not all nodes contain content of their own.

https://developer.apple.com/reference/spritekit/sknode/1483026-frame

Here's some of the convenient properties, of a pretend englishLabel

englishLabel.frame.maxX
englishLabel.frame.midX
englishLabel.frame.minX    
englishLabel.frame.width
