UIStackView's power is to reduce your using of constrains, just give it some setting info such as axis, distribution, alignment, spacing. stack view will layout your subview item automatically, cause stack view's size is based on its' subviews' intrinsicContentSize, you can set subview's size by extra constraints to override.

adding constraints to subview of stackView is the same as other items in UIView. but is not a StackView way, and you should be care about adding conflict constraints.

hope this code demo helps:

let stackView = UIStackView()
let demoView = UIView()
demoView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

stackView.addArrangedSubview(demoView)
demoView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

// add your constraints as usual
demoView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 300).isActive = true
demoView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 200).isActive = true
demoView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: stackView.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
demoView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: stackView.topAnchor).isActive = true

view.addSubview(stackView)
stackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
stackView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
stackView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
