# file

The app entity describes a file.

## Declaration

```swift
var file: some AssistantSchemas.Entity { get }
```

## Overview

Overview Use Swift macros that generate additional properties and add protocol conformance for your app entity implementation. The following example shows an app entity that conforms to the .files.file schema: @AppEntity(schema: .files.file) struct ExampleFileEntity: FileEntity {     var displayRepresentation: AppIntents.DisplayRepresentation { "Example File" }

static var supportedContentTypes = [UTType.image]

var id: FileEntityIdentifier

@Property     var creationDate: Date?

@Property     var fileModificationDate: Date?

struct Query: EntityStringQuery {         func entities(for identifiers: [ExampleFileEntity.ID]) async throws -> [ExampleFileEntity] { [] }         func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [ExampleFileEntity] { [] }     } } For more information about the .files app intent domain, see doc:Making-file-management-actions-available-to-siri-and-apple-intelligence.
