# album

The app entity describes an album.

## Declaration

```swift
var album: 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 .photos.album schema: @AppEntity(schema: .photos.album) struct PhotoAlbumEntity: AppEntity {     struct Query: EntityStringQuery {         func entities(for identifiers: [PhotoAlbumEntity.ID]) async throws -> [PhotoAlbumEntity] { [] }         func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [PhotoAlbumEntity] { [] }     }

static var defaultQuery = Query()     var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { "Photo Album" }

let id = UUID()
