# init(exporting:)

Creates a value representation that exports an entity to a system intent value.

## Declaration

```swift
init(exporting: @escaping @Sendable (Item) async throws -> IntentValue)
```

## Parameters

- `exporting`: A closure that converts an entity to a system intent value. This closure is called when the system needs to transfer your entity across process boundaries or export it for use by other apps or system features.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this initializer when you only need to export your entity to a system type, without supporting import back into your entity type. Example struct VenueEntity: AppEntity, Transferable {     static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation {         IntentValueRepresentation(             exporting: { entity in                 PlaceDescriptor(                     representations: [                         .address(entity.address),                         .coordinate(.init(                             latitude: entity.latitude,                             longitude: entity.longitude                         ))                     ],                     commonName: entity.name                 )             }         )     } }
