# Published

A type that publishes a property marked with an attribute.

## Declaration

```swift
@propertyWrapper struct Published<Value>
```

## Overview

Overview Publishing a property with the @Published attribute creates a publisher of this type. You access the publisher with the $ operator, as shown here: class Weather {     @Published var temperature: Double     init(temperature: Double) {         self.temperature = temperature     } }

let weather = Weather(temperature: 20) cancellable = weather.$temperature     .sink() {         print ("Temperature now: \($0)") } weather.temperature = 25

// Prints: // Temperature now: 20.0 // Temperature now: 25.0 When the property changes, publishing occurs in the property’s willSet block, meaning subscribers receive the new value before it’s actually set on the property. In the above example, the second time the sink executes its closure, it receives the parameter value 25. However, if the closure evaluated weather.temperature, the value returned would be 20. important: The @Published attribute is class constrained. Use it with properties of classes, not with non-class types like structures. See Also assign(to:)
