# init(importing:contentType:)

Using the type’s Transferable conformance implementation, instantiates a value from given data.

## Declaration

```swift
init(importing data: Data, contentType: UTType?) async throws
```

## Parameters

- `data`: Binary data that can be used to instantiate an item
- `contentType`: A content type that corresponds to the structure of the data. If no content type is provided, the framework calls into every transfer representation provided in the implementation of the doc://com.apple.CoreTransferable/documentation/CoreTransferable/Transferable conformance (transferRepresentation static property) until it finds one that can handle the data.

## Discussion

Discussion The default implementation of this initializer is available to all types that conform to Transferable protocol.
