# exportingCondition(_:)

Prevents the system from exporting an item if it does not meet the supplied condition.

## Declaration

```swift
func exportingCondition(_ condition: @escaping @Sendable (Self.Item) -> Bool) -> _ConditionalTransferRepresentation<Self>
```

## Parameters

- `condition`: A closure that determines whether the item is exportable. Don’t perform long-running work in this closure. It shouldn’t contain network requests, file operations, or other potentially time-consuming tasks as they can cause delays during operations with Transferable items.

## Discussion

Discussion Some instances of a model type may have state-dependent conditions that make them unsuitable for export. For example, an Archive structure that supports a comma-separated text representation only when it has compatible content: struct Archive {     var supportsCSV: Bool     func csvData() -> Data     init(csvData: Data) }

extension Archive: Transferable {     static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation {         DataRepresentation(contentType: .commaSeparatedText) { archive in             archive.csvData()         } importing: { data in Archive(csvData: data) }             .exportingCondition { archive in archive.supportsCSV }     } }
