# INRecurrenceRule

An object that describes the pattern to use when repeating an event.

## Declaration

```swift
class INRecurrenceRule
```

## Overview

Overview Use an INRecurrenceRule object to define a repeating pattern for date ranges. Typically, you use recurrence rules when defining date ranges that you associate with a trigger, such as an INTemporalEventTrigger object. Using a recurrence rule avoids the need to create a new trigger each time the old one fires.
