# NIConfiguration

An abstract base class for interaction configurations.

## Declaration

```swift
class NIConfiguration
```

## Mentioned in

Initiating and maintaining a session

## Overview

Overview The NIConfiguration class serves as the common identity for configuration objects. Don’t instantiate this class directly. Instead, instantiate one if its concrete subclasses: NINearbyPeerConfiguration or NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration. Use your configuration object to specify the features you want to enable in a Nearby Interaction session, and pass the object to the session’s run(_:) method.
