# betterPathUpdateHandler

A handler that receives updates when an alternative network path is preferred over the current path.

## Declaration

```swift
@preconcurrency final var betterPathUpdateHandler: (@Sendable (Bool) -> Void)? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Better path events are an indication that a more preferable network path is available. If you can migrate your work to a new connection, try establishing a new connection. Once that new connection is ready, cancel the original connection.
