# loadAsync(contentsOf:withName:)

Asynchronously loads a texture resource from a URL.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency static func loadAsync(contentsOf url: URL, withName resourceName: String? = nil) -> LoadRequest<TextureResource>
```

## Parameters

- `url`: The path or address of the file to load.
- `resourceName`: A unique name the method assigns to the resource it loads, for use in network synchronization.

## Return Value

Return Value A load operation that publishes the resource.

## Discussion

Discussion RealityKit uses the resource name to distinguish resources locally, and to match texture resources between networked peers. Specify a unique name for each texture resource you load or generate.
