# date(_:kind:)

Tells the system a widget is relevant at a specific date and provides an additional contextual hint.

## Declaration

```swift
static func date(_ exact: Date, kind: RelevantContext.DateKind) -> RelevantContext
```

## Parameters

- `exact`: The moment the widget becomes most relevant to a person.
- `kind`: An additional contextual hint that helps the system determine the widget’s relevance.

## Return Value

Return Value A contextual clue that the system uses to determine the relevance of a widget in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch.

## Discussion

Discussion Several widgets might be relevant to a person at a specific time. To help the system show a widget when it’s most relevant, provide a DateKind as an additional contextual hint to help it determine the widget’s relevance. For example, a widget that’s related to a person’s schedule or requires an action, pass scheduled. note: Smart Stacks are available in iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. However, functionality provided by RelevanceKit API is only available in watchOS. Calling its API on other platforms doesn’t have any effect. For more information, refer to Increasing the visibility of widgets in Smart Stacks.
