## Declaration

```swift
func attribute<T>(of attributeType: T.Type) -> T? where T : CapturedRoomAttribute
```

## Discussion

Discussion This function provides details about an object based on attribute type. For example, the following code checks whether an object the framework observes during a scan resembles a dining table: let chairType = object.attribute(of: ChairType.self) if chairType == .dining { /* ... */ }
