# DeviceHinge

A type encapsulating the state of a single hinge.

## Declaration

```swift
struct DeviceHinge
```

## Overview

Overview A hinge provides its angle along with a status determined by the system based on the current angle and device orientation. You use this type with the View/onHingeChange(_:) modifier. @State private var hinge: DeviceHinge? = nil

var body: some View {     VStack {         if let hinge {             AngleDisplayView(angle: hinge.angle)             StatusDisplayView(status: hinge.status)         } else {             ContentUnavailableView(                 "Hinge Unavailable",                 systemImage: "rectangle.split.2x1")         }     }     .onHingeChange { _, newContext in         hinge = newContext.hinge     } } In the example above, the current angle and status of the hinge will be displayed in the app as you interact with the hinge.
