# HoverPhase

The current hovering state and value of the pointer.

## Declaration

```swift
@frozen enum HoverPhase
```

## Overview

Overview When you use the onContinuousHover(coordinateSpace:perform:) modifier, you can handle the hovering state using the action closure. SwiftUI calls the closure with a phase value to indicate the current hovering state. The following example updates hoverLocation and isHovering based on the phase provided to the closure: @State private var hoverLocation: CGPoint = .zero @State private var isHovering = false

var body: some View {     VStack {         Color.red             .frame(width: 400, height: 400)             .onContinuousHover { phase in                 switch phase {                 case .active(let location):                     hoverLocation = location                     isHovering = true                 case .ended:                     isHovering = false                 }             }             .overlay {                 Rectangle()                     .frame(width: 50, height: 50)                     .foregroundColor(isHovering ? .green : .blue)                     .offset(x: hoverLocation.x, y: hoverLocation.y)             }     } }
