# callAsFunction()

Initiates a refresh action.

## Declaration

```swift
func callAsFunction() async
```

## Discussion

Discussion Don’t call this method directly. SwiftUI calls it when you call the RefreshAction structure that you get from the Environment: struct RefreshableView: View {     @Environment(\.refresh) private var refresh

var body: some View {         Button("Refresh") {             Task {                 await refresh?()  // Implicitly calls refresh.callAsFunction()             }         }         .disabled(refresh == nil)     } } For information about how Swift uses the callAsFunction() method to simplify call site syntax, see Methods with Special Names in The Swift Programming Language.
