# UIHostingConfiguration

A content configuration suitable for hosting a hierarchy of SwiftUI views.

## Declaration

```swift
struct UIHostingConfiguration<Content, Background> where Content : View, Background : View
```

## Overview

Overview Use a value of this type, which conforms to the UIContentConfiguration protocol, with a UICollectionViewCell or UITableViewCell to host a hierarchy of SwiftUI views in a collection or table view, respectively. For example, the following shows a stack with an image and text inside the cell: myCell.contentConfiguration = UIHostingConfiguration {     HStack {         Image(systemName: "star").foregroundStyle(.purple)         Text("Favorites")         Spacer()     } } You can also customize the background of the containing cell. The following example draws a blue background: myCell.contentConfiguration = UIHostingConfiguration {     HStack {         Image(systemName: "star").foregroundStyle(.purple)         Text("Favorites")         Spacer()     } } .background {     Color.blue } When used in a list layout, certain APIs are bridged automatically, like swipe actions and separator alignment. The following example shows a trailing yellow star swipe action: cell.contentConfiguration = UIHostingConfiguration {     HStack {         Image(systemName: "airplane")         Text("Flight 123")         Spacer()     }     .swipeActions {         Button { ... } label: {             Label("Favorite", systemImage: "star")         }         .tint(.yellow)     } }
