# draggable(_:item:containerNamespace:)

Activates this view as the source of a drag and drop operation, allowing to provide optional identifiable payload and specify the namespace of the drag container this view belongs to.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func draggable<Item>(_ itemType: Item.Type = Item.self, item: @autoclosure @escaping () -> Item?, containerNamespace: Namespace.ID? = nil) -> some View where Item : Transferable, Item : Identifiable, Item.ID : Sendable

```

## Parameters

- `itemType`: A type of the dragged item.
- `item`: A closure that returns a single instance or a value conforming to doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreTransferable/Transferable that represents the draggable data from this view.
- `containerNamespace`: A namespace of the associated drag container.

## Return Value

Return Value A view that activates this view as the source of a drag and drop operation, beginning with user gesture input.

## Discussion

Discussion Applying the draggable(_:_:containerNamespace:) modifier adds the appropriate gestures for drag and drop to this view. When a drag operation begins, a rendering of this view is generated and used as the preview image. If the view is enclosed in a dragContainer(for:in:_), the view becomes its draggable element, and the item’s identifier is used as drag payload identifier.    var fruits: [Fruit]    var selectedFruits: [Fruit.ID]

var body: some View {        ScrollView {            VStack {                ForEach(fruits) { fruit in                    FruitView(fruit)                        .draggable(fruit)                }            }        }        .dragContainer(for: Fruit.self) { identifiers in            fruits(with: identifiers)        }    }

func fruits(with: [Fruit.ID]) -> [Fruit] { ... }    struct Fruit: Identifiable, Transferable { ... }
