# onContinuousHover(coordinateSpace:perform:)

Adds an action to perform when the pointer enters, moves within, and exits the view’s bounds.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func onContinuousHover(coordinateSpace: CoordinateSpace = .local, perform action: @escaping (HoverPhase) -> Void) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `coordinateSpace`: The coordinate space for the location values. Defaults to doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/CoordinateSpace/local.
- `action`: The action to perform whenever the pointer enters, moves within, or exits the view’s bounds. The action closure passes the doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/HoverPhase/active(_:) phase with the pointer’s coordinates if the pointer is in the view’s bounds; otherwise, it passes doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/HoverPhase/ended.

## Return Value

Return Value A view that calls action when the pointer enters, moves within, or exits the view’s bounds.

## Discussion

Discussion Call this method to define a region for detecting pointer movement with the size and position of this view. The following example updates hoverLocation and isHovering to be 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)             }     } }
