# onTapGesture(count:coordinateSpace:perform:)

Adds an action to perform when this view recognizes a tap gesture, and provides the action with the location of the interaction.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func onTapGesture(count: Int = 1, coordinateSpace: CoordinateSpace = .local, perform action: @escaping (CGPoint) -> Void) -> some View

```

## Parameters

- `count`: The number of taps or clicks required to trigger the action closure provided in action. Defaults to 1.
- `coordinateSpace`: The coordinate space in which to receive location values. Defaults to doc://com.apple.SwiftUI/documentation/SwiftUI/CoordinateSpace/local.
- `action`: The action to perform. This closure receives an input that indicates where the interaction occurred.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to perform the specified action when the user clicks or taps on the modified view count times. The action closure receives the location of the interaction. note: If you create a control that’s functionally equivalent to a Button, use ButtonStyle to create a customized button instead. The following code adds a tap gesture to a Circle that toggles the color of the circle based on the tap location. struct TapGestureExample: View {     @State private var location: CGPoint = .zero

var body: some View {         Circle()             .fill(self.location.y > 50 ? Color.blue : Color.red)             .frame(width: 100, height: 100, alignment: .center)             .onTapGesture { location in                 self.location = location             }     } }
