## Declaration

optional func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, shouldSpringLoadItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, with context: any UISpringLoadedInteractionContext) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `collectionView`: The collection view object notifying you of the interaction.
- `indexPath`: The index path of the item for which the spring-loading behavior applies.
- `context`: A context object containing information about the item and view on which to display the spring-loading interaction.

## Return Value

Return Value true to apply the spring-loading behavior for the item or false to suppress the behavior altogether.

Discussion If you do not implement this method, the collection view assumes a return value of true.
