# UIContextMenuConfiguration

An object containing the configuration details for the contextual menu.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class UIContextMenuConfiguration
```

## Overview

Overview Before displaying a contextual menu, the system asks your UIContextMenuInteractionDelegate to provide a UIContextMenuConfiguration object with details about that menu. In your contextMenuInteraction(_:configurationForMenuAtLocation:) method, use the location parameter to determine where the interaction occurred, and use the content at that location to configure your contextual menu and view controller. Provide custom blocks to generate: The contextual menu with the actions for your content. An optional view controller to use when displaying your content. If you specify a default object without any custom handler blocks, the system displays a default preview interface with no menu.
