# UITableViewDropDelegate

The interface for handling drops in a table view.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor protocol UITableViewDropDelegate : NSObjectProtocol
```

## Mentioned in

Supporting drag and drop in table views

## Overview

Overview Implement this protocol in the object that you use to incorporate dropped data into your table view. The only required method of this protocol is the tableView(_:performDropWith:) method, but you can implement other methods as needed to customize the drop behavior of your table view. Assign your custom delegate object to the dropDelegate property of your table view.
