# UITextCursorDropPositionAnimator

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class UITextCursorDropPositionAnimator
```

## Overview

Overview Provides a mechanism for displaying and animating a temporary text cursor to indicate a drop location. For custom text view implementations that implement drag and drop functionality, use this animator providing either your own UITextCursorView implementation or a concrete implementation to indicate at which point in your document the dropped item will be inserted. Using this animator provides you with all of the default system animations for how the text cursor would behave.
