# IntentRecommendation

An object that describes a recommended intent configuration for a user-customizable widget.

## Declaration

```swift
struct IntentRecommendation<T> where T : INIntent
```

## Overview

Overview By adding a custom SiriKit intent definition to your project and using an IntentTimelineProvider, you allow users to configure widgets to show data that’s most relevant to them. Some platforms don’t have a dedicated user interface to configure all of your intent parameters. For example, watchOS doesn’t offer a dedicated user interface to configure data that appears on a complication. Use intent recommendations in watchOS to offer preconfigured complications that show data that’s most relevant to the user. note: On platforms that offer a dedicated user interface for configuring widgets — for example, iOS or macOS — IntentRecommendation is inactive. For example, say you develop a game app that allows users to view their in-game character. With intent recommendations, you can recommend an intent configuration for a watch complication that displays character information. The following example shows a function to create a list of recommended configurations for a game widget that shows current energy levels for a game character. public func recommendations() -> [IntentRecommendation<DynamicCharacterSelectionIntent>] {     return CharacterDetail.availableCharacters.         map { character in             let hero = Hero(identifier: character.name, display: character.name)             let intent = DynamicCharacterSelectionIntent()             intent.hero = hero

return IntentRecommendation(intent: intent, description: Text(character.name))         }     }
