# DynamicPropertyPath A type-safe, dynamic path to access nested intent values. ``` @dynamicMemberLookup struct DynamicPropertyPath ``` ## Overview You typically don’t create instances of `DynamicPropertyPath` directly. The system returns instances of the type to indicate that you can further traverse a nested property. Use `DynamicPropertyPath` for chained property access and array indexing on entities and intent results. ```swift // Navigate nested properties. let name: String = try entity.profile.name // Index properties into an array. let first: String = try entity.tags[0] // Cast the entity to a known entity type definition. let coffee: AnyAppEntity = try result.value.as(CoffeeEntity) ``` ## Topics ### Instance Methods [`func `as`(T.Type) throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/as(_:)-5po1a) Casts a property to the provided type. [`func `as`(IntentType) throws -> IntentType.Instance`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/as(_:)-6n9rh) Casts the value to the given type. [`func get(as: T.Type) async throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/get(as:)) Resolves the value at this path, fetching it from the app if it was deferred. ### Subscripts [`subscript(Int) -> (any IntentValueExpressing)?`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/subscript(_:)-1hj9z) Accesses a collection element by index, without casting. [`subscript(Int) -> DynamicPropertyPath`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/subscript(_:)-4bof1) Accesses a nested property on a collection element by index. [`subscript(Int) -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/subscript(_:)-kiay) Accesses a collection element by index, for comparison with a known value. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> DynamicPropertyPath`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/subscript(dynamicMember:)-aj9z) Creates a dynamic path for navigating deeper into a nested property hierarchy. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> (any IntentValueExpressing)?`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/subscript(dynamicMember:)-hqdv) Accesses a property by name without casting. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/DynamicPropertyPath/subscript(dynamicMember:)-lizi) Accesses a typed property at the current path by name. ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
