# imageComponents

An array of dragging image components to use to create the drag image.

```
var imageComponents: [NSDraggingImageComponent]? { get }
```

## Discussion

The array contains copies of the components. The drag does not reflect changes you make to these copies. If needed, the system calls the [`imageComponentsProvider`](/documentation/AppKit/NSDraggingItem/imageComponentsProvider) block to generate the image components.
