# BindableValue The value of a bindable target. ``` struct BindableValue where T : BindableData ``` ## Overview This structure holds the value of an animatable property ([`animatedValue`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/animatedValue)), that is, the target property that animates. In addition, the structure stores the property’s original value ([`baseValue`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/baseValue)), which represents the property’s value before a running animation starts. The [`value`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/value) property returns the animated value when an animation runs; when the animation isn’t running, it returns the base value. ## Topics ### Creating a value [`init(T, animatedValue: T?)`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/init(_:animatedValue:)) Creates a bindable value. ### Accessing the value [`var value: T`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/value) The main accessor for the bind value. [`var baseValue: T`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/baseValue) A value that reflects the state of the animated property before or after an animation. [`var animatedValue: T?`](/documentation/RealityKit/BindableValue/animatedValue) A value that represents the state of the animated property as an animation progresses. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
