# init(message:previousMessages:)

Creates a view that shows suggested actions for the specified message.

```
@MainActor init(message: SuggestedActionsMessage, previousMessages: [SuggestedActionsMessage] = [])
```

## Parameters

`message`

The message that you want to generate suggested actions for.

`previousMessages`

An array of messages that precede the provided `message`.
The Suggested Actions framework uses them as context to generate suggested actions for the `message`. The system
limits the number of previous messages it considers to the value of [`previousMessagesLimit`](/documentation/SuggestedActions/SuggestedActionsMessage/previousMessagesLimit).
This parameter defaults to an empty array if you don’t include previous messages.

## Discussion

Use this initializer to present suggested actions that the framework
generates for a provided message. The Suggested Actions
framework analyzes the message, and previous messages you provide as additional context,
then shows relevant actions that a person can take.

If you call [`generate(message:previousMessages:)`](/documentation/SuggestedActions/SuggestedActionsView/generate(message:previousMessages:)) to generate suggested
actions for future use, and later pass a [`SuggestedActionsMessage`](/documentation/SuggestedActions/SuggestedActionsMessage), the Suggested Actions framework
checks for suggested actions it already generated and cached. If it finds a message with a
matching `id`, the `SuggestedActionsView` uses the cached result and renders the suggested actions
immediately.

The following example shows how an app might show a `SuggestedActionsView` with information from
previous messages:

```swift
struct ChatView: View {
    @Binding
    var messages: [ChatMessage]

    var body: some View {
        ForEach(messages) { message in
            ChatBubble(message)

            SuggestedActionsView(
                message: message.suggestedActionsMessage,
                previousMessages: message.previousMessages
                    .suffix(SuggestedActionsMessage.previousMessagesLimit)
                    .map(\.suggestedActionsMessage)
            )
        }
    }
}
```
