# attributes(in:) Obtain a lazy sequence of all attribute values the selection has in a given text. ``` func attributes(in text: AttributedString) -> AttributedTextSelection.Attributes ``` ## Discussion The attribute values of a selection are the attribute values of each run that is fully or partially selected, or the typing attributes in the case the selection is an insertion point. By default, the sequence contains the attribute container for every run or the typing attributes. Use the [`AttributedTextSelection.Attributes`](/documentation/SwiftUI/AttributedTextSelection/Attributes)’ subscript to obtain only the values for a single attribute: ``` selection.attributes(in: text)[\.foregroundColor].contains(.red) ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
