# date

The date from the schedule that triggered the current view update.

```
let date: Date
```

## Discussion

The first time a [`TimelineView`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineView) closure receives this date, it
might be in the past. For example, if you create an
[`everyMinute`](/documentation/SwiftUI/TimelineSchedule/everyMinute) schedule at `10:09:55`, the
schedule creates entries `10:09:00`, `10:10:00`, `10:11:00`, and so
on. In response, the timeline view performs an initial update
immediately, at `10:09:55`, but the context contains the `10:09:00`
date entry. Subsequent entries arrive at their corresponding times.
