# draggable(_:containerNamespace:_:)

Activates this view as the source of a drag and drop operation,
allowing to provide optional identifiable
payload and specify the namespace of the drag container this view
belongs to.

```
nonisolated func draggable<Item>(_ itemType: Item.Type = Item.self, containerNamespace: Namespace.ID? = nil, _ item: @escaping () -> Item?) -> some View where Item : Transferable, Item : Identifiable, Item.ID : Sendable
```

## Parameters

`itemType`

A type of the dragged item.

`containerNamespace`

A namespace of the associated drag container.

`item`

A closure that returns a single
instance or a value conforming to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreTransferable/Transferable> that
represents the draggable data from this view.

## Return Value

A view that activates this view as the source of a drag and
drop operation, beginning with user gesture input.

## Discussion

Applying the `draggable(_:containerNamespace_:)` modifier adds the
appropriate gestures for drag and drop to this view.

```
var fruits: [Fruit]

var body: some View {
    ScrollView {
        VStack {
            ForEach(fruits) { fruit in
                FruitView(fruit)
                    .draggable(fruit)
            }
        }
    }
}

struct Fruit: Identifiable, Transferable { ... }
```

If the draggable view is enclosed in a container, it participates
in container drag-and-drop sessions:

```
var fruits: [Fruit]
var selectedFruits: [Fruit.ID]

var body: some View {
    ScrollView {
        VStack {
            ForEach(fruits) { fruit in
                FruitView(fruit)
                    .draggable(fruit)
            }
        }
    }
    .dragContainer(for: Fruit.self) { identifiers in
        fruits(with: identifiers)
    }
    .dragContainerSelection(selectedFruits)
}

func fruits(with: [Fruit.ID]) -> [Fruit] { ... }
struct Fruit: Identifiable, Transferable { ... }
```

When a drag operation begins, a rendering of this view is
generated and used as the preview image.
