# fileExporter(isPresented:items:contentTypes:onCompletion:onCancellation:)

Presents a system dialog allowing the user to export
a collection of `Transferable` items to files on disk.

```
nonisolated func fileExporter<C, T>(isPresented: Binding<Bool>, items: C, contentTypes: [UTType] = [], onCompletion: @escaping (Result<[URL], any Error>) -> Void, onCancellation: @escaping () -> Void = { }) -> some View where C : Collection, T : Transferable, T == C.Element
```

## Parameters

`isPresented`

A binding to whether the dialog should be shown.

`items`

Collection of values to be saved on disk.

`contentTypes`

The content types to use for the exported files.
If empty, SwiftUI uses the content types from the
`transferRepresentation` property provided for `Transferable`
conformance.

`onCompletion`

A callback that will be invoked when the operation has
succeeded or failed.

`onCancellation`

A callback that will be invoked
if the user cancels the operation.

## Discussion

In order for the dialog to appear, `isPresented` must be set to `true`.
When the operation is finished, `isPresented` will be set to `false`
before `onCompletion` is called. If the user cancels the operation,
`isPresented` will be set to `false` and `onCancellation` will be
called.

For example, a button that exports a collection of photos might look
like this:

```
struct ExportPhotosButton: View {
    @State private var isExporterPresented = false
    var photos: [Photo]

    var body: some View {
        Button("Export Photos") {
            isExporterPresented = true
        }
        .fileExporter(
            isPresented: $isExporterPresented,
            items: photos
        ) { result in
            switch result {
            case .success(let urls):
                urls.forEach { print("Saved to \($0)") }
            case .failure(let error):
                print(error)
            }
        }
    }
}

struct Photo: Transferable { ... }
```

To further configure the dialog’s appearance and behavior, use these
view modifiers: [`fileDialogDefaultDirectory(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fileDialogDefaultDirectory(_:)),
[`fileDialogConfirmationLabel(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fileDialogConfirmationLabel(_:)), [`fileDialogMessage(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fileDialogMessage(_:)),
[`fileDialogBrowserOptions(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fileDialogBrowserOptions(_:)),
[`fileExporterFilenameLabel(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fileExporterFilenameLabel(_:)), and
[`fileDialogCustomizationID(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/fileDialogCustomizationID(_:)).
