# ViewBuilder A custom parameter attribute that constructs views from closures. ``` @resultBuilder struct ViewBuilder ``` ## Overview When you build your project in Xcode 26 and earlier, use [`ViewBuilder`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ViewBuilder) as a parameter attribute for view-producing closure parameters, allowing those closures to provide multiple child views. For example, the following `contextMenu` function accepts a closure that produces one or more views via the view builder. ``` func contextMenu( @ViewBuilder menuItems: () -> MenuItems ) -> some View ``` Clients of this function can use multiple-statement closures to provide several child views, as the following example shows: ``` myView.contextMenu { Text("Cut") Text("Copy") Text("Paste") if isSymbol { Text("Jump to Definition") } } ``` When you build in Xcode 27 and later for any version of SwiftUI, the system constructs type-agnostic content from `ViewBuilder` closures, and doesn’t restrict the types you use in closures to conform to [`View`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View). Mark closures with the type alias [`ContentBuilder`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ContentBuilder) instead to indicate where your code expects this behavior. For more information, see [`ContentBuilder`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ContentBuilder). ## Topics ### Building content [`static buildBlock ()`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ViewBuilder/buildBlock()) Builds an empty content from a block containing no statements. [`static buildBlock ( _ :)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ViewBuilder/buildBlock(_:)) Passes a single piece of content written as a child view through unmodified. ### Conditionally building content [`buildEither(first:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ViewBuilder/buildEither(first:)) Produces content for a conditional statement in a multi-statement closure when the condition is true. [`buildEither(second:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ViewBuilder/buildEither(second:)) Produces content for a conditional statement in a multi-statement closure when the condition is false. [`static buildIf ( _ :)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ViewBuilder/buildIf(_:)) Produces optional content for conditional statements in multi-statement closures that’s only included when the condition evaluates to true.
