# makeUIView(context:)

Creates the view object and configures its initial state.

```
@MainActor @preconcurrency func makeUIView(context: Self.Context) -> Self.UIViewType
```

## Parameters

`context`

A context structure containing information about
the current state of the system.

## Return Value

Your UIKit view configured with the provided information.

## Discussion

You must implement this method and use it to create your view object.
Configure the view using your app’s current data and contents of the
`context` parameter. The system calls this method only once, when it
creates your view for the first time. For all subsequent updates, the
system calls the [`updateUIView(_:context:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/UIViewRepresentable/updateUIView(_:context:))
method.
