# onContinuousHover(coordinateSpace:perform:) Adds an action to perform when the pointer enters, moves within, and exits the view’s bounds. ``` nonisolated func onContinuousHover(coordinateSpace: some CoordinateSpaceProtocol = .local, perform action: @escaping (HoverPhase) -> Void) -> some View ``` ## Parameters `coordinateSpace` The coordinate space for the location values. The default value is `CoordinateSpace/local`. `action` The action to perform whenever the pointer enters, moves within, or exits the view’s bounds. The closure takes a `phase` input that has the value `HoverPhase/active(_:)` and contains the pointer’s coordinates if the pointer is within the view’s bounds. The closure receives the `HoverPhase/ended` phase when the pointer leaves the view’s bounds. ## Return Value A view that calls `action` when the pointer enters, moves within, or exits the view’s bounds. ## Discussion Use this modifier to define a region for detecting pointer movement with a view. The following example updates a small rectangle’s position and style by modifying `hoverLocation` and `isHovering` as the pointer moves within the larger, red rectangle: ``` @State private var hoverLocation: CGPoint = .zero @State private var isHovering = false var body: some View { Color.red .frame(width: 400, height: 400) .onContinuousHover { phase in switch phase { case .active(let location): hoverLocation = location isHovering = true case .ended: isHovering = false } } .overlay { Rectangle() .frame(width: 50, height: 50) .foregroundStyle(isHovering ? .green : .blue) .offset(x: hoverLocation.x, y: hoverLocation.y) } } ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
