# collectionView(_:didEndDisplaying:forItemAt:)

Tells the delegate that the specified cell was removed from the collection view.

```
optional func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didEndDisplaying cell: UICollectionViewCell, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath)
```

## Parameters

`collectionView`

The collection view object that removed the cell.

`cell`

The cell object that was removed.

`indexPath`

The index path of the data item that the cell represented.

## Discussion

Use this method to detect when a cell is removed from a collection view, as opposed to monitoring the view itself to see when it disappears.
