Can I provide multiple formats for the same data?

Absolutely. This skill covers how to use multiple TransferRepresentations so you can export high-quality data (like a custom object) while providing a plain text fallback.

What is the Transferable protocol in SwiftUI?

Transferable is a declarative protocol introduced in iOS 16 that allows Swift types to be shared via drag and drop, copy/paste, and ShareLink.

Does this skill help with custom file types?

Yes, it provides guidance on defining custom UTTypes (Uniform Type Identifiers) and declaring them in your Info.plist for specialized data transfer.

Does it support file exporting and importing?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for FileRepresentation, FileExporter, and FileImporter using the FileDocument protocol.

Mobile Development

Implements the Transferable protocol for drag-and-drop, copy-paste, and system sharing in SwiftUI apps.

About

This skill provides comprehensive implementation patterns for the Transferable protocol, enabling seamless data transfer across SwiftUI applications. It guides developers through setting up custom UTTypes, managing Codable, Data, and File representations, and integrating system-level features like ShareLink, universal clipboard, and drag-and-drop. By leveraging this skill, developers can create fluid, interactive Apple platform experiences that allow users to move content between apps and system services with minimal boilerplate.

Key Features

ShareLink and system share sheet integration with previews
Declarative Transferable protocol conformance for custom data types
Comprehensive clipboard support with PasteButton and context menus
Draggable and DropDestination modifier implementation
0 GitHub stars
Advanced data representations (Codable, Data, File, and Proxy)

Use Cases

Implementing cross-app drag-and-drop for custom media or document types
Enabling complex copy-paste workflows for specialized data structures
Adding system-level sharing capabilities to notes or social applications
