How do I support drag and drop on tvOS using Swift?

In this guide, we'll explore how to implement drag and drop functionality on tvOS using Swift. Drag and drop can enhance the user experience on your tvOS applications by allowing users to move items around easily.

To enable drag and drop, you’ll utilize the `UIDragInteraction` and `UIDropInteraction` classes. Here's a simple example to get you started:

import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController, UIDragInteractionDelegate, UIDropInteractionDelegate { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let dragInteraction = UIDragInteraction(delegate: self) let dropInteraction = UIDropInteraction(delegate: self) self.view.addInteraction(dragInteraction) self.view.addInteraction(dropInteraction) } // MARK: - UIDragInteractionDelegate func dragInteraction(_ interaction: UIDragInteraction, itemsForBeginning session: UIDragSession) -> [UIDragItem] { let itemProvider = NSItemProvider(object: "My Draggable Item" as NSString) let dragItem = UIDragItem(itemProvider: itemProvider) return [dragItem] } // MARK: - UIDropInteractionDelegate func dropInteraction(_ interaction: UIDropInteraction, canHandle session: UIDropSession) -> Bool { return session.canLoadObjects(ofClass: NSString.self) } func dropInteraction(_ interaction: UIDropInteraction, performDrop session: UIDropSession) { session.loadObjects(ofClass: NSString.self) { items in if let item = items.first as? String { print("Dropped item: \(item)") } } } }
