struct Current

The current runtime behavior of an app intent. This type provides information about an app intent’s current runtime behavior. When an intent runs, its ``AppIntent/systemContext`` property contains additional contextual information you can use to make decisions. Specifically, the ``IntentSystemContext/currentMode`` property tells you whether the intent is currently running in the foreground or background. Don’t create instances of this type yourself. Instead, compare the value in the ``IntentSystemContext/currentMode`` property to the static values this type defines. You can also check the ``IntentModes/Current/canContinueInForeground`` property to determine if a background intent can switch to the foreground. The following code shows how to use this type from an app intent's ``AppIntent/perform()`` method: ```swift if systemContext.currentMode == .background { if systemContext.currentMode.canContinueInForeground { try await continueInForeground() } else { // The current conditions don't allow the app intent to continue in the foreground, // so it needs to continue in the background. } } ```
