# isLeafItem(_:)

Returns whether the specified item is a leaf item.

## Declaration

```swift
func isLeafItem(_ item: Any?) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `item`: The item to be checked.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the item is a leaf item; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion This method may return false if the item has never been displayed in the browser or accessed via item(at:). Overriding this method has no effect. It may be used only if the browser’s delegate implements the item data source methods.
