# hasDestructiveAction

A Boolean value that defines whether a button’s action has a destructive effect.

## Declaration

```swift
var hasDestructiveAction: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value of hasDestructiveAction is false. Setting this to true allows the system to guard a destructive-action button against accidental presses, and can give the button a special appearance in certain contexts to caution against unintentional use.
