# delegate

The receiver’s delegate.

## Declaration

```swift
unowned(unsafe) var delegate: (any NSDrawerDelegate)? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion You may find it useful to associate a delegate with a drawer, especially since drawers do not open and close instantly. A drawer’s delegate can better regulate drawer behavior.
