# url

The path value displayed by the receiver.

## Declaration

```swift
var url: URL? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When setting, an array of NSPathComponentCell objects is automatically set based on the path in url. If url is a file URL (returns true from isFileURL), the images are automatically filled with file icons, if the path exists. The URL value itself is stored in the objectValue property of the cell.
