# client

The owner of this input context. (read-only)

## Declaration

```swift
var client: any NSTextInputClient { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The client (owner) of the input context, typically an NSView instance, retains its NSTextInputContext instance. The NSTextInputContext instance doesn’t retain its client.
