# itemFormatter

An object that formats each item in the list.

## Declaration

```swift
@NSCopying var itemFormatter: Formatter? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If this property isn’t set, the list formatter falls back to the item’s description(withLocale:) or localizedDescription methods if implemented. If those methods aren’t implemented, the formatter uses description instead.
