# sources

The source files in this target.

## Declaration

```swift
var sources: [String]?
```

## Discussion

Discussion If this property is nil, Swift Package Manager includes all valid source files in the target’s path and treats specified paths as relative to the target’s path. A path can be a path to a directory or an individual source file. In case of a directory, Swift Package Manager searches for valid source files recursively inside it.
