# header

The contents of the section header.

## Declaration

```swift
var header: SubviewsCollection { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Notably, the section’s header is a SubviewsCollection, not a Subview, as it can be made up of multiple subviews. That means in most cases, the subviews collection should be treated as a collection (either indexed into, or used with a ForEach), or the subviews collection should be wrapped in a container view, like a layout, or other custom container: ForEach(sections: content) {     VStack {         HStack { section.header }         HStack { section.footer }     } } Here, we surround the header and footer in an HStack layout to avoid vertically stacking the subviews of the header and footer which we want visually grouped together. Additionally, we surround the ForEach body in a VStack, so it is treated as a single view by containers it gets passed to.
