# focusedValue(_:)

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated func focusedValue<T>(_ object: T?) -> some View where T : AnyObject, T : Observable

```

## Mentioned in

Building and customizing the menu bar with SwiftUI

## Discussion

Discussion important: This initializer only accepts objects conforming to the Observable protocol. For reading environment objects that conform to ObservableObject, use focusedObject(_:), instead. To read this value, use the FocusedValue property wrapper.
