nonisolated func touchBar<Content>(@ContentBuilder content: () -> Content) -> some View where Content : View

```

## Parameters

- `content`: A collection of views to be displayed by the Touch Bar.

## Return Value

## Discussion

Discussion Use touchBar(_:) when you need to dynamically construct items to show in the Touch Bar. The content is displayed by the Touch Bar when appropriate, depending on focus. In the example below, four buttons are added to a Touch Bar content struct and then added to the Touch Bar: let touchBarItems = TouchBar(id: "myBarItems") {     Button("♣️", action: {})     Button("♥️", action: {})     Button("♠️", action: {})     Button("♦️", action: {}) }

TextField("TouchBar Demo", text: $placeholder)     .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity)     .focusable()     .touchBar(touchBarItems)
