# hidesBarsOnSwipe

A Boolean value indicating whether the navigation bar hides its bars in response to a swipe gesture.

## Declaration

```swift
var hidesBarsOnSwipe: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When this property is set to true, an upward swipe hides the navigation bar and toolbar. A downward swipe shows both bars again. If the toolbar does not have any items, it remains visible even after a swipe. The default value of this property is false.
