# touchBar

The Touch Bar object for the responder.

## Declaration

```swift
var touchBar: NSTouchBar? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property’s default value — on devices with a Touch Bar — is the NSTouchBar instance that the responder’s makeTouchBar() method returns. Otherwise, the default value is nil.
