# sectionHeaderHeight

The height of section headers in the table view.

## Declaration

```swift
var sectionHeaderHeight: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Mentioned in

Adding headers and footers to table sections

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is automaticDimension. If the delegate doesn’t implement tableView(_:heightForHeaderInSection:), the table view calculates the height automatically. To override automatic height calculation, set this property to a positive value.
