# title

A localized string that represents the view this controller manages.

## Declaration

```swift
var title: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Set the title to a human-readable string that describes the view. If the view controller has a valid navigation item or tab-bar item, assigning a value to this property updates the title text of those objects.
