# items

An array containing the toolbar’s current items, in order.

```
var items: [NSToolbarItem] { get }
```

## Discussion

To specify the default order of your toolbar’s items, implement the [`toolbarDefaultItemIdentifiers(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSToolbarDelegate/toolbarDefaultItemIdentifiers(_:)) method in your toolbar delegate object. Use other methods of your delegate object to manage the placement of items in the toolbar.
