# candidateList

The standard identifier for a candidate list bar item.

```
static let candidateList: NSTouchBarItem.Identifier
```

## Discussion

This value is the identifier for [`NSCandidateListTouchBarItem`](/documentation/AppKit/NSCandidateListTouchBarItem). Use a candidate list bar item to show word completion candidates to assist users typing text.
