# verticalBarEdge

The edge where the system places the vertical bar.

```
var verticalBarEdge: UIVerticalBarEdge { get }
```

## Discussion

This property reflects the system’s preferred edge regardless of whether a
vertical bar is currently visible. Returns `UIVerticalBarEdgeUnspecified` on
devices and in contexts where the system never places a vertical bar — for
example hardware without a vertical bar, or a size class or orientation in
which no vertical bar is used.
