# SegmentedBar
Using a SegmentedBar requires the "ui/segmented-bar" module.

## Creating a SegmentedBar
{%snippet article-create-segmentedbar%}
``` XML
<SegmentedBar>
  <SegmentedBar.items>
    <SegmentedBarItem title="Item 1" />
    <SegmentedBarItem title="Item 2" />
    <SegmentedBarItem title="Item 3" />
  </SegmentedBar.items>
</SegmentedBar>
```
### Creating segmentedBar.items
It is important that an items array gets created and filled with
items first and then assigned to the segmented bar.
