UI Toolkit runtime data binding: Basics

Runtime data binding in UI Toolkit connects your user interface directly to application data so the UI automatically reflects changes in state. This reduces the amount of manual update logic for every element. This video introduces how to set up runtime data binding in UI Toolkit using UI Builder, UXML, and ScriptableObjects. You’ll see how Data Source, Data Source Path, binding modes, and converters work together so your UI displays data with minimal manual scripting.
