# UI Binding

[![UIBinding](https://github.com/doorfortyfour/DataboxDocumentation/raw/master/docs/img/uibinding.png)](https://github.com/doorfortyfour/DataboxDocumentation/blob/master/docs/img/uibinding.png)

Databox has a very simple but powerful UI Binding component which allows you to bind Unity UI elements - Text, InputFields, Sliders, Toggles... - to a specific Databox object.

Simply add the `DataboxUIBinding` component to a UI Element, define the table, entry and value id and you're done.\
Make sure to set the Bind On Database Load to true if you want to bind the ui as soon as the Databox object has been loaded. That requires that you load the database on runtime by script. If you set the On Database Load to false you will need to call the Bind method manually.\
Please see the example scene for more information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://giantgrey.gitbook.io/databox-documentation/ui-binding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
