Custom Binds

Package contains components for binding UI Text, UI Image's sprite and UI Graphics's color. Custom binds can be created simply by implementing IBindable interface.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class BindPosition : MonoBehaviour, IBindable
{
	[SerializeField]
	private Transform m_Target;
	[SerializeField]
	private string m_Key;

	public void Bind(DataBindContext context)
	{
		if (context.ContainsKey(m_Key)) {
			m_Target.position = (Vector3)context[m_Key];
		}
	}
}

Bind any property

You can bind any two properties using BindProperty component. Currently, there is no type checking. If destination property is of type String, then source will be converted using ToString method.
