--- title: prototypes framework: tvml role: collectionGroup path: tvml/prototypes --- # prototypes Defines a group of elements that can be reused through binding. ## Overview Overview The prototypes element is used to bind data item types, simplifying the template layout. A single binding definition provides the ability to display any number of data items. For more information on data binding, see TVML Programming Guide. Here’s an example that uses the prototypes element to display an undefined number of lockup elements. </lockup> </prototypes> <section binding="items:{images};" /> Subelements of prototypes prototypes can contain any element that can be contained by a section element.
