Reuse UXML files

You can create a UXML file as a template and reuse it in other UXML files.

Import a UXML template

When you design a large user interface, you can create template UXML files that define parts of the UI, and use the <Template> and <Instance> elements to import it into another UXML file.

For example, if you have a portrait UI element that has an image, a name, and a label, you can create a UXML template file as Assets/Portrait.uxml with the following content:

<ui:UXML ...>
    <ui:VisualElement class="portrait">
        <ui:Image name="portaitImage" style="--unity-image: url(\"a.png\")"/>
        <ui:Label name="nameLabel" text="Name"/>
        <ui:Label name="levelLabel" text="42"/>
    </ui:VisualElement>
</ui:UXML>

You can then reuse the Portrait template like this:

<ui:UXML ...>
    <ui:Template src="/Assets/Portrait.uxml" name="Portrait"/>
    <ui:VisualElement name="players">
        <ui:Instance template="Portrait" name="player1"/>
        <ui:Instance template="Portrait" name="player2"/>
    </ui:VisualElement>
</ui:UXML>

Override UXML attributes

When you create instances of a UXML template, you can override the default attribute values of its elements. Attribute overrides allow you to instantiate the same template many times with different values for each instance.

Override an attribute

You can override attributes with the UXML tag. To override an attribute, specify the following:

• The element-name attribute of the element whose attributes you want to override
• 要覆盖的属性的名称。
• 新属性值

For example, if you want to display the same set of information for each player in your game, you can create a UXML template, and use attribute overrides to create player-specific instances.

First, create a template, such as MyTemplate.uxml, with the following content:

<UXML xmlns="Unityui.UIElements">
    <Label name="player-name-label" text="default name" />
    <Label name="player-score-label" text="default score" />
</UXML>

Then, instance it from another UXML file and override its attributes to display each player’s name and score:

<UXML xmlns="UnityEngine.UIElements" xmlns:uie="UnityEditor.UIElements">
    <Template src="MyTemplate.uxml" name="MyTemplate" />
    <Instance name="player1" template="MyTemplate">
        <!-- Alice is the new value of the text attribute for the player-name-label -->
        <AttributeOverrides element-name="player-name-label" text="Alice" /> 
        <!-- 2 is the new value of the text attribute for the player-score-label -->
        <AttributeOverrides element-name="player-score-label" text="2" />
    </Instance>
    <Instance name="player2" template="MyTemplate">
        <!-- Bob is the new value of the text attribute for the player-name-label -->
        <AttributeOverrides element-name="player-name-label" text="Bob" />
        <!-- 1 is the new value of the text attribute for the player-score-label -->
        <AttributeOverrides element-name="player-score-label" text="1" />
    </Instance>
</UXML>

Override multiple attributes

您可以为每个覆盖指定多个属性。例如，以下语法查找名为 player-name-label 的实例中的任何元素，并且

• 用新值 Alice 覆盖其 text 属性的默认值。
• 用新值 Tooltip 1 覆盖其 tooltip 属性的默认值。

<AttributeOverrides element-name="player-name-label" text="Alice" tooltip="Tooltip 1" />

Nest attribute overrides

属性覆盖通过元素层级结构中的嵌套模板传播。例如，如果模板 A 实例化模板 B，而模板 B 实例化模板 C，则模板 A 和模板 B 都可以覆盖模板 C 中的属性。

When you override attributes in nested templates, the deepest override takes precedence. In the example above, if template A and template B both override the same attribute of template C, the override in template B determines what actually appears in the rendered UI.

限制

Attribute overrides have the following limitations:

• Attribute overrides find matching attributes according to the element name you specify. You can’t use USS Selectors or UQuery to match elements.
• Although you can override an element’s binding-path attribute, data binding doesn’t work with attribute overrides.
• You can’t override an element’s name or style attributes.

Specify where child elements are nested in a UXML template

You can use the content-container attribute of a visual element to specify where child elements are nested in a UXML template. For example, if you have the following UXML template file as Assets/MyTemplate.uxml:

<ui:UXML xmlns:ui="UnityEngine.UIElements" ...>
    <ui:Label text="Group Title" name="groupTitle" />
    <ui:VisualElement name="group-container" content-container="anyValue">
         <!--Add child elements here -->
    </ui:VisualElement>
    <ui:VisualElement/>
</ui:UXML>

You can then apply the template with nested child elements as this:

<ui:UXML xmlns:ui="UnityEngine.UIElements" ...>
    <Template path="Assets/MyTemplate.uxml" name="my-template"/>
    <ui:Instance template="my-template">
        <ui:Label text="Test"/> <!--This label element will be instantiated inside the `group-container` element.-->
    </ui:Instance>
    <ui:Instance template="my-template">
        <ui:Label text="Test"/> <!--This label element will be instantiated in the template -->
    </ui:Instance>
</ui:UXML>

Note: You can provide any value to the content-container attribute.
