A followup to the Intro to Relative Data Binding video, we walk through how to use relative binding at runtime to swap out artboards without rewiring your data. As long as the view model property names match, you can drop in a completely different design and all your bindings just work.
Covers:
• Swapping artboards at runtime using a view model artboard property
• Using relative binding across artboards from different files
• Nested view models in a multi-component dashboard
• Replacing a chart component at runtime with data that automatically maps over
