# setData()

Updates data values for the selected component. Only the data fields you include in `values` are updated. Every other field keeps its current value.

Each key in `values` must already be declared in the manifest's `editorElement.data`. A key that isn't declared there doesn't update the component. If you need a new field, add it to the manifest first.

## Syntax

```ts
function setData<T extends ElementData = ElementData>(
  values: Partial<T>
): Promise<void>
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| :---- | :---- | :---- |
| `values` | object | Data field keys and their new values. Each key must match a key returned by [`getDataDefinitions()`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/host-modules/editor/react-elements/data/get-data-definitions.md). |

## Returns

`Promise<void>`

## Example

```js
import { reactElements } from '@wix/editor';

await reactElements.setData({
  title: 'New Title',
  showButton: false,
});
```
