# Introduction
Repeaters provide a way for you to add repeating content to a page.
 Repeaters consist of repeating items, each with the same layout
 but different data.

 For example, the repeater below contains 3 items, each with the same
 layout. There's 1 image on the left and 2 text elements on the right.
 However, the data in each item is different. That is, the actual images and
 text values are different in each repeated item.

 ![Repeater example](https://wixmp-833713b177cebf373f611808.wixmp.com/images/velo-images/media_repeater.png "Repeater example")

 Populate your repeater with data using one of the following:

 + Connect each element contained within a [repeater's items](https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/velo-only-apis/$w/repeater/create-and-access-repeated-item-data.md) to a
   dataset in the editor. Click `Connect to CMS` and select
   your dataset. You only need to connect the elements in the first
   item and the connection automatically applies to all repeated items.
 + Use the [`data`](#data) property to pass an array of items to the repeater.
   This data comes from your Wix site's collections or a third-party database.
   Then use [`forEachItem()`](#forEachItem), [`forItems()`](#forItems), 
   and [`onItemReady()`](#onItemReady) methods to display the data in each
   repeated item.
