Anatomy of a Bindable Property

public string Text
{
  get { return _text; } // Getter returns backing field
  set
  {
    if (value != _text) // Only update field if value is changed
    {
      _text = value;    // Set backing field
      NotifyPropertyChanged(nameof(Text)); // Alert subscribers to change in Property with name of property
    }
  }
}

[SerializeField]
string _text;
