This class represents a prefab (prefabricated template) resource that is a description of a scene graph that can be instantiated at runtime.
It is possible to instantiate the same prefab multiple times to create multiple instances of it.
Use prefabs to structure your application and to create consistent interfaces. Prefabs allow you to create the building blocks of your application and make the application easier to maintain.
Create a prefab for every item in your application that appears more than once, when you want to logically separate a part of your application, or add content to the scene graph when your application is already running.
| ObjectRef<TNodeType> instantiate | ( | String | name | ) |
Instantiate the prefab with a given name.
| name | Name of the root node. |
| <TNodeType> | Expected type of the node, optional. |
