 The type definition of the attribute needs to be set as an array and the name of the attribute should be passed to the `attribute` prop of the `Repeater` component.
 
+For example, if a repeater item unit is a group field containing a text field and a checkbox field, the attribute would be defined in `block.json` as:
+
+```json
+"attributes": {
+    "repeaterFieldData": {
+        "type": "array",
+        "default": [
+            {
+                "text": "",
+                "checked": false
+            }
+        ],
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** You should not provide an `id` to the repeater item unit. The Repeater component will automatically generate an `id` for each item.
+
 ```js
 import { Repeater } from '@10up/block-components';
 
 export function BlockEdit(props) {
     const { attributes } = props;
-    const { items } = attributes;
+    const { repeaterFieldData } = attributes;
 
     return (
-        <Repeater attribute="items">
+        <Repeater attribute="repeaterFieldData">
             {( item, index, setItem, removeItem ) => (
                 <>
                     <TextControl key={index} value={item} onChange={(value) => setItem(value)} />
