reflect: stable type path v2 (#7184) # Objective - Introduce a stable alternative to [`std::any::type_name`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/any/fn.type_name.html). - Rewrite of #5805 with heavy inspiration in design. - On the path to #5830. - Part of solving #3327. ## Solution - Add a `TypePath` trait for static stable type path/name information. - Add a `TypePath` derive macro. - Add a `impl_type_path` macro for implementing internal and foreign types in `bevy_reflect`. --- ## Changelog - Added `TypePath` trait. - Added `DynamicTypePath` trait and `get_type_path` method to `Reflect`. - Added a `TypePath` derive macro. - Added a `bevy_reflect::impl_type_path` for implementing `TypePath` on internal and foreign types in `bevy_reflect`. - Changed `bevy_reflect::utility::(Non)GenericTypeInfoCell` to `(Non)GenericTypedCell<T>` which allows us to be generic over both `TypeInfo` and `TypePath`. - `TypePath` is now a supertrait of `Asset`, `Material` and `Material2d`. - `impl_reflect_struct` needs a `#[type_path = "..."]` attribute to be specified. - `impl_reflect_value` needs to either specify path starting with a double colon (`::core::option::Option`) or an `in my_crate::foo` declaration. - Added `bevy_reflect_derive::ReflectTypePath`. - Most uses of `Ident` in `bevy_reflect_derive` changed to use `ReflectTypePath`. ## Migration Guide - Implementors of `Asset`, `Material` and `Material2d` now also need to derive `TypePath`. - Manual implementors of `Reflect` will need to implement the new `get_type_path` method. ## Open Questions - [x] ~This PR currently does not migrate any usages of `std::any::type_name` to use `bevy_reflect::TypePath` to ease the review process. Should it?~ Migration will be left to a follow-up PR. - [ ] This PR adds a lot of `#[derive(TypePath)]` and `T: TypePath` to satisfy new bounds, mostly when deriving `TypeUuid`. Should we make `TypePath` a supertrait of `TypeUuid`? [Should we remove `TypeUuid` in favour of `TypePath`?](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5805/files/2afbd855327c4b68e0a6b6f03118f289988441a4#r961067892)

bevy_reflect: Add statically available type info for reflected types (#4042) # Objective > Resolves #4504 It can be helpful to have access to type information without requiring an instance of that type. Especially for `Reflect`, a lot of the gathered type information is known at compile-time and should not necessarily require an instance. ## Solution Created a dedicated `TypeInfo` enum to store static type information. All types that derive `Reflect` now also implement the newly created `Typed` trait: ```rust pub trait Typed: Reflect { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo; } ``` > Note: This trait was made separate from `Reflect` due to `Sized` restrictions. If you only have access to a `dyn Reflect`, just call `.get_type_info()` on it. This new trait method on `Reflect` should return the same value as if you had called it statically. If all you have is a `TypeId` or type name, you can get the `TypeInfo` directly from the registry using the `TypeRegistry::get_type_info` method (assuming it was registered). ### Usage Below is an example of working with `TypeInfo`. As you can see, we don't have to generate an instance of `MyTupleStruct` in order to get this information. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(usize, i32, MyStruct); let info = MyTupleStruct::type_info(); if let TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) = info { assert!(info.is::<MyTupleStruct>()); assert_eq!(std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(), info.type_name()); assert!(info.field_at(1).unwrap().is::<i32>()); } else { panic!("Expected `TypeInfo::TupleStruct`"); } ``` ### Manual Implementations It's not recommended to manually implement `Typed` yourself, but if you must, you can use the `TypeInfoCell` to automatically create and manage the static `TypeInfo`s for you (which is very helpful for blanket/generic impls): ```rust use bevy_reflect::{Reflect, TupleStructInfo, TypeInfo, UnnamedField}; use bevy_reflect::utility::TypeInfoCell; struct Foo<T: Reflect>(T); impl<T: Reflect> Typed for Foo<T> { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo { static CELL: TypeInfoCell = TypeInfoCell::generic(); CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| { let fields = [UnnamedField::new::<T>()]; let info = TupleStructInfo::new::<Self>(&fields); TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) }) } } ``` ## Benefits One major benefit is that this opens the door to other serialization methods. Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't. This is because `TypeId::of::<T>()` is not yet `const` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77125). When it does get stabilized, it would probably be worth coming back and making things `const`. Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>

bevy_reflect: Improve debug formatting for reflected types (#4218) # Objective Debugging reflected types can be somewhat frustrating since all `dyn Reflect` trait objects return something like `Reflect(core::option::Option<alloc::string::String>)`. It would be much nicer to be able to see the actual value— or even use a custom `Debug` implementation. ## Solution Added `Reflect::debug` which allows users to customize the debug output. It sets defaults for all `ReflectRef` subtraits and falls back to `Reflect(type_name)` if no `Debug` implementation was registered. To register a custom `Debug` impl, users can add `#[reflect(Debug)]` like they can with other traits. ### Example Using the following structs: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] pub struct Foo { a: usize, nested: Bar, #[reflect(ignore)] _ignored: NonReflectedValue, } #[derive(Reflect)] pub struct Bar { value: Vec2, tuple_value: (i32, String), list_value: Vec<usize>, // We can't determine debug formatting for Option<T> yet unknown_value: Option<String>, custom_debug: CustomDebug } #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(Debug)] struct CustomDebug; impl Debug for CustomDebug { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result { write!(f, "This is a custom debug!") } } pub struct NonReflectedValue { _a: usize, } ``` We can do: ```rust let value = Foo { a: 1, _ignored: NonReflectedValue { _a: 10 }, nested: Bar { value: Vec2::new(1.23, 3.21), tuple_value: (123, String::from("Hello")), list_value: vec![1, 2, 3], unknown_value: Some(String::from("World")), custom_debug: CustomDebug }, }; let reflected_value: &dyn Reflect = &value; println!("{:#?}", reflected_value) ``` Which results in: ```rust Foo { a: 2, nested: Bar { value: Vec2( 1.23, 3.21, ), tuple_value: ( 123, "Hello", ), list_value: [ 1, 2, 3, ], unknown_value: Reflect(core::option::Option<alloc::string::String>), custom_debug: This is a custom debug!, }, } ``` Notice that neither `Foo` nor `Bar` implement `Debug`, yet we can still deduce it. This might be a concern if we're worried about leaking internal values. If it is, we might want to consider a way to exclude fields (possibly with a `#[reflect(hide)]` macro) or make it purely opt in (as opposed to the default implementation automatically handled by ReflectRef subtraits).

bevy_reflect: Improved documentation (#7148) # Objective `bevy_reflect` can be a moderately complex crate to try and understand. It has many moving parts, a handful of gotchas, and a few subtle contracts that aren't immediately obvious to users and even other contributors. The current README does an okay job demonstrating how the crate can be used. However, the crate's actual documentation should give a better overview of the crate, its inner-workings, and show some of its own examples. ## Solution Added crate-level documentation that attempts to summarize the main parts of `bevy_reflect` into small sections. This PR also updates the documentation for: - `Reflect` - `FromReflect` - The reflection subtraits - Other important types and traits - The reflection macros (including the derive macros) - Crate features ### Open Questions 1. ~~Should I update the docs for the Dynamic types? I was originally going to, but I'm getting a little concerned about the size of this PR 😅~~ Decided to not do this in this PR. It'll be better served from its own PR. 2. Should derive macro documentation be moved to the trait itself? This could improve visibility and allow for better doc links, but could also clutter up the trait's documentation (as well as not being on the actual derive macro's documentation). ### TODO - [ ] ~~Document Dynamic types (?)~~ I think this should be done in a separate PR. - [x] Document crate features - [x] Update docs for `GetTypeRegistration` - [x] Update docs for `TypeRegistration` - [x] Update docs for `derive_from_reflect` - [x] Document `reflect_trait` - [x] Document `impl_reflect_value` - [x] Document `impl_from_reflect_value` --- ## Changelog - Updated documentation across the `bevy_reflect` crate - Removed `#[module]` helper attribute for `Reflect` derives (this is not currently used) ## Migration Guide - Removed `#[module]` helper attribute for `Reflect` derives. If your code is relying on this attribute, please replace it with either `#[reflect]` or `#[reflect_value]` (dependent on use-case).

bevy_reflect: Add statically available type info for reflected types (#4042) # Objective > Resolves #4504 It can be helpful to have access to type information without requiring an instance of that type. Especially for `Reflect`, a lot of the gathered type information is known at compile-time and should not necessarily require an instance. ## Solution Created a dedicated `TypeInfo` enum to store static type information. All types that derive `Reflect` now also implement the newly created `Typed` trait: ```rust pub trait Typed: Reflect { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo; } ``` > Note: This trait was made separate from `Reflect` due to `Sized` restrictions. If you only have access to a `dyn Reflect`, just call `.get_type_info()` on it. This new trait method on `Reflect` should return the same value as if you had called it statically. If all you have is a `TypeId` or type name, you can get the `TypeInfo` directly from the registry using the `TypeRegistry::get_type_info` method (assuming it was registered). ### Usage Below is an example of working with `TypeInfo`. As you can see, we don't have to generate an instance of `MyTupleStruct` in order to get this information. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(usize, i32, MyStruct); let info = MyTupleStruct::type_info(); if let TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) = info { assert!(info.is::<MyTupleStruct>()); assert_eq!(std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(), info.type_name()); assert!(info.field_at(1).unwrap().is::<i32>()); } else { panic!("Expected `TypeInfo::TupleStruct`"); } ``` ### Manual Implementations It's not recommended to manually implement `Typed` yourself, but if you must, you can use the `TypeInfoCell` to automatically create and manage the static `TypeInfo`s for you (which is very helpful for blanket/generic impls): ```rust use bevy_reflect::{Reflect, TupleStructInfo, TypeInfo, UnnamedField}; use bevy_reflect::utility::TypeInfoCell; struct Foo<T: Reflect>(T); impl<T: Reflect> Typed for Foo<T> { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo { static CELL: TypeInfoCell = TypeInfoCell::generic(); CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| { let fields = [UnnamedField::new::<T>()]; let info = TupleStructInfo::new::<Self>(&fields); TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) }) } } ``` ## Benefits One major benefit is that this opens the door to other serialization methods. Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't. This is because `TypeId::of::<T>()` is not yet `const` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77125). When it does get stabilized, it would probably be worth coming back and making things `const`. Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>

pub struct TupleStructInfo {
bevy_reflect: Improve serialization format even more (#5723) > Note: This is rebased off #4561 and can be viewed as a competitor to that PR. See `Comparison with #4561` section for details. # Objective The current serialization format used by `bevy_reflect` is both verbose and error-prone. Taking the following structs[^1] for example: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect)] struct Inventory { id: String, max_storage: usize, items: Vec<Item> } #[derive(Reflect)] struct Item { name: String } ``` Given an inventory of a single item, this would serialize to something like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "type": "my_game::inventory::Inventory", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "inv001", }, "max_storage": { "type": "usize", "value": 10 }, "items": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "my_game::inventory::Item", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Pickaxe" }, }, }, ], }, }, } ``` Aside from being really long and difficult to read, it also has a few "gotchas" that users need to be aware of if they want to edit the file manually. A major one is the requirement that you use the proper keys for a given type. For structs, you need `"struct"`. For lists, `"list"`. For tuple structs, `"tuple_struct"`. And so on. It also ***requires*** that the `"type"` entry come before the actual data. Despite being a map— which in programming is almost always orderless by default— the entries need to be in a particular order. Failure to follow the ordering convention results in a failure to deserialize the data. This makes it very prone to errors and annoyances. ## Solution Using #4042, we can remove a lot of the boilerplate and metadata needed by this older system. Since we now have static access to type information, we can simplify our serialized data to look like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( name: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), } ``` This is much more digestible and a lot less error-prone (no more key requirements and no more extra type names). Additionally, it is a lot more familiar to users as it follows conventional serde mechanics. For example, the struct is represented with `(...)` when serialized to RON. #### Custom Serialization Additionally, this PR adds the opt-in ability to specify a custom serde implementation to be used rather than the one created via reflection. For example[^1]: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect, Serialize)] #[reflect(Serialize)] struct Item { #[serde(alias = "id")] name: String } ``` ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( id: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), }, ``` By allowing users to define their own serialization methods, we do two things: 1. We give more control over how data is serialized/deserialized to the end user 2. We avoid having to re-define serde's attributes and forcing users to apply both (e.g. we don't need a `#[reflect(alias)]` attribute). ### Improved Formats One of the improvements this PR provides is the ability to represent data in ways that are more conventional and/or familiar to users. Many users are familiar with RON so here are some of the ways we can now represent data in RON: ###### Structs ```js { "my_crate::Foo": ( bar: 123 ) } // OR { "my_crate::Foo": Foo( bar: 123 ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Foo", "struct": { "bar": { "type": "usize", "value": 123 } } } ``` </details> ###### Tuples ```js { "(f32, f32)": (1.0, 2.0) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "(f32, f32)", "tuple": [ { "type": "f32", "value": 1.0 }, { "type": "f32", "value": 2.0 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Tuple Structs ```js { "my_crate::Bar": ("Hello World!") } // OR { "my_crate::Bar": Bar("Hello World!") } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Bar", "tuple_struct": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Hello World!" } ] } ``` </details> ###### Arrays It may be a bit surprising to some, but arrays now also use the tuple format. This is because they essentially _are_ tuples (a sequence of values with a fixed size), but only allow for homogenous types. Additionally, this is how RON handles them and is probably a result of the 32-capacity limit imposed on them (both by [serde](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html#impl-Serialize-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D) and by [bevy_reflect](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/reflect/trait.GetTypeRegistration.html#impl-GetTypeRegistration-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D)). ```js { "[i32; 3]": (1, 2, 3) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "[i32; 3]", "array": [ { "type": "i32", "value": 1 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 2 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 3 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Enums To make things simple, I'll just put a struct variant here, but the style applies to all variant types: ```js { "my_crate::ItemType": Consumable( name: "Healing potion" ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::ItemType", "enum": { "variant": "Consumable", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Healing potion" } } } } ``` </details> ### Comparison with #4561 This PR is a rebased version of #4561. The reason for the split between the two is because this PR creates a _very_ different scene format. You may notice that the PR descriptions for either PR are pretty similar. This was done to better convey the changes depending on which (if any) gets merged first. If #4561 makes it in first, I will update this PR description accordingly. --- ## Changelog * Re-worked serialization/deserialization for reflected types * Added `TypedReflectDeserializer` for deserializing data with known `TypeInfo` * Renamed `ReflectDeserializer` to `UntypedReflectDeserializer` * ~~Replaced usages of `deserialize_any` with `deserialize_map` for non-self-describing formats~~ Reverted this change since there are still some issues that need to be sorted out (in a separate PR). By reverting this, crates like `bincode` can throw an error when attempting to deserialize non-self-describing formats (`bincode` results in `DeserializeAnyNotSupported`) * Structs, tuples, tuple structs, arrays, and enums are now all de/serialized using conventional serde methods ## Migration Guide * This PR reduces the verbosity of the scene format. Scenes will need to be updated accordingly: ```js // Old format { "type": "my_game::item::Item", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "bevycraft:stone", }, "tags": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "material" }, ], }, } // New format { "my_game::item::Item": ( id: "bevycraft:stone", tags: ["material"] ) } ``` [^1]: Some derives omitted for brevity.

Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't. This is because `TypeId::of::<T>()` is not yet `const` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77125). When it does get stabilized, it would probably be worth coming back and making things `const`. Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>

bevy_reflect: Improve serialization format even more (#5723) > Note: This is rebased off #4561 and can be viewed as a competitor to that PR. See `Comparison with #4561` section for details. # Objective The current serialization format used by `bevy_reflect` is both verbose and error-prone. Taking the following structs[^1] for example: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect)] struct Inventory { id: String, max_storage: usize, items: Vec<Item> } #[derive(Reflect)] struct Item { name: String } ``` Given an inventory of a single item, this would serialize to something like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "type": "my_game::inventory::Inventory", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "inv001", }, "max_storage": { "type": "usize", "value": 10 }, "items": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "my_game::inventory::Item", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Pickaxe" }, }, }, ], }, }, } ``` Aside from being really long and difficult to read, it also has a few "gotchas" that users need to be aware of if they want to edit the file manually. A major one is the requirement that you use the proper keys for a given type. For structs, you need `"struct"`. For lists, `"list"`. For tuple structs, `"tuple_struct"`. And so on. It also ***requires*** that the `"type"` entry come before the actual data. Despite being a map— which in programming is almost always orderless by default— the entries need to be in a particular order. Failure to follow the ordering convention results in a failure to deserialize the data. This makes it very prone to errors and annoyances. ## Solution Using #4042, we can remove a lot of the boilerplate and metadata needed by this older system. Since we now have static access to type information, we can simplify our serialized data to look like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( name: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), } ``` This is much more digestible and a lot less error-prone (no more key requirements and no more extra type names). Additionally, it is a lot more familiar to users as it follows conventional serde mechanics. For example, the struct is represented with `(...)` when serialized to RON. #### Custom Serialization Additionally, this PR adds the opt-in ability to specify a custom serde implementation to be used rather than the one created via reflection. For example[^1]: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect, Serialize)] #[reflect(Serialize)] struct Item { #[serde(alias = "id")] name: String } ``` ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( id: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), }, ``` By allowing users to define their own serialization methods, we do two things: 1. We give more control over how data is serialized/deserialized to the end user 2. We avoid having to re-define serde's attributes and forcing users to apply both (e.g. we don't need a `#[reflect(alias)]` attribute). ### Improved Formats One of the improvements this PR provides is the ability to represent data in ways that are more conventional and/or familiar to users. Many users are familiar with RON so here are some of the ways we can now represent data in RON: ###### Structs ```js { "my_crate::Foo": ( bar: 123 ) } // OR { "my_crate::Foo": Foo( bar: 123 ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Foo", "struct": { "bar": { "type": "usize", "value": 123 } } } ``` </details> ###### Tuples ```js { "(f32, f32)": (1.0, 2.0) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "(f32, f32)", "tuple": [ { "type": "f32", "value": 1.0 }, { "type": "f32", "value": 2.0 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Tuple Structs ```js { "my_crate::Bar": ("Hello World!") } // OR { "my_crate::Bar": Bar("Hello World!") } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Bar", "tuple_struct": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Hello World!" } ] } ``` </details> ###### Arrays It may be a bit surprising to some, but arrays now also use the tuple format. This is because they essentially _are_ tuples (a sequence of values with a fixed size), but only allow for homogenous types. Additionally, this is how RON handles them and is probably a result of the 32-capacity limit imposed on them (both by [serde](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html#impl-Serialize-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D) and by [bevy_reflect](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/reflect/trait.GetTypeRegistration.html#impl-GetTypeRegistration-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D)). ```js { "[i32; 3]": (1, 2, 3) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "[i32; 3]", "array": [ { "type": "i32", "value": 1 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 2 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 3 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Enums To make things simple, I'll just put a struct variant here, but the style applies to all variant types: ```js { "my_crate::ItemType": Consumable( name: "Healing potion" ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::ItemType", "enum": { "variant": "Consumable", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Healing potion" } } } } ``` </details> ### Comparison with #4561 This PR is a rebased version of #4561. The reason for the split between the two is because this PR creates a _very_ different scene format. You may notice that the PR descriptions for either PR are pretty similar. This was done to better convey the changes depending on which (if any) gets merged first. If #4561 makes it in first, I will update this PR description accordingly. --- ## Changelog * Re-worked serialization/deserialization for reflected types * Added `TypedReflectDeserializer` for deserializing data with known `TypeInfo` * Renamed `ReflectDeserializer` to `UntypedReflectDeserializer` * ~~Replaced usages of `deserialize_any` with `deserialize_map` for non-self-describing formats~~ Reverted this change since there are still some issues that need to be sorted out (in a separate PR). By reverting this, crates like `bincode` can throw an error when attempting to deserialize non-self-describing formats (`bincode` results in `DeserializeAnyNotSupported`) * Structs, tuples, tuple structs, arrays, and enums are now all de/serialized using conventional serde methods ## Migration Guide * This PR reduces the verbosity of the scene format. Scenes will need to be updated accordingly: ```js // Old format { "type": "my_game::item::Item", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "bevycraft:stone", }, "tags": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "material" }, ], }, } // New format { "my_game::item::Item": ( id: "bevycraft:stone", tags: ["material"] ) } ``` [^1]: Some derives omitted for brevity.

Especially for `Reflect`, a lot of the gathered type information is known at compile-time and should not necessarily require an instance. ## Solution Created a dedicated `TypeInfo` enum to store static type information.

As you can see, we don't have to generate an instance of `MyTupleStruct` in order to get this information. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(usize, i32, MyStruct); let info = MyTupleStruct::type_info(); if let TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) = info { assert!(info.is::<MyTupleStruct>()); assert_eq!(std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(), info.type_name()); assert!(info.field_at(1).unwrap().is::<i32>()); } else { panic!("Expected `TypeInfo::TupleStruct`"); } ``` ### Manual Implementations It's not recommended to manually implement `Typed` yourself, but if you must, you can use the `TypeInfoCell` to automatically create and manage the static `TypeInfo`s for you (which is very helpful for blanket/generic impls): ```rust use bevy_reflect::{Reflect, TupleStructInfo, TypeInfo, UnnamedField}; use bevy_reflect::utility::TypeInfoCell; struct Foo<T: Reflect>(T); impl<T: Reflect> Typed for Foo<T> { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo { static CELL: TypeInfoCell = TypeInfoCell::generic(); CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| { let fields = [UnnamedField::new::<T>()]; let info = TupleStructInfo::new::<Self>(&fields); TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) }) } } ``` ## Benefits One major benefit is that this opens the door to other serialization methods. Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't. This is because `TypeId::of::<T>()` is not yet `const` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77125). When it does get stabilized, it would probably be worth coming back and making things `const`. Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>

Self {
bevy_reflect: Improve serialization format even more (#5723) > Note: This is rebased off #4561 and can be viewed as a competitor to that PR. See `Comparison with #4561` section for details. # Objective The current serialization format used by `bevy_reflect` is both verbose and error-prone. Taking the following structs[^1] for example: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect)] struct Inventory { id: String, max_storage: usize, items: Vec<Item> } #[derive(Reflect)] struct Item { name: String } ``` Given an inventory of a single item, this would serialize to something like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "type": "my_game::inventory::Inventory", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "inv001", }, "max_storage": { "type": "usize", "value": 10 }, "items": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "my_game::inventory::Item", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Pickaxe" }, }, }, ], }, }, } ``` Aside from being really long and difficult to read, it also has a few "gotchas" that users need to be aware of if they want to edit the file manually. A major one is the requirement that you use the proper keys for a given type. For structs, you need `"struct"`. For lists, `"list"`. For tuple structs, `"tuple_struct"`. And so on. It also ***requires*** that the `"type"` entry come before the actual data. Despite being a map— which in programming is almost always orderless by default— the entries need to be in a particular order. Failure to follow the ordering convention results in a failure to deserialize the data. This makes it very prone to errors and annoyances. ## Solution Using #4042, we can remove a lot of the boilerplate and metadata needed by this older system. Since we now have static access to type information, we can simplify our serialized data to look like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( name: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), } ``` This is much more digestible and a lot less error-prone (no more key requirements and no more extra type names). Additionally, it is a lot more familiar to users as it follows conventional serde mechanics. For example, the struct is represented with `(...)` when serialized to RON. #### Custom Serialization Additionally, this PR adds the opt-in ability to specify a custom serde implementation to be used rather than the one created via reflection. For example[^1]: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect, Serialize)] #[reflect(Serialize)] struct Item { #[serde(alias = "id")] name: String } ``` ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( id: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), }, ``` By allowing users to define their own serialization methods, we do two things: 1. We give more control over how data is serialized/deserialized to the end user 2. We avoid having to re-define serde's attributes and forcing users to apply both (e.g. we don't need a `#[reflect(alias)]` attribute). ### Improved Formats One of the improvements this PR provides is the ability to represent data in ways that are more conventional and/or familiar to users. Many users are familiar with RON so here are some of the ways we can now represent data in RON: ###### Structs ```js { "my_crate::Foo": ( bar: 123 ) } // OR { "my_crate::Foo": Foo( bar: 123 ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Foo", "struct": { "bar": { "type": "usize", "value": 123 } } } ``` </details> ###### Tuples ```js { "(f32, f32)": (1.0, 2.0) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "(f32, f32)", "tuple": [ { "type": "f32", "value": 1.0 }, { "type": "f32", "value": 2.0 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Tuple Structs ```js { "my_crate::Bar": ("Hello World!") } // OR { "my_crate::Bar": Bar("Hello World!") } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Bar", "tuple_struct": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Hello World!" } ] } ``` </details> ###### Arrays It may be a bit surprising to some, but arrays now also use the tuple format. This is because they essentially _are_ tuples (a sequence of values with a fixed size), but only allow for homogenous types. Additionally, this is how RON handles them and is probably a result of the 32-capacity limit imposed on them (both by [serde](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html#impl-Serialize-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D) and by [bevy_reflect](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/reflect/trait.GetTypeRegistration.html#impl-GetTypeRegistration-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D)). ```js { "[i32; 3]": (1, 2, 3) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "[i32; 3]", "array": [ { "type": "i32", "value": 1 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 2 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 3 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Enums To make things simple, I'll just put a struct variant here, but the style applies to all variant types: ```js { "my_crate::ItemType": Consumable( name: "Healing potion" ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::ItemType", "enum": { "variant": "Consumable", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Healing potion" } } } } ``` </details> ### Comparison with #4561 This PR is a rebased version of #4561. The reason for the split between the two is because this PR creates a _very_ different scene format. You may notice that the PR descriptions for either PR are pretty similar. This was done to better convey the changes depending on which (if any) gets merged first. If #4561 makes it in first, I will update this PR description accordingly. --- ## Changelog * Re-worked serialization/deserialization for reflected types * Added `TypedReflectDeserializer` for deserializing data with known `TypeInfo` * Renamed `ReflectDeserializer` to `UntypedReflectDeserializer` * ~~Replaced usages of `deserialize_any` with `deserialize_map` for non-self-describing formats~~ Reverted this change since there are still some issues that need to be sorted out (in a separate PR). By reverting this, crates like `bincode` can throw an error when attempting to deserialize non-self-describing formats (`bincode` results in `DeserializeAnyNotSupported`) * Structs, tuples, tuple structs, arrays, and enums are now all de/serialized using conventional serde methods ## Migration Guide * This PR reduces the verbosity of the scene format. Scenes will need to be updated accordingly: ```js // Old format { "type": "my_game::item::Item", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "bevycraft:stone", }, "tags": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "material" }, ], }, } // New format { "my_game::item::Item": ( id: "bevycraft:stone", tags: ["material"] ) } ``` [^1]: Some derives omitted for brevity.

bevy_reflect: Add statically available type info for reflected types (#4042) # Objective > Resolves #4504 It can be helpful to have access to type information without requiring an instance of that type. Especially for `Reflect`, a lot of the gathered type information is known at compile-time and should not necessarily require an instance. ## Solution Created a dedicated `TypeInfo` enum to store static type information. All types that derive `Reflect` now also implement the newly created `Typed` trait: ```rust pub trait Typed: Reflect { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo; } ``` > Note: This trait was made separate from `Reflect` due to `Sized` restrictions.

As you can see, we don't have to generate an instance of `MyTupleStruct` in order to get this information. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(usize, i32, MyStruct); let info = MyTupleStruct::type_info(); if let TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) = info { assert!(info.is::<MyTupleStruct>()); assert_eq!(std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(), info.type_name()); assert!(info.field_at(1).unwrap().is::<i32>()); } else { panic!("Expected `TypeInfo::TupleStruct`"); } ``` ### Manual Implementations It's not recommended to manually implement `Typed` yourself, but if you must, you can use the `TypeInfoCell` to automatically create and manage the static `TypeInfo`s for you (which is very helpful for blanket/generic impls): ```rust use bevy_reflect::{Reflect, TupleStructInfo, TypeInfo, UnnamedField}; use bevy_reflect::utility::TypeInfoCell; struct Foo<T: Reflect>(T); impl<T: Reflect> Typed for Foo<T> { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo { static CELL: TypeInfoCell = TypeInfoCell::generic(); CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| { let fields = [UnnamedField::new::<T>()]; let info = TupleStructInfo::new::<Self>(&fields); TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) }) } } ``` ## Benefits One major benefit is that this opens the door to other serialization methods. Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't.

bevy_reflect: Improve serialization format even more (#5723) > Note: This is rebased off #4561 and can be viewed as a competitor to that PR. See `Comparison with #4561` section for details. # Objective The current serialization format used by `bevy_reflect` is both verbose and error-prone. Taking the following structs[^1] for example: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect)] struct Inventory { id: String, max_storage: usize, items: Vec<Item> } #[derive(Reflect)] struct Item { name: String } ``` Given an inventory of a single item, this would serialize to something like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "type": "my_game::inventory::Inventory", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "inv001", }, "max_storage": { "type": "usize", "value": 10 }, "items": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "my_game::inventory::Item", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Pickaxe" }, }, }, ], }, }, } ``` Aside from being really long and difficult to read, it also has a few "gotchas" that users need to be aware of if they want to edit the file manually. A major one is the requirement that you use the proper keys for a given type. For structs, you need `"struct"`. For lists, `"list"`. For tuple structs, `"tuple_struct"`. And so on. It also ***requires*** that the `"type"` entry come before the actual data. Despite being a map— which in programming is almost always orderless by default— the entries need to be in a particular order. Failure to follow the ordering convention results in a failure to deserialize the data. This makes it very prone to errors and annoyances. ## Solution Using #4042, we can remove a lot of the boilerplate and metadata needed by this older system. Since we now have static access to type information, we can simplify our serialized data to look like: ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( name: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), } ``` This is much more digestible and a lot less error-prone (no more key requirements and no more extra type names). Additionally, it is a lot more familiar to users as it follows conventional serde mechanics. For example, the struct is represented with `(...)` when serialized to RON. #### Custom Serialization Additionally, this PR adds the opt-in ability to specify a custom serde implementation to be used rather than the one created via reflection. For example[^1]: ```rust // -- src/inventory.rs #[derive(Reflect, Serialize)] #[reflect(Serialize)] struct Item { #[serde(alias = "id")] name: String } ``` ```rust // -- assets/inventory.ron { "my_game::inventory::Inventory": ( id: "inv001", max_storage: 10, items: [ ( id: "Pickaxe" ), ], ), }, ``` By allowing users to define their own serialization methods, we do two things: 1. We give more control over how data is serialized/deserialized to the end user 2. We avoid having to re-define serde's attributes and forcing users to apply both (e.g. we don't need a `#[reflect(alias)]` attribute). ### Improved Formats One of the improvements this PR provides is the ability to represent data in ways that are more conventional and/or familiar to users. Many users are familiar with RON so here are some of the ways we can now represent data in RON: ###### Structs ```js { "my_crate::Foo": ( bar: 123 ) } // OR { "my_crate::Foo": Foo( bar: 123 ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Foo", "struct": { "bar": { "type": "usize", "value": 123 } } } ``` </details> ###### Tuples ```js { "(f32, f32)": (1.0, 2.0) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "(f32, f32)", "tuple": [ { "type": "f32", "value": 1.0 }, { "type": "f32", "value": 2.0 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Tuple Structs ```js { "my_crate::Bar": ("Hello World!") } // OR { "my_crate::Bar": Bar("Hello World!") } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::Bar", "tuple_struct": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Hello World!" } ] } ``` </details> ###### Arrays It may be a bit surprising to some, but arrays now also use the tuple format. This is because they essentially _are_ tuples (a sequence of values with a fixed size), but only allow for homogenous types. Additionally, this is how RON handles them and is probably a result of the 32-capacity limit imposed on them (both by [serde](https://docs.rs/serde/latest/serde/trait.Serialize.html#impl-Serialize-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D) and by [bevy_reflect](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/reflect/trait.GetTypeRegistration.html#impl-GetTypeRegistration-for-%5BT%3B%2032%5D)). ```js { "[i32; 3]": (1, 2, 3) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "[i32; 3]", "array": [ { "type": "i32", "value": 1 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 2 }, { "type": "i32", "value": 3 } ] } ``` </details> ###### Enums To make things simple, I'll just put a struct variant here, but the style applies to all variant types: ```js { "my_crate::ItemType": Consumable( name: "Healing potion" ) } ``` <details> <summary>Old Format</summary> ```js { "type": "my_crate::ItemType", "enum": { "variant": "Consumable", "struct": { "name": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "Healing potion" } } } } ``` </details> ### Comparison with #4561 This PR is a rebased version of #4561. The reason for the split between the two is because this PR creates a _very_ different scene format. You may notice that the PR descriptions for either PR are pretty similar. This was done to better convey the changes depending on which (if any) gets merged first. If #4561 makes it in first, I will update this PR description accordingly. --- ## Changelog * Re-worked serialization/deserialization for reflected types * Added `TypedReflectDeserializer` for deserializing data with known `TypeInfo` * Renamed `ReflectDeserializer` to `UntypedReflectDeserializer` * ~~Replaced usages of `deserialize_any` with `deserialize_map` for non-self-describing formats~~ Reverted this change since there are still some issues that need to be sorted out (in a separate PR). By reverting this, crates like `bincode` can throw an error when attempting to deserialize non-self-describing formats (`bincode` results in `DeserializeAnyNotSupported`) * Structs, tuples, tuple structs, arrays, and enums are now all de/serialized using conventional serde methods ## Migration Guide * This PR reduces the verbosity of the scene format. Scenes will need to be updated accordingly: ```js // Old format { "type": "my_game::item::Item", "struct": { "id": { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "bevycraft:stone", }, "tags": { "type": "alloc::vec::Vec<alloc::string::String>", "list": [ { "type": "alloc::string::String", "value": "material" }, ], }, } // New format { "my_game::item::Item": ( id: "bevycraft:stone", tags: ["material"] ) } ``` [^1]: Some derives omitted for brevity.

bevy_reflect: Better proxies (#6971) # Objective > This PR is based on discussion from #6601 The Dynamic types (e.g. `DynamicStruct`, `DynamicList`, etc.) act as both: 1. Dynamic containers which may hold any arbitrary data 2. Proxy types which may represent any other type Currently, the only way we can represent the proxy-ness of a Dynamic is by giving it a name. ```rust // This is just a dynamic container let mut data = DynamicStruct::default(); // This is a "proxy" data.set_name(std::any::type_name::<Foo>()); ``` This type name is the only way we check that the given Dynamic is a proxy of some other type. When we need to "assert the type" of a `dyn Reflect`, we call `Reflect::type_name` on it. However, because we're only using a string to denote the type, we run into a few gotchas and limitations. For example, hashing a Dynamic proxy may work differently than the type it proxies: ```rust #[derive(Reflect, Hash)] #[reflect(Hash)] struct Foo(i32); let concrete = Foo(123); let dynamic = concrete.clone_dynamic(); let concrete_hash = concrete.reflect_hash(); let dynamic_hash = dynamic.reflect_hash(); // The hashes are not equal because `concrete` uses its own `Hash` impl // while `dynamic` uses a reflection-based hashing algorithm assert_ne!(concrete_hash, dynamic_hash); ``` Because the Dynamic proxy only knows about the name of the type, it's unaware of any other information about it. This means it also differs on `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`, and may include ignored or skipped fields in places the concrete type wouldn't. ## Solution Rather than having Dynamics pass along just the type name of proxied types, we can instead have them pass around the `TypeInfo`. Now all Dynamic types contain an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than a `String`: ```diff pub struct DynamicTupleStruct { - type_name: String, + represented_type: Option<&'static TypeInfo>, fields: Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>>, } ``` By changing `Reflect::get_type_info` to `Reflect::represented_type_info`, hopefully we make this behavior a little clearer. And to account for `None` values on these dynamic types, `Reflect::represented_type_info` now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`. ```rust let mut data = DynamicTupleStruct::default(); // Not proxying any specific type assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_none()); let type_info = <Foo as Typed>::type_info(); dyn_tuple_struct.set_represented_type(Some(type_info)); // Alternatively: // let dyn_tuple_struct = foo.clone_dynamic(); // Now we're proxying `Foo` assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_some()); ``` This means that we can have full access to all the static type information for the proxied type. Future work would include transitioning more static type information (trait impls, attributes, etc.) over to the `TypeInfo` so it can actually be utilized by Dynamic proxies. ### Alternatives & Rationale > **Note** > These alternatives were written when this PR was first made using a `Proxy` trait. This trait has since been removed. <details> <summary>View</summary> #### Alternative: The `Proxy<T>` Approach I had considered adding something like a `Proxy<T>` type where `T` would be the Dynamic and would contain the proxied type information. This was nice in that it allows us to explicitly determine whether something is a proxy or not at a type level. `Proxy<DynamicStruct>` proxies a struct. Makes sense. The reason I didn't go with this approach is because (1) tuples, (2) complexity, and (3) `PartialReflect`. The `DynamicTuple` struct allows us to represent tuples at runtime. It also allows us to do something you normally can't with tuples: add new fields. Because of this, adding a field immediately invalidates the proxy (e.g. our info for `(i32, i32)` doesn't apply to `(i32, i32, NewField)`). By going with this PR's approach, we can just remove the type info on `DynamicTuple` when that happens. However, with the `Proxy<T>` approach, it becomes difficult to represent this behavior— we'd have to completely control how we access data for `T` for each `T`. Secondly, it introduces some added complexities (aside from the manual impls for each `T`). Does `Proxy<T>` impl `Reflect`? Likely yes, if we want to represent it as `dyn Reflect`. What `TypeInfo` do we give it? How would we forward reflection methods to the inner type (remember, we don't have specialization)? How do we separate this from Dynamic types? And finally, how do all this in a way that's both logical and intuitive for users? Lastly, introducing a `Proxy` trait rather than a `Proxy<T>` struct is actually more inline with the [Unique Reflect RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/56). In a way, the `Proxy` trait is really one part of the `PartialReflect` trait introduced in that RFC (it's technically not in that RFC but it fits well with it), where the `PartialReflect` serves as a way for proxies to work _like_ concrete types without having full access to everything a concrete `Reflect` type can do. This would help bridge the gap between the current state of the crate and the implementation of that RFC. All that said, this is still a viable solution. If the community believes this is the better path forward, then we can do that instead. These were just my reasons for not initially going with it in this PR. #### Alternative: The Type Registry Approach The `Proxy` trait is great and all, but how does it solve the original problem? Well, it doesn't— yet! The goal would be to start moving information from the derive macro and its attributes to the generated `TypeInfo` since these are known statically and shouldn't change. For example, adding `ignored: bool` to `[Un]NamedField` or a list of impls. However, there is another way of storing this information. This is, of course, one of the uses of the `TypeRegistry`. If we're worried about Dynamic proxies not aligning with their concrete counterparts, we could move more type information to the registry and require its usage. For example, we could replace `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self)` with `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self, registry: &TypeRegistry)`. That's not the _worst_ thing in the world, but it is an ergonomics loss. Additionally, other attributes may have their own requirements, further restricting what's possible without the registry. The `Reflect::apply` method will require the registry as well now. Why? Well because the `map_apply` function used for the `Reflect::apply` impls on `Map` types depends on `Map::insert_boxed`, which (at least for `DynamicMap`) requires `Reflect::reflect_hash`. The same would apply when adding support for reflection-based diffing, which will require `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`. Again, this is a totally viable alternative. I just chose not to go with it for the reasons above. If we want to go with it, then we can close this PR and we can pursue this alternative instead. #### Downsides Just to highlight a quick potential downside (likely needs more investigation): retrieving the `TypeInfo` requires acquiring a lock on the `GenericTypeInfoCell` used by the `Typed` impls for generic types (non-generic types use a `OnceBox which should be faster). I am not sure how much of a performance hit that is and will need to run some benchmarks to compare against. </details> ### Open Questions 1. Should we use `Cow<'static, TypeInfo>` instead? I think that might be easier for modding? Perhaps, in that case, we need to update `Typed::type_info` and friends as well? 2. Are the alternatives better than the approach this PR takes? Are there other alternatives? --- ## Changelog ### Changed - `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to `Reflect::represented_type_info` - This method now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than just `&'static TypeInfo` ### Added - Added `Reflect::is_dynamic` method to indicate when a type is dynamic - Added a `set_represented_type` method on all dynamic types ### Removed - Removed `TypeInfo::Dynamic` (use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead) - Removed `Typed` impls for all dynamic types ## Migration Guide - The Dynamic types no longer take a string type name.

bevy_reflect: Better proxies (#6971) # Objective > This PR is based on discussion from #6601 The Dynamic types (e.g. `DynamicStruct`, `DynamicList`, etc.) act as both: 1. Dynamic containers which may hold any arbitrary data 2. Proxy types which may represent any other type Currently, the only way we can represent the proxy-ness of a Dynamic is by giving it a name. ```rust // This is just a dynamic container let mut data = DynamicStruct::default(); // This is a "proxy" data.set_name(std::any::type_name::<Foo>()); ``` This type name is the only way we check that the given Dynamic is a proxy of some other type. When we need to "assert the type" of a `dyn Reflect`, we call `Reflect::type_name` on it. However, because we're only using a string to denote the type, we run into a few gotchas and limitations. For example, hashing a Dynamic proxy may work differently than the type it proxies: ```rust #[derive(Reflect, Hash)] #[reflect(Hash)] struct Foo(i32); let concrete = Foo(123); let dynamic = concrete.clone_dynamic(); let concrete_hash = concrete.reflect_hash(); let dynamic_hash = dynamic.reflect_hash(); // The hashes are not equal because `concrete` uses its own `Hash` impl // while `dynamic` uses a reflection-based hashing algorithm assert_ne!(concrete_hash, dynamic_hash); ``` Because the Dynamic proxy only knows about the name of the type, it's unaware of any other information about it. This means it also differs on `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`, and may include ignored or skipped fields in places the concrete type wouldn't. ## Solution Rather than having Dynamics pass along just the type name of proxied types, we can instead have them pass around the `TypeInfo`. Now all Dynamic types contain an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than a `String`: ```diff pub struct DynamicTupleStruct { - type_name: String, + represented_type: Option<&'static TypeInfo>, fields: Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>>, } ``` By changing `Reflect::get_type_info` to `Reflect::represented_type_info`, hopefully we make this behavior a little clearer. And to account for `None` values on these dynamic types, `Reflect::represented_type_info` now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`. ```rust let mut data = DynamicTupleStruct::default(); // Not proxying any specific type assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_none()); let type_info = <Foo as Typed>::type_info(); dyn_tuple_struct.set_represented_type(Some(type_info)); // Alternatively: // let dyn_tuple_struct = foo.clone_dynamic(); // Now we're proxying `Foo` assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_some()); ``` This means that we can have full access to all the static type information for the proxied type. Future work would include transitioning more static type information (trait impls, attributes, etc.) over to the `TypeInfo` so it can actually be utilized by Dynamic proxies. ### Alternatives & Rationale > **Note** > These alternatives were written when this PR was first made using a `Proxy` trait. This trait has since been removed. <details> <summary>View</summary> #### Alternative: The `Proxy<T>` Approach I had considered adding something like a `Proxy<T>` type where `T` would be the Dynamic and would contain the proxied type information. This was nice in that it allows us to explicitly determine whether something is a proxy or not at a type level. `Proxy<DynamicStruct>` proxies a struct. Makes sense. The reason I didn't go with this approach is because (1) tuples, (2) complexity, and (3) `PartialReflect`. The `DynamicTuple` struct allows us to represent tuples at runtime. It also allows us to do something you normally can't with tuples: add new fields. Because of this, adding a field immediately invalidates the proxy (e.g. our info for `(i32, i32)` doesn't apply to `(i32, i32, NewField)`). By going with this PR's approach, we can just remove the type info on `DynamicTuple` when that happens. However, with the `Proxy<T>` approach, it becomes difficult to represent this behavior— we'd have to completely control how we access data for `T` for each `T`. Secondly, it introduces some added complexities (aside from the manual impls for each `T`). Does `Proxy<T>` impl `Reflect`? Likely yes, if we want to represent it as `dyn Reflect`. What `TypeInfo` do we give it? How would we forward reflection methods to the inner type (remember, we don't have specialization)? How do we separate this from Dynamic types? And finally, how do all this in a way that's both logical and intuitive for users? Lastly, introducing a `Proxy` trait rather than a `Proxy<T>` struct is actually more inline with the [Unique Reflect RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/56). In a way, the `Proxy` trait is really one part of the `PartialReflect` trait introduced in that RFC (it's technically not in that RFC but it fits well with it), where the `PartialReflect` serves as a way for proxies to work _like_ concrete types without having full access to everything a concrete `Reflect` type can do. This would help bridge the gap between the current state of the crate and the implementation of that RFC. All that said, this is still a viable solution. If the community believes this is the better path forward, then we can do that instead. These were just my reasons for not initially going with it in this PR. #### Alternative: The Type Registry Approach The `Proxy` trait is great and all, but how does it solve the original problem? Well, it doesn't— yet! The goal would be to start moving information from the derive macro and its attributes to the generated `TypeInfo` since these are known statically and shouldn't change. For example, adding `ignored: bool` to `[Un]NamedField` or a list of impls. However, there is another way of storing this information. This is, of course, one of the uses of the `TypeRegistry`. If we're worried about Dynamic proxies not aligning with their concrete counterparts, we could move more type information to the registry and require its usage. For example, we could replace `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self)` with `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self, registry: &TypeRegistry)`. That's not the _worst_ thing in the world, but it is an ergonomics loss. Additionally, other attributes may have their own requirements, further restricting what's possible without the registry. The `Reflect::apply` method will require the registry as well now. Why? Well because the `map_apply` function used for the `Reflect::apply` impls on `Map` types depends on `Map::insert_boxed`, which (at least for `DynamicMap`) requires `Reflect::reflect_hash`. The same would apply when adding support for reflection-based diffing, which will require `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`. Again, this is a totally viable alternative. I just chose not to go with it for the reasons above. If we want to go with it, then we can close this PR and we can pursue this alternative instead. #### Downsides Just to highlight a quick potential downside (likely needs more investigation): retrieving the `TypeInfo` requires acquiring a lock on the `GenericTypeInfoCell` used by the `Typed` impls for generic types (non-generic types use a `OnceBox which should be faster). I am not sure how much of a performance hit that is and will need to run some benchmarks to compare against. </details> ### Open Questions 1. Should we use `Cow<'static, TypeInfo>` instead? I think that might be easier for modding? Perhaps, in that case, we need to update `Typed::type_info` and friends as well? 2. Are the alternatives better than the approach this PR takes? Are there other alternatives? --- ## Changelog ### Changed - `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to `Reflect::represented_type_info` - This method now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than just `&'static TypeInfo` ### Added - Added `Reflect::is_dynamic` method to indicate when a type is dynamic - Added a `set_represented_type` method on all dynamic types ### Removed - Removed `TypeInfo::Dynamic` (use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead) - Removed `Typed` impls for all dynamic types ## Migration Guide - The Dynamic types no longer take a string type name.

bevy_reflect: Add statically available type info for reflected types (#4042) # Objective > Resolves #4504 It can be helpful to have access to type information without requiring an instance of that type. Especially for `Reflect`, a lot of the gathered type information is known at compile-time and should not necessarily require an instance. ## Solution Created a dedicated `TypeInfo` enum to store static type information. All types that derive `Reflect` now also implement the newly created `Typed` trait: ```rust pub trait Typed: Reflect { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo; } ``` > Note: This trait was made separate from `Reflect` due to `Sized` restrictions. If you only have access to a `dyn Reflect`, just call `.get_type_info()` on it. This new trait method on `Reflect` should return the same value as if you had called it statically. If all you have is a `TypeId` or type name, you can get the `TypeInfo` directly from the registry using the `TypeRegistry::get_type_info` method (assuming it was registered). ### Usage Below is an example of working with `TypeInfo`. As you can see, we don't have to generate an instance of `MyTupleStruct` in order to get this information. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(usize, i32, MyStruct); let info = MyTupleStruct::type_info(); if let TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) = info { assert!(info.is::<MyTupleStruct>()); assert_eq!(std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(), info.type_name()); assert!(info.field_at(1).unwrap().is::<i32>()); } else { panic!("Expected `TypeInfo::TupleStruct`"); } ``` ### Manual Implementations It's not recommended to manually implement `Typed` yourself, but if you must, you can use the `TypeInfoCell` to automatically create and manage the static `TypeInfo`s for you (which is very helpful for blanket/generic impls): ```rust use bevy_reflect::{Reflect, TupleStructInfo, TypeInfo, UnnamedField}; use bevy_reflect::utility::TypeInfoCell; struct Foo<T: Reflect>(T); impl<T: Reflect> Typed for Foo<T> { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo { static CELL: TypeInfoCell = TypeInfoCell::generic(); CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| { let fields = [UnnamedField::new::<T>()]; let info = TupleStructInfo::new::<Self>(&fields); TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) }) } } ``` ## Benefits One major benefit is that this opens the door to other serialization methods. Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't. This is because `TypeId::of::<T>()` is not yet `const` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77125). When it does get stabilized, it would probably be worth coming back and making things `const`. Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>

Lastly, introducing a `Proxy` trait rather than a `Proxy<T>` struct is actually more inline with the [Unique Reflect RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/56). In a way, the `Proxy` trait is really one part of the `PartialReflect` trait introduced in that RFC (it's technically not in that RFC but it fits well with it), where the `PartialReflect` serves as a way for proxies to work _like_ concrete types without having full access to everything a concrete `Reflect` type can do. This would help bridge the gap between the current state of the crate and the implementation of that RFC. All that said, this is still a viable solution. If the community believes this is the better path forward, then we can do that instead. These were just my reasons for not initially going with it in this PR. #### Alternative: The Type Registry Approach The `Proxy` trait is great and all, but how does it solve the original problem? Well, it doesn't— yet! The goal would be to start moving information from the derive macro and its attributes to the generated `TypeInfo` since these are known statically and shouldn't change. For example, adding `ignored: bool` to `[Un]NamedField` or a list of impls. However, there is another way of storing this information. This is, of course, one of the uses of the `TypeRegistry`. If we're worried about Dynamic proxies not aligning with their concrete counterparts, we could move more type information to the registry and require its usage. For example, we could replace `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self)` with `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self, registry: &TypeRegistry)`. That's not the _worst_ thing in the world, but it is an ergonomics loss. Additionally, other attributes may have their own requirements, further restricting what's possible without the registry. The `Reflect::apply` method will require the registry as well now. Why? Well because the `map_apply` function used for the `Reflect::apply` impls on `Map` types depends on `Map::insert_boxed`, which (at least for `DynamicMap`) requires `Reflect::reflect_hash`. The same would apply when adding support for reflection-based diffing, which will require `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`. Again, this is a totally viable alternative. I just chose not to go with it for the reasons above. If we want to go with it, then we can close this PR and we can pursue this alternative instead. #### Downsides Just to highlight a quick potential downside (likely needs more investigation): retrieving the `TypeInfo` requires acquiring a lock on the `GenericTypeInfoCell` used by the `Typed` impls for generic types (non-generic types use a `OnceBox which should be faster). I am not sure how much of a performance hit that is and will need to run some benchmarks to compare against. </details> ### Open Questions 1. Should we use `Cow<'static, TypeInfo>` instead? I think that might be easier for modding? Perhaps, in that case, we need to update `Typed::type_info` and friends as well? 2. Are the alternatives better than the approach this PR takes? Are there other alternatives? --- ## Changelog ### Changed - `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to `Reflect::represented_type_info` - This method now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than just `&'static TypeInfo` ### Added - Added `Reflect::is_dynamic` method to indicate when a type is dynamic - Added a `set_represented_type` method on all dynamic types ### Removed - Removed `TypeInfo::Dynamic` (use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead) - Removed `Typed` impls for all dynamic types ## Migration Guide - The Dynamic types no longer take a string type name. Instead, they require a static reference to `TypeInfo`: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(f32, f32); let mut dyn_tuple_struct = DynamicTupleStruct::default(); dyn_tuple_struct.insert(1.23_f32); dyn_tuple_struct.insert(3.21_f32); // BEFORE: let type_name = std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(); dyn_tuple_struct.set_name(type_name); // AFTER: let type_info = <MyTupleStruct as Typed>::type_info(); dyn_tuple_struct.set_represented_type(Some(type_info)); ``` - `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to `Reflect::represented_type_info` and now also returns an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` (instead of just `&'static TypeInfo`): ```rust // BEFORE: let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.get_type_info(); // AFTER: let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.represented_type_info().unwrap(); ``` - `TypeInfo::Dynamic` and `DynamicInfo` has been removed.

bevy_reflect: Add statically available type info for reflected types (#4042) # Objective > Resolves #4504 It can be helpful to have access to type information without requiring an instance of that type. Especially for `Reflect`, a lot of the gathered type information is known at compile-time and should not necessarily require an instance. ## Solution Created a dedicated `TypeInfo` enum to store static type information. All types that derive `Reflect` now also implement the newly created `Typed` trait: ```rust pub trait Typed: Reflect { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo; } ``` > Note: This trait was made separate from `Reflect` due to `Sized` restrictions. If you only have access to a `dyn Reflect`, just call `.get_type_info()` on it. This new trait method on `Reflect` should return the same value as if you had called it statically. If all you have is a `TypeId` or type name, you can get the `TypeInfo` directly from the registry using the `TypeRegistry::get_type_info` method (assuming it was registered). ### Usage Below is an example of working with `TypeInfo`. As you can see, we don't have to generate an instance of `MyTupleStruct` in order to get this information. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyTupleStruct(usize, i32, MyStruct); let info = MyTupleStruct::type_info(); if let TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) = info { assert!(info.is::<MyTupleStruct>()); assert_eq!(std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>(), info.type_name()); assert!(info.field_at(1).unwrap().is::<i32>()); } else { panic!("Expected `TypeInfo::TupleStruct`"); } ``` ### Manual Implementations It's not recommended to manually implement `Typed` yourself, but if you must, you can use the `TypeInfoCell` to automatically create and manage the static `TypeInfo`s for you (which is very helpful for blanket/generic impls): ```rust use bevy_reflect::{Reflect, TupleStructInfo, TypeInfo, UnnamedField}; use bevy_reflect::utility::TypeInfoCell; struct Foo<T: Reflect>(T); impl<T: Reflect> Typed for Foo<T> { fn type_info() -> &'static TypeInfo { static CELL: TypeInfoCell = TypeInfoCell::generic(); CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| { let fields = [UnnamedField::new::<T>()]; let info = TupleStructInfo::new::<Self>(&fields); TypeInfo::TupleStruct(info) }) } } ``` ## Benefits One major benefit is that this opens the door to other serialization methods. Since we can get all the type info at compile time, we can know how to properly deserialize something like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyType { foo: usize, bar: Vec<String> } // RON to be deserialized: ( type: "my_crate::MyType", // <- We now know how to deserialize the rest of this object value: { // "foo" is a value type matching "usize" "foo": 123, // "bar" is a list type matching "Vec<String>" with item type "String" "bar": ["a", "b", "c"] } ) ``` Not only is this more compact, but it has better compatibility (we can change the type of `"foo"` to `i32` without having to update our serialized data). Of course, serialization/deserialization strategies like this may need to be discussed and fully considered before possibly making a change. However, we will be better equipped to do that now that we can access type information right from the registry. ## Discussion Some items to discuss: 1. Duplication. There's a bit of overlap with the existing traits/structs since they require an instance of the type while the type info structs do not (for example, `Struct::field_at(&self, index: usize)` and `StructInfo::field_at(&self, index: usize)`, though only `StructInfo` is accessible without an instance object). Is this okay, or do we want to handle it in another way? 2. Should `TypeInfo::Dynamic` be removed? Since the dynamic types don't have type information available at runtime, we could consider them `TypeInfo::Value`s (or just even just `TypeInfo::Struct`). The intention with `TypeInfo::Dynamic` was to keep the distinction from these dynamic types and actual structs/values since users might incorrectly believe the methods of the dynamic type's info struct would map to some contained data (which isn't possible statically). 4. General usefulness of this change, including missing/unnecessary parts. 5. Possible changes to the scene format? (One possible issue with changing it like in the example above might be that we'd have to be careful when handling generic or trait object types.) ## Compile Tests I ran a few tests to compare compile times (as suggested [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4042#discussion_r876408143)). I toggled `Reflect` and `FromReflect` derive macros using `cfg_attr` for both this PR (aa5178e7736a6f8252e10e543e52722107649d3f) and main (c309acd4322b1c3b2089e247a2d28b938eb7b56d). <details> <summary>See More</summary> The test project included 250 of the following structs (as well as a few other structs): ```rust #[derive(Default)] #[cfg_attr(feature = "reflect", derive(Reflect))] #[cfg_attr(feature = "from_reflect", derive(FromReflect))] pub struct Big001 { inventory: Inventory, foo: usize, bar: String, baz: ItemDescriptor, items: [Item; 20], hello: Option<String>, world: HashMap<i32, String>, okay: (isize, usize, /* wesize */), nope: ((String, String), (f32, f32)), blah: Cow<'static, str>, } ``` > I don't know if the compiler can optimize all these duplicate structs away, but I think it's fine either way. We're comparing times, not finding the absolute worst-case time. I only ran each build 3 times using `cargo build --timings` (thank you @devil-ira), each of which were preceeded by a `cargo clean --package bevy_reflect_compile_test`. Here are the times I got: | Test | Test 1 | Test 2 | Test 3 | Average | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- | | Main | 1.7s | 3.1s | 1.9s | 2.33s | | Main + `Reflect` | 8.3s | 8.6s | 8.1s | 8.33s | | Main + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 11.6s | 11.8s | 13.8s | 12.4s | | PR | 3.5s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 2.4s | | PR + `Reflect` | 9.2s | 8.8s | 9.3s | 9.1s | | PR + `Reflect` + `FromReflect` | 12.9s | 12.3s | 12.5s | 12.56s | </details> --- ## Future Work Even though everything could probably be made `const`, we unfortunately can't. This is because `TypeId::of::<T>()` is not yet `const` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77125). When it does get stabilized, it would probably be worth coming back and making things `const`. Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>

Should it?~ Migration will be left to a follow-up PR. - [ ] This PR adds a lot of `#[derive(TypePath)]` and `T: TypePath` to satisfy new bounds, mostly when deriving `TypeUuid`. Should we make `TypePath` a supertrait of `TypeUuid`?

bevy_reflect: Add `as_reflect` and `as_reflect_mut` (#4350) # Objective Trait objects that have `Reflect` as a supertrait cannot be upcast to a `dyn Reflect`. Attempting something like: ```rust trait MyTrait: Reflect { // ... } fn foo(value: &dyn MyTrait) { let reflected = value as &dyn Reflect; // Error! // ... } ``` Results in `error[E0658]: trait upcasting coercion is experimental`. The reason this is important is that a lot of `bevy_reflect` methods require a `&dyn Reflect`. This is trivial with concrete types, but if we don't know the concrete type (we only have the trait object), we can't use these methods. For example, we couldn't create a `ReflectSerializer` for the type since it expects a `&dyn Reflect` value— even though we should be able to. ## Solution Add `as_reflect` and `as_reflect_mut` to `Reflect` to allow upcasting to a `dyn Reflect`: ```rust trait MyTrait: Reflect { // ... } fn foo(value: &dyn MyTrait) { let reflected = value.as_reflect(); // ... } ``` ## Alternatives We could defer this type of logic to the crate/user. They can add these methods to their trait in the same exact way we do here. The main benefit of doing it ourselves is it makes things convenient for them (especially when using the derive macro). We could also create an `AsReflect` trait with a blanket impl over all reflected types, however, I could not get that to work for trait objects since they aren't sized. --- ## Changelog - Added trait method `Reflect::as_reflect(&self)` - Added trait method `Reflect::as_reflect_mut(&mut self)` ## Migration Guide - Manual implementors of `Reflect` will need to add implementations for the methods above (this should be pretty easy as most cases just need to return `self`)

bevy_reflect: Improve debug formatting for reflected types (#4218) # Objective Debugging reflected types can be somewhat frustrating since all `dyn Reflect` trait objects return something like `Reflect(core::option::Option<alloc::string::String>)`. It would be much nicer to be able to see the actual value— or even use a custom `Debug` implementation. ## Solution Added `Reflect::debug` which allows users to customize the debug output. It sets defaults for all `ReflectRef` subtraits and falls back to `Reflect(type_name)` if no `Debug` implementation was registered. To register a custom `Debug` impl, users can add `#[reflect(Debug)]` like they can with other traits. ### Example Using the following structs: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] pub struct Foo { a: usize, nested: Bar, #[reflect(ignore)] _ignored: NonReflectedValue, } #[derive(Reflect)] pub struct Bar { value: Vec2, tuple_value: (i32, String), list_value: Vec<usize>, // We can't determine debug formatting for Option<T> yet unknown_value: Option<String>, custom_debug: CustomDebug } #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(Debug)] struct CustomDebug; impl Debug for CustomDebug { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result { write!(f, "This is a custom debug!") } } pub struct NonReflectedValue { _a: usize, } ``` We can do: ```rust let value = Foo { a: 1, _ignored: NonReflectedValue { _a: 10 }, nested: Bar { value: Vec2::new(1.23, 3.21), tuple_value: (123, String::from("Hello")), list_value: vec![1, 2, 3], unknown_value: Some(String::from("World")), custom_debug: CustomDebug }, }; let reflected_value: &dyn Reflect = &value; println!("{:#?}", reflected_value) ``` Which results in: ```rust Foo { a: 2, nested: Bar { value: Vec2( 1.23, 3.21, ), tuple_value: ( 123, "Hello", ), list_value: [ 1, 2, 3, ], unknown_value: Reflect(core::option::Option<alloc::string::String>), custom_debug: This is a custom debug!, }, } ``` Notice that neither `Foo` nor `Bar` implement `Debug`, yet we can still deduce it. This might be a concern if we're worried about leaking internal values. If it is, we might want to consider a way to exclude fields (possibly with a `#[reflect(hide)]` macro) or make it purely opt in (as opposed to the default implementation automatically handled by ReflectRef subtraits).

bevy_reflect: Better proxies (#6971) # Objective > This PR is based on discussion from #6601 The Dynamic types (e.g. `DynamicStruct`, `DynamicList`, etc.) act as both: 1. Dynamic containers which may hold any arbitrary data 2. Proxy types which may represent any other type Currently, the only way we can represent the proxy-ness of a Dynamic is by giving it a name. ```rust // This is just a dynamic container let mut data = DynamicStruct::default(); // This is a "proxy" data.set_name(std::any::type_name::<Foo>()); ``` This type name is the only way we check that the given Dynamic is a proxy of some other type. When we need to "assert the type" of a `dyn Reflect`, we call `Reflect::type_name` on it. However, because we're only using a string to denote the type, we run into a few gotchas and limitations. For example, hashing a Dynamic proxy may work differently than the type it proxies: ```rust #[derive(Reflect, Hash)] #[reflect(Hash)] struct Foo(i32); let concrete = Foo(123); let dynamic = concrete.clone_dynamic(); let concrete_hash = concrete.reflect_hash(); let dynamic_hash = dynamic.reflect_hash(); // The hashes are not equal because `concrete` uses its own `Hash` impl // while `dynamic` uses a reflection-based hashing algorithm assert_ne!(concrete_hash, dynamic_hash); ``` Because the Dynamic proxy only knows about the name of the type, it's unaware of any other information about it. This means it also differs on `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`, and may include ignored or skipped fields in places the concrete type wouldn't. ## Solution Rather than having Dynamics pass along just the type name of proxied types, we can instead have them pass around the `TypeInfo`. Now all Dynamic types contain an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than a `String`: ```diff pub struct DynamicTupleStruct { - type_name: String, + represented_type: Option<&'static TypeInfo>, fields: Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>>, } ``` By changing `Reflect::get_type_info` to `Reflect::represented_type_info`, hopefully we make this behavior a little clearer. And to account for `None` values on these dynamic types, `Reflect::represented_type_info` now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`. ```rust let mut data = DynamicTupleStruct::default(); // Not proxying any specific type assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_none()); let type_info = <Foo as Typed>::type_info(); dyn_tuple_struct.set_represented_type(Some(type_info)); // Alternatively: // let dyn_tuple_struct = foo.clone_dynamic(); // Now we're proxying `Foo` assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_some()); ``` This means that we can have full access to all the static type information for the proxied type. Future work would include transitioning more static type information (trait impls, attributes, etc.) over to the `TypeInfo` so it can actually be utilized by Dynamic proxies. ### Alternatives & Rationale > **Note** > These alternatives were written when this PR was first made using a `Proxy` trait. This trait has since been removed. <details> <summary>View</summary> #### Alternative: The `Proxy<T>` Approach I had considered adding something like a `Proxy<T>` type where `T` would be the Dynamic and would contain the proxied type information. This was nice in that it allows us to explicitly determine whether something is a proxy or not at a type level. `Proxy<DynamicStruct>` proxies a struct. Makes sense. The reason I didn't go with this approach is because (1) tuples, (2) complexity, and (3) `PartialReflect`. The `DynamicTuple` struct allows us to represent tuples at runtime. It also allows us to do something you normally can't with tuples: add new fields. Because of this, adding a field immediately invalidates the proxy (e.g. our info for `(i32, i32)` doesn't apply to `(i32, i32, NewField)`). By going with this PR's approach, we can just remove the type info on `DynamicTuple` when that happens. However, with the `Proxy<T>` approach, it becomes difficult to represent this behavior— we'd have to completely control how we access data for `T` for each `T`. Secondly, it introduces some added complexities (aside from the manual impls for each `T`). Does `Proxy<T>` impl `Reflect`? Likely yes, if we want to represent it as `dyn Reflect`. What `TypeInfo` do we give it? How would we forward reflection methods to the inner type (remember, we don't have specialization)? How do we separate this from Dynamic types? And finally, how do all this in a way that's both logical and intuitive for users? Lastly, introducing a `Proxy` trait rather than a `Proxy<T>` struct is actually more inline with the [Unique Reflect RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/56). In a way, the `Proxy` trait is really one part of the `PartialReflect` trait introduced in that RFC (it's technically not in that RFC but it fits well with it), where the `PartialReflect` serves as a way for proxies to work _like_ concrete types without having full access to everything a concrete `Reflect` type can do. This would help bridge the gap between the current state of the crate and the implementation of that RFC. All that said, this is still a viable solution. If the community believes this is the better path forward, then we can do that instead. These were just my reasons for not initially going with it in this PR. #### Alternative: The Type Registry Approach The `Proxy` trait is great and all, but how does it solve the original problem? Well, it doesn't— yet! The goal would be to start moving information from the derive macro and its attributes to the generated `TypeInfo` since these are known statically and shouldn't change. For example, adding `ignored: bool` to `[Un]NamedField` or a list of impls. However, there is another way of storing this information. This is, of course, one of the uses of the `TypeRegistry`. If we're worried about Dynamic proxies not aligning with their concrete counterparts, we could move more type information to the registry and require its usage. For example, we could replace `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self)` with `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self, registry: &TypeRegistry)`. That's not the _worst_ thing in the world, but it is an ergonomics loss. Additionally, other attributes may have their own requirements, further restricting what's possible without the registry. The `Reflect::apply` method will require the registry as well now. Why? Well because the `map_apply` function used for the `Reflect::apply` impls on `Map` types depends on `Map::insert_boxed`, which (at least for `DynamicMap`) requires `Reflect::reflect_hash`. The same would apply when adding support for reflection-based diffing, which will require `Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`. Again, this is a totally viable alternative. I just chose not to go with it for the reasons above. If we want to go with it, then we can close this PR and we can pursue this alternative instead. #### Downsides Just to highlight a quick potential downside (likely needs more investigation): retrieving the `TypeInfo` requires acquiring a lock on the `GenericTypeInfoCell` used by the `Typed` impls for generic types (non-generic types use a `OnceBox which should be faster). I am not sure how much of a performance hit that is and will need to run some benchmarks to compare against. </details> ### Open Questions 1. Should we use `Cow<'static, TypeInfo>` instead? I think that might be easier for modding? Perhaps, in that case, we need to update `Typed::type_info` and friends as well? 2. Are the alternatives better than the approach this PR takes? Are there other alternatives? --- ## Changelog ### Changed - `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to `Reflect::represented_type_info` - This method now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than just `&'static TypeInfo` ### Added - Added `Reflect::is_dynamic` method to indicate when a type is dynamic - Added a `set_represented_type` method on all dynamic types ### Removed - Removed `TypeInfo::Dynamic` (use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead) - Removed `Typed` impls for all dynamic types ## Migration Guide - The Dynamic types no longer take a string type name.

bevy_reflect: Improve debug formatting for reflected types (#4218) # Objective Debugging reflected types can be somewhat frustrating since all `dyn Reflect` trait objects return something like `Reflect(core::option::Option<alloc::string::String>)`. It would be much nicer to be able to see the actual value— or even use a custom `Debug` implementation. ## Solution Added `Reflect::debug` which allows users to customize the debug output. It sets defaults for all `ReflectRef` subtraits and falls back to `Reflect(type_name)` if no `Debug` implementation was registered. To register a custom `Debug` impl, users can add `#[reflect(Debug)]` like they can with other traits. ### Example Using the following structs: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] pub struct Foo { a: usize, nested: Bar, #[reflect(ignore)] _ignored: NonReflectedValue, } #[derive(Reflect)] pub struct Bar { value: Vec2, tuple_value: (i32, String), list_value: Vec<usize>, // We can't determine debug formatting for Option<T> yet unknown_value: Option<String>, custom_debug: CustomDebug } #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(Debug)] struct CustomDebug; impl Debug for CustomDebug { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result { write!(f, "This is a custom debug!") } } pub struct NonReflectedValue { _a: usize, } ``` We can do: ```rust let value = Foo { a: 1, _ignored: NonReflectedValue { _a: 10 }, nested: Bar { value: Vec2::new(1.23, 3.21), tuple_value: (123, String::from("Hello")), list_value: vec![1, 2, 3], unknown_value: Some(String::from("World")), custom_debug: CustomDebug }, }; let reflected_value: &dyn Reflect = &value; println!("{:#?}", reflected_value) ``` Which results in: ```rust Foo { a: 2, nested: Bar { value: Vec2( 1.23, 3.21, ), tuple_value: ( 123, "Hello", ), list_value: [ 1, 2, 3, ], unknown_value: Reflect(core::option::Option<alloc::string::String>), custom_debug: This is a custom debug!, }, } ``` Notice that neither `Foo` nor `Bar` implement `Debug`, yet we can still deduce it. This might be a concern if we're worried about leaking internal values. If it is, we might want to consider a way to exclude fields (possibly with a `#[reflect(hide)]` macro) or make it purely opt in (as opposed to the default implementation automatically handled by ReflectRef subtraits).

reflect: stable type path v2 (#7184) # Objective - Introduce a stable alternative to [`std::any::type_name`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/any/fn.type_name.html). - Rewrite of #5805 with heavy inspiration in design. - On the path to #5830. - Part of solving #3327. ## Solution - Add a `TypePath` trait for static stable type path/name information. - Add a `TypePath` derive macro. - Add a `impl_type_path` macro for implementing internal and foreign types in `bevy_reflect`. --- ## Changelog - Added `TypePath` trait. - Added `DynamicTypePath` trait and `get_type_path` method to `Reflect`. - Added a `TypePath` derive macro. - Added a `bevy_reflect::impl_type_path` for implementing `TypePath` on internal and foreign types in `bevy_reflect`. - Changed `bevy_reflect::utility::(Non)GenericTypeInfoCell` to `(Non)GenericTypedCell<T>` which allows us to be generic over both `TypeInfo` and `TypePath`. - `TypePath` is now a supertrait of `Asset`, `Material` and `Material2d`. - `impl_reflect_struct` needs a `#[type_path = "..."]` attribute to be specified. - `impl_reflect_value` needs to either specify path starting with a double colon (`::core::option::Option`) or an `in my_crate::foo` declaration. - Added `bevy_reflect_derive::ReflectTypePath`. - Most uses of `Ident` in `bevy_reflect_derive` changed to use `ReflectTypePath`. ## Migration Guide - Implementors of `Asset`, `Material` and `Material2d` now also need to derive `TypePath`. - Manual implementors of `Reflect` will need to implement the new `get_type_path` method. ## Open Questions - [x] ~This PR currently does not migrate any usages of `std::any::type_name` to use `bevy_reflect::TypePath` to ease the review process. Should it?~ Migration will be left to a follow-up PR. - [ ] This PR adds a lot of `#[derive(TypePath)]` and `T: TypePath` to satisfy new bounds, mostly when deriving `TypeUuid`. Should we make `TypePath` a supertrait of `TypeUuid`? [Should we remove `TypeUuid` in favour of `TypePath`?](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5805/files/2afbd855327c4b68e0a6b6f03118f289988441a4#r961067892)
