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: Decouple `List` and `Array` traits (#7467) # Objective Resolves #7121 ## Solution Decouples `List` and `Array` by removing `Array` as a supertrait of `List`. Additionally, similar methods from `Array` have been added to `List` so that their usages can remain largely unchanged. #### Possible Alternatives ##### `Sequence` My guess for why we originally made `List` a subtrait of `Array` is that they share a lot of common operations. We could potentially move these overlapping methods to a `Sequence` (name taken from #7059) trait and make that a supertrait of both. This would allow functions to contain logic that simply operates on a sequence rather than "list vs array". However, this means that we'd need to add methods for converting to a `dyn Sequence`. It also might be confusing since we wouldn't add a `ReflectRef::Sequence` or anything like that. Is such a trait worth adding (either in this PR or a followup one)? --- ## Changelog - Removed `Array` as supertrait of `List` - Added methods to `List` that were previously provided by `Array` ## Migration Guide The `List` trait is no longer dependent on `Array`. Implementors of `List` can remove the `Array` impl and move its methods into the `List` impl (with only a couple tweaks). ```rust // BEFORE impl Array for Foo { fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn get_mut(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn len(&self) -> usize {/* ... */} fn is_empty(&self) -> bool {/* ... */} fn iter(&self) -> ArrayIter {/* ... */} fn drain(self: Box<Self>) -> Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicArray {/* ... */} } impl List for Foo { fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn push(&mut self, value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicList {/* ... */} } // AFTER impl List for Foo { fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn get_mut(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn push(&mut self, value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn len(&self) -> usize {/* ... */} fn is_empty(&self) -> bool {/* ... */} fn iter(&self) -> ListIter {/* ... */} fn drain(self: Box<Self>) -> Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicList {/* ... */} } ``` Some other small tweaks that will need to be made include: - Use `ListIter` for `List::iter` instead of `ArrayIter` (the return type from `Array::iter`) - Replace `array_hash` with `list_hash` in `Reflect::reflect_hash` for implementors of `List`

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`?

bevy_reflect: Function reflection (#13152) # Objective We're able to reflect types sooooooo... why not functions? The goal of this PR is to make functions callable within a dynamic context, where type information is not readily available at compile time. For example, if we have a function: ```rust fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 { left + right } ``` And two `Reflect` values we've already validated are `i32` types: ```rust let left: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32); let right: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32); ``` We should be able to call `add` with these values: ```rust // ????? let result: Box<dyn Reflect> = add.call_dynamic(left, right); ``` And ideally this wouldn't just work for functions, but methods and closures too! Right now, users have two options: 1. Manually parse the reflected data and call the function themselves 2. Rely on registered type data to handle the conversions for them For a small function like `add`, this isn't too bad. But what about for more complex functions? What about for many functions? At worst, this process is error-prone. At best, it's simply tedious. And this is assuming we know the function at compile time. What if we want to accept a function dynamically and call it with our own arguments? It would be much nicer if `bevy_reflect` could alleviate some of the problems here. ## Solution Added function reflection! This adds a `DynamicFunction` type to wrap a function dynamically. This can be called with an `ArgList`, which is a dynamic list of `Reflect`-containing `Arg` arguments. It returns a `FunctionResult` which indicates whether or not the function call succeeded, returning a `Reflect`-containing `Return` type if it did succeed. Many functions can be converted into this `DynamicFunction` type thanks to the `IntoFunction` trait. Taking our previous `add` example, this might look something like (explicit types added for readability): ```rust fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 { left + right } let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function(); let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32); let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap(); let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned(); assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4); ``` And it also works on closures: ```rust let add = |left: i32, right: i32| left + right; let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function(); let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32); let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap(); let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned(); assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4); ``` As well as methods: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo(i32); impl Foo { fn add(&mut self, value: i32) { self.0 += value; } } let mut foo = Foo(2); let mut function: DynamicFunction = Foo::add.into_function(); let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_mut(&mut foo).push_owned(2_i32); function.call(args).unwrap(); assert_eq!(foo.0, 4); ``` ### Limitations While this does cover many functions, it is far from a perfect system and has quite a few limitations. Here are a few of the limitations when using `IntoFunction`: 1. The lifetime of the return value is only tied to the lifetime of the first argument (useful for methods). This means you can't have a function like `(a: i32, b: &i32) -> &i32` without creating the `DynamicFunction` manually. 2. Only 15 arguments are currently supported. If the first argument is a (mutable) reference, this number increases to 16. 3. Manual implementations of `Reflect` will need to implement the new `FromArg`, `GetOwnership`, and `IntoReturn` traits in order to be used as arguments/return types. And some limitations of `DynamicFunction` itself: 1. All arguments share the same lifetime, or rather, they will shrink to the shortest lifetime. 2. Closures that capture their environment may need to have their `DynamicFunction` dropped before accessing those variables again (there is a `DynamicFunction::call_once` to make this a bit easier) 3. All arguments and return types must implement `Reflect`. While not a big surprise coming from `bevy_reflect`, this implementation could actually still work by swapping `Reflect` out with `Any`. Of course, that makes working with the arguments and return values a bit harder. 4. Generic functions are not supported (unless they have been manually monomorphized) And general, reflection gotchas: 1. `&str` does not implement `Reflect`. Rather, `&'static str` implements `Reflect` (the same is true for `&Path` and similar types). This means that `&'static str` is considered an "owned" value for the sake of generating arguments. Additionally, arguments and return types containing `&str` will assume it's `&'static str`, which is almost never the desired behavior. In these cases, the only solution (I believe) is to use `&String` instead. ### Followup Work This PR is the first of two PRs I intend to work on. The second PR will aim to integrate this new function reflection system into the existing reflection traits and `TypeInfo`. The goal would be to register and call a reflected type's methods dynamically. I chose not to do that in this PR since the diff is already quite large. I also want the discussion for both PRs to be focused on their own implementation. Another followup I'd like to do is investigate allowing common container types as a return type, such as `Option<&[mut] T>` and `Result<&[mut] T, E>`. This would allow even more functions to opt into this system. I chose to not include it in this one, though, for the same reasoning as previously mentioned. ### Alternatives One alternative I had considered was adding a macro to convert any function into a reflection-based counterpart. The idea would be that a struct that wraps the function would be created and users could specify which arguments and return values should be `Reflect`. It could then be called via a new `Function` trait. I think that could still work, but it will be a fair bit more involved, requiring some slightly more complex parsing. And it of course is a bit more work for the user, since they need to create the type via macro invocation. It also makes registering these functions onto a type a bit more complicated (depending on how it's implemented). For now, I think this is a fairly simple, yet powerful solution that provides the least amount of friction for users. --- ## Showcase Bevy now adds support for storing and calling functions dynamically using reflection! ```rust // 1. Take a standard Rust function fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 { left + right } // 2. Convert it into a type-erased `DynamicFunction` using the `IntoFunction` trait let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function(); // 3. Define your arguments from reflected values let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32); // 4. Call the function with your arguments let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap(); // 5. Extract the return value let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned(); assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4); ``` ## Changelog #### TL;DR - Added support for function reflection - Added a new `Function Reflection` example: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/ba727898f2adff817838fc4cdb49871bbce37356/examples/reflection/function_reflection.rs#L1-L157 #### Details Added the following items: - `ArgError` enum - `ArgId` enum - `ArgInfo` struct - `ArgList` struct - `Arg` enum - `DynamicFunction` struct - `FromArg` trait (derived with `derive(Reflect)`) - `FunctionError` enum - `FunctionInfo` struct - `FunctionResult` alias - `GetOwnership` trait (derived with `derive(Reflect)`) - `IntoFunction` trait (with blanket implementation) - `IntoReturn` trait (derived with `derive(Reflect)`) - `Ownership` enum - `ReturnInfo` struct - `Return` enum --------- Co-authored-by: Periwink <charlesbour@gmail.com>

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. 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. Use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead: ```rust // BEFORE: if matches!(value.get_type_info(), TypeInfo::Dynamic) { // ... } // AFTER: if value.is_dynamic() { // ... } ``` --------- Co-authored-by: radiish <cb.setho@gmail.com>

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. 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. Use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead: ```rust // BEFORE: if matches!(value.get_type_info(), TypeInfo::Dynamic) { // ... } // AFTER: if value.is_dynamic() { // ... } ``` --------- Co-authored-by: radiish <cb.setho@gmail.com>

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>

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: 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`.

These methods supersede the old `type_name` methods. - Remove `Reflect::type_name` in favor of `DynamicTypePath::type_path` and `TypeInfo::type_path_table`. - Switch all uses of `std::any::type_name` in reflection, non-debugging contexts to use `TypePath`. --- ## Changelog - Added `TypePathTable` for dynamically accessing methods on `TypePath` through `TypeInfo` and the type registry. - Removed `type_name` from all `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Added `type_path` and `type_path_table` methods to all `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Removed `Reflect::type_name` in favor of `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path` and `TypeInfo::type_path`. - Changed the signature of all `DynamicTypePath` methods to return strings with a static lifetime. ## Migration Guide - Rely on `TypePath` instead of `std::any::type_name` for all stability guarantees and for use in all reflection contexts, this is used through with one of the following APIs: - `TypePath::type_path` if you have a concrete type and not a value. - `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path` if you have an `dyn Reflect` value without a concrete type. - `TypeInfo::type_path` for use through the registry or if you want to work with the represented type of a `DynamicFoo`. - Remove `type_name` from manual `Reflect` implementations. - Use `type_path` and `type_path_table` in place of `type_name` on `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Use `get_with_type_path(_mut)` over `get_with_type_name(_mut)`. ## Note to reviewers I think if anything we were a little overzealous in merging #7184 and we should take that extra care here. In my mind, this is the "point of no return" for `TypePath` and while I think we all agree on the design, we should carefully consider if the finer details and current implementations are actually how we want them moving forward.

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>

reflect: `TypePath` part 2 (#8768) # Objective - Followup to #7184. - ~Deprecate `TypeUuid` and remove its internal references.~ No longer part of this PR. - Use `TypePath` for the type registry, and (de)serialisation instead of `std::any::type_name`. - Allow accessing type path information behind proxies. ## Solution - Introduce methods on `TypeInfo` and friends for dynamically querying type path. These methods supersede the old `type_name` methods. - Remove `Reflect::type_name` in favor of `DynamicTypePath::type_path` and `TypeInfo::type_path_table`. - Switch all uses of `std::any::type_name` in reflection, non-debugging contexts to use `TypePath`. --- ## Changelog - Added `TypePathTable` for dynamically accessing methods on `TypePath` through `TypeInfo` and the type registry. - Removed `type_name` from all `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Added `type_path` and `type_path_table` methods to all `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Removed `Reflect::type_name` in favor of `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path` and `TypeInfo::type_path`. - Changed the signature of all `DynamicTypePath` methods to return strings with a static lifetime. ## Migration Guide - Rely on `TypePath` instead of `std::any::type_name` for all stability guarantees and for use in all reflection contexts, this is used through with one of the following APIs: - `TypePath::type_path` if you have a concrete type and not a value. - `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path` if you have an `dyn Reflect` value without a concrete type. - `TypeInfo::type_path` for use through the registry or if you want to work with the represented type of a `DynamicFoo`. - Remove `type_name` from manual `Reflect` implementations. - Use `type_path` and `type_path_table` in place of `type_name` on `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Use `get_with_type_path(_mut)` over `get_with_type_name(_mut)`. ## Note to reviewers I think if anything we were a little overzealous in merging #7184 and we should take that extra care here. In my mind, this is the "point of no return" for `TypePath` and while I think we all agree on the design, we should carefully consider if the finer details and current implementations are actually how we want them moving forward. For example [this incorrect `TypePath` implementation for `String`](https://github.com/soqb/bevy/blob/3fea3c6c0b5719dfbd3d4230f5282ec80d82556a/crates/bevy_reflect/src/impls/std.rs#L90) (note that `String` is in the default Rust prelude) snuck in completely under the radar.

item_type_path: TypePathTable::of::<TItem>(),
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)).

These methods supersede the old `type_name` methods. - Remove `Reflect::type_name` in favor of `DynamicTypePath::type_path` and `TypeInfo::type_path_table`. - Switch all uses of `std::any::type_name` in reflection, non-debugging contexts to use `TypePath`. --- ## Changelog - Added `TypePathTable` for dynamically accessing methods on `TypePath` through `TypeInfo` and the type registry. - Removed `type_name` from all `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Added `type_path` and `type_path_table` methods to all `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Removed `Reflect::type_name` in favor of `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path` and `TypeInfo::type_path`. - Changed the signature of all `DynamicTypePath` methods to return strings with a static lifetime. ## Migration Guide - Rely on `TypePath` instead of `std::any::type_name` for all stability guarantees and for use in all reflection contexts, this is used through with one of the following APIs: - `TypePath::type_path` if you have a concrete type and not a value. - `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path` if you have an `dyn Reflect` value without a concrete type. - `TypeInfo::type_path` for use through the registry or if you want to work with the represented type of a `DynamicFoo`. - Remove `type_name` from manual `Reflect` implementations. - Use `type_path` and `type_path_table` in place of `type_name` on `TypeInfo`-like structs. - Use `get_with_type_path(_mut)` over `get_with_type_name(_mut)`. ## Note to reviewers I think if anything we were a little overzealous in merging #7184 and we should take that extra care here. In my mind, this is the "point of no return" for `TypePath` and while I think we all agree on the design, we should carefully consider if the finer details and current implementations are actually how we want them moving forward. For example [this incorrect `TypePath` implementation for `String`](https://github.com/soqb/bevy/blob/3fea3c6c0b5719dfbd3d4230f5282ec80d82556a/crates/bevy_reflect/src/impls/std.rs#L90) (note that `String` is in the default Rust prelude) snuck in completely under the radar.

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: 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 DynamicList {
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.

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?

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.

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>

#[inline]
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. 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 `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: Decouple `List` and `Array` traits (#7467) # Objective Resolves #7121 ## Solution Decouples `List` and `Array` by removing `Array` as a supertrait of `List`. Additionally, similar methods from `Array` have been added to `List` so that their usages can remain largely unchanged. #### Possible Alternatives ##### `Sequence` My guess for why we originally made `List` a subtrait of `Array` is that they share a lot of common operations. We could potentially move these overlapping methods to a `Sequence` (name taken from #7059) trait and make that a supertrait of both. This would allow functions to contain logic that simply operates on a sequence rather than "list vs array". However, this means that we'd need to add methods for converting to a `dyn Sequence`. It also might be confusing since we wouldn't add a `ReflectRef::Sequence` or anything like that. Is such a trait worth adding (either in this PR or a followup one)? --- ## Changelog - Removed `Array` as supertrait of `List` - Added methods to `List` that were previously provided by `Array` ## Migration Guide The `List` trait is no longer dependent on `Array`. Implementors of `List` can remove the `Array` impl and move its methods into the `List` impl (with only a couple tweaks). ```rust // BEFORE impl Array for Foo { fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn get_mut(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn len(&self) -> usize {/* ... */} fn is_empty(&self) -> bool {/* ... */} fn iter(&self) -> ArrayIter {/* ... */} fn drain(self: Box<Self>) -> Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicArray {/* ... */} } impl List for Foo { fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn push(&mut self, value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicList {/* ... */} } // AFTER impl List for Foo { fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn get_mut(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn push(&mut self, value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn len(&self) -> usize {/* ... */} fn is_empty(&self) -> bool {/* ... */} fn iter(&self) -> ListIter {/* ... */} fn drain(self: Box<Self>) -> Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicList {/* ... */} } ``` Some other small tweaks that will need to be made include: - Use `ListIter` for `List::iter` instead of `ArrayIter` (the return type from `Array::iter`) - Replace `array_hash` with `list_hash` in `Reflect::reflect_hash` for implementors of `List`

bevy_reflect: Decouple `List` and `Array` traits (#7467) # Objective Resolves #7121 ## Solution Decouples `List` and `Array` by removing `Array` as a supertrait of `List`. Additionally, similar methods from `Array` have been added to `List` so that their usages can remain largely unchanged. #### Possible Alternatives ##### `Sequence` My guess for why we originally made `List` a subtrait of `Array` is that they share a lot of common operations. We could potentially move these overlapping methods to a `Sequence` (name taken from #7059) trait and make that a supertrait of both. This would allow functions to contain logic that simply operates on a sequence rather than "list vs array". However, this means that we'd need to add methods for converting to a `dyn Sequence`. It also might be confusing since we wouldn't add a `ReflectRef::Sequence` or anything like that. Is such a trait worth adding (either in this PR or a followup one)? --- ## Changelog - Removed `Array` as supertrait of `List` - Added methods to `List` that were previously provided by `Array` ## Migration Guide The `List` trait is no longer dependent on `Array`. Implementors of `List` can remove the `Array` impl and move its methods into the `List` impl (with only a couple tweaks). ```rust // BEFORE impl Array for Foo { fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn get_mut(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn len(&self) -> usize {/* ... */} fn is_empty(&self) -> bool {/* ... */} fn iter(&self) -> ArrayIter {/* ... */} fn drain(self: Box<Self>) -> Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicArray {/* ... */} } impl List for Foo { fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn push(&mut self, value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicList {/* ... */} } // AFTER impl List for Foo { fn get(&self, index: usize) -> Option<&dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn get_mut(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn insert(&mut self, index: usize, element: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn remove(&mut self, index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {/* ... */} fn push(&mut self, value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */} fn pop(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn len(&self) -> usize {/* ... */} fn is_empty(&self) -> bool {/* ... */} fn iter(&self) -> ListIter {/* ... */} fn drain(self: Box<Self>) -> Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>> {/* ... */} fn clone_dynamic(&self) -> DynamicList {/* ... */} } ``` Some other small tweaks that will need to be made include: - Use `ListIter` for `List::iter` instead of `ArrayIter` (the return type from `Array::iter`) - Replace `array_hash` with `list_hash` in `Reflect::reflect_hash` for implementors of `List`

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. 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: Function reflection (#13152) # Objective We're able to reflect types sooooooo... why not functions? The goal of this PR is to make functions callable within a dynamic context, where type information is not readily available at compile time. For example, if we have a function: ```rust fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 { left + right } ``` And two `Reflect` values we've already validated are `i32` types: ```rust let left: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32); let right: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32); ``` We should be able to call `add` with these values: ```rust // ????? let result: Box<dyn Reflect> = add.call_dynamic(left, right); ``` And ideally this wouldn't just work for functions, but methods and closures too! Right now, users have two options: 1. Manually parse the reflected data and call the function themselves 2. Rely on registered type data to handle the conversions for them For a small function like `add`, this isn't too bad. But what about for more complex functions? What about for many functions? At worst, this process is error-prone. At best, it's simply tedious. And this is assuming we know the function at compile time. What if we want to accept a function dynamically and call it with our own arguments? It would be much nicer if `bevy_reflect` could alleviate some of the problems here. ## Solution Added function reflection! This adds a `DynamicFunction` type to wrap a function dynamically. This can be called with an `ArgList`, which is a dynamic list of `Reflect`-containing `Arg` arguments. It returns a `FunctionResult` which indicates whether or not the function call succeeded, returning a `Reflect`-containing `Return` type if it did succeed. Many functions can be converted into this `DynamicFunction` type thanks to the `IntoFunction` trait. Taking our previous `add` example, this might look something like (explicit types added for readability): ```rust fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 { left + right } let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function(); let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32); let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap(); let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned(); assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4); ``` And it also works on closures: ```rust let add = |left: i32, right: i32| left + right; let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function(); let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32); let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap(); let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned(); assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4); ``` As well as methods: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo(i32); impl Foo { fn add(&mut self, value: i32) { self.0 += value; } } let mut foo = Foo(2); let mut function: DynamicFunction = Foo::add.into_function(); let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_mut(&mut foo).push_owned(2_i32); function.call(args).unwrap(); assert_eq!(foo.0, 4); ``` ### Limitations While this does cover many functions, it is far from a perfect system and has quite a few limitations. Here are a few of the limitations when using `IntoFunction`: 1. The lifetime of the return value is only tied to the lifetime of the first argument (useful for methods). This means you can't have a function like `(a: i32, b: &i32) -> &i32` without creating the `DynamicFunction` manually. 2. Only 15 arguments are currently supported. If the first argument is a (mutable) reference, this number increases to 16. 3. Manual implementations of `Reflect` will need to implement the new `FromArg`, `GetOwnership`, and `IntoReturn` traits in order to be used as arguments/return types. And some limitations of `DynamicFunction` itself: 1. All arguments share the same lifetime, or rather, they will shrink to the shortest lifetime. 2. Closures that capture their environment may need to have their `DynamicFunction` dropped before accessing those variables again (there is a `DynamicFunction::call_once` to make this a bit easier) 3. All arguments and return types must implement `Reflect`. While not a big surprise coming from `bevy_reflect`, this implementation could actually still work by swapping `Reflect` out with `Any`. Of course, that makes working with the arguments and return values a bit harder. 4. Generic functions are not supported (unless they have been manually monomorphized) And general, reflection gotchas: 1. `&str` does not implement `Reflect`. Rather, `&'static str` implements `Reflect` (the same is true for `&Path` and similar types). This means that `&'static str` is considered an "owned" value for the sake of generating arguments. Additionally, arguments and return types containing `&str` will assume it's `&'static str`, which is almost never the desired behavior. In these cases, the only solution (I believe) is to use `&String` instead. ### Followup Work This PR is the first of two PRs I intend to work on. The second PR will aim to integrate this new function reflection system into the existing reflection traits and `TypeInfo`. The goal would be to register and call a reflected type's methods dynamically. I chose not to do that in this PR since the diff is already quite large. I also want the discussion for both PRs to be focused on their own implementation. Another followup I'd like to do is investigate allowing common container types as a return type, such as `Option<&[mut] T>` and `Result<&[mut] T, E>`. This would allow even more functions to opt into this system. I chose to not include it in this one, though, for the same reasoning as previously mentioned. ### Alternatives One alternative I had considered was adding a macro to convert any function into a reflection-based counterpart. The idea would be that a struct that wraps the function would be created and users could specify which arguments and return values should be `Reflect`. It could then be called via a new `Function` trait. I think that could still work, but it will be a fair bit more involved, requiring some slightly more complex parsing. And it of course is a bit more work for the user, since they need to create the type via macro invocation. It also makes registering these functions onto a type a bit more complicated (depending on how it's implemented). For now, I think this is a fairly simple, yet powerful solution that provides the least amount of friction for users. --- ## Showcase Bevy now adds support for storing and calling functions dynamically using reflection! ```rust // 1. Take a standard Rust function fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 { left + right } // 2. Convert it into a type-erased `DynamicFunction` using the `IntoFunction` trait let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function(); // 3. Define your arguments from reflected values let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32); // 4. Call the function with your arguments let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap(); // 5. Extract the return value let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned(); assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4); ``` ## Changelog #### TL;DR - Added support for function reflection - Added a new `Function Reflection` example: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/ba727898f2adff817838fc4cdb49871bbce37356/examples/reflection/function_reflection.rs#L1-L157 #### Details Added the following items: - `ArgError` enum - `ArgId` enum - `ArgInfo` struct - `ArgList` struct - `Arg` enum - `DynamicFunction` struct - `FromArg` trait (derived with `derive(Reflect)`) - `FunctionError` enum - `FunctionInfo` struct - `FunctionResult` alias - `GetOwnership` trait (derived with `derive(Reflect)`) - `IntoFunction` trait (with blanket implementation) - `IntoReturn` trait (derived with `derive(Reflect)`) - `Ownership` enum - `ReturnInfo` struct - `Return` enum --------- Co-authored-by: Periwink <charlesbour@gmail.com>

[Should we remove `TypeUuid` in favour of `TypePath`?](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5805/files/2afbd855327c4b68e0a6b6f03118f289988441a4#r961067892)

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).
