# Objective
`Commands::spawn_empty` docs say that it queues a command to spawn an
entity, but it doesn't. It immediately reserves an `Entity` to be
spawned at the next flush point, which is possible because
`Entities::reserve_entity()` takes `&self` and no components are added
yet.
## Solution
Fix docs.
# Objective
- Bevy currently has lot of invalid intra-doc links, let's fix them!
- Also make CI test them, to avoid future regressions.
- Helps with #1983 (but doesn't fix it, as there could still be explicit
links to docs.rs that are broken)
## Solution
- Make `cargo r -p ci -- doc-check` check fail on warnings (could also
be changed to just some specific lints)
- Manually fix all the warnings (note that in some cases it was unclear
to me what the fix should have been, I'll try to highlight them in a
self-review)
# Objective
Fixes#14248 and other URL issues.
## Solution
- Describe the solution used to achieve the objective above.
Removed the random #s in the URL. Led users to the wrong page. For
example, https://bevyengine.org/learn/errors/#b0003 takes users to
https://bevyengine.org/learn/errors/introduction, which is not the right
page. Removing the #s fixes it.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
I pasted the URL into my address bar and it took me to the right place.
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
No
# Objective
When using combinators such as `EntityCommand::with_entity` to build
commands, it can be easy to forget to apply that command, leading to
dead code. In many cases this doesn't even lead to an unused variable
warning, which can make these mistakes difficult to track down
## Solution
Annotate the method with `#[must_use]`
Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>
# Objective
The trait method `with_entity` is used to add an `EntityCommand` to the
command queue. Currently this method returns `WithEntity<C>` which pairs
a command with an `Entity`. By replacing this explicit type with an
opaque type, implementors can override this default implementation by
returning a custom command or closure that does the same thing with a
lower memory footprint.
# Solution
Return an opaque type from the method. As a bonus this file is now
cleaner without the `WithEntity` boilerplate
# Objective
Fixes#13933.
## Solution
Changed the return type.
## Testing
Fixed and reused the pre-existing tests for `inspect_entity`.
---
## Migration Guide
- `World::inspect_entity` now returns an `Iterator` instead of a `Vec`.
If you need a `Vec`, immediately collect the iterator:
`world.inspect_entity(entity).collect<Vec<_>>()`
# Objective
- Provide an expressive way to register dynamic behavior in response to
ECS changes that is consistent with existing bevy types and traits as to
provide a smooth user experience.
- Provide a mechanism for immediate changes in response to events during
command application in order to facilitate improved query caching on the
path to relations.
## Solution
- A new fundamental ECS construct, the `Observer`; inspired by flec's
observers but adapted to better fit bevy's access patterns and rust's
type system.
---
## Examples
There are 3 main ways to register observers. The first is a "component
observer" that looks like this:
```rust
world.observe(|trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Transform>, query: Query<&Transform>| {
let transform = query.get(trigger.entity()).unwrap();
});
```
The above code will spawn a new entity representing the observer that
will run it's callback whenever the `Transform` component is added to an
entity. This is a system-like function that supports dependency
injection for all the standard bevy types: `Query`, `Res`, `Commands`
etc. It also has a `Trigger` parameter that provides information about
the trigger such as the target entity, and the event being triggered.
Importantly these systems run during command application which is key
for their future use to keep ECS internals up to date. There are similar
events for `OnInsert` and `OnRemove`, and this will be expanded with
things such as `ArchetypeCreated`, `TableEmpty` etc. in follow up PRs.
Another way to register an observer is an "entity observer" that looks
like this:
```rust
world.entity_mut(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {
// ...
});
```
Entity observers run whenever an event of their type is triggered
targeting that specific entity. This type of observer will de-spawn
itself if the entity (or entities) it is observing is ever de-spawned so
as to not leave dangling observers.
Entity observers can also be spawned from deferred contexts such as
other observers, systems, or hooks using commands:
```rust
commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {
// ...
});
```
Observers are not limited to in built event types, they can be used with
any type that implements `Event` (which has been extended to implement
Component). This means events can also carry data:
```rust
#[derive(Event)]
struct Resize { x: u32, y: u32 }
commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>, query: Query<&mut Size>| {
let event = trigger.event();
// ...
});
// Will trigger the observer when commands are applied.
commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, entity);
```
You can also trigger events that target more than one entity at a time:
```rust
commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, [e1, e2]);
```
Additionally, Observers don't _need_ entity targets:
```rust
app.observe(|trigger: Trigger<Quit>| {
})
commands.trigger(Quit);
```
In these cases, `trigger.entity()` will be a placeholder.
Observers are actually just normal entities with an `ObserverState` and
`Observer` component! The `observe()` functions above are just shorthand
for:
```rust
world.spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {});
```
This will spawn the `Observer` system and use an `on_add` hook to add
the `ObserverState` component.
Dynamic components and trigger types are also fully supported allowing
for runtime defined trigger types.
## Possible Follow-ups
1. Deprecate `RemovedComponents`, observers should fulfill all use cases
while being more flexible and performant.
2. Queries as entities: Swap queries to entities and begin using
observers listening to archetype creation triggers to keep their caches
in sync, this allows unification of `ObserverState` and `QueryState` as
well as unlocking several API improvements for `Query` and the
management of `QueryState`.
3. Trigger bubbling: For some UI use cases in particular users are
likely to want some form of bubbling for entity observers, this is
trivial to implement naively but ideally this includes an acceleration
structure to cache hierarchy traversals.
4. All kinds of other in-built trigger types.
5. Optimization; in order to not bloat the complexity of the PR I have
kept the implementation straightforward, there are several areas where
performance can be improved. The focus for this PR is to get the
behavior implemented and not incur a performance cost for users who
don't use observers.
I am leaving each of these to follow up PR's in order to keep each of
them reviewable as this already includes significant changes.

# Objective
The `EntityCommands::despawn` method was previously changed from
panicking behavior to a warning, but the docs continue to state that it
panics.
## Solution
- Removed panic section, copied warning blurb from `World::despawn`
- Adds a similar warning blurb to
`DespawnRecursiveExt::despawn_recursive` and
`DespawnRecursiveExt::despawn_descendants`
# Objective
Adds capability to clear all components on an entity without de-spawning
said entity.
## Testing
The function calls `remove_by_id` on every component in the entity
archetype - wasn't sure if it's worth going out of our way to create a
test for this considering `remove_by_id` is already unit tested.
---
## Changelog
Added `clear` function to `EntityWorldMut` which removes all components
on an entity.

# Objective
- Better `SystemId` <-> `Entity` conversion.
## Solution
- Provide a method `SystemId::from_entity` to create a `SystemId<I, O>`
form an `Entity`. When users want to deal with the entities manually
they need a way to convert the `Entity` back to a `SystemId` to actually
run the system with `Commands` or `World`.
- Provide a method `SystemId::entity` that returns an `Entity` from
`SystemId`. The current `From` impl is not very discoverable as it does
not appear on the `SystemId` doc page.
- Remove old `From` impl.
## Migration Guide
```rust
let system_id = world.register_system(my_sys);
// old
let entity = Entity::from(system_id);
// new
let entity = system_id.entity();
```

# Objective
- Add `remove_by_id` method to `EntityWorldMut` and `EntityCommands`
- This is a duplicate of the awesome work by @mateuseap, last updated
04/09/23 - #9663
- I'm opening a second one to ensure the feature makes it into `0.14`
- Fixes#9261
## Solution
Almost identical to #9663 with three exceptions
- Uses a closure instead of struct for commands, consistent with other
similar commands
- Does not refactor `EntityCommands::insert`, so no migration guide
- `EntityWorldMut::remove_by_id` is now safe containing unsafe blocks, I
think thats what @SkiFire13 was indicating should happen [in this
comment](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9663#discussion_r1314307525)
## Changelog
- Added `EntityWorldMut::remove_by_id` method and its tests.
- Added `EntityCommands::remove_by_id` method and its tests.

# Objective
- The `bundles` parameter in `insert_or_spawn_batch` method has
inconsistent naming with docs (e.g. `bundles_iter`) since #11107.
## Solution
- Replace `bundles` with `bundles_iter`, as `bundles_iter` is more
expressive to its type.
# Objective
- Allow registering of systems from Commands with
`Commands::register_one_shot_system`
- Make registering of one shot systems more easy
## Solution
- Add the Command `RegisterSystem` for Commands use.
- Creation of SystemId based on lazy insertion of the System
- Changed the privacy of the fields in SystemId so Commands can return
the SystemId
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Added command `RegisterSystem`
- Added function `Commands::register_one_shot_system`
- Added function `App::register_one_shot_system`
### Changed
- Changed the privacy and the type of struct tuple to regular struct of
SystemId
## Migration Guide
- Changed SystemId fields from tuple struct to a normal struct
If you want to access the entity field, you should use
`SystemId::entity` instead of `SystemId::0`
## Showcase
> Before, if you wanted to register a system with `Commands`, you would
need to do:
```rust
commands.add(|world: &mut World| {
let id = world.register_system(your_system);
// You would need to insert the SystemId inside an entity or similar
})
```
> Now, you can:
```rust
let id = commands.register_one_shot_system(your_system);
// Do what you want with the Id
```

# Objective
Fix Pr CI failing over dead code in tests and main branch CI failing
over a missing semicolon. Fixes#12620.
## Solution
Add dead_code annotations and a semicolon.
- Explain it is flushed in the same schedule run (was not obvious to me)
- Point to `apply_deferred` example
- Remove mentions of `System::apply_deferred` and
`Schedule::apply_deferred` which are probably too low level for the most
users
Co-authored-by: James Liu <contact@jamessliu.com>
# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11628
## Migration Guide
`Command` and `CommandQueue` have migrated from `bevy_ecs::system` to
`bevy_ecs::world`, so `use bevy_ecs::world::{Command, CommandQueue};`
when necessary.
# Objective
- Provide a reliable and performant mechanism to allows users to keep
components synchronized with external sources: closing/opening sockets,
updating indexes, debugging etc.
- Implement a generic mechanism to provide mutable access to the world
without allowing structural changes; this will not only be used here but
is a foundational piece for observers, which are key for a performant
implementation of relations.
## Solution
- Implement a new type `DeferredWorld` (naming is not important,
`StaticWorld` is also suitable) that wraps a world pointer and prevents
user code from making any structural changes to the ECS; spawning
entities, creating components, initializing resources etc.
- Add component lifecycle hooks `on_add`, `on_insert` and `on_remove`
that can be assigned callbacks in user code.
---
## Changelog
- Add new `DeferredWorld` type.
- Add new world methods: `register_component::<T>` and
`register_component_with_descriptor`. These differ from `init_component`
in that they provide mutable access to the created `ComponentInfo` but
will panic if the component is already in any archetypes. These
restrictions serve two purposes:
1. Prevent users from defining hooks for components that may already
have associated hooks provided in another plugin. (a use case better
served by observers)
2. Ensure that when an `Archetype` is created it gets the appropriate
flags to early-out when triggering hooks.
- Add methods to `ComponentInfo`: `on_add`, `on_insert` and `on_remove`
to be used to register hooks of the form `fn(DeferredWorld, Entity,
ComponentId)`
- Modify `BundleInserter`, `BundleSpawner` and `EntityWorldMut` to
trigger component hooks when appropriate.
- Add bit flags to `Archetype` indicating whether or not any contained
components have each type of hook, this can be expanded for other flags
as needed.
- Add `component_hooks` example to illustrate usage. Try it out! It's
fun to mash keys.
## Safety
The changes to component insertion, removal and deletion involve a large
amount of unsafe code and it's fair for that to raise some concern. I
have attempted to document it as clearly as possible and have confirmed
that all the hooks examples are accepted by `cargo miri` as not causing
any undefined behavior. The largest issue is in ensuring there are no
outstanding references when passing a `DeferredWorld` to the hooks which
requires some use of raw pointers (as was already happening to some
degree in those places) and I have taken some time to ensure that is the
case but feel free to let me know if I've missed anything.
## Performance
These changes come with a small but measurable performance cost of
between 1-5% on `add_remove` benchmarks and between 1-3% on `insert`
benchmarks. One consideration to be made is the existence of the current
`RemovedComponents` which is on average more costly than the addition of
`on_remove` hooks due to the early-out, however hooks doesn't completely
remove the need for `RemovedComponents` as there is a chance you want to
respond to the removal of a component that already has an `on_remove`
hook defined in another plugin, so I have not removed it here. I do
intend to deprecate it with the introduction of observers in a follow up
PR.
## Discussion Questions
- Currently `DeferredWorld` implements `Deref` to `&World` which makes
sense conceptually, however it does cause some issues with rust-analyzer
providing autocomplete for `&mut World` references which is annoying.
There are alternative implementations that may address this but involve
more code churn so I have attempted them here. The other alternative is
to not implement `Deref` at all but that leads to a large amount of API
duplication.
- `DeferredWorld`, `StaticWorld`, something else?
- In adding support for hooks to `EntityWorldMut` I encountered some
unfortunate difficulties with my desired API. If commands are flushed
after each call i.e. `world.spawn() // flush commands .insert(A) //
flush commands` the entity may be despawned while `EntityWorldMut` still
exists which is invalid. An alternative was then to add
`self.world.flush_commands()` to the drop implementation for
`EntityWorldMut` but that runs into other problems for implementing
functions like `into_unsafe_entity_cell`. For now I have implemented a
`.flush()` which will flush the commands and consume `EntityWorldMut` or
users can manually run `world.flush_commands()` after using
`EntityWorldMut`.
- In order to allowing querying on a deferred world we need
implementations of `WorldQuery` to not break our guarantees of no
structural changes through their `UnsafeWorldCell`. All our
implementations do this, but there isn't currently any safety
documentation specifying what is or isn't allowed for an implementation,
just for the caller, (they also shouldn't be aliasing components they
didn't specify access for etc.) is that something we should start doing?
(see 10752)
Please check out the example `component_hooks` or the tests in
`bundle.rs` for usage examples. I will continue to expand this
description as I go.
See #10839 for a more ergonomic API built on top of this one that isn't
subject to the same restrictions and supports `SystemParam` dependency
injection.
# Objective
- A tiny nit I noticed; I think the type of these function is
`EntityCommand`, not `Command`
Co-authored-by: Charles Bournhonesque <cbournhonesque@snapchat.com>
# Objective
There's a repeating pattern of `ThreadLocal<Cell<Vec<T>>>` which is very
useful for low overhead, low contention multithreaded queues that have
cropped up in a few places in the engine. This pattern is surprisingly
useful when building deferred mutation across multiple threads, as noted
by it's use in `ParallelCommands`.
However, `ThreadLocal<Cell<Vec<T>>>` is not only a mouthful, it's also
hard to ensure the thread-local queue is replaced after it's been
temporarily removed from the `Cell`.
## Solution
Wrap the pattern into `bevy_utils::Parallel<T>` which codifies the
entire pattern and ensures the user follows the contract. Instead of
fetching indivdual cells, removing the value, mutating it, and replacing
it, `Parallel::get` returns a `ParRef<'a, T>` which contains the
temporarily removed value and a reference back to the cell, and will
write the mutated value back to the cell upon being dropped.
I would like to use this to simplify the remaining part of #4899 that
has not been adopted/merged.

# Objective
When applying a command, we currently use double indirection for the
world reference `&mut Option<&mut World>`. Since this is used across a
`fn` pointer boundary, this can't get optimized away.
## Solution
Reborrow the world reference and pass `Option<&mut World>` instead.
# Objective
It would be convenient to be able to call functions with `Commands` as a
parameter without having to move your own instance of `Commands`. Since
this struct is composed entirely of references, we can easily get an
owned instance of `Commands` by shortening the lifetime.
## Solution
Add `Commands::reborrow`, `EntiyCommands::reborrow`, and
`Deferred::reborrow`, which returns an owned version of themselves with
a shorter lifetime.
Remove unnecessary lifetimes from `EntityCommands`. The `'w` and `'s`
lifetimes only have to be separate for `Commands` because it's used as a
`SystemParam` -- this is not the case for `EntityCommands`.
---
## Changelog
Added `Commands::reborrow`. This is useful if you have `&mut Commands`
but need `Commands`. Also added `EntityCommands::reborrow` and
`Deferred:reborrow` which serve the same purpose.
## Migration Guide
The lifetimes for `EntityCommands` have been simplified.
```rust
// Before (Bevy 0.12)
struct MyStruct<'w, 's, 'a> {
commands: EntityCommands<'w, 's, 'a>,
}
// After (Bevy 0.13)
struct MyStruct<'a> {
commands: EntityCommands<'a>,
}
```
The method `EntityCommands::commands` now returns `Commands` rather than
`&mut Commands`.
```rust
// Before (Bevy 0.12)
let commands = entity_commands.commands();
commands.spawn(...);
// After (Bevy 0.13)
let mut commands = entity_commands.commands();
commands.spawn(...);
```
# Objective
In #9604 we removed the ability to define an `EntityCommand` as
`fn(Entity, &mut World)`. However I have since realized that `fn(Entity,
&mut World)` is an incredibly expressive and powerful way to define a
command for an entity that may or may not exist (`fn(EntityWorldMut)`
only works on entities that are alive).
## Solution
Support `EntityCommand`s in the style of `fn(Entity, &mut World)`, as
well as `fn(EntityWorldMut)`. Use a marker generic on the
`EntityCommand` trait to allow multiple impls.
The second commit in this PR replaces all of the internal command
definitions with ones using `fn` definitions. This is mostly just to
show off how expressive this style of command is -- we can revert this
commit if we'd rather avoid breaking changes.
---
## Changelog
Re-added support for expressively defining an `EntityCommand` as a
function that takes `Entity, &mut World`.
## Migration Guide
All `Command` types in `bevy_ecs`, such as `Spawn`, `SpawnBatch`,
`Insert`, etc., have been made private. Use the equivalent methods on
`Commands` or `EntityCommands` instead.
# Objective
The `Despawn` command breaks the hierarchy whenever you use it if the
despawned entity has a parent or any children. This is a serious footgun
because the `Despawn` command has the shortest name, the behavior is
unexpected and not likely to be what you want, and the crash that it
causes can be very difficult to track down.
## Solution
Until this can be fixed by relations, add a note mentioning the footgun
in the documentation.
## Solution
`Commands.remove` and `.retain` (because I copied `remove`s doc)
referenced `EntityWorldMut.remove` and `retain` for more detail but the
`Commands` docs are much more detailed (which makes sense because it is
the most common api), so I have instead inverted this so that
`EntityWorldMut` docs link to `Commands`.
I also made `EntityWorldMut.despawn` reference `World.despawn` for more
details, like `Commands.despawn` does.
# Objective
Adds `EntityCommands.retain` and `EntityWorldMut.retain` to remove all
components except the given bundle from the entity.
Fixes#10865.
## Solution
I added a private unsafe function in `EntityWorldMut` called
`remove_bundle_info` which performs the shared behaviour of `remove` and
`retain`, namely taking a `BundleInfo` of components to remove, and
removing them from the given entity. Then `retain` simply gets all the
components on the entity and filters them by whether they are in the
bundle it was passed, before passing this `BundleInfo` into
`remove_bundle_info`.
`EntityCommands.retain` just creates a new type `Retain` which runs
`EntityWorldMut.retain` when run.
---
## Changelog
Added `EntityCommands.retain` and `EntityWorldMut.retain`, which remove
all components except the given bundle from the entity, they can also be
used to remove all components by passing `()` as the bundle.
# Objective
- Shorten paths by removing unnecessary prefixes
## Solution
- Remove the prefixes from many paths which do not need them. Finding
the paths was done automatically using built-in refactoring tools in
Jetbrains RustRover.
# Objective
- Fixes#10676, preventing a possible memory leak for commands which
owned resources.
## Solution
Implemented `Drop` for `CommandQueue`. This has been done entirely in
the private API of `CommandQueue`, ensuring no breaking changes. Also
added a unit test, `test_command_queue_inner_drop_early`, based on the
reproduction steps as outlined in #10676.
## Notes
I believe this can be applied to `0.12.1` as well, but I am uncertain of
the process to make that kind of change. Please let me know if there's
anything I can do to help with the back-porting of this change.

# Objective
- I've been experimenting with different patterns to try and make async
tasks more convenient. One of the better ones I've found is to return a
command queue to allow for deferred &mut World access. It can be
convenient to check for task completion in a normal system, but it is
hard to do something with the command queue after getting it back. This
pr adds a `append` to Commands. This allows appending the returned
command queue onto the system's commands.
## Solution
- I edited the async compute example to use the new `append`, but not
sure if I should keep the example changed as this might be too
opinionated.
## Future Work
- It would be very easy to pull the pattern used in the example out into
a plugin or a external crate, so users wouldn't have to add the checking
system.
---
## Changelog
- add `append` to `Commands` and `CommandQueue`
# Objective
Allows chained systems taking an `In<_>` input parameter to be run as
one-shot systems. This API was mentioned in #8963.
In addition, `run_system(_with_input)` returns the system output, for
any `'static` output type.
## Solution
A new function, `World::run_system_with_input` allows a `SystemId<I, O>`
to be run by providing an `I` value as input and producing `O` as an
output.
`SystemId<I, O>` is now generic over the input type `I` and output type
`O`, along with the related functions and types `RegisteredSystem`,
`RemovedSystem`, `register_system`, `remove_system`, and
`RegisteredSystemError`. These default to `()`, preserving the existing
API, for all of the public types.
---
## Changelog
- Added `World::run_system_with_input` function to allow one-shot
systems that take `In<_>` input parameters
- Changed `World::run_system` and `World::register_system` to support
systems with return types beyond `()`
- Added `Commands::run_system_with_input` command that schedules a
one-shot system with an `In<_>` input parameter
# Objective
- `CommandQueue::apply` calculates the address of the end of the
internal buffer as a `usize` rather than as a pointer, requiring two
casts of `cursor` to `usize`. Casting pointers to integers is generally
discouraged and may also prevent optimizations. It's also unnecessary
here.
## Solution
- Calculate the end address as a pointer rather than a `usize`.
Small note:
A trivial translation of the old code to use pointers would have
computed `end_addr` as `cursor.add(self.bytes.len())`, which is not
wrong but is an additional `unsafe` operation that also needs to be
properly documented and proven correct. However this operation is
already implemented in the form of the safe `as_mut_ptr_range`, so I
just used that.
# Objective
- I spoke with some users in the ECS channel of bevy discord today and
they suggested that I implement a fallible form of .insert for
components.
- In my opinion, it would be nice to have a fallible .insert like
.try_insert (or to just make insert be fallible!) because it was causing
a lot of panics in my game. In my game, I am spawning terrain chunks and
despawning them in the Update loop. However, this was causing bevy_xpbd
to panic because it was trying to .insert some physics components on my
chunks and a race condition meant that its check to see if the entity
exists would pass but then the next execution step it would not exist
and would do an .insert and then panic. This means that there is no way
to avoid a panic with conditionals.
Luckily, bevy_xpbd does not care about inserting these components if the
entity is being deleted and so if there were a .try_insert, like this PR
provides it could use that instead in order to NOT panic.
( My interim solution for my own game has been to run the entity despawn
events in the Last schedule but really this is just a hack and I should
not be expected to manage the scheduling of despawns like this - it
should just be easy and simple. IF it just so happened that bevy_xpbd
ran .inserts in the Last schedule also, this would be an untenable soln
overall )
## Solution
- Describe the solution used to achieve the objective above.
Add a new command named TryInsert (entitycommands.try_insert) which
functions exactly like .insert except if the entity does not exist it
will not panic. Instead, it will log to info. This way, crates that are
attaching components in ways which they do not mind that the entity no
longer exists can just use try_insert instead of insert.
---
## Changelog
## Additional Thoughts
In my opinion, NOT panicing should really be the default and having an
.insert that does panic should be the odd edgecase but removing the
panic! from .insert seems a bit above my paygrade -- although i would
love to see it. My other thought is it would be good for .insert to
return an Option AND not panic but it seems it uses an event bus right
now so that seems to be impossible w the current architecture.
I'm adopting this ~~child~~ PR.
# Objective
- Working with exclusive world access is not always easy: in many cases,
a standard system or three is more ergonomic to write, and more
modularly maintainable.
- For small, one-off tasks (commonly handled with scripting), running an
event-reader system incurs a small but flat overhead cost and muddies
the schedule.
- Certain forms of logic (e.g. turn-based games) want very fine-grained
linear and/or branching control over logic.
- SystemState is not automatically cached, and so performance can suffer
and change detection breaks.
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/2192.
- Partial workaround for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/279.
## Solution
- Adds a SystemRegistry resource to the World, which stores initialized
systems keyed by their SystemSet.
- Allows users to call world.run_system(my_system) and
commands.run_system(my_system), without re-initializing or losing state
(essential for change detection).
- Add a Callback type to enable convenient use of dynamic one shot
systems and reduce the mental overhead of working with Box<dyn
SystemSet>.
- Allow users to run systems based on their SystemSet, enabling more
complex user-made abstractions.
## Future work
- Parameterized one-shot systems would improve reusability and bring
them closer to events and commands. The API could be something like
run_system_with_input(my_system, my_input) and use the In SystemParam.
- We should evaluate the unification of commands and one-shot systems
since they are two different ways to run logic on demand over a World.

# Objective
Fix#4278Fix#5504Fix#9422
Provide safe ways to borrow an entire entity, while allowing disjoint
mutable access. `EntityRef` and `EntityMut` are not suitable for this,
since they provide access to the entire world -- they are just helper
types for working with `&World`/`&mut World`.
This has potential uses for reflection and serialization
## Solution
Remove `EntityRef::world`, which allows it to soundly be used within
queries.
`EntityMut` no longer supports structural world mutations, which allows
multiple instances of it to exist for different entities at once.
Structural world mutations are performed using the new type
`EntityWorldMut`.
```rust
fn disjoint_system(
q2: Query<&mut A>,
q1: Query<EntityMut, Without<A>>,
) { ... }
let [entity1, entity2] = world.many_entities_mut([id1, id2]);
*entity1.get_mut::<T>().unwrap() = *entity2.get().unwrap();
for entity in world.iter_entities_mut() {
...
}
```
---
## Changelog
- Removed `EntityRef::world`, to fix a soundness issue with queries.
+ Removed the ability to structurally mutate the world using
`EntityMut`, which allows it to be used in queries.
+ Added `EntityWorldMut`, which is used to perform structural mutations
that are no longer allowed using `EntityMut`.
## Migration Guide
**Note for maintainers: ensure that the guide for #9604 is updated
accordingly.**
Removed the method `EntityRef::world`, to fix a soundness issue with
queries. If you need access to `&World` while using an `EntityRef`,
consider passing the world as a separate parameter.
`EntityMut` can no longer perform 'structural' world mutations, such as
adding or removing components, or despawning the entity. Additionally,
`EntityMut::world`, `EntityMut::world_mut` , and
`EntityMut::world_scope` have been removed.
Instead, use the newly-added type `EntityWorldMut`, which is a helper
type for working with `&mut World`.

# Objective
- Move schedule name into `Schedule` to allow the schedule name to be
used for errors and tracing in Schedule methods
- Fixes#9510
## Solution
- Move label onto `Schedule` and adjust api's on `World` and `Schedule`
to not pass explicit label where it makes sense to.
- add name to errors and tracing.
- `Schedule::new` now takes a label so either add the label or use
`Schedule::default` which uses a default label. `default` is mostly used
in doc examples and tests.
---
## Changelog
- move label onto `Schedule` to improve error message and logging for
schedules.
## Migration Guide
`Schedule::new` and `App::add_schedule`
```rust
// old
let schedule = Schedule::new();
app.add_schedule(MyLabel, schedule);
// new
let schedule = Schedule::new(MyLabel);
app.add_schedule(schedule);
```
if you aren't using a label and are using the schedule struct directly
you can use the default constructor.
```rust
// old
let schedule = Schedule::new();
schedule.run(world);
// new
let schedule = Schedule::default();
schedule.run(world);
```
`Schedules:insert`
```rust
// old
let schedule = Schedule::new();
schedules.insert(MyLabel, schedule);
// new
let schedule = Schedule::new(MyLabel);
schedules.insert(schedule);
```
`World::add_schedule`
```rust
// old
let schedule = Schedule::new();
world.add_schedule(MyLabel, schedule);
// new
let schedule = Schedule::new(MyLabel);
world.add_schedule(schedule);
```
# Objective
To enable non exclusive system usage of reflected components and make
reflection more ergonomic to use by making it more in line with standard
entity commands.
## Solution
- Implements a new `EntityCommands` extension trait for reflection
related functions in the reflect module of bevy_ecs.
- Implements 4 new commands, `insert_reflect`,
`insert_reflect_with_registry`, `remove_reflect`, and
`remove_reflect_with_registry`. Both insert commands take a `Box<dyn
Reflect>` component while the remove commands take the component type
name.
- Made `EntityCommands` fields pub(crate) to allow access in the reflect
module. (Might be worth making these just public to enable user end
custom entity commands in a different pr)
- Added basic tests to ensure the commands are actually working.
- Documentation of functions.
---
## Changelog
Added:
- Implements 4 new commands on the new entity commands extension.
- `insert_reflect`
- `remove_reflect`
- `insert_reflect_with_registry`
- `remove_reflect_with_registry`
The commands operate the same except the with_registry commands take a
generic parameter for a resource that implements `AsRef<TypeRegistry>`.
Otherwise the default commands use the `AppTypeRegistry` for reflection
data.
Changed:
- Made `EntityCommands` fields pub(crate) to allow access in the reflect
module.
> Hopefully this time it works. Please don't make me rebase again ☹
# Objective
- Fixes#4917
- Replaces #9602
## Solution
- Replaced `EntityCommand` implementation for `FnOnce` to apply to
`FnOnce(EntityMut)` instead of `FnOnce(Entity, &mut World)`
---
## Changelog
- `FnOnce(Entity, &mut World)` no longer implements `EntityCommand`.
This is a breaking change.
## Migration Guide
### 1. New-Type `FnOnce`
Create an `EntityCommand` type which implements the method you
previously wrote:
```rust
pub struct ClassicEntityCommand<F>(pub F);
impl<F> EntityCommand for ClassicEntityCommand<F>
where
F: FnOnce(Entity, &mut World) + Send + 'static,
{
fn apply(self, id: Entity, world: &mut World) {
(self.0)(id, world);
}
}
commands.add(ClassicEntityCommand(|id: Entity, world: &mut World| {
/* ... */
}));
```
### 2. Extract `(Entity, &mut World)` from `EntityMut`
The method `into_world_mut` can be used to gain access to the `World`
from an `EntityMut`.
```rust
let old = |id: Entity, world: &mut World| {
/* ... */
};
let new = |mut entity: EntityMut| {
let id = entity.id();
let world = entity.into_world_mut();
/* ... */
};
```
# Objective
`World::entity`, `World::entity_mut` and `Commands::entity` should be
marked with `track_caller` to display where (in user code) the call with
the invalid `Entity` was made. `Commands::entity` already has the
attibute, but it does nothing due to the call to `unwrap_or_else`.
## Solution
- Apply the `track_caller` attribute to the `World::entity_mut` and
`World::entity`.
- Remove the call to `unwrap_or_else` which makes the `track_caller`
attribute useless (because `unwrap_or_else` is not `track_caller`
itself). The avoid eager evaluation of the panicking branch it is never
inlined.

# Objective
- Fixes#8811 .
## Solution
- Rename "write" method to "apply" in Command trait definition.
- Rename other implementations of command trait throughout bevy's code
base.
---
## Changelog
- Changed: `Command::write` has been changed to `Command::apply`
- Changed: `EntityCommand::write` has been changed to
`EntityCommand::apply`
## Migration Guide
- `Command::write` implementations need to be changed to implement
`Command::apply` instead. This is a mere name change, with no further
actions needed.

# Objective
- `apply_system_buffers` is an unhelpful name: it introduces a new
internal-only concept
- this is particularly rough for beginners as reasoning about how
commands work is a critical stumbling block
## Solution
- rename `apply_system_buffers` to the more descriptive `apply_deferred`
- rename related fields, arguments and methods in the internals fo
bevy_ecs for consistency
- update the docs
## Changelog
`apply_system_buffers` has been renamed to `apply_deferred`, to more
clearly communicate its intent and relation to `Deferred` system
parameters like `Commands`.
## Migration Guide
- `apply_system_buffers` has been renamed to `apply_deferred`
- the `apply_system_buffers` method on the `System` trait has been
renamed to `apply_deferred`
- the `is_apply_system_buffers` function has been replaced by
`is_apply_deferred`
- `Executor::set_apply_final_buffers` is now
`Executor::set_apply_final_deferred`
- `Schedule::apply_system_buffers` is now `Schedule::apply_deferred`
