reflect: implement the unique reflect rfc (#7207)
# Objective
- Implements the [Unique Reflect
RFC](https://github.com/nicopap/rfcs/blob/bevy-reflect-api/rfcs/56-better-reflect.md).
## Solution
- Implements the RFC.
- This implementation differs in some ways from the RFC:
- In the RFC, it was suggested `Reflect: Any` but `PartialReflect:
?Any`. During initial implementation I tried this, but we assume the
`PartialReflect: 'static` in a lot of places and the changes required
crept out of the scope of this PR.
- `PartialReflect::try_into_reflect` originally returned `Option<Box<dyn
Reflect>>` but i changed this to `Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, Box<dyn
PartialReflect>>` since the method takes by value and otherwise there
would be no way to recover the type. `as_full` and `as_full_mut` both
still return `Option<&(mut) dyn Reflect>`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `PartialReflect`.
- `Reflect` is now a subtrait of `PartialReflect`.
- Moved most methods on `Reflect` to the new `PartialReflect`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect}`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}`.
- Added `<dyn PartialReflect>::{try_downcast_ref, try_downcast_mut,
try_downcast, try_take}` supplementing the methods on `dyn Reflect`.
## Migration Guide
- Most instances of `dyn Reflect` should be changed to `dyn
PartialReflect` which is less restrictive, however trait bounds should
generally stay as `T: Reflect`.
- The new `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect, try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}` methods as well as `Reflect::{as_reflect,
as_reflect_mut, into_reflect}` will need to be implemented for manual
implementors of `Reflect`.
## Future Work
- This PR is designed to be followed up by another "Unique Reflect Phase
2" that addresses the following points:
- Investigate making serialization revolve around `Reflect` instead of
`PartialReflect`.
- [Remove the `try_*` methods on `dyn PartialReflect` since they are
stop
gaps](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7207#discussion_r1083476050).
- Investigate usages like `ReflectComponent`. In the places they
currently use `PartialReflect`, should they be changed to use `Reflect`?
- Merging this opens the door to lots of reflection features we haven't
been able to implement.
- We could re-add [the `Reflectable`
trait](

bevy_reflect: Adding support for Atomic values (#14419)
Fixes #14418 Note that this does not add AtomicPtr, which would need its own special casing support, just the regular value types. Also, I was forced to be opinionated about which Ordering to use, so I chose SeqCst as the strictest by default. |

Dedicated Reflect implementation for Set -like things (#13014)
# Objective I just wanted to inspect `HashSet`s in `bevy-inspector-egui` but I noticed that it didn't work for some reason. A few minutes later I found myself looking into the bevy reflect impls noticing that `HashSet`s have been covered only rudimentary up until now. ## Solution I'm not sure if this is overkill (especially the first bullet), but here's a list of the changes: - created a whole new trait and enum variants for `ReflectRef` and the like called `Set` - mostly oriented myself at the `Map` trait and made the necessary changes until RA was happy - create macro `impl_reflect_for_hashset!` and call it on `std::HashSet` and `hashbrown::HashSet` Extra notes: - no `get_mut` or `get_mut_at` mirroring the `std::HashSet` - `insert[_boxed]` and `remove` return `bool` mirroring `std::HashSet`, additionally that bool is reflect as I thought that would be how we handle things in bevy reflect, but I'm not sure on this - ser/de are handled via `SeqAccess` - I'm not sure about the general deduplication property of this impl of `Set` that is generally expected? I'm also not sure yet if `Map` does provide this. This mainly refers to the `Dynamic[...]` structs - I'm not sure if there are other methods missing from the `trait`, I felt like `contains` or the set-operations (union/diff/...) could've been helpful, but I wanted to get out the bare minimum for feedback first --- ## Changelog ### Added - `Set` trait for `bevy_reflect` ### Changed - `std::collections::HashSet` and `bevy_utils::hashbrown::HashSet` now implement a more complete set of reflect functionalities instead of "just" `reflect_value` - `TypeInfo` contains a new variant `Set` that contains `SetInfo` - `ReflectKind` contains a new variant `Set` - `ReflectRef` contains a new variant `Set` - `ReflectMut` contains a new variant `Set` - `ReflectOwned` contains a new variant `Set` ## Migration Guide - The new `Set` variants on the enums listed in the change section should probably be considered by people working with this level of the lib ### Help wanted! I'm not sure if this change is able to break code. From my understanding it shouldn't since we just add functionality but I'm not sure yet if theres anything missing from my impl that would be normally provided by `impl_reflect_value!` |

bevy_reflect: Nested TypeInfo getters (#13321)
# Objective Right now, `TypeInfo` can be accessed directly from a type using either `Typed::type_info` or `Reflect::get_represented_type_info`. However, once that `TypeInfo` is accessed, any nested types must be accessed via the `TypeRegistry`. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo { bar: usize } let registry = TypeRegistry::default(); let TypeInfo::Struct(type_info) = Foo::type_info() else { panic!("expected struct info"); }; let field = type_info.field("bar").unwrap(); let field_info = registry.get_type_info(field.type_id()).unwrap(); assert!(field_info.is::<usize>());; ``` ## Solution Enable nested types within a `TypeInfo` to be retrieved directly. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo { bar: usize } let TypeInfo::Struct(type_info) = Foo::type_info() else { panic!("expected struct info"); }; let field = type_info.field("bar").unwrap(); let field_info = field.type_info().unwrap(); assert!(field_info.is::<usize>());; ``` The particular implementation was chosen for two reasons. Firstly, we can't just store `TypeInfo` inside another `TypeInfo` directly. This is because some types are recursive and would result in a deadlock when trying to create the `TypeInfo` (i.e. it has to create the `TypeInfo` before it can use it, but it also needs the `TypeInfo` before it can create it). Therefore, we must instead store the function so it can be retrieved lazily. I had considered also using a `OnceLock` or something to lazily cache the info, but I figured we can look into optimizations later. The API should remain the same with or without the `OnceLock`. Secondly, a new wrapper trait had to be introduced: `MaybeTyped`. Like `RegisterForReflection`, this trait is `#[doc(hidden)]` and only exists so that we can properly handle dynamic type fields without requiring them to implement `Typed`. We don't want dynamic types to implement `Typed` due to the fact that it would make the return type `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` for all types even though only the dynamic types ever need to return `None` (see #6971 for details). Users should never have to interact with this trait as it has a blanket impl for all `Typed` types. And `Typed` is automatically implemented when deriving `Reflect` (as it is required). The one downside is we do need to return `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` from all these new methods so that we can handle the dynamic cases. If we didn't have to, we'd be able to get rid of the `Option` entirely. But I think that's an okay tradeoff for this one part of the API, and keeps the other APIs intact. ## Testing This PR contains tests to verify everything works as expected. You can test locally by running: ``` cargo test --package bevy_reflect ``` --- ## Changelog ### Public Changes - Added `ArrayInfo::item_info` method - Added `NamedField::type_info` method - Added `UnnamedField::type_info` method - Added `ListInfo::item_info` method - Added `MapInfo::key_info` method - Added `MapInfo::value_info` method - All active fields now have a `Typed` bound (remember that this is automatically satisfied for all types that derive `Reflect`) ### Internal Changes - Added `MaybeTyped` trait ## Migration Guide All active fields for reflected types (including lists, maps, tuples, etc.), must implement `Typed`. For the majority of users this won't have any visible impact. However, users implementing `Reflect` manually may need to update their types to implement `Typed` if they weren't already. Additionally, custom dynamic types will need to implement the new hidden `MaybeTyped` trait. |

bevy_reflect: Feature-gate function reflection (#14174)
# Objective Function reflection requires a lot of macro code generation in the form of several `all_tuples!` invocations, as well as impls generated in the `Reflect` derive macro. Seeing as function reflection is currently a bit more niche, it makes sense to gate it all behind a feature. ## Solution Add a `functions` feature to `bevy_reflect`, which can be enabled in Bevy using the `reflect_functions` feature. ## Testing You can test locally by running: ``` cargo test --package bevy_reflect ``` That should ensure that everything still works with the feature disabled. To test with the feature on, you can run: ``` cargo test --package bevy_reflect --features functions ``` --- ## Changelog - Moved function reflection behind a Cargo feature (`bevy/reflect_functions` and `bevy_reflect/functions`) - Add `IntoFunction` export in `bevy_reflect::prelude` ## Internal Migration Guide > [!important] > Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14. Function reflection is now gated behind a feature. To use function reflection, enable the feature: - If using `bevy_reflect` directly, enable the `functions` feature - If using `bevy`, enable the `reflect_functions` feature |

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:

Implement Reflect for Result<T, E> as enum (#13182)
# Objective - Make `Result<T, E>` implement Reflect such that it is an Enum rather than a Value - Fixes #13178 ## Solution - Use the correct macro ## Testing - Did you test these changes? I tried it out locally, and it does what it says on the tin. Not sure how to test it in context of the crate? --- ## Changelog ### Changed - Result now uses `ReflectKind::Enum` rather than `ReflectKind::Value`, allowing for inspection of its constituents ## Migration Guide `Result<T, E>` has had its `Reflect` implementation changed to align it with `Option<T>` and its intended semantics: A carrier of either an `Ok` or `Err` value, and the ability to access it. To achieve this it is no longer a `ReflectKind::Value` but rather a `ReflectKind::Enum` and as such carries these changes with it: For `Result<T, E>` - Both `T` and `E` no longer require to be `Clone` and now require to be `FromReflect` - `<Result<T, E> as Reflect>::reflect_*` now returns a `ReflectKind::Enum`, so any code that previously relied on it being a `Value` kind will have to be adapted. - `Result<T, E>` now implements `Enum` Since the migration is highly dependent on the previous usage, no automatic upgrade path can be given.

impl Reflect for EntityHashSet (#12971)
`EntityHashSet` doesn't seem to implement `Reflect` which seems weird! Especially since `EntityHashMap` implements `Reflect`. This PR just added an extra `impl_reflect_value!` for `EntityHashSet` and this seems to do the trick. I left out doing the same for `StableHashSet` since it's marked as deprecated. --- I'm really wondering what was the issue here. If anyone can explain why `EntityHashSet` can't use the `Reflect` impl of `bevy_utils::HashSet` similar to how it's the case with the `...HashMap`s I'd be interested! |

Meshing for Annulus primitive (#12734)
# Objective Related to #10572 Allow the `Annulus` primitive to be meshed. ## Solution We introduce a `Meshable` structure, `AnnulusMeshBuilder`, which allows the `Annulus` primitive to be meshed, leaving optional configuration of the number of angular sudivisions to the user. Here is a picture of the annulus's UV-mapping: <img width="1440" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 10 39 48 AM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/b170291d-cba7-441b-90ee-2ad6841eaedb"> Other features are essentially identical to the implementations for `Circle`/`Ellipse`. --- ## Changelog - Introduced `AnnulusMeshBuilder` - Implemented `Meshable` for `Annulus` with `Output = AnnulusMeshBuilder` - Implemented `From<Annulus>` and `From<AnnulusMeshBuilder>` for `Mesh` - Added `impl_reflect!` declaration for `Annulus` and `Triangle3d` in `bevy_reflect` --- ## Discussion ### Design considerations The only interesting wrinkle here is that the existing UV-mapping of `Ellipse` (and hence of `Circle` and `RegularPolygon`) is non-radial (it's skew-free, created by situating the mesh in a bounding rectangle), so the UV-mapping of `Annulus` doesn't limit to that of `Circle` as its inner radius tends to zero, for instance. I don't see this as a real issue for `Annulus`, which should almost certainly have this kind of UV-mapping, but I think we ought to at least consider allowing mesh configuration for `Circle`/`Ellipse` that performs radial UV-mapping instead. (In these cases in particular, it would be especially easy, since we wouldn't need a different parameter set in the builder.) --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> |

Add Rotation2d (#11658)
# Objective Rotating vectors is a very common task. It is required for a variety of things both within Bevy itself and in many third party plugins, for example all over physics and collision detection, and for things like Bevy's bounding volumes and several gizmo implementations. For 3D, we can do this using a `Quat`, but for 2D, we do not have a clear and efficient option. `Mat2` can be used for rotating vectors if created using `Mat2::from_angle`, but this is not obvious to many users, it doesn't have many rotation helpers, and the type does not give any guarantees that it represents a valid rotation. We should have a proper type for 2D rotations. In addition to allowing for potential optimization, it would allow us to have a consistent and explicitly documented representation used throughout the engine, i.e. counterclockwise and in radians. ## Representation The mathematical formula for rotating a 2D vector is the following: ``` new_x = x * cos - y * sin new_y = x * sin + y * cos ``` Here, `sin` and `cos` are the sine and cosine of the rotation angle. Computing these every time when a vector needs to be rotated can be expensive, so the rotation shouldn't be just an `f32` angle. Instead, it is often more efficient to represent the rotation using the sine and cosine of the angle instead of storing the angle itself. This can be freely passed around and reused without unnecessary computations. The two options are either a 2x2 rotation matrix or a unit complex number where the cosine is the real part and the sine is the imaginary part. These are equivalent for the most part, but the unit complex representation is a bit more memory efficient (two `f32`s instead of four), so I chose that. This is like Nalgebra's [`UnitComplex`](https://docs.rs/nalgebra/latest/nalgebra/geometry/type.UnitComplex.html) type, which can be used for the [`Rotation2`](https://docs.rs/nalgebra/latest/nalgebra/geometry/type.Rotation2.html) type. ## Implementation Add a `Rotation2d` type represented as a unit complex number: ```rust /// A counterclockwise 2D rotation in radians. /// /// The rotation angle is wrapped to be within the `]-pi, pi]` range. pub struct Rotation2d { /// The cosine of the rotation angle in radians. /// /// This is the real part of the unit complex number representing the rotation. pub cos: f32, /// The sine of the rotation angle in radians. /// /// This is the imaginary part of the unit complex number representing the rotation. pub sin: f32, } ``` Using it is similar to using `Quat`, but in 2D: ```rust let rotation = Rotation2d::radians(PI / 2.0); // Rotate vector (also works on Direction2d!) assert_eq!(rotation * Vec2::X, Vec2::Y); // Get angle as degrees assert_eq!(rotation.as_degrees(), 90.0); // Getting sin and cos is free let (sin, cos) = rotation.sin_cos(); // "Subtract" rotations let rotation2 = Rotation2d::FRAC_PI_4; // there are constants! let diff = rotation * rotation2.inverse(); assert_eq!(diff.as_radians(), PI / 4.0); // This is equivalent to the above assert_eq!(rotation2.angle_between(rotation), PI / 4.0); // Lerp let rotation1 = Rotation2d::IDENTITY; let rotation2 = Rotation2d::FRAC_PI_2; let result = rotation1.lerp(rotation2, 0.5); assert_eq!(result.as_radians(), std::f32::consts::FRAC_PI_4); // Slerp let rotation1 = Rotation2d::FRAC_PI_4); let rotation2 = Rotation2d::degrees(-180.0); // we can use degrees too! let result = rotation1.slerp(rotation2, 1.0 / 3.0); assert_eq!(result.as_radians(), std::f32::consts::FRAC_PI_2); ``` There's also a `From<f32>` implementation for `Rotation2d`, which means that methods can still accept radians as floats if the argument uses `impl Into<Rotation2d>`. This means that adding `Rotation2d` shouldn't even be a breaking change. --- ## Changelog - Added `Rotation2d` - Bounding volume methods now take an `impl Into<Rotation2d>` - Gizmo methods with rotation now take an `impl Into<Rotation2d>` ## Future use cases - Collision detection (a type like this is quite essential considering how common vector rotations are) - `Transform` helpers (e.g. return a 2D rotation about the Z axis from a `Transform`) - The rotation used for `Transform2d` (#8268) - More gizmos, maybe meshes... everything in 2D that uses rotation --------- Co-authored-by: Tristan Guichaoua <33934311+tguichaoua@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Robert Walter <robwalter96@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: IQuick 143 <IQuick143cz@gmail.com> |

Implement the AnimationGraph , allowing for multiple animations to be blended together. (#11989)
This is an implementation of RFC #51: https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/51-animation-composition.md Note that the implementation strategy is different from the one outlined in that RFC, because two-phase animation has now landed. # Objective Bevy needs animation blending. The RFC for this is [RFC 51]. ## Solution This is an implementation of the RFC. Note that the implementation strategy is different from the one outlined there, because two-phase animation has now landed. This is just a draft to get the conversation started. Currently we're missing a few things: - [x] A fully-fleshed-out mechanism for transitions - [x] A serialization format for `AnimationGraph`s - [x] Examples are broken, other than `animated_fox` - [x] Documentation --- ## Changelog ### Added * The `AnimationPlayer` has been reworked to support blending multiple animations together through an `AnimationGraph`, and as such will no longer function unless a `Handle<AnimationGraph>` has been added to the entity containing the player. See [RFC 51] for more details. * Transition functionality has moved from the `AnimationPlayer` to a new component, `AnimationTransitions`, which works in tandem with the `AnimationGraph`. ## Migration Guide * `AnimationPlayer`s can no longer play animations by themselves and need to be paired with a `Handle<AnimationGraph>`. Code that was using `AnimationPlayer` to play animations will need to create an `AnimationGraph` asset first, add a node for the clip (or clips) you want to play, and then supply the index of that node to the `AnimationPlayer`'s `play` method. * The `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()` method has been removed and replaced with the `AnimationTransitions` component. If you were previously using `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()`, add all animations that you were playing to the `AnimationGraph`, and create an `AnimationTransitions` component to manage the blending between them.

Removed: bevy_core's reexports of bytemuck. ## Migration Guide bevy_utils' reexports of petgraph, uuid, nonmax, smallvec, and thiserror have been removed. bevy_core' reexports of bytemuck's types has been removed.

bevy_reflect: Recursive registration (#5781)
# Objective Resolves #4154 Currently, registration must all be done manually: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo(Bar); #[derive(Reflect)] struct Bar(Baz); #[derive(Reflect)] struct Baz(usize); fn main() { // ... app .register_type::<Foo>() .register_type::<Bar>() .register_type::<Baz>() // .register_type::<usize>() <- This one is handled by Bevy, thankfully // ... } ``` This can grow really quickly and become very annoying to add, remove, and update as types change. It would be great if we could help reduce the number of types that a user must manually implement themselves. ## Solution As suggested in #4154, this PR adds automatic recursive registration. Essentially, when a type is registered, it may now also choose to register additional types along with it using the new `GetTypeRegistration::register_type_dependencies` trait method. The `Reflect` derive macro now automatically does this for all fields in structs, tuple structs, struct variants, and tuple variants. This is also done for tuples, arrays, `Vec<T>`, `HashMap<K, V>`, and `Option<T>`. This allows us to simplify the code above like: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo(Bar); #[derive(Reflect)] struct Bar(Baz); #[derive(Reflect)] struct Baz(usize); fn main() { // ... app.register_type::<Foo>() // ... } ``` This automatic registration only occurs if the type has not yet been registered. If it has been registered, we simply skip it and move to the next one. This reduces the cost of registration and prevents overwriting customized registrations. ## Considerations While this does improve ergonomics on one front, it's important to look at some of the arguments against adopting a PR like this. #### Generic Bounds ~~Since we need to be able to register the fields individually, we need those fields to implement `GetTypeRegistration`. This forces users to then add this trait as a bound on their generic arguments. This annoyance could be relieved with something like #5772.~~ This is no longer a major issue as the `Reflect` derive now adds the `GetTypeRegistration` bound by default. This should technically be okay, since we already add the `Reflect` bound. However, this can also be considered a breaking change for manual implementations that left out a `GetTypeRegistration` impl ~~or for items that contain dynamic types (e.g. `DynamicStruct`) since those also do not implement `GetTypeRegistration`~~. #### Registration Assumptions By automatically registering fields, users might inadvertently be relying on certain types to be automatically registered. If `Foo` auto-registers `Bar`, but `Foo` is later removed from the code, then anywhere that previously used or relied on `Bar`'s registration would now fail. --- ## Changelog - Added recursive type registration to structs, tuple structs, struct variants, tuple variants, tuples, arrays, `Vec<T>`, `HashMap<K, V>`, and `Option<T>` - Added a new trait in the hidden `bevy_reflect::__macro_exports` module called `RegisterForReflection` - Added `GetTypeRegistration` impl for `bevy_render::render_asset::RenderAssetUsages` ## Migration Guide All types that derive `Reflect` will now automatically add `GetTypeRegistration` as a bound on all (unignored) fields. This means that all reflected fields will need to also implement `GetTypeRegistration`. If all fields **derive** `Reflect` or are implemented in `bevy_reflect`, this should not cause any issues. However, manual implementations of `Reflect` that excluded a `GetTypeRegistration` impl for their type will need to add one. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo<T: FromReflect> { data: MyCustomType<T> } // OLD impl<T: FromReflect> Reflect for MyCustomType<T> {/* ... */} // NEW impl<T: FromReflect + GetTypeRegistration> Reflect for MyCustomType<T> {/* ... */} impl<T: FromReflect + GetTypeRegistration> GetTypeRegistration for MyCustomType<T> {/* ... */} ``` --------- Co-authored-by: James Liu <contact@jamessliu.com> Co-authored-by: radiish <cb.setho@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> |

Rename Direction2d/3d to Dir2/3 (#12189)
# Objective Split up from #12017, rename Bevy's direction types. Currently, Bevy has the `Direction2d`, `Direction3d`, and `Direction3dA` types, which provide a type-level guarantee that their contained vectors remain normalized. They can be very useful for a lot of APIs for safety, explicitness, and in some cases performance, as they can sometimes avoid unnecessary normalizations. However, many consider them to be inconvenient to use, and opt for standard vector types like `Vec3` because of this. One reason is that the direction type names are a bit long and can be annoying to write (of course you can use autocomplete, but just typing `Vec3` is still nicer), and in some intances, the extra characters can make formatting worse. The naming is also inconsistent with Glam's shorter type names, and results in names like `Direction3dA`, which (in my opinion) are difficult to read and even a bit ugly. This PR proposes renaming the types to `Dir2`, `Dir3`, and `Dir3A`. These names are nice and easy to write, consistent with Glam, and work well for variants like the SIMD aligned `Dir3A`. As a bonus, it can also result in nicer formatting in a lot of cases, which can be seen from the diff of this PR. Some examples of what it looks like: (copied from #12017) ```rust // Before let ray_cast = RayCast2d::new(Vec2::ZERO, Direction2d::X, 5.0); // After let ray_cast = RayCast2d::new(Vec2::ZERO, Dir2::X, 5.0); ``` ```rust // Before (an example using Bevy XPBD) let hit = spatial_query.cast_ray( Vec3::ZERO, Direction3d::X, f32::MAX, true, SpatialQueryFilter::default(), ); // After let hit = spatial_query.cast_ray( Vec3::ZERO, Dir3::X, f32::MAX, true, SpatialQueryFilter::default(), ); ``` ```rust // Before self.circle( Vec3::new(0.0, -2.0, 0.0), Direction3d::Y, 5.0, Color::TURQUOISE, ); // After (formatting is collapsed in this case) self.circle(Vec3::new(0.0, -2.0, 0.0), Dir3::Y, 5.0, Color::TURQUOISE); ``` ## Solution Rename `Direction2d`, `Direction3d`, and `Direction3dA` to `Dir2`, `Dir3`, and `Dir3A`. --- ## Migration Guide The `Direction2d` and `Direction3d` types have been renamed to `Dir2` and `Dir3`. ## Additional Context This has been brought up on the Discord a few times, and we had a small [poll](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1203087353850364004/1212465038711984158) on this. `Dir2`/`Dir3`/`Dir3A` was quite unanimously chosen as the best option, but of course it was a very small poll and inconclusive, so other opinions are certainly welcome too. --------- Co-authored-by: IceSentry <c.giguere42@gmail.com> |

Rework animation to be done in two phases. (#11707)
# Objective Bevy's animation system currently does tree traversals based on `Name` that aren't necessary. Not only do they require in unsafe code because tree traversals are awkward with parallelism, but they are also somewhat slow, brittle, and complex, which manifested itself as way too many queries in #11670. # Solution Divide animation into two phases: animation *advancement* and animation *evaluation*, which run after one another. *Advancement* operates on the `AnimationPlayer` and sets the current animation time to match the game time. *Evaluation* operates on all animation bones in the scene in parallel and sets the transforms and/or morph weights based on the time and the clip. To do this, we introduce a new component, `AnimationTarget`, which the asset loader places on every bone. It contains the ID of the entity containing the `AnimationPlayer`, as well as a UUID that identifies which bone in the animation the target corresponds to. In the case of glTF, the UUID is derived from the full path name to the bone. The rule that `AnimationTarget`s are descendants of the entity containing `AnimationPlayer` is now just a convention, not a requirement; this allows us to eliminate the unsafe code. # Migration guide * `AnimationClip` now uses UUIDs instead of hierarchical paths based on the `Name` component to refer to bones. This has several consequences: - A new component, `AnimationTarget`, should be placed on each bone that you wish to animate, in order to specify its UUID and the associated `AnimationPlayer`. The glTF loader automatically creates these components as necessary, so most uses of glTF rigs shouldn't need to change. - Moving a bone around the tree, or renaming it, no longer prevents an `AnimationPlayer` from affecting it. - Dynamically changing the `AnimationPlayer` component will likely require manual updating of the `AnimationTarget` components. * Entities with `AnimationPlayer` components may now possess descendants that also have `AnimationPlayer` components. They may not, however, animate the same bones. * As they aren't specific to `TypeId`s, `bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpTypeIdHash` and `bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpTypeIdHasher` have been renamed to `bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpHash` and `bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpHasher` respectively. |

Add Capsule2d primitive (#11585)
# Objective Currently, the `Capsule` primitive is technically dimension-agnostic in that it implements both `Primitive2d` and `Primitive3d`. This seems good on paper, but it can often be useful to have separate 2D and 3D versions of primitives. For example, one might want a two-dimensional capsule mesh. We can't really implement both 2D and 3D meshing for the same type using the upcoming `Meshable` trait (see #11431). We also currently don't implement `Bounded2d` for `Capsule`, see https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11336#issuecomment-1890797788. Having 2D and 3D separate at a type level is more explicit, and also more consistent with the existing primitives, as there are no other types that implement both `Primitive2d` and `Primitive3d` at the same time. ## Solution Rename `Capsule` to `Capsule3d` and add `Capsule2d`. `Capsule2d` implements `Bounded2d`. For now, I went for `Capsule2d` for the sake of consistency and clarity. Mathematically the more accurate term would be `Stadium` or `Pill` (see [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_(geometry))), but those might be less obvious to game devs. For reference, Godot has [`CapsuleShape2D`](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_capsuleshape2d.html). I can rename it if others think the geometrically correct name is better though. --- ## Changelog - Renamed `Capsule` to `Capsule3d` - Added `Capsule2d` with `Bounded2d` implemented --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.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`](

Bevy Asset V2 (#8624)
# Bevy Asset V2 Proposal ## Why Does Bevy Need A New Asset System? Asset pipelines are a central part of the gamedev process. Bevy's current asset system is missing a number of features that make it non-viable for many classes of gamedev. After plenty of discussions and [a long community feedback period](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/3972), we've identified a number missing features: * **Asset Preprocessing**: it should be possible to "preprocess" / "compile" / "crunch" assets at "development time" rather than when the game starts up. This enables offloading expensive work from deployed apps, faster asset loading, less runtime memory usage, etc. * **Per-Asset Loader Settings**: Individual assets cannot define their own loaders that override the defaults. Additionally, they cannot provide per-asset settings to their loaders. This is a huge limitation, as many asset types don't provide all information necessary for Bevy _inside_ the asset. For example, a raw PNG image says nothing about how it should be sampled (ex: linear vs nearest). * **Asset `.meta` files**: assets should have configuration files stored adjacent to the asset in question, which allows the user to configure asset-type-specific settings. These settings should be accessible during the pre-processing phase. Modifying a `.meta` file should trigger a re-processing / re-load of the asset. It should be possible to configure asset loaders from the meta file. * **Processed Asset Hot Reloading**: Changes to processed assets (or their dependencies) should result in re-processing them and re-loading the results in live Bevy Apps. * **Asset Dependency Tracking**: The current bevy_asset has no good way to wait for asset dependencies to load. It punts this as an exercise for consumers of the loader apis, which is unreasonable and error prone. There should be easy, ergonomic ways to wait for assets to load and block some logic on an asset's entire dependency tree loading. * **Runtime Asset Loading**: it should be (optionally) possible to load arbitrary assets dynamically at runtime. This necessitates being able to deploy and run the asset server alongside Bevy Apps on _all platforms_. For example, we should be able to invoke the shader compiler at runtime, stream scenes from sources like the internet, etc. To keep deployed binaries (and startup times) small, the runtime asset server configuration should be configurable with different settings compared to the "pre processor asset server". * **Multiple Backends**: It should be possible to load assets from arbitrary sources (filesystems, the internet, remote asset serves, etc). * **Asset Packing**: It should be possible to deploy assets in compressed "packs", which makes it easier and more efficient to distribute assets with Bevy Apps. * **Asset Handoff**: It should be possible to hold a "live" asset handle, which correlates to runtime data, without actually holding the asset in memory. Ex: it must be possible to hold a reference to a GPU mesh generated from a "mesh asset" without keeping the mesh data in CPU memory * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: Different platforms and app distributions have different capabilities and requirements. Some platforms need lower asset resolutions or different asset formats to operate within the hardware constraints of the platform. It should be possible to define per-platform asset processing profiles. And it should be possible to deploy only the assets required for a given platform. These features have architectural implications that are significant enough to require a full rewrite. The current Bevy Asset implementation got us this far, but it can take us no farther. This PR defines a brand new asset system that implements most of these features, while laying the foundations for the remaining features to be built. ## Bevy Asset V2 Here is a quick overview of the features introduced in this PR. * **Asset Preprocessing**: Preprocess assets at development time into more efficient (and configurable) representations * **Dependency Aware**: Dependencies required to process an asset are tracked. If an asset's processed dependency changes, it will be reprocessed * **Hot Reprocessing/Reloading**: detect changes to asset source files, reprocess them if they have changed, and then hot-reload them in Bevy Apps. * **Only Process Changes**: Assets are only re-processed when their source file (or meta file) has changed. This uses hashing and timestamps to avoid processing assets that haven't changed. * **Transactional and Reliable**: Uses write-ahead logging (a technique commonly used by databases) to recover from crashes / forced-exits. Whenever possible it avoids full-reprocessing / only uncompleted transactions will be reprocessed. When the processor is running in parallel with a Bevy App, processor asset writes block Bevy App asset reads. Reading metadata + asset bytes is guaranteed to be transactional / correctly paired. * **Portable / Run anywhere / Database-free**: The processor does not rely on an in-memory database (although it uses some database techniques for reliability). This is important because pretty much all in-memory databases have unsupported platforms or build complications. * **Configure Processor Defaults Per File Type**: You can say "use this processor for all files of this type". * **Custom Processors**: The `Processor` trait is flexible and unopinionated. It can be implemented by downstream plugins. * **LoadAndSave Processors**: Most asset processing scenarios can be expressed as "run AssetLoader A, save the results using AssetSaver X, and then load the result using AssetLoader B". For example, load this png image using `PngImageLoader`, which produces an `Image` asset and then save it using `CompressedImageSaver` (which also produces an `Image` asset, but in a compressed format), which takes an `Image` asset as input. This means if you have an `AssetLoader` for an asset, you are already half way there! It also means that you can share AssetSavers across multiple loaders. Because `CompressedImageSaver` accepts Bevy's generic Image asset as input, it means you can also use it with some future `JpegImageLoader`. * **Loader and Saver Settings**: Asset Loaders and Savers can now define their own settings types, which are passed in as input when an asset is loaded / saved. Each asset can define its own settings. * **Asset `.meta` files**: configure asset loaders, their settings, enable/disable processing, and configure processor settings * **Runtime Asset Dependency Tracking** Runtime asset dependencies (ex: if an asset contains a `Handle<Image>`) are tracked by the asset server. An event is emitted when an asset and all of its dependencies have been loaded * **Unprocessed Asset Loading**: Assets do not require preprocessing. They can be loaded directly. A processed asset is just a "normal" asset with some extra metadata. Asset Loaders don't need to know or care about whether or not an asset was processed. * **Async Asset IO**: Asset readers/writers use async non-blocking interfaces. Note that because Rust doesn't yet support async traits, there is a bit of manual Boxing / Future boilerplate. This will hopefully be removed in the near future when Rust gets async traits. * **Pluggable Asset Readers and Writers**: Arbitrary asset source readers/writers are supported, both by the processor and the asset server. * **Better Asset Handles** * **Single Arc Tree**: Asset Handles now use a single arc tree that represents the lifetime of the asset. This makes their implementation simpler, more efficient, and allows us to cheaply attach metadata to handles. Ex: the AssetPath of a handle is now directly accessible on the handle itself! * **Const Typed Handles**: typed handles can be constructed in a const context. No more weird "const untyped converted to typed at runtime" patterns! * **Handles and Ids are Smaller / Faster To Hash / Compare**: Typed `Handle<T>` is now much smaller in memory and `AssetId<T>` is even smaller. * **Weak Handle Usage Reduction**: In general Handles are now considered to be "strong". Bevy features that previously used "weak `Handle<T>`" have been ported to `AssetId<T>`, which makes it statically clear that the features do not hold strong handles (while retaining strong type information). Currently Handle::Weak still exists, but it is very possible that we can remove that entirely. * **Efficient / Dense Asset Ids**: Assets now have efficient dense runtime asset ids, which means we can avoid expensive hash lookups. Assets are stored in Vecs instead of HashMaps. There are now typed and untyped ids, which means we no longer need to store dynamic type information in the ID for typed handles. "AssetPathId" (which was a nightmare from a performance and correctness standpoint) has been entirely removed in favor of dense ids (which are retrieved for a path on load) * **Direct Asset Loading, with Dependency Tracking**: Assets that are defined at runtime can still have their dependencies tracked by the Asset Server (ex: if you create a material at runtime, you can still wait for its textures to load). This is accomplished via the (currently optional) "asset dependency visitor" trait. This system can also be used to define a set of assets to load, then wait for those assets to load. * **Async folder loading**: Folder loading also uses this system and immediately returns a handle to the LoadedFolder asset, which means folder loading no longer blocks on directory traversals. * **Improved Loader Interface**: Loaders now have a specific "top level asset type", which makes returning the top-level asset simpler and statically typed. * **Basic Image Settings and Processing**: Image assets can now be processed into the gpu-friendly Basic Universal format. The ImageLoader now has a setting to define what format the image should be loaded as. Note that this is just a minimal MVP ... plenty of additional work to do here. To demo this, enable the `basis-universal` feature and turn on asset processing. * **Simpler Audio Play / AudioSink API**: Asset handle providers are cloneable, which means the Audio resource can mint its own handles. This means you can now do `let sink_handle = audio.play(music)` instead of `let sink_handle = audio_sinks.get_handle(audio.play(music))`. Note that this might still be replaced by https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8424. **Removed Handle Casting From Engine Features**: Ex: FontAtlases no longer use casting between handle types ## Using The New Asset System ### Normal Unprocessed Asset Loading By default the `AssetPlugin` does not use processing. It behaves pretty much the same way as the old system. If you are defining a custom asset, first derive `Asset`: ```rust #[derive(Asset)] struct Thing { value: String, } ``` Initialize the asset: ```rust app.init_asset:<Thing>() ``` Implement a new `AssetLoader` for it: ```rust #[derive(Default)] struct ThingLoader; #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)] pub struct ThingSettings { some_setting: bool, } impl AssetLoader for ThingLoader { type Asset = Thing; type Settings = ThingSettings; fn load<'a>( &'a self, reader: &'a mut Reader, settings: &'a ThingSettings, load_context: &'a mut LoadContext, ) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<Thing, anyhow::Error>> { Box::pin(async move { let mut bytes = Vec::new(); reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?; // convert bytes to value somehow Ok(Thing { value }) }) } fn extensions(&self) -> &[&str] { &["thing"] } } ``` Note that this interface will get much cleaner once Rust gets support for async traits. `Reader` is an async futures_io::AsyncRead. You can stream bytes as they come in or read them all into a `Vec<u8>`, depending on the context. You can use `let handle = load_context.load(path)` to kick off a dependency load, retrieve a handle, and register the dependency for the asset. Then just register the loader in your Bevy app: ```rust app.init_asset_loader::<ThingLoader>() ``` Now just add your `Thing` asset files into the `assets` folder and load them like this: ```rust fn system(asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) { let handle = Handle<Thing> = asset_server.load("cool.thing"); } ``` You can check load states directly via the asset server: ```rust if asset_server.load_state(&handle) == LoadState::Loaded { } ``` You can also listen for events: ```rust fn system(mut events: EventReader<AssetEvent<Thing>>, handle: Res<SomeThingHandle>) { for event in events.iter() { if event.is_loaded_with_dependencies(&handle) { } } } ``` Note the new `AssetEvent::LoadedWithDependencies`, which only fires when the asset is loaded _and_ all dependencies (and their dependencies) have loaded. Unlike the old asset system, for a given asset path all `Handle<T>` values point to the same underlying Arc. This means Handles can cheaply hold more asset information, such as the AssetPath: ```rust // prints the AssetPath of the handle info!("{:?}", handle.path()) ``` ### Processed Assets Asset processing can be enabled via the `AssetPlugin`. When developing Bevy Apps with processed assets, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev())) ``` This runs the `AssetProcessor` in the background with hot-reloading. It reads assets from the `assets` folder, processes them, and writes them to the `.imported_assets` folder. Asset loads in the Bevy App will wait for a processed version of the asset to become available. If an asset in the `assets` folder changes, it will be reprocessed and hot-reloaded in the Bevy App. When deploying processed Bevy apps, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed())) ``` This does not run the `AssetProcessor` in the background. It behaves like `AssetPlugin::unprocessed()`, but reads assets from `.imported_assets`. When the `AssetProcessor` is running, it will populate sibling `.meta` files for assets in the `assets` folder. Meta files for assets that do not have a processor configured look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` This is metadata for an image asset. For example, if you have `assets/my_sprite.png`, this could be the metadata stored at `assets/my_sprite.png.meta`. Meta files are totally optional. If no metadata exists, the default settings will be used. In short, this file says "load this asset with the ImageLoader and use the file extension to determine the image type". This type of meta file is supported in all AssetPlugin modes. If in `Unprocessed` mode, the asset (with the meta settings) will be loaded directly. If in `ProcessedDev` mode, the asset file will be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder. The meta will also be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder, but with one addition: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 12415480888597742505, full_hash: 14344495437905856884, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` `processed_info` contains `hash` (a direct hash of the asset and meta bytes), `full_hash` (a hash of `hash` and the hashes of all `process_dependencies`), and `process_dependencies` (the `path` and `full_hash` of every process_dependency). A "process dependency" is an asset dependency that is _directly_ used when processing the asset. Images do not have process dependencies, so this is empty. When the processor is enabled, you can use the `Process` metadata config: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Process( processor: "bevy_asset::processor::process::LoadAndSave<bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader, bevy_render::texture::compressed_image_saver::CompressedImageSaver>", settings: ( loader_settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), saver_settings: ( generate_mipmaps: true, ), ), ), ) ``` This configures the asset to use the `LoadAndSave` processor, which runs an AssetLoader and feeds the result into an AssetSaver (which saves the given Asset and defines a loader to load it with). (for terseness LoadAndSave will likely get a shorter/friendlier type name when [Stable Type Paths](#7184) lands). `LoadAndSave` is likely to be the most common processor type, but arbitrary processors are supported. `CompressedImageSaver` saves an `Image` in the Basis Universal format and configures the ImageLoader to load it as basis universal. The `AssetProcessor` will read this meta, run it through the LoadAndSave processor, and write the basis-universal version of the image to `.imported_assets`. The final metadata will look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 905599590923828066, full_hash: 9948823010183819117, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: Format(Basis), ), ), ) ``` To try basis-universal processing out in Bevy examples, (for example `sprite.rs`), change `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)` to `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev()))` and run with the `basis-universal` feature enabled: `cargo run --features=basis-universal --example sprite`. To create a custom processor, there are two main paths: 1. Use the `LoadAndSave` processor with an existing `AssetLoader`. Implement the `AssetSaver` trait, register the processor using `asset_processor.register_processor::<LoadAndSave<ImageLoader, CompressedImageSaver>>(image_saver.into())`. 2. Implement the `Process` trait directly and register it using: `asset_processor.register_processor(thing_processor)`. You can configure default processors for file extensions like this: ```rust asset_processor.set_default_processor::<ThingProcessor>("thing") ``` There is one more metadata type to be aware of: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Ignore, ) ``` This will ignore the asset during processing / prevent it from being written to `.imported_assets`. The AssetProcessor stores a transaction log at `.imported_assets/log` and uses it to gracefully recover from unexpected stops. This means you can force-quit the processor (and Bevy Apps running the processor in parallel) at arbitrary times! `.imported_assets` is "local state". It should _not_ be checked into source control. It should also be considered "read only". In practice, you _can_ modify processed assets and processed metadata if you really need to test something. But those modifications will not be represented in the hashes of the assets, so the processed state will be "out of sync" with the source assets. The processor _will not_ fix this for you. Either revert the change after you have tested it, or delete the processed files so they can be re-populated. ## Open Questions There are a number of open questions to be discussed. We should decide if they need to be addressed in this PR and if so, how we will address them: ### Implied Dependencies vs Dependency Enumeration There are currently two ways to populate asset dependencies: * **Implied via AssetLoaders**: if an AssetLoader loads an asset (and retrieves a handle), a dependency is added to the list. * **Explicit via the optional Asset::visit_dependencies**: if `server.load_asset(my_asset)` is called, it will call `my_asset.visit_dependencies`, which will grab dependencies that have been manually defined for the asset via the Asset trait impl (which can be derived). This means that defining explicit dependencies is optional for "loaded assets". And the list of dependencies is always accurate because loaders can only produce Handles if they register dependencies. If an asset was loaded with an AssetLoader, it only uses the implied dependencies. If an asset was created at runtime and added with `asset_server.load_asset(MyAsset)`, it will use `Asset::visit_dependencies`. However this can create a behavior mismatch between loaded assets and equivalent "created at runtime" assets if `Assets::visit_dependencies` doesn't exactly match the dependencies produced by the AssetLoader. This behavior mismatch can be resolved by completely removing "implied loader dependencies" and requiring `Asset::visit_dependencies` to supply dependency data. But this creates two problems: * It makes defining loaded assets harder and more error prone: Devs must remember to manually annotate asset dependencies with `#[dependency]` when deriving `Asset`. For more complicated assets (such as scenes), the derive likely wouldn't be sufficient and a manual `visit_dependencies` impl would be required. * Removes the ability to immediately kick off dependency loads: When AssetLoaders retrieve a Handle, they also immediately kick off an asset load for the handle, which means it can start loading in parallel _before_ the asset finishes loading. For large assets, this could be significant. (although this could be mitigated for processed assets if we store dependencies in the processed meta file and load them ahead of time) ### Eager ProcessorDev Asset Loading I made a controversial call in the interest of fast startup times ("time to first pixel") for the "processor dev mode configuration". When initializing the AssetProcessor, current processed versions of unchanged assets are yielded immediately, even if their dependencies haven't been checked yet for reprocessing. This means that non-current-state-of-filesystem-but-previously-valid assets might be returned to the App first, then hot-reloaded if/when their dependencies change and the asset is reprocessed. Is this behavior desirable? There is largely one alternative: do not yield an asset from the processor to the app until all of its dependencies have been checked for changes. In some common cases (load dependency has not changed since last run) this will increase startup time. The main question is "by how much" and is that slower startup time worth it in the interest of only yielding assets that are true to the current state of the filesystem. Should this be configurable? I'm starting to think we should only yield an asset after its (historical) dependencies have been checked for changes + processed as necessary, but I'm curious what you all think. ### Paths Are Currently The Only Canonical ID / Do We Want Asset UUIDs? In this implementation AssetPaths are the only canonical asset identifier (just like the previous Bevy Asset system and Godot). Moving assets will result in re-scans (and currently reprocessing, although reprocessing can easily be avoided with some changes). Asset renames/moves will break code and assets that rely on specific paths, unless those paths are fixed up. Do we want / need "stable asset uuids"? Introducing them is very possible: 1. Generate a UUID and include it in .meta files 2. Support UUID in AssetPath 3. Generate "asset indices" which are loaded on startup and map UUIDs to paths. 4 (maybe). Consider only supporting UUIDs for processed assets so we can generate quick-to-load indices instead of scanning meta files. The main "pro" is that assets referencing UUIDs don't need to be migrated when a path changes. The main "con" is that UUIDs cannot be "lazily resolved" like paths. They need a full view of all assets to answer the question "does this UUID exist". Which means UUIDs require the AssetProcessor to fully finish startup scans before saying an asset doesnt exist. And they essentially require asset pre-processing to use in apps, because scanning all asset metadata files at runtime to resolve a UUID is not viable for medium-to-large apps. It really requires a pre-generated UUID index, which must be loaded before querying for assets. I personally think this should be investigated in a separate PR. Paths aren't going anywhere ... _everyone_ uses filesystems (and filesystem-like apis) to manage their asset source files. I consider them permanent canonical asset information. Additionally, they behave well for both processed and unprocessed asset modes. Given that Bevy is supporting both, this feels like the right canonical ID to start with. UUIDS (and maybe even other indexed-identifier types) can be added later as necessary. ### Folder / File Naming Conventions All asset processing config currently lives in the `.imported_assets` folder. The processor transaction log is in `.imported_assets/log`. Processed assets are added to `.imported_assets/Default`, which will make migrating to processed asset profiles (ex: a `.imported_assets/Mobile` profile) a non-breaking change. It also allows us to create top-level files like `.imported_assets/log` without it being interpreted as an asset. Meta files currently have a `.meta` suffix. Do we like these names and conventions? ### Should the `AssetPlugin::processed_dev` configuration enable `watch_for_changes` automatically? Currently it does (which I think makes sense), but it does make it the only configuration that enables watch_for_changes by default. ### Discuss on_loaded High Level Interface: This PR includes a very rough "proof of concept" `on_loaded` system adapter that uses the `LoadedWithDependencies` event in combination with `asset_server.load_asset` dependency tracking to support this pattern ```rust fn main() { App::new() .init_asset::<MyAssets>() .add_systems(Update, on_loaded(create_array_texture)) .run(); } #[derive(Asset, Clone)] struct MyAssets { #[dependency] picture_of_my_cat: Handle<Image>, #[dependency] picture_of_my_other_cat: Handle<Image>, } impl FromWorld for ArrayTexture { fn from_world(world: &mut World) -> Self { picture_of_my_cat: server.load("meow.png"), picture_of_my_other_cat: server.load("meeeeeeeow.png"), } } fn spawn_cat(In(my_assets): In<MyAssets>, mut commands: Commands) { commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_cat.clone(), ..default() }); commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_other_cat.clone(), ..default() }); } ``` The implementation is _very_ rough. And it is currently unsafe because `bevy_ecs` doesn't expose some internals to do this safely from inside `bevy_asset`. There are plenty of unanswered questions like: * "do we add a Loadable" derive? (effectively automate the FromWorld implementation above) * Should `MyAssets` even be an Asset? (largely implemented this way because it elegantly builds on `server.load_asset(MyAsset { .. })` dependency tracking). We should think hard about what our ideal API looks like (and if this is a pattern we want to support). Not necessarily something we need to solve in this PR. The current `on_loaded` impl should probably be removed from this PR before merging. ## Clarifying Questions ### What about Assets as Entities? This Bevy Asset V2 proposal implementation initially stored Assets as ECS Entities. Instead of `AssetId<T>` + the `Assets<T>` resource it used `Entity` as the asset id and Asset values were just ECS components. There are plenty of compelling reasons to do this: 1. Easier to inline assets in Bevy Scenes (as they are "just" normal entities + components) 2. More flexible queries: use the power of the ECS to filter assets (ex: `Query<Mesh, With<Tree>>`). 3. Extensible. Users can add arbitrary component data to assets. 4. Things like "component visualization tools" work out of the box to visualize asset data. However Assets as Entities has a ton of caveats right now: * We need to be able to allocate entity ids without a direct World reference (aka rework id allocator in Entities ... i worked around this in my prototypes by just pre allocating big chunks of entities) * We want asset change events in addition to ECS change tracking ... how do we populate them when mutations can come from anywhere? Do we use Changed queries? This would require iterating over the change data for all assets every frame. Is this acceptable or should we implement a new "event based" component change detection option? * Reconciling manually created assets with asset-system managed assets has some nuance (ex: are they "loaded" / do they also have that component metadata?) * "how do we handle "static" / default entity handles" (ties in to the Entity Indices discussion: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/8319). This is necessary for things like "built in" assets and default handles in things like SpriteBundle. * Storing asset information as a component makes it easy to "invalidate" asset state by removing the component (or forcing modifications). Ideally we have ways to lock this down (some combination of Rust type privacy and ECS validation) In practice, how we store and identify assets is a reasonably superficial change (porting off of Assets as Entities and implementing dedicated storage + ids took less than a day). So once we sort out the remaining challenges the flip should be straightforward. Additionally, I do still have "Assets as Entities" in my commit history, so we can reuse that work. I personally think "assets as entities" is a good endgame, but it also doesn't provide _significant_ value at the moment and it certainly isn't ready yet with the current state of things. ### Why not Distill? [Distill](https://github.com/amethyst/distill) is a high quality fully featured asset system built in Rust. It is very natural to ask "why not just use Distill?". It is also worth calling out that for awhile, [we planned on adopting Distill / I signed off on it](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/708). However I think Bevy has a number of constraints that make Distill adoption suboptimal: * **Architectural Simplicity:** * Distill's processor requires an in-memory database (lmdb) and RPC networked API (using Cap'n Proto). Each of these introduces API complexity that increases maintenance burden and "code grokability". Ignoring tests, documentation, and examples, Distill has 24,237 lines of Rust code (including generated code for RPC + database interactions). If you ignore generated code, it has 11,499 lines. * Bevy builds the AssetProcessor and AssetServer using pluggable AssetReader/AssetWriter Rust traits with simple io interfaces. They do not necessitate databases or RPC interfaces (although Readers/Writers could use them if that is desired). Bevy Asset V2 (at the time of writing this PR) is 5,384 lines of Rust code (ignoring tests, documentation, and examples). Grain of salt: Distill does have more features currently (ex: Asset Packing, GUIDS, remote-out-of-process asset processor). I do plan to implement these features in Bevy Asset V2 and I personally highly doubt they will meaningfully close the 6115 lines-of-code gap. * This complexity gap (which while illustrated by lines of code, is much bigger than just that) is noteworthy to me. Bevy should be hackable and there are pillars of Distill that are very hard to understand and extend. This is a matter of opinion (and Bevy Asset V2 also has complicated areas), but I think Bevy Asset V2 is much more approachable for the average developer. * Necessary disclaimer: counting lines of code is an extremely rough complexity metric. Read the code and form your own opinions. * **Optional Asset Processing:** Not all Bevy Apps (or Bevy App developers) need / want asset preprocessing. Processing increases the complexity of the development environment by introducing things like meta files, imported asset storage, running processors in the background, waiting for processing to finish, etc. Distill _requires_ preprocessing to work. With Bevy Asset V2 processing is fully opt-in. The AssetServer isn't directly aware of asset processors at all. AssetLoaders only care about converting bytes to runtime Assets ... they don't know or care if the bytes were pre-processed or not. Processing is "elegantly" (forgive my self-congratulatory phrasing) layered on top and builds on the existing Asset system primitives. * **Direct Filesystem Access to Processed Asset State:** Distill stores processed assets in a database. This makes debugging / inspecting the processed outputs harder (either requires special tooling to query the database or they need to be "deployed" to be inspected). Bevy Asset V2, on the other hand, stores processed assets in the filesystem (by default ... this is configurable). This makes interacting with the processed state more natural. Note that both Godot and Unity's new asset system store processed assets in the filesystem. * **Portability**: Because Distill's processor uses lmdb and RPC networking, it cannot be run on certain platforms (ex: lmdb is a non-rust dependency that cannot run on the web, some platforms don't support running network servers). Bevy should be able to process assets everywhere (ex: run the Bevy Editor on the web, compile + process shaders on mobile, etc). Distill does partially mitigate this problem by supporting "streaming" assets via the RPC protocol, but this is not a full solve from my perspective. And Bevy Asset V2 can (in theory) also stream assets (without requiring RPC, although this isn't implemented yet) Note that I _do_ still think Distill would be a solid asset system for Bevy. But I think the approach in this PR is a better solve for Bevy's specific "asset system requirements". ### Doesn't async-fs just shim requests to "sync" `std::fs`? What is the point? "True async file io" has limited / spotty platform support. async-fs (and the rust async ecosystem generally ... ex Tokio) currently use async wrappers over std::fs that offload blocking requests to separate threads. This may feel unsatisfying, but it _does_ still provide value because it prevents our task pools from blocking on file system operations (which would prevent progress when there are many tasks to do, but all threads in a pool are currently blocking on file system ops). Additionally, using async APIs for our AssetReaders and AssetWriters also provides value because we can later add support for "true async file io" for platforms that support it. _And_ we can implement other "true async io" asset backends (such as networked asset io). ## Draft TODO - [x] Fill in missing filesystem event APIs: file removed event (which is expressed as dangling RenameFrom events in some cases), file/folder renamed event - [x] Assets without loaders are not moved to the processed folder. This breaks things like referenced `.bin` files for GLTFs. This should be configurable per-non-asset-type. - [x] Initial implementation of Reflect and FromReflect for Handle. The "deserialization" parity bar is low here as this only worked with static UUIDs in the old impl ... this is a non-trivial problem. Either we add a Handle::AssetPath variant that gets "upgraded" to a strong handle on scene load or we use a separate AssetRef type for Bevy scenes (which is converted to a runtime Handle on load). This deserves its own discussion in a different pr. - [x] Populate read_asset_bytes hash when run by the processor (a bit of a special case .. when run by the processor the processed meta will contain the hash so we don't need to compute it on the spot, but we don't want/need to read the meta when run by the main AssetServer) - [x] Delay hot reloading: currently filesystem events are handled immediately, which creates timing issues in some cases. For example hot reloading images can sometimes break because the image isn't finished writing. We should add a delay, likely similar to the [implementation in this PR](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8503). - [x] Port old platform-specific AssetIo implementations to the new AssetReader interface (currently missing Android and web) - [x] Resolve on_loaded unsafety (either by removing the API entirely or removing the unsafe) - [x] Runtime loader setting overrides - [x] Remove remaining unwraps that should be error-handled. There are number of TODOs here - [x] Pretty AssetPath Display impl - [x] Document more APIs - [x] Resolve spurious "reloading because it has changed" events (to repro run load_gltf with `processed_dev()`) - [x] load_dependency hot reloading currently only works for processed assets. If processing is disabled, load_dependency changes are not hot reloaded. - [x] Replace AssetInfo dependency load/fail counters with `loading_dependencies: HashSet<UntypedAssetId>` to prevent reloads from (potentially) breaking counters. Storing this will also enable "dependency reloaded" events (see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [x] Re-add filesystem watcher cargo feature gate (currently it is not optional) - [ ] Migration Guide - [ ] Changelog ## Followup TODO - [ ] Replace "eager unchanged processed asset loading" behavior with "don't returned unchanged processed asset until dependencies have been checked". - [ ] Add true `Ignore` AssetAction that does not copy the asset to the imported_assets folder. - [ ] Finish "live asset unloading" (ex: free up CPU asset memory after uploading an image to the GPU), rethink RenderAssets, and port renderer features. The `Assets` collection uses `Option<T>` for asset storage to support its removal. (1) the Option might not actually be necessary ... might be able to just remove from the collection entirely (2) need to finalize removal apis - [ ] Try replacing the "channel based" asset id recycling with something a bit more efficient (ex: we might be able to use raw atomic ints with some cleverness) - [ ] Consider adding UUIDs to processed assets (scoped just to helping identify moved assets ... not exposed to load queries ... see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [ ] Store "last modified" source asset and meta timestamps in processed meta files to enable skipping expensive hashing when the file wasn't changed - [ ] Fix "slow loop" handle drop fix - [ ] Migrate to TypeName - [x] Handle "loader preregistration". See #9429 ## Next Steps * **Configurable per-type defaults for AssetMeta**: It should be possible to add configuration like "all png image meta should default to using nearest sampling" (currently this hard-coded per-loader/processor Settings::default() impls). Also see the "Folder Meta" bullet point. * **Avoid Reprocessing on Asset Renames / Moves**: See the "canonical asset ids" discussion in [Open Questions](#open-questions) and the relevant bullet point in [Draft TODO](#draft-todo). Even without canonical ids, folder renames could avoid reprocessing in some cases. * **Multiple Asset Sources**: Expand AssetPath to support "asset source names" and support multiple AssetReaders in the asset server (ex: `webserver://some_path/image.png` backed by an Http webserver AssetReader). The "default" asset reader would use normal `some_path/image.png` paths. Ideally this works in combination with multiple AssetWatchers for hot-reloading * **Stable Type Names**: this pr removes the TypeUuid requirement from assets in favor of `std::any::type_name`. This makes defining assets easier (no need to generate a new uuid / use weird proc macro syntax). It also makes reading meta files easier (because things have "friendly names"). We also use type names for components in scene files. If they are good enough for components, they are good enough for assets. And consistency across Bevy pillars is desirable. However, `std::any::type_name` is not guaranteed to be stable (although in practice it is). We've developed a [stable type path](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7184) to resolve this, which should be adopted when it is ready. * **Command Line Interface**: It should be possible to run the asset processor in a separate process from the command line. This will also require building a network-server-backed AssetReader to communicate between the app and the processor. We've been planning to build a "bevy cli" for awhile. This seems like a good excuse to build it. * **Asset Packing**: This is largely an additive feature, so it made sense to me to punt this until we've laid the foundations in this PR. * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: It should be possible to generate assets for multiple platforms by supporting multiple "processor profiles" per asset (ex: compress with format X on PC and Y on iOS). I think there should probably be arbitrary "profiles" (which can be separate from actual platforms), which are then assigned to a given platform when generating the final asset distribution for that platform. Ex: maybe devs want a "Mobile" profile that is shared between iOS and Android. Or a "LowEnd" profile shared between web and mobile. * **Versioning and Migrations**: Assets, Loaders, Savers, and Processors need to have versions to determine if their schema is valid. If an asset / loader version is incompatible with the current version expected at runtime, the processor should be able to migrate them. I think we should try using Bevy Reflect for this, as it would allow us to load the old version as a dynamic Reflect type without actually having the old Rust type. It would also allow us to define "patches" to migrate between versions (Bevy Reflect devs are currently working on patching). The `.meta` file already has its own format version. Migrating that to new versions should also be possible. * **Real Copy-on-write AssetPaths**: Rust's actual Cow (clone-on-write type) currently used by AssetPath can still result in String clones that aren't actually necessary (cloning an Owned Cow clones the contents). Bevy's asset system requires cloning AssetPaths in a number of places, which result in actual clones of the internal Strings. This is not efficient. AssetPath internals should be reworked to exhibit truer cow-like-behavior that reduces String clones to the absolute minimum. * **Consider processor-less processing**: In theory the AssetServer could run processors "inline" even if the background AssetProcessor is disabled. If we decide this is actually desirable, we could add this. But I don't think its a priority in the short or medium term. * **Pre-emptive dependency loading**: We could encode dependencies in processed meta files, which could then be used by the Asset Server to kick of dependency loads as early as possible (prior to starting the actual asset load). Is this desirable? How much time would this save in practice? * **Optimize Processor With UntypedAssetIds**: The processor exclusively uses AssetPath to identify assets currently. It might be possible to swap these out for UntypedAssetIds in some places, which are smaller / cheaper to hash and compare. * **One to Many Asset Processing**: An asset source file that produces many assets currently must be processed into a single "processed" asset source. If labeled assets can be written separately they can each have their own configured savers _and_ they could be loaded more granularly. Definitely worth exploring! * **Automatically Track "Runtime-only" Asset Dependencies**: Right now, tracking "created at runtime" asset dependencies requires adding them via `asset_server.load_asset(StandardMaterial::default())`. I think with some cleverness we could also do this for `materials.add(StandardMaterial::default())`, making tracking work "everywhere". There are challenges here relating to change detection / ensuring the server is made aware of dependency changes. This could be expensive in some cases. * **"Dependency Changed" events**: Some assets have runtime artifacts that need to be re-generated when one of their dependencies change (ex: regenerate a material's bind group when a Texture needs to change). We are generating the dependency graph so we can definitely produce these events. Buuuuut generating these events will have a cost / they could be high frequency for some assets, so we might want this to be opt-in for specific cases. * **Investigate Storing More Information In Handles**: Handles can now store arbitrary information, which makes it cheaper and easier to access. How much should we move into them? Canonical asset load states (via atomics)? (`handle.is_loaded()` would be very cool). Should we store the entire asset and remove the `Assets<T>` collection? (`Arc<RwLock<Option<Image>>>`?) * **Support processing and loading files without extensions**: This is a pretty arbitrary restriction and could be supported with very minimal changes. * **Folder Meta**: It would be nice if we could define per folder processor configuration defaults (likely in a `.meta` or `.folder_meta` file). Things like "default to linear filtering for all Images in this folder". * **Replace async_broadcast with event-listener?** This might be approximately drop-in for some uses and it feels more light weight * **Support Running the AssetProcessor on the Web**: Most of the hard work is done here, but there are some easy straggling TODOs (make the transaction log an interface instead of a direct file writer so we can write a web storage backend, implement an AssetReader/AssetWriter that reads/writes to something like LocalStorage). * **Consider identifying and preventing circular dependencies**: This is especially important for "processor dependencies", as processing will silently never finish in these cases. * **Built-in/Inlined Asset Hot Reloading**: This PR regresses "built-in/inlined" asset hot reloading (previously provided by the DebugAssetServer). I'm intentionally punting this because I think it can be cleanly implemented with "multiple asset sources" by registering a "debug asset source" (ex: `debug://bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr.wgsl` asset paths) in combination with an AssetWatcher for that asset source and support for "manually loading pats with asset bytes instead of AssetReaders". The old DebugAssetServer was quite nasty and I'd love to avoid that hackery going forward. * **Investigate ways to remove double-parsing meta files**: Parsing meta files currently involves parsing once with "minimal" versions of the meta file to extract the type name of the loader/processor config, then parsing again to parse the "full" meta. This is suboptimal. We should be able to define custom deserializers that (1) assume the loader/processor type name comes first (2) dynamically looks up the loader/processor registrations to deserialize settings in-line (similar to components in the bevy scene format). Another alternative: deserialize as dynamic Reflect objects and then convert. * **More runtime loading configuration**: Support using the Handle type as a hint to select an asset loader (instead of relying on AssetPath extensions) * **More high level Processor trait implementations**: For example, it might be worth adding support for arbitrary chains of "asset transforms" that modify an in-memory asset representation between loading and saving. (ex: load a Mesh, run a `subdivide_mesh` transform, followed by a `flip_normals` transform, then save the mesh to an efficient compressed format). * **Bevy Scene Handle Deserialization**: (see the relevant [Draft TODO item](#draft-todo) for context) * **Explore High Level Load Interfaces**: See [this discussion](#discuss-on_loaded-high-level-interface) for one prototype. * **Asset Streaming**: It would be great if we could stream Assets (ex: stream a long video file piece by piece) * **ID Exchanging**: In this PR Asset Handles/AssetIds are bigger than they need to be because they have a Uuid enum variant. If we implement an "id exchanging" system that trades Uuids for "efficient runtime ids", we can cut down on the size of AssetIds, making them more efficient. This has some open design questions, such as how to spawn entities with "default" handle values (as these wouldn't have access to the exchange api in the current system). * **Asset Path Fixup Tooling**: Assets that inline asset paths inside them will break when an asset moves. The asset system provides the functionality to detect when paths break. We should build a framework that enables formats to define "path migrations". This is especially important for scene files. For editor-generated files, we should also consider using UUIDs (see other bullet point) to avoid the need to migrate in these cases. --------- Co-authored-by: BeastLe9enD <beastle9end@outlook.de> Co-authored-by: Mike <mike.hsu@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nicola Papale <nicopap@users.noreply.github.com> |

bevy_reflect: FromReflect Ergonomics Implementation (#6056)
# Objective **This implementation is based on https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/59.** --- Resolves #4597 Full details and motivation can be found in the RFC, but here's a brief summary. `FromReflect` is a very powerful and important trait within the reflection API. It allows Dynamic types (e.g., `DynamicList`, etc.) to be formed into Real ones (e.g., `Vec<i32>`, etc.). This mainly comes into play concerning deserialization, where the reflection deserializers both return a `Box<dyn Reflect>` that almost always contain one of these Dynamic representations of a Real type. To convert this to our Real type, we need to use `FromReflect`. It also sneaks up in other ways. For example, it's a required bound for `T` in `Vec<T>` so that `Vec<T>` as a whole can be made `FromReflect`. It's also required by all fields of an enum as it's used as part of the `Reflect::apply` implementation. So in other words, much like `GetTypeRegistration` and `Typed`, it is very much a core reflection trait. The problem is that it is not currently treated like a core trait and is not automatically derived alongside `Reflect`. This makes using it a bit cumbersome and easy to forget. ## Solution Automatically derive `FromReflect` when deriving `Reflect`. Users can then choose to opt-out if needed using the `#[reflect(from_reflect = false)]` attribute. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo; #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(from_reflect = false)] struct Bar; fn test<T: FromReflect>(value: T) {} test(Foo); // <-- OK test(Bar); // <-- Panic! Bar does not implement trait `FromReflect` ``` #### `ReflectFromReflect` This PR also automatically adds the `ReflectFromReflect` (introduced in #6245) registration to the derived `GetTypeRegistration` impl— if the type hasn't opted out of `FromReflect` of course. <details> <summary><h4>Improved Deserialization</h4></summary> > **Warning** > This section includes changes that have since been descoped from this PR. They will likely be implemented again in a followup PR. I am mainly leaving these details in for archival purposes, as well as for reference when implementing this logic again. And since we can do all the above, we might as well improve deserialization. We can now choose to deserialize into a Dynamic type or automatically convert it using `FromReflect` under the hood. `[Un]TypedReflectDeserializer::new` will now perform the conversion and return the `Box`'d Real type. `[Un]TypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` will work like what we have now and simply return the `Box`'d Dynamic type. ```rust // Returns the Real type let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new(®istry); let mut deserializer = ron:🇩🇪:Deserializer::from_str(input)?; let output: SomeStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; // Returns the Dynamic type let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic(®istry); let mut deserializer = ron:🇩🇪:Deserializer::from_str(input)?; let output: DynamicStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; ``` </details> --- ## Changelog * `FromReflect` is now automatically derived within the `Reflect` derive macro * This includes auto-registering `ReflectFromReflect` in the derived `GetTypeRegistration` impl * ~~Renamed `TypedReflectDeserializer::new` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new` to `TypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic`, respectively~~ **Descoped** * ~~Changed `TypedReflectDeserializer::new` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new` to automatically convert the deserialized output using `FromReflect`~~ **Descoped** ## Migration Guide * `FromReflect` is now automatically derived within the `Reflect` derive macro. Items with both derives will need to remove the `FromReflect` one. ```rust // OLD #[derive(Reflect, FromReflect)] struct Foo; // NEW #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo; ``` If using a manual implementation of `FromReflect` and the `Reflect` derive, users will need to opt-out of the automatic implementation. ```rust // OLD #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo; impl FromReflect for Foo {/* ... */} // NEW #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(from_reflect = false)] struct Foo; impl FromReflect for Foo {/* ... */} ``` <details> <summary><h4>Removed Migrations</h4></summary> > **Warning** > This section includes changes that have since been descoped from this PR. They will likely be implemented again in a followup PR. I am mainly leaving these details in for archival purposes, as well as for reference when implementing this logic again. * The reflect deserializers now perform a `FromReflect` conversion internally. The expected output of `TypedReflectDeserializer::new` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new` is no longer a Dynamic (e.g., `DynamicList`), but its Real counterpart (e.g., `Vec<i32>`). ```rust let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic(®istry); let mut deserializer = ron:🇩🇪:Deserializer::from_str(input)?; // OLD let output: DynamicStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; // NEW let output: SomeStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; ``` Alternatively, if this behavior isn't desired, use the `TypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` methods instead: ```rust // OLD let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new(®istry); // NEW let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic(®istry); ``` </details> --------- Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> |

adding reflection for Cow<'static, [T]> (#7454)
# Objective - Implementing reflection for Cow<'static, [T]> - Hopefully fixes #7429 ## Solution - Implementing Reflect, Typed, GetTypeRegistration, and FromReflect for Cow<'static, [T]> --- ## Notes I have not used bevy_reflection much yet, so I may not fully understand all the use cases. This is also my first attempt at contributing, so I would appreciate any feedback or recommendations for changes. I tried to add cases for using Cow<'static, str> and Cow<'static, [u8]> to some of the bevy_reflect tests, but I can't guarantee those tests are comprehensive enough. --------- Co-authored-by: MinerSebas <66798382+MinerSebas@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> |
