# Objective
Closes#16221.
## Solution
- Make `Gamepad` fields public and remove delegates / getters.
- Move `impl Into` to `Axis` methods (delegates for `Axis` used `impl
Into` to allow passing both `GamepadAxis` and `GamepadButton`).
- Improve docs.
## Testing
- I run tests.
Not sure if the migration guide is needed, since it's a feature from RC,
but I wrote it just in case.
---
## Migration Guide
- `Gamepad` fields are now public.
- Instead of using `Gamepad` delegates like `Gamepad::just_pressed`,
call these methods directly on the fields.

# Objective
- Significantly improve the ergonomics of gamepads and allow new
features
Gamepads are a bit unergonomic to work with, they use resources but
unlike other inputs, they are not limited to a single gamepad, to get
around this it uses an identifier (Gamepad) to interact with anything
causing all sorts of issues.
1. There are too many: Gamepads, GamepadSettings, GamepadInfo,
ButtonInput<T>, 2 Axis<T>.
2. ButtonInput/Axis generic methods become really inconvenient to use
e.g. any_pressed()
3. GamepadButton/Axis structs are unnecessary boilerplate:
```rust
for gamepad in gamepads.iter() {
if button_inputs.just_pressed(GamepadButton::new(gamepad, GamepadButtonType::South)) {
info!("{:?} just pressed South", gamepad);
} else if button_inputs.just_released(GamepadButton::new(gamepad, GamepadButtonType::South))
{
info!("{:?} just released South", gamepad);
}
}
```
4. Projects often need to create resources to store the selected gamepad
and have to manually check if their gamepad is still valid anyways.
- Previously attempted by #3419 and #12674
## Solution
- Implement gamepads as entities.
Using entities solves all the problems above and opens new
possibilities.
1. Reduce boilerplate and allows iteration
```rust
let is_pressed = gamepads_buttons.iter().any(|buttons| buttons.pressed(GamepadButtonType::South))
```
2. ButtonInput/Axis generic methods become ergonomic again
```rust
gamepad_buttons.any_just_pressed([GamepadButtonType::Start, GamepadButtonType::Select])
```
3. Reduces the number of public components significantly (Gamepad,
GamepadSettings, GamepadButtons, GamepadAxes)
4. Components are highly convenient. Gamepad optional features could now
be expressed naturally (`Option<Rumble> or Option<Gyro>`), allows devs
to attach their own components and filter them, so code like this
becomes possible:
```rust
fn move_player<const T: usize>(
player: Query<&Transform, With<Player<T>>>,
gamepads_buttons: Query<&GamepadButtons, With<Player<T>>>,
) {
if let Ok(gamepad_buttons) = gamepads_buttons.get_single() {
if gamepad_buttons.pressed(GamepadButtonType::South) {
// move player
}
}
}
```

# Objective
- Resolves#10853
## Solution
- ~~Changed the name of `Input` struct to `PressableInput`.~~
- Changed the name of `Input` struct to `ButtonInput`.
## Migration Guide
- Breaking Change: Users need to rename `Input` to `ButtonInput` in
their projects.
# Objective
Provide the ability to trigger controller rumbling (force-feedback) with
a cross-platform API.
## Solution
This adds the `GamepadRumbleRequest` event to `bevy_input` and adds a
system in `bevy_gilrs` to read them and rumble controllers accordingly.
It's a relatively primitive API with a `duration` in seconds and
`GamepadRumbleIntensity` with values for the weak and strong gamepad
motors. It's is an almost 1-to-1 mapping to platform APIs. Some
platforms refer to these motors as left and right, and low frequency and
high frequency, but by convention, they're usually the same.
I used #3868 as a starting point, updated to main, removed the low-level
gilrs effect API, and moved the requests to `bevy_input` and exposed the
strong and weak intensities.
I intend this to hopefully be a non-controversial cross-platform
starting point we can build upon to eventually support more fine-grained
control (closer to the gilrs effect API)

## Changelog
### Added
- Gamepads can now be rumbled by sending the `GamepadRumbleRequest`
event.
