# Objective
Fixes#9094
## Solution
Takes a bit from
[this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9094#issuecomment-1629333851)
comment as well as a
[comment](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1128024873260810271)
from @soqb.
This allows users to opt-out of the `TypePath` implementation that is
automatically generated by the `Reflect` derive macro, allowing custom
`TypePath` implementations.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
#[reflect(type_path = false)]
struct Foo<T> {
#[reflect(ignore)]
_marker: PhantomData<T>,
}
struct NotTypePath;
impl<T: 'static> TypePath for Foo<T> {
fn type_path() -> &'static str {
std::any::type_name::<Self>()
}
fn short_type_path() -> &'static str {
static CELL: GenericTypePathCell = GenericTypePathCell::new();
CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| {
bevy_utils::get_short_name(std::any::type_name::<Self>())
})
}
fn crate_name() -> Option<&'static str> {
Some("my_crate")
}
fn module_path() -> Option<&'static str> {
Some("my_crate::foo")
}
fn type_ident() -> Option<&'static str> {
Some("Foo")
}
}
// Can use `TypePath`
let _ = <Foo<NotTypePath> as TypePath>::type_path();
// Can register the type
let mut registry = TypeRegistry::default();
registry.register::<Foo<NotTypePath>>();
```
#### Type Path Stability
The stability of type paths mainly come into play during serialization.
If a type is moved between builds, an unstable type path may become
invalid.
Users that opt-out of `TypePath` and rely on something like
`std::any::type_name` as in the example above, should be aware that this
solution removes the stability guarantees. Deserialization thus expects
that type to never move. If it does, then the serialized type paths will
need to be updated accordingly.
If a user depends on stability, they will need to implement that
stability logic manually (probably by looking at the expanded output of
a typical `Reflect`/`TypePath` derive). This could be difficult for type
parameters that don't/can't implement `TypePath`, and will need to make
heavy use of string parsing and manipulation to achieve the same effect
(alternatively, they can choose to simply exclude any type parameter
that doesn't implement `TypePath`).

## Changelog
- Added the `#[reflect(type_path = false)]` attribute to opt out of the
`TypePath` impl when deriving `Reflect`

# Objective
It seems the behavior of field attributes was accidentally broken at
some point. Take the following code:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
#[reflect(ignore, default)]
value: usize
}
```
The above code should simply mark `value` as ignored and specify a
default behavior. However, what this actually does is discard both.
That's especially a problem when we don't want the field to be be given
a `Reflect` or `FromReflect` bound (which is why we ignore it in the
first place).
This only happens when the attributes are combined into one. The
following code works properly:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
#[reflect(ignore)]
#[reflect(default)]
value: usize
}
```
## Solution
Cleaned up the field attribute parsing logic to support combined field
attributes.
---
## Changelog
- Fixed a bug where `Reflect` derive attributes on fields are not able
to be combined into a single attribute
# Objective
- Follow up to #8887
- The parsing code in `bevy_reflect/src/path/mod.rs` could also do with
some cleanup
## Solution
- Create the `parse.rs` module, move all parsing code to this module
- The parsing errors also now keep track of the whole parsed string, and
are much more fine-grained
### Detailed changes
- Move `PathParser` to `parse.rs` submodule
- Rename `token_to_access` to `access_following` (yep, goes from 132
lines to 16)
- Move parsing tests into the `parse.rs` file
# Objective
Glam 0.24 added new glam types (```I64Vec``` and ```U64Vec```). However
these are not reflectable unlike the other glam types
## Solution
Implement reflect for these new types
---
## Changelog
Implements reflect with the impl_reflect_struct macro on ```I64Vec2```,
```I64Vec3```, ```I64Vec4```, ```U64Vec2```, ```U64Vec3```, and
```U64Vec4``` types
# Objective
- The `path` module was getting fairly large.
- The code in `AccessRef::read_element` and mut equivalent was very
complex and difficult to understand.
- The `ReflectPathError` had a lot of variants, and was difficult to
read.
## Solution
- Split the file in two, `access` now has its own module
- Rewrite the `read_element` methods, they were ~200 lines long, they
are now ~70 lines long — I didn't change any of the logic. It's really
just the same code, but error handling is separated.
- Split the `ReflectPathError` error
- Merge `AccessRef` and `Access`
- A few other changes that aim to reduce code complexity
### Fully detailed change list
- `Display` impl of `ParsedPath` now includes prefix dots — this allows
simplifying its implementation, and IMO `.path.to.field` is a better way
to express a "path" than `path.to.field` which could suggest we are
reading the `to` field of a variable named `path`
- Add a test to check that dot prefixes and other are correctly parsed —
Until now, no test contained a prefixing dot
- Merge `Access` and `AccessRef`, using a `Cow<'a, str>`. Generated code
seems to agree with this decision (`ParsedPath::parse` sheds 5% of
instructions)
- Remove `Access::as_ref` since there is no such thing as an `AccessRef`
anymore.
- Rename `AccessRef::to_owned` into `AccessRef::into_owned()` since it
takes ownership of `self` now.
- Add a `parse_static` that doesn't allocate new strings for named
fields!
- Add a section about path reflection in the `bevy_reflect` crate root
doc — I saw a few people that weren't aware of path reflection, so I
thought it was pertinent to add it to the root doc
- a lot of nits
- rename `index` to `offset` when it refers to offset in the path string
— There is no more confusion with the other kind of indices in this
context, also it's a common naming convention for parsing.
- Make a dedicated enum for parsing errors
- rename the `read_element` methods to `element` — shorter, but also
`read_element_mut` was a fairly poor name
- The error values now not only contain the expected type but also the
actual type.
- Remove lifetimes that could be inferred from the `GetPath` trait
methods.
---
## Change log
- Added the `ParsedPath::parse_static` method, avoids allocating when
parsing `&'static str`.
## Migration Guide
If you were matching on the `Err(ReflectPathError)` value returned by
`GetPath` and `ParsedPath` methods, now only the parse-related errors
and the offset are publicly accessible. You can always use the
`fmt::Display` to get a clear error message, but if you need
programmatic access to the error types, please open an issue.

This attempts to make the new IRect and URect structs in bevy_math more
similar to the existing Rect struct.
## Solution
Add reflect implementations for IRect and URect, since one already
exists for Rect.

# Objective
Fix typos throughout the project.
## Solution
[`typos`](https://github.com/crate-ci/typos) project was used for
scanning, but no automatic corrections were applied. I checked
everything by hand before fixing.
Most of the changes are documentation/comments corrections. Also, there
are few trivial changes to code (variable name, pub(crate) function name
and a few error/panic messages).
## Unsolved
`bevy_reflect_derive` has
[typo](1b51053f19/crates/bevy_reflect/bevy_reflect_derive/src/type_path.rs (L76))
in enum variant name that I didn't fix. Enum is `pub(crate)`, so there
shouldn't be any trouble if fixed. However, code is tightly coupled with
macro usage, so I decided to leave it for more experienced contributor
just in case.
I created this manually as Github didn't want to run CI for the
workflow-generated PR. I'm guessing we didn't hit this in previous
releases because we used bors.

# 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 {/* ... */}
```

> **Warning**

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

* 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);
```

# Objective
- There was a deadlock discovered in the implementation of
`bevy_reflect::utility::GenericTypeCell`, when called on a recursive
type, e.g. `Vec<Vec<VariableCurve>>`
## Solution
- Drop the lock before calling the initialisation function, and then
pick it up again afterwards.
## Additional Context
- [Discussed on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1122706835284185108)
# Objective
Currently when `UntypedReflectDeserializerVisitor` deserializes a
`Box<dyn Reflect>` it only considers the first entry of the map,
silently ignoring any additional entries. For example the following RON
data:
```json
{
"f32": 1.23,
"u32": 1,
}
```
is successfully deserialized as a `f32`, completly ignoring the `"u32":
1` part.
## Solution
`UntypedReflectDeserializerVisitor` was changed to check if any other
key could be deserialized, and in that case returns an error.
---
## Changelog
`UntypedReflectDeserializer` now errors on malformed inputs instead of
silently disgarding additional data.
## Migration Guide
If you were deserializing `Box<dyn Reflect>` values with multiple
entries (i.e. entries other than `"type": { /* fields */ }`) you should
remove them or deserialization will fail.
For those who wish to be able to `#[reflect]` stuff using the `Uuid`
type
I'm very unfamiliar with the codebase, so please tell me if I'm missing
something
# Objective
`ParsedPath` does not need to be mut to access a field of a `Reflect`.
Be that access mutable or not. Yet `element_mut` requires a mutable
borrow on `self`.
## Solution
- Make `element_mut` take a `&self` over a `&mut self`.
#8887 fixes this, but this is a major limitation in the API and I'd
rather see it merged before 0.11.
---
## Changelog
- `ParsedPath::element_mut` and `ParsedPath::reflect_element_mut` now
accept a non-mutable `ParsedPath` (only the accessed `Reflect` needs to
be mutable)
# 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.

# Objective
To upgrade winit's dependency, it's useful to reuse SmolStr, which
replaces/improves the too restrictive Key letter enums.
As Input<Key> is a resource it should implement Reflect through all its

Add smol_str to bevy_reflect supported types, behind a feature flag.
This PR blocks winit's upgrade PR:

Followup to #7184
This makes `Reflect: DynamicTypePath` which allows us to remove
`Reflect::get_type_path`, reducing unnecessary codegen and simplifying
`Reflect` implementations.
# Objective
It was accidentally found that rustc is unable to parse certain
constructs in `where` clauses properly. `bevy_reflect::Reflect`'s habit
of copying and pasting the field types in a type's definition to its
`where` clauses made it very easy to accidentally run into this
behaviour - particularly with the construct
```rust
where
for<'a> fn(&'a T) -> &'a T: Trait1 + Trait2
```
which was incorrectly parsed as
```rust
where
for<'a> (fn(&'a T) -> &'a T: Trait1 + Trait2)
^ ^ incorrect syntax grouping
```
instead of
```rust
where
(for<'a> fn(&'a T) -> &'a T): Trait1 + Trait2
^ ^ correct syntax grouping
```
Fixes#8759
## Solution
This commit fixes the issue by inserting explicit parentheses to
disambiguate types from their bound lists.
# Objective
- Introduce a stable alternative to
[`std::any::type_name`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/any/fn.type_name.html).
- Rewrite of #5805 with heavy inspiration in design.
- On the path to #5830.
- Part of solving #3327.
## Solution
- Add a `TypePath` trait for static stable type path/name information.
- Add a `TypePath` derive macro.
- Add a `impl_type_path` macro for implementing internal and foreign
types in `bevy_reflect`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `TypePath` trait.
- Added `DynamicTypePath` trait and `get_type_path` method to `Reflect`.
- Added a `TypePath` derive macro.
- Added a `bevy_reflect::impl_type_path` for implementing `TypePath` on
internal and foreign types in `bevy_reflect`.
- Changed `bevy_reflect::utility::(Non)GenericTypeInfoCell` to
`(Non)GenericTypedCell<T>` which allows us to be generic over both
`TypeInfo` and `TypePath`.
- `TypePath` is now a supertrait of `Asset`, `Material` and
`Material2d`.
- `impl_reflect_struct` needs a `#[type_path = "..."]` attribute to be
specified.
- `impl_reflect_value` needs to either specify path starting with a
double colon (`::core::option::Option`) or an `in my_crate::foo`
declaration.
- Added `bevy_reflect_derive::ReflectTypePath`.
- Most uses of `Ident` in `bevy_reflect_derive` changed to use
`ReflectTypePath`.
## Migration Guide
- Implementors of `Asset`, `Material` and `Material2d` now also need to
derive `TypePath`.
- Manual implementors of `Reflect` will need to implement the new
`get_type_path` method.
## Open Questions
- [x] ~This PR currently does not migrate any usages of
`std::any::type_name` to use `bevy_reflect::TypePath` to ease the review
process. Should it?~ Migration will be left to a follow-up PR.
- [ ] This PR adds a lot of `#[derive(TypePath)]` and `T: TypePath` to
satisfy new bounds, mostly when deriving `TypeUuid`. Should we make
`TypePath` a supertrait of `TypeUuid`? [Should we remove `TypeUuid` in
favour of
`TypePath`?](2afbd85532 (r961067892))
# Objective
Fixes#8596
## Solution
Change interface of the trait Map. Adjust implementations of this trait
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Interface of Map trait
### Added
- `Map::get_at_mut`
## Migration Guide
Every implementor of Map trait would need to implement `get_at_mut`.
Which, judging by changes in this PR, should be fairly trivial.
# Objective
Right now it's impossible to construct a MapIter outside of the
bevy_reflect crate, making it impossible to implement the Map trait for
custom map types.
## Solution
Addition of a pub constructor to MapIter.
# Objective
When using `FromReflect`, fields can be optionally left out if they are
marked with `#[reflect(default)]`. This is very handy for working with
serialized data as giant structs only need to list a subset of defined
fields in order to be constructed.
<details>
<summary>Example</summary>
Take the following struct:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, FromReflect)]
struct Foo {
#[reflect(default)]
a: usize,
#[reflect(default)]
b: usize,
#[reflect(default)]
c: usize,
#[reflect(default)]
d: usize,
}
```
Since all the fields are default-able, we can successfully call
`FromReflect` on deserialized data like:
```rust
(
"foo::Foo": (
// Only set `b` and default the rest
b: 123
)
)
```
</details>
Unfortunately, this does not work with fields in enum variants. Marking
a variant field as `#[reflect(default)]` does nothing when calling
`FromReflect`.
## Solution
Allow enum variant fields to define a default value using
`#[reflect(default)]`.
### `#[reflect(Default)]`
One thing that structs and tuple structs can do is use their `Default`
implementation when calling `FromReflect`. Adding `#[reflect(Default)]`
to the struct or tuple struct both registers `ReflectDefault` and alters
the `FromReflect` implementation to use `Default` to generate any
missing fields.
This works well enough for structs and tuple structs, but for enums it's
not as simple. Since the `Default` implementation for an enum only
covers a single variant, it's not as intuitive as to what the behavior
will be. And (imo) it feels weird that we would be able to specify
default values in this way for one variant but not the others.
Because of this, I chose to not implement that behavior here. However,
I'm open to adding it in if anyone feels otherwise.
---
## Changelog
- Allow enum variant fields to define a default value using
`#[reflect(default)]`
# Objective
- Add Reflect and FromReflect for AssetPath
- Fixes#8458
## Solution
- Straightforward derive of `Reflect` and `FromReflect` for `AssetPath`
- Implement `Reflect` and `FromReflect` for `Cow<'static, Path>` as to
satisfy the 'static lifetime requierments of bevy_reflect.
Implementation is a direct copy of that for `Cow<'static, str>` so maybe
it begs the question that was already asked in #7429 - maybe it would be
benefitial to write a general implementation for `Reflect` for
`Cow<'static, T>`.
# Objective
> This PR is based on discussion from #6601
The Dynamic types (e.g. `DynamicStruct`, `DynamicList`, etc.) act as
both:
1. Dynamic containers which may hold any arbitrary data
2. Proxy types which may represent any other type
Currently, the only way we can represent the proxy-ness of a Dynamic is
by giving it a name.
```rust
// This is just a dynamic container
let mut data = DynamicStruct::default();
// This is a "proxy"
data.set_name(std::any::type_name::<Foo>());
```
This type name is the only way we check that the given Dynamic is a
proxy of some other type. When we need to "assert the type" of a `dyn
Reflect`, we call `Reflect::type_name` on it. However, because we're
only using a string to denote the type, we run into a few gotchas and
limitations.
For example, hashing a Dynamic proxy may work differently than the type
it proxies:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, Hash)]
#[reflect(Hash)]
struct Foo(i32);
let concrete = Foo(123);
let dynamic = concrete.clone_dynamic();
let concrete_hash = concrete.reflect_hash();
let dynamic_hash = dynamic.reflect_hash();
// The hashes are not equal because `concrete` uses its own `Hash` impl
// while `dynamic` uses a reflection-based hashing algorithm
assert_ne!(concrete_hash, dynamic_hash);
```
Because the Dynamic proxy only knows about the name of the type, it's
unaware of any other information about it. This means it also differs on
`Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`, and may include ignored or skipped fields
in places the concrete type wouldn't.
## Solution
Rather than having Dynamics pass along just the type name of proxied
types, we can instead have them pass around the `TypeInfo`.
Now all Dynamic types contain an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than
a `String`:
```diff
pub struct DynamicTupleStruct {
- type_name: String,
+ represented_type: Option<&'static TypeInfo>,
fields: Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>>,
}
```
By changing `Reflect::get_type_info` to
`Reflect::represented_type_info`, hopefully we make this behavior a
little clearer. And to account for `None` values on these dynamic types,
`Reflect::represented_type_info` now returns `Option<&'static
TypeInfo>`.
```rust
let mut data = DynamicTupleStruct::default();
// Not proxying any specific type
assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_none());
let type_info = <Foo as Typed>::type_info();
dyn_tuple_struct.set_represented_type(Some(type_info));
// Alternatively:
// let dyn_tuple_struct = foo.clone_dynamic();
// Now we're proxying `Foo`
assert!(dyn_tuple_struct.represented_type_info().is_some());
```
This means that we can have full access to all the static type
information for the proxied type. Future work would include
transitioning more static type information (trait impls, attributes,
etc.) over to the `TypeInfo` so it can actually be utilized by Dynamic
proxies.
### Alternatives & Rationale
> **Note**
> These alternatives were written when this PR was first made using a
`Proxy` trait. This trait has since been removed.
<details>
<summary>View</summary>
#### Alternative: The `Proxy<T>` Approach
I had considered adding something like a `Proxy<T>` type where `T` would
be the Dynamic and would contain the proxied type information.
This was nice in that it allows us to explicitly determine whether
something is a proxy or not at a type level. `Proxy<DynamicStruct>`
proxies a struct. Makes sense.
The reason I didn't go with this approach is because (1) tuples, (2)
complexity, and (3) `PartialReflect`.
The `DynamicTuple` struct allows us to represent tuples at runtime. It
also allows us to do something you normally can't with tuples: add new
fields. Because of this, adding a field immediately invalidates the
proxy (e.g. our info for `(i32, i32)` doesn't apply to `(i32, i32,
NewField)`). By going with this PR's approach, we can just remove the
type info on `DynamicTuple` when that happens. However, with the
`Proxy<T>` approach, it becomes difficult to represent this behavior—
we'd have to completely control how we access data for `T` for each `T`.
Secondly, it introduces some added complexities (aside from the manual
impls for each `T`). Does `Proxy<T>` impl `Reflect`? Likely yes, if we
want to represent it as `dyn Reflect`. What `TypeInfo` do we give it?
How would we forward reflection methods to the inner type (remember, we
don't have specialization)? How do we separate this from Dynamic types?
And finally, how do all this in a way that's both logical and intuitive
for users?
Lastly, introducing a `Proxy` trait rather than a `Proxy<T>` struct is
actually more inline with the [Unique Reflect
RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/56). In a way, the `Proxy`
trait is really one part of the `PartialReflect` trait introduced in
that RFC (it's technically not in that RFC but it fits well with it),
where the `PartialReflect` serves as a way for proxies to work _like_
concrete types without having full access to everything a concrete
`Reflect` type can do. This would help bridge the gap between the
current state of the crate and the implementation of that RFC.
All that said, this is still a viable solution. If the community
believes this is the better path forward, then we can do that instead.
These were just my reasons for not initially going with it in this PR.
#### Alternative: The Type Registry Approach
The `Proxy` trait is great and all, but how does it solve the original
problem? Well, it doesn't— yet!
The goal would be to start moving information from the derive macro and
its attributes to the generated `TypeInfo` since these are known
statically and shouldn't change. For example, adding `ignored: bool` to
`[Un]NamedField` or a list of impls.
However, there is another way of storing this information. This is, of
course, one of the uses of the `TypeRegistry`. If we're worried about
Dynamic proxies not aligning with their concrete counterparts, we could
move more type information to the registry and require its usage.
For example, we could replace `Reflect::reflect_hash(&self)` with
`Reflect::reflect_hash(&self, registry: &TypeRegistry)`.
That's not the _worst_ thing in the world, but it is an ergonomics loss.
Additionally, other attributes may have their own requirements, further
restricting what's possible without the registry. The `Reflect::apply`
method will require the registry as well now. Why? Well because the
`map_apply` function used for the `Reflect::apply` impls on `Map` types
depends on `Map::insert_boxed`, which (at least for `DynamicMap`)
requires `Reflect::reflect_hash`. The same would apply when adding
support for reflection-based diffing, which will require
`Reflect::reflect_partial_eq`.
Again, this is a totally viable alternative. I just chose not to go with
it for the reasons above. If we want to go with it, then we can close
this PR and we can pursue this alternative instead.
#### Downsides
Just to highlight a quick potential downside (likely needs more
investigation): retrieving the `TypeInfo` requires acquiring a lock on
the `GenericTypeInfoCell` used by the `Typed` impls for generic types
(non-generic types use a `OnceBox which should be faster). I am not sure
how much of a performance hit that is and will need to run some
benchmarks to compare against.
</details>
### Open Questions
1. Should we use `Cow<'static, TypeInfo>` instead? I think that might be
easier for modding? Perhaps, in that case, we need to update
`Typed::type_info` and friends as well?
2. Are the alternatives better than the approach this PR takes? Are
there other alternatives?

## Changelog
### Changed
- `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to
`Reflect::represented_type_info`
- This method now returns `Option<&'static TypeInfo>` rather than just
`&'static TypeInfo`
### Added
- Added `Reflect::is_dynamic` method to indicate when a type is dynamic
- Added a `set_represented_type` method on all dynamic types
### Removed
- Removed `TypeInfo::Dynamic` (use `Reflect::is_dynamic` instead)
- Removed `Typed` impls for all dynamic types
## Migration Guide
- The Dynamic types no longer take a string type name. Instead, they
require a static reference to `TypeInfo`:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct MyTupleStruct(f32, f32);
let mut dyn_tuple_struct = DynamicTupleStruct::default();
dyn_tuple_struct.insert(1.23_f32);
dyn_tuple_struct.insert(3.21_f32);
// BEFORE:
let type_name = std::any::type_name::<MyTupleStruct>();
dyn_tuple_struct.set_name(type_name);
// AFTER:
let type_info = <MyTupleStruct as Typed>::type_info();
dyn_tuple_struct.set_represented_type(Some(type_info));
```
- `Reflect::get_type_info` has been renamed to
`Reflect::represented_type_info` and now also returns an
`Option<&'static TypeInfo>` (instead of just `&'static TypeInfo`):
```rust
// BEFORE:
let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.get_type_info();
// AFTER:
let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.represented_type_info().unwrap();
```
- `TypeInfo::Dynamic` and `DynamicInfo` has been removed. Use
`Reflect::is_dynamic` instead:
```rust
// BEFORE:
if matches!(value.get_type_info(), TypeInfo::Dynamic) {
// ...
}
// AFTER:
if value.is_dynamic() {
// ...
}
```

# Objective
Considering that `FromReflect` is a very common trait to derive, it
would make sense to include `ReflectFromReflect` in the `bevy_reflect`
prelude so users don't need to import it separately.
## Solution
Add `ReflectFromReflect` to the prelude.
Links in the api docs are nice. I noticed that there were several places
where structs / functions and other things were referenced in the docs,
but weren't linked. I added the links where possible / logical.

# Objective
The clippy lint `type_complexity` is known not to play well with bevy.
It frequently triggers when writing complex queries, and taking the
lint's advice of using a type alias almost always just obfuscates the
code with no benefit. Because of this, this lint is currently ignored in
CI, but unfortunately it still shows up when viewing bevy code in an
IDE.
As someone who's made a fair amount of pull requests to this repo, I
will say that this issue has been a consistent thorn in my side. Since
bevy code is filled with spurious, ignorable warnings, it can be very
difficult to spot the *real* warnings that must be fixed -- most of the
time I just ignore all warnings, only to later find out that one of them
was real after I'm done when CI runs.
## Solution
Suppress this lint in all bevy crates. This was previously attempted in
#7050, but the review process ended up making it more complicated than
it needs to be and landed on a subpar solution.
The discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/10571
explores some better long-term solutions to this problem. Since there is
no timeline on when these solutions may land, we should resolve this
issue in the meantime by locally suppressing these lints.
### Unresolved issues
Currently, these lints are not suppressed in our examples, since that
would require suppressing the lint in every single source file. They are
still ignored in CI.
# Objective
Fix typo in bevy_reflect README: `MyType` is a struct and not a trait,
so `&dyn MyType` is incorrect.
## Solution
Replace `&dyn MyType` with `&dyn DoThing`
# Objective
Fixes#7989
Based on #7991 by @CoffeeVampir3
## Solution
There were three parts to this issue:
1. `extend_where_clause` did not account for the optionality of a where
clause's trailing comma
```rust
// OKAY
struct Foo<T> where T: Asset, {/* ... */}
// ERROR
struct Foo<T> where T: Asset {/* ... */}
```
2. `FromReflect` derive logic was not actively using
`extend_where_clause` which led to some inconsistencies (enums weren't
adding _any_ additional bounds even)
3. Using `extend_where_clause` in the `FromReflect` derive logic meant
we had to optionally add `Default` bounds to ignored fields iff the
entire item itself was not already `Default` (otherwise the definition
for `Handle<T>` wouldn't compile since `HandleType` doesn't impl
`Default` but `Handle<T>` itself does)
---
## Changelog
- Fixed issue where a missing trailing comma could break the reflection
derives
# Objective
- Update `glam` to the latest version.
## Solution
- Update `glam` to version `0.23`.
Since the breaking change in `glam` only affects the `scalar-math` feature, this should cause no issues.
# Objective
Implement `Reflect` for `std::collections::HashMap<K, V, S>` as well as `hashbrown::HashMap<K, V, S>` rather than just for `hashbrown::HashMap<K, V, RandomState>`. Fixes#7739.
## Solution
Rather than implementing on `HashMap<K, V>` I instead implemented most of the related traits on `HashMap<K, V, S> where S: BuildHasher + Send + Sync + 'static` and then `FromReflect` also needs the extra bound `S: Default` because it needs to use `with_capacity_and_hasher` so needs to be able to generate a default hasher.
As the API of `hashbrown::HashMap` is identical to `collections::HashMap` making them both work just required creating an `impl_reflect_for_hashmap` macro like the `impl_reflect_for_veclike` above and then applying this to both HashMaps.
---
## Changelog
`std::collections::HashMap` can now be reflected. Also more `State` generics than just `RandomState` can now be reflected for both `hashbrown::HashMap` and `collections::HashMap`
# Objective
There were a couple primitive types missing from the default `TypeRegistry` constructor.
## Solution
Added the missing registrations for `char` and `String`.
# Objective
`cargo run -p ci` is currently failing locally for me.

It's not clear to me why CI/clippy didn't pick this up in #6633.
# Objective
`bevy_reflect` can be a moderately complex crate to try and understand. It has many moving parts, a handful of gotchas, and a few subtle contracts that aren't immediately obvious to users and even other contributors.
The current README does an okay job demonstrating how the crate can be used. However, the crate's actual documentation should give a better overview of the crate, its inner-workings, and show some of its own examples.
## Solution
Added crate-level documentation that attempts to summarize the main parts of `bevy_reflect` into small sections.
This PR also updates the documentation for:
- `Reflect`
- `FromReflect`
- The reflection subtraits
- Other important types and traits
- The reflection macros (including the derive macros)
- Crate features
### Open Questions
1. ~~Should I update the docs for the Dynamic types? I was originally going to, but I'm getting a little concerned about the size of this PR 😅~~ Decided to not do this in this PR. It'll be better served from its own PR.
2. Should derive macro documentation be moved to the trait itself? This could improve visibility and allow for better doc links, but could also clutter up the trait's documentation (as well as not being on the actual derive macro's documentation).
### TODO
- [ ] ~~Document Dynamic types (?)~~ I think this should be done in a separate PR.
- [x] Document crate features
- [x] Update docs for `GetTypeRegistration`
- [x] Update docs for `TypeRegistration`
- [x] Update docs for `derive_from_reflect`
- [x] Document `reflect_trait`
- [x] Document `impl_reflect_value`
- [x] Document `impl_from_reflect_value`

## Changelog
- Updated documentation across the `bevy_reflect` crate
- Removed `#[module]` helper attribute for `Reflect` derives (this is not currently used)
## Migration Guide
- Removed `#[module]` helper attribute for `Reflect` derives. If your code is relying on this attribute, please replace it with either `#[reflect]` or `#[reflect_value]` (dependent on use-case).

# Objective
- bevy_ggrs uses `reflect_hash` in order to produce checksums for its world snapshots. These checksums are sent between clients in order to detect desyncronization.
- However, since we currently use `async::AHasher` with the `std` feature, this means that hashes will always be different for different peers, even if the state is identical.
- This means bevy_ggrs needs a way to get a deterministic (fixed) hash.
## Solution
- ~~Add a feature to use `bevy_utils::FixedState` for the hasher used by bevy_reflect.~~
- Always use `bevy_utils::FixedState` for initializing the bevy_reflect hasher.
---
## Changelog
- bevy_reflect now uses a fixed state for its hasher, which means the output of `Reflect::reflect_hash` is now deterministic across processes.
# Objective
- Fixes#5432
- Fixes#6680
## Solution
- move code responsible for generating the `impl TypeUuid` from `type_uuid_derive` into a new function, `gen_impl_type_uuid`.
- this allows the new proc macro, `impl_type_uuid`, to call the code for generation.
- added struct `TypeUuidDef` and implemented `syn::Parse` to allow parsing of the input for the new macro.
- finally, used the new macro `impl_type_uuid` to implement `TypeUuid` for the standard library (in `crates/bevy_reflect/src/type_uuid_impl.rs`).
- fixes#6680 by doing a wrapping add of the param's index to its `TYPE_UUID`

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