There are some outdated error messages for when a resource is not found. It references `add_resource` and `add_non_send_resource` which were renamed to `insert_resource` and `insert_non_send_resource`.
# Objective
- Simplify the process of obtaining a `ComponentId` instance corresponding to a `Component`.
- Resolves#5060.
## Solution
- Add a `component_id::<T: Component>(&self)` function to both `World` and `Components` to retrieve the `ComponentId` associated with `T` from a immutable reference.
---
## Changelog
- Added `World::component_id::<C>()` and `Components::component_id::<C>()` to retrieve a `Component`'s corresponding `ComponentId` if it exists.
# Objective
Closes#1557. Partially addresses #3362.
Cleanup the public facing API for storage types. Most of these APIs are difficult to use safely when directly interfacing with these types, and is also currently impossible to interact with in normal ECS use as there is no `World::storages_mut`. The majority of these types should be easy enough to read, and perhaps mutate the contents, but never structurally altered without the same checks in the rest of bevy_ecs code. This both cleans up the public facing types and helps use unused code detection to remove a few of the APIs we're not using internally.
## Solution
- Mark all APIs that take `&mut T` under `bevy_ecs::storage` as `pub(crate)` or `pub(super)`
- Cleanup after it all.
Entire type visibility changes:
- `BlobVec` is `pub(super)`, only storage code should be directly interacting with it.
- `SparseArray` is now `pub(crate)` for the entire type. It's an implementation detail for `Table` and `(Component)SparseSet`.
- `TableMoveResult` is now `pub(crate)

## Changelog
TODO
## Migration Guide
Dear God, I hope not.
# Objective
Most of our `Iterator` impls satisfy the requirements of `std::iter::FusedIterator`, which has internal specialization that optimizes `Interator::fuse`. The std lib iterator combinators do have a few that rely on `fuse`, so this could optimize those use cases. I don't think we're using any of them in the engine itself, but beyond a light increase in compile time, it doesn't hurt to implement the trait.
## Solution
Implement the trait for all eligible iterators in first party crates. Also add a missing `ExactSizeIterator` on an iterator that could use it.
# Objective
Even if bevy itself does not provide any builtin scripting or modding APIs, it should have the foundations for building them yourself.
For that it should be enough to have APIs that are not tied to the actual rust types with generics, but rather accept `ComponentId`s and `bevy_ptr` ptrs.
## Solution
Add the following APIs to bevy
```rust
fn EntityRef::get_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'w>>;
fn EntityMut::get_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'_>>;
fn EntityMut::get_mut_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<MutUntyped<'_>>;
fn World::get_resource_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'_>>;
fn World::get_resource_mut_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<MutUntyped<'_>>;
// Safety: `value` must point to a valid value of the component
unsafe fn World::insert_resource_by_id(ComponentId, value: OwningPtr);
fn ComponentDescriptor::new_with_layout(..) -> Self;
fn World::init_component_with_descriptor(ComponentDescriptor) -> ComponentId;
```
~~This PR would definitely benefit from #3001 (lifetime'd pointers) to make sure that the lifetimes of the pointers are valid and the my-move pointer in `insert_resource_by_id` could be an `OwningPtr`, but that can be adapter later if/when #3001 is merged.~~
### Not in this PR
- inserting components on entities (this is very tied to types with bundles and the `BundleInserter`)
- an untyped version of a query (needs good API design, has a large implementation complexity, can be done in a third-party crate)
Co-authored-by: Jakob Hellermann <hellermann@sipgate.de>
# Objective
The pointer types introduced in #3001 are useful not just in `bevy_ecs`, but also in crates like `bevy_reflect` (#4475) or even outside of bevy.
## Solution
Extract `Ptr<'a>`, `PtrMut<'a>`, `OwnedPtr<'a>`, `ThinSlicePtr<'a, T>` and `UnsafeCellDeref` from `bevy_ecs::ptr` into `bevy_ptr`.
**Note:** `bevy_ecs` still reexports the `bevy_ptr` as `bevy_ecs::ptr` so that crates like `bevy_transform` can use the `Bundle` derive without needing to depend on `bevy_ptr` themselves.
# Objective
`bevy_ecs` has large amounts of unsafe code which is hard to get right and makes it difficult to audit for soundness.
## Solution
Introduce lifetimed, type-erased pointers: `Ptr<'a>` `PtrMut<'a>` `OwningPtr<'a>'` and `ThinSlicePtr<'a, T>` which are newtypes around a raw pointer with a lifetime and conceptually representing strong invariants about the pointee and validity of the pointer.
The process of converting bevy_ecs to use these has already caught multiple cases of unsound behavior.
## Changelog
TL;DR for release notes: `bevy_ecs` now uses lifetimed, type-erased pointers internally, significantly improving safety and legibility without sacrificing performance. This should have approximately no end user impact, unless you were meddling with the (unfortunately public) internals of `bevy_ecs`.
- `Fetch`, `FilterFetch` and `ReadOnlyFetch` trait no longer have a `'state` lifetime
- this was unneeded
- `ReadOnly/Fetch` associated types on `WorldQuery` are now on a new `WorldQueryGats<'world>` trait
- was required to work around lack of Generic Associated Types (we wish to express `type Fetch<'a>: Fetch<'a>`)
- `derive(WorldQuery)` no longer requires `'w` lifetime on struct
- this was unneeded, and improves the end user experience
- `EntityMut::get_unchecked_mut` returns `&'_ mut T` not `&'w mut T`
- allows easier use of unsafe API with less footguns, and can be worked around via lifetime transmutery as a user
- `Bundle::from_components` now takes a `ctx` parameter to pass to the `FnMut` closure
- required because closure return types can't borrow from captures
- `Fetch::init` takes `&'world World`, `Fetch::set_archetype` takes `&'world Archetype` and `&'world Tables`, `Fetch::set_table` takes `&'world Table`
- allows types implementing `Fetch` to store borrows into world
- `WorldQuery` trait now has a `shrink` fn to shorten the lifetime in `Fetch::<'a>::Item`
- this works around lack of subtyping of assoc types, rust doesnt allow you to turn `<T as Fetch<'static>>::Item'` into `<T as Fetch<'a>>::Item'`
- `QueryCombinationsIter` requires this
- Most types implementing `Fetch` now have a lifetime `'w`
- allows the fetches to store borrows of world data instead of using raw pointers
## Migration guide
- `EntityMut::get_unchecked_mut` returns a more restricted lifetime, there is no general way to migrate this as it depends on your code
- `Bundle::from_components` implementations must pass the `ctx` arg to `func`
- `Bundle::from_components` callers have to use a fn arg instead of closure captures for borrowing from world
- Remove lifetime args on `derive(WorldQuery)` structs as it is nonsensical
- `<Q as WorldQuery>::ReadOnly/Fetch` should be changed to either `RO/QueryFetch<'world>` or `<Q as WorldQueryGats<'world>>::ReadOnly/Fetch`
- `<F as Fetch<'w, 's>>` should be changed to `<F as Fetch<'w>>`
- Change the fn sigs of `Fetch::init/set_archetype/set_table` to match respective trait fn sigs
- Implement the required `fn shrink` on any `WorldQuery` implementations
- Move assoc types `Fetch` and `ReadOnlyFetch` on `WorldQuery` impls to `WorldQueryGats` impls
- Pass an appropriate `'world` lifetime to whatever fetch struct you are for some reason using
### Type inference regression
in some cases rustc may give spurrious errors when attempting to infer the `F` parameter on a query/querystate this can be fixed by manually specifying the type, i.e. `QueryState:🆕:<_, ()>(world)`. The error is rather confusing:
```rust=
error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<() as Fetch<'_>>::Item == bool`
--> crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/light.rs:1413:30
|
1413 | main_view_query: QueryState::new(world),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `bool`, found `()`
|
= note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `for<'x> FilterFetch<'x>` for `<() as WorldQueryGats<'x>>::Fetch`
note: required by a bound in `bevy_ecs::query::QueryState::<Q, F>::new`
--> crates/bevy_ecs/src/query/state.rs:49:32
|
49 | for<'x> QueryFetch<'x, F>: FilterFetch<'x>,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ required by this bound in `bevy_ecs::query::QueryState::<Q, F>::new`
```

# Objective
- `EntityRef` and `EntityMut` are surpisingly important public types when working directly with the `World`.
- They're undocumented.
## Solution
- Just add docs!
The only way to soundly use this API is already encapsulated within `EntityMut::get`, so this api is removed.
# Migration guide
Replace calls to `EntityMut::get_unchecked` with calls to `EntityMut::get`.
# Objective
- Provide more information when despawning an entity
## Solution
- Add a debug log when despawning an entity
- Add spans to the recursive ways of despawning an entity
```sh
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example panic --features trace
# RUST_LOG=debug needed to show debug logs from bevy_ecs
# --features trace needed to have the extra spans
...
DEBUG bevy_app:frame:stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="panic::despawn_parent"}:command{name="DespawnRecursive" entity=0v0}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 1v0
DEBUG bevy_app:frame:stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="panic::despawn_parent"}:command{name="DespawnRecursive" entity=0v0}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 0v0
```
Fixes#3408#3001 also solves this but I dont see it getting merged any time soon so...
# Objective
make bevy ecs a lil bit less unsound
## Solution
make `EntityMut::get_component_mut` return borrows from self instead of `'w`
# Objective
make bevy ecs a lil bit less unsound
## Solution
make unsound API unsafe so that there is an unsafe block to blame:
```rust
use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
#[derive(Debug, Component)]
struct Foo(u8);
fn main() {
let mut world = World::new();
let e1 = world.spawn().id();
let e2 = world.spawn().insert(Foo(2)).id();
world.entities_mut().meta[0] = world.entities_mut().meta[1].clone();
let foo = world.entity(e1).get::<Foo>().unwrap();
// whoo i love having components i dont have
dbg!(foo);
}
```
This is not _strictly_ speaking UB, however:
- `Query::get_multiple` cannot work if this is allowed
- bevy_ecs is a pile of unsafe code whose soundness generally depends on the world being in a "correct" state with "no funny business" so it seems best to disallow this
- it is trivial to get bevy to panic inside of functions with safety invariants that have been violated (the entity location is not valid)
- it seems to violate what the safety invariant on `Entities::flush` is trying to ensure
# Objective
make bevy ecs a lil bit less unsound
## Solution
yeet unsound API `World::components_mut`:
```rust
use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
#[derive(Component)]
struct Foo(u8);
#[derive(Debug, Component)]
struct Bar([u8; 100]);
fn main() {
let mut world = World::new();
let e = world.spawn().insert(Foo(0)).id();
*world.components_mut() = Default::default();
let bar = world.entity_mut(e).remove::<Bar>().unwrap();
// oopsies reading memory copied from outside allocation
dbg!(bar);
}
```
# Objective
- In the large majority of cases, users were calling `.unwrap()` immediately after `.get_resource`.
- Attempting to add more helpful error messages here resulted in endless manual boilerplate (see #3899 and the linked PRs).
## Solution
- Add an infallible variant named `.resource` and so on.
- Use these infallible variants over `.get_resource().unwrap()` across the code base.
## Notes
I did not provide equivalent methods on `WorldCell`, in favor of removing it entirely in #3939.
## Migration Guide
Infallible variants of `.get_resource` have been added that implicitly panic, rather than needing to be unwrapped.
Replace `world.get_resource::<Foo>().unwrap()` with `world.resource::<Foo>()`.
## Impact
- `.unwrap` search results before: 1084
- `.unwrap` search results after: 942
- internal `unwrap_or_else` calls added: 4
- trivial unwrap calls removed from tests and code: 146
- uses of the new `try_get_resource` API: 11
- percentage of the time the unwrapping API was used internally: 93%
# Objective
- `SystemStates` rock for dealing with exclusive world access, but are hard to figure out how to use.
- Fixes#3341.
## Solution
- Clearly document how to use `SystemState`, and why they're useful as an end-user.
What is says on the tin.
This has got more to do with making `clippy` slightly more *quiet* than it does with changing anything that might greatly impact readability or performance.
that said, deriving `Default` for a couple of structs is a nice easy win
# Objective
- Fixes#3078
- Fixes#1397
## Solution
- Implement Commands::init_resource.
- Also implement for World, for consistency and to simplify internal structure.
- While we're here, clean up some of the docs for Command and World resource modification.
# Objective
Calling forget would invalidate the data pointer before it is used.
## Solution
Use `ManuallyDrop` to prevent the value from being dropped without moving it.
# Objective
Fixes#3566
## Solution
- [x] Fix broken links in private docs.
- [x] Add the `--document-private-items` flag to the CI.
## Note
The following was said by @killercup in #3566:
> I don't have time to confirm this but I assume that linking to private items throws an error/warning when just running cargo doc, and --document-private-item might actually hide that warning. So to test this, you'd have to run it twice.
I tested this and this is thankfully not the case. If you are linking to a private item you will get a warning no matter if you run `cargo doc` or `cargo doc --document-private-items`.
### Example
I added `struct Test;` to `bevy_core/src/name.rs` and linked to it inside of a doc comment using ``[`Test`]``. After that I ran `cargo doc -p bevy_core --document-private-items` using `RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings"` and got the following output (note the last sentence):
```rust
error: public documentation for `Name` links to private item `Test`
--> crates/bevy_core/src/name.rs:11:82
|
11 | /// Component used to identify an entity. Stores a hash for faster comparisons [`Test`]
| ^^^^ this item is private
|
= note: `-D rustdoc::private-intra-doc-links` implied by `-D warnings`
= note: this link resolves only because you passed `--document-private-items`, but will break without
```
# Objective
- Calling .id() has no purpose unless you use the Entity returned
- This is an easy source of confusion for beginners.
- This is easily missed during refactors.
## Solution
- Mark the appropriate methods as #[must_use]
#3457 adds the `doc_markdown` clippy lint, which checks doc comments to make sure code identifiers are escaped with backticks. This causes a lot of lint errors, so this is one of a number of PR's that will fix those lint errors one crate at a time.
This PR fixes lints in the `bevy_ecs` crate.
# Objective
I thought I'd have a go a trying to fix#2597.
Hopefully fixes#2597.
## Solution
I reused the memory pointed to by the value parameter, that is already required by `insert` to not be dropped, to contain the extracted value while dropping it.
Add the entity ID and generation to the expect() message of two
world accessors, to make it easier to debug use-after-free issues.
Coupled with e.g. bevy-inspector-egui which also displays the entity ID,
this makes it much easier to identify what entity is being misused.
# Objective
Make it easier to identity an entity being accessed after being deleted.
## Solution
Augment the error message of some `expect()` call with the entity ID and
generation. Combined with some external tool like `bevy-inspector-egui`, which
also displays the entity ID, this increases the chances to be able to identify
the entity, and therefore find the error that led to a use-after-despawn.
This implements the most minimal variant of #1843 - a derive for marker trait. This is a prerequisite to more complicated features like statically defined storage type or opt-out component reflection.
In order to make component struct's purpose explicit and avoid misuse, it must be annotated with `#[derive(Component)]` (manual impl is discouraged for compatibility). Right now this is just a marker trait, but in the future it might be expanded. Making this change early allows us to make further changes later without breaking backward compatibility for derive macro users.
This already prevents a lot of issues, like using bundles in `insert` calls. Primitive types are no longer valid components as well. This can be easily worked around by adding newtype wrappers and deriving `Component` for them.
One funny example of prevented bad code (from our own tests) is when an newtype struct or enum variant is used. Previously, it was possible to write `insert(Newtype)` instead of `insert(Newtype(value))`. That code compiled, because function pointers (in this case newtype struct constructor) implement `Send + Sync + 'static`, so we allowed them to be used as components. This is no longer the case and such invalid code will trigger a compile error.

# Objective
Fixes these issues:
- `WorldId`s currently aren't necessarily unique
- I want to guarantee that they're unique to safeguard my librarified version of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/2805
- There probably hasn't been a collision yet, but they could technically collide
- `SystemId` isn't used for anything
- It's no longer used now that `Locals` are stored within the `System`.
- `bevy_ecs` depends on rand
## Solution
- Instead of randomly generating `WorldId`s, just use an incrementing atomic counter, panicing on overflow.
- Remove `SystemId`
- We do need to allow Locals for exclusive systems at some point, but exclusive systems couldn't access their own `SystemId` anyway.
- Now that these don't depend on rand, move it to a dev-dependency
## Todo
Determine if `WorldId` should be `u32` based instead
Changed out unwraps to use if let syntax instead. Returning false when None.
Also modified an existing test to encompass these methods
This PR fixes#2828
## Objective
The upcoming Bevy Book makes many references to the API documentation of bevy.
Most references belong to the first two chapters of the Bevy Book:
- bevyengine/bevy-website#176
- bevyengine/bevy-website#182
This PR attempts to improve the documentation of `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app` in order to help readers of the Book who want to delve deeper into technical details.
## Solution
- Add crate and level module documentation
- Document the most important items (basically those included in the preludes), with the following style, where applicable:
- **Summary.** Short description of the item.
- **Second paragraph.** Detailed description of the item, without going too much in the implementation.
- **Code example(s).**
- **Safety or panic notes.**
## Collaboration
Any kind of collaboration is welcome, especially corrections, wording, new ideas and guidelines on where the focus should be put in.

### Related issues
- Fixes#2246
This upstreams the code changes used by the new renderer to enable cross-app Entity reuse:
* Spawning at specific entities
* get_or_spawn: spawns an entity if it doesn't already exist and returns an EntityMut
* insert_or_spawn_batch: the batched equivalent to `world.get_or_spawn(entity).insert_bundle(bundle)`
* Clearing entities and storages
* Allocating Entities with "invalid" archetypes. These entities cannot be queried / are treated as "non existent". They serve as "reserved" entities that won't show up when calling `spawn()`. They must be "specifically spawned at" using apis like `get_or_spawn(entity)`.
In combination, these changes enable the "render world" to clear entities / storages each frame and reserve all "app world entities". These can then be spawned during the "render extract step".
This refactors "spawn" and "insert" code in a way that I think is a massive improvement to legibility and re-usability. It also yields marginal performance wins by reducing some duplicate lookups (less than a percentage point improvement on insertion benchmarks). There is also some potential for future unsafe reduction (by making BatchSpawner and BatchInserter generic). But for now I want to cut down generic usage to a minimum to encourage smaller binaries and faster compiles.
This is currently a draft because it needs more tests (although this code has already had some real-world testing on my custom-shaders branch).
I also fixed the benchmarks (which currently don't compile!) / added new ones to illustrate batching wins.
After these changes, Bevy ECS is basically ready to accommodate the new renderer. I think the biggest missing piece at this point is "sub apps".
This logic was in both `remove_bundle` and ` remove_bundle_intersection` but only differed by whether we call `.._forget_missing_..` or `.._drop_missing_..`
Continuing the work on reducing the safety footguns in the code, I've removed one extra `UnsafeCell` in favour of safe `Cell` usage inisde `ComponentTicks`. That change led to discovery of misbehaving component insert logic, where data wasn't properly dropped when overwritten. Apart from that being fixed, some method names were changed to better convey the "initialize new allocation" and "replace existing allocation" semantic.
Depends on #2221, I will rebase this PR after the dependency is merged. For now, review just the last commit.

`ResMut`, `Mut` and `ReflectMut` all share very similar code for change detection.
This PR is a first pass at refactoring these implementation and removing a lot of the duplicated code.
Note, this introduces a new trait `ChangeDetectable`.
Please feel free to comment away and let me know what you think!
I've noticed that we are overusing interior mutability of the Table data, where in many cases we already own a unique reference to it. That prompted a slight refactor aiming to reduce number of safety constraints that must be manually upheld. Now the majority of those are just about avoiding bound checking, which is relatively easy to prove right.
Another aspect is reducing the complexity of Table struct. Notably, we don't ever use archetypes stored there, so this whole thing goes away. Capacity and grow amount were mostly superficial, as we are already using Vecs inside anyway, so I've got rid of those too. Now the overall table capacity is being driven by the internal entity Vec capacity. This has a side effect of automatically implementing exponential growth pattern for BitVecs reallocations inside Table, which to my measurements slightly improves performance in tests that are heavy on inserts. YMMV, but I hope that those tests were at least remotely correct.
This new api stems from this [discord conversation](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/742569353878437978/844057268172357663).
This exposes a public facing `set_changed` method on `ResMut` and `Mut`.
As a side note: `ResMut` and `Mut` have a lot of duplicated code, I have a PR I may put up later that refactors these commonalities into a trait.

- simplified code around archetype generations a little bit, as the special case value is not actually needed
- removed unnecessary UnsafeCell around pointer value that is never updated through shared references
- fixed and added a test for correct drop behaviour when removing sparse components through remove_bundle command
This can save users from having to type `&*X` all the time at the cost of some complexity in the type signature. For instance, this allows me to accommodate @jakobhellermann's suggestion in #1799 without requiring users to type `&*windows` 99% of the time.
This shrinks breakout from 316k to 310k when using `--feature dynamic`.
I haven't run the ecs benchmark to test performance as my laptop is too noisy for reliable benchmarking.
We discussed with @alice-i-cecile privately on iterators and agreed that making a custom ordered iterator over query makes no sense since materialization is required anyway and it's better to reuse existing components or code. Therefore, just adding an example to the documentation as requested.
Fixes#1470.

I think [collection, thing_removed_from_collection] is a more natural order than [thing_removed_from_collection, collection]. Just a small tweak that I think we should include in 0.5.
