# Objective
- bevy_remote Cargo.toml file references a readme that doesn't exist
- This is blocking releasing the rc
## Solution
- Remove the reference
## Objective
Be able to depend on the crate for the types without bringing in
`smol-hyper` and other http dependencies.
## Solution
Create a new `HTTP` feature that is enabled by default.
## Objective
Add a way to stream BRP requests when the data changes.
## Solution
#### BRP Side (reusable for other transports)
Add a new method handler type that returns a optional value. This
handler is run in update and if a value is returned it will be sent on
the message channel. Custom watching handlers can be added with
`RemotePlugin::with_watching_method`.
#### HTTP Side
If a request comes in with `+watch` in the method, it will respond with
`text/event-stream` rather than a single response.
## Testing
I tested with the podman HTTP client. This client has good support for
SSE's if you want to test it too.
## Parts I want some opinions on
- For separating watching methods I chose to add a `+watch` suffix to
the end kind of like `content-type` headers. A get would be
`bevy/get+watch`.
- Should watching methods send an initial response with everything or
only respond when a change happens? Currently the later is what happens.
## Future work
- The `bevy/query` method would also benefit from this but that
condition will be quite complex so I will leave that to later.

# Objective
Following the pattern established in #15593, we can reduce the API
surface of `World` by providing a single function to grab both a
singular entity reference, or multiple entity references.
## Solution
The following functions can now also take multiple entity IDs and will
return multiple entity references back:
- `World::entity`
- `World::get_entity`
- `World::entity_mut`
- `World::get_entity_mut`
- `DeferredWorld::entity_mut`
- `DeferredWorld::get_entity_mut`
If you pass in X, you receive Y:
- give a single `Entity`, receive a single `EntityRef`/`EntityWorldMut`
(matches current behavior)
- give a `[Entity; N]`/`&[Entity; N]` (array), receive an equally-sized
`[EntityRef; N]`/`[EntityMut; N]`
- give a `&[Entity]` (slice), receive a
`Vec<EntityRef>`/`Vec<EntityMut>`
- give a `&EntityHashSet`, receive a
`EntityHashMap<EntityRef>`/`EntityHashMap<EntityMut>`
Note that `EntityWorldMut` is only returned in the single-entity case,
because having multiple at the same time would lead to UB. Also,
`DeferredWorld` receives an `EntityMut` in the single-entity case
because it does not allow structural access.
## Testing
- Added doc-tests on `World::entity`, `World::entity_mut`, and
`DeferredWorld::entity_mut`
- Added tests for aliased mutability and entity existence
---
## Showcase
<details>
<summary>Click to view showcase</summary>
The APIs for fetching `EntityRef`s and `EntityMut`s from the `World`
have been unified.
```rust
// This code will be referred to by subsequent code blocks.
let world = World::new();
let e1 = world.spawn_empty().id();
let e2 = world.spawn_empty().id();
let e3 = world.spawn_empty().id();
```
Querying for a single entity remains mostly the same:
```rust
// 0.14
let eref: EntityRef = world.entity(e1);
let emut: EntityWorldMut = world.entity_mut(e1);
let eref: Option<EntityRef> = world.get_entity(e1);
let emut: Option<EntityWorldMut> = world.get_entity_mut(e1);
// 0.15
let eref: EntityRef = world.entity(e1);
let emut: EntityWorldMut = world.entity_mut(e1);
let eref: Result<EntityRef, Entity> = world.get_entity(e1);
let emut: Result<EntityWorldMut, Entity> = world.get_entity_mut(e1);
```
Querying for multiple entities with an array has changed:
```rust
// 0.14
let erefs: [EntityRef; 2] = world.many_entities([e1, e2]);
let emuts: [EntityMut; 2] = world.many_entities_mut([e1, e2]);
let erefs: Result<[EntityRef; 2], Entity> = world.get_many_entities([e1, e2]);
let emuts: Result<[EntityMut; 2], QueryEntityError> = world.get_many_entities_mut([e1, e2]);
// 0.15
let erefs: [EntityRef; 2] = world.entity([e1, e2]);
let emuts: [EntityMut; 2] = world.entity_mut([e1, e2]);
let erefs: Result<[EntityRef; 2], Entity> = world.get_entity([e1, e2]);
let emuts: Result<[EntityMut; 2], EntityFetchError> = world.get_entity_mut([e1, e2]);
```
Querying for multiple entities with a slice has changed:
```rust
let ids = vec![e1, e2, e3]);
// 0.14
let erefs: Result<Vec<EntityRef>, Entity> = world.get_many_entities_dynamic(&ids[..]);
let emuts: Result<Vec<EntityMut>, QueryEntityError> = world.get_many_entities_dynamic_mut(&ids[..]);
// 0.15
let erefs: Result<Vec<EntityRef>, Entity> = world.get_entity(&ids[..]);
let emuts: Result<Vec<EntityMut>, EntityFetchError> = world.get_entity_mut(&ids[..]);
let erefs: Vec<EntityRef> = world.entity(&ids[..]); // Newly possible!
let emuts: Vec<EntityMut> = world.entity_mut(&ids[..]); // Newly possible!
```
Querying for multiple entities with an `EntityHashSet` has changed:
```rust
let set = EntityHashSet::from_iter([e1, e2, e3]);
// 0.14
let emuts: Result<Vec<EntityMut>, QueryEntityError> = world.get_many_entities_from_set_mut(&set);
// 0.15
let emuts: Result<EntityHashMap<EntityMut>, EntityFetchError> = world.get_entity_mut(&set);
let erefs: Result<EntityHashMap<EntityRef>, EntityFetchError> = world.get_entity(&set); // Newly possible!
let emuts: EntityHashMap<EntityMut> = world.entity_mut(&set); // Newly possible!
let erefs: EntityHashMap<EntityRef> = world.entity(&set); // Newly possible!
```
</details>
## Migration Guide
- `World::get_entity` now returns `Result<_, Entity>` instead of
`Option<_>`.
- Use `world.get_entity(..).ok()` to return to the previous behavior.
- `World::get_entity_mut` and `DeferredWorld::get_entity_mut` now return
`Result<_, EntityFetchError>` instead of `Option<_>`.
- Use `world.get_entity_mut(..).ok()` to return to the previous
behavior.
- Type inference for `World::entity`, `World::entity_mut`,
`World::get_entity`, `World::get_entity_mut`,
`DeferredWorld::entity_mut`, and `DeferredWorld::get_entity_mut` has
changed, and might now require the input argument's type to be
explicitly written when inside closures.
- The following functions have been deprecated, and should be replaced
as such:
- `World::many_entities` -> `World::entity::<[Entity; N]>`
- `World::many_entities_mut` -> `World::entity_mut::<[Entity; N]>`
- `World::get_many_entities` -> `World::get_entity::<[Entity; N]>`
- `World::get_many_entities_dynamic` -> `World::get_entity::<&[Entity]>`
- `World::get_many_entities_mut` -> `World::get_entity_mut::<[Entity;
N]>`
- The equivalent return type has changed from `Result<_,
QueryEntityError>` to `Result<_, EntityFetchError>`
- `World::get_many_entities_dynamic_mut` ->
`World::get_entity_mut::<&[Entity]>1
- The equivalent return type has changed from `Result<_,
QueryEntityError>` to `Result<_, EntityFetchError>`
- `World::get_many_entities_from_set_mut` ->
`World::get_entity_mut::<&EntityHashSet>`
- The equivalent return type has changed from `Result<Vec<EntityMut>,
QueryEntityError>` to `Result<EntityHashMap<EntityMut>,
EntityFetchError>`. If necessary, you can still convert the
`EntityHashMap` into a `Vec`.
# Objective
- fulfill the needs presented in this issue, which requires the ability
to set custom HTTP headers for responses in the Bevy Remote Protocol
server. #15551
## Solution
- Created a `Headers` struct to store custom HTTP headers as key-value
pairs.
- Added a `headers` field to the `RemoteHttpPlugin` struct.
- Implemented a `with_headers` method in `RemoteHttpPlugin` to allow
users to set custom headers.
- Passed the headers into the processing chain.
## Testing
- I added cors_headers in example/remote/server.rs and tested it with a
static html
[file](https://github.com/spacemen0/bevy/blob/test_file/test.html)
---
# Objective
- I'm building a streaming plugin for `bevy_remote` and accessing to
builtin method will be very valuable
## Solution
- Add a method to allow access a handler by method name.
## Testing
- CI should pass
## Objective
I am using BRP for a web inspector. To get components from a entity is
first do a `bevy/list` on the specific entity and then use the result in
a `bevy/get` request. The problem with this is `bevy/list` returns all
components even if they aren't reflect-able (which is what I expect) but
when I then do a `bevy/get` request even if all bar one of the
components are reflect-able the request will fail.
## Solution
Update the `bevy/get` response to include a map of components like it
did for successful request and a map of errors. This means if one or
more components are not present on the entity or cannot be reflected it
will not fail the entire request.
I also only did `bevy/get` as I don't think any of the other methods
would benefit from this.
## Testing
I tested this with my inspector and with a http client and it worked as
expected.

## Objective
Closes#15408 (somewhat)
## Solution
- Moved the existing HTTP transport to its own module with its own
plugin (`RemoteHttpPlugin`) (disabled on WASM)
- Swapped out the `smol` crate for the smaller crates it re-exports to
make it easier to keep out non-wasm code (HTTP transport needs
`async-io` which can't build on WASM)
- Added a new public `BrpSender` resource holding the matching sender
for the `BrpReceiver`' (formally `BrpMailbox`). This allows other crates
to send `BrpMessage`'s to the "mailbox".
## Testing

# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
Adopted from #13563.
The goal is to implement the Bevy Remote Protocol over HTTP/JSON,
allowing the ECS to be interacted with remotely.
## Solution
At a high level, there are really two separate things that have been
undertaken here:
1. First, `RemotePlugin` has been created, which has the effect of
embedding a [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) endpoint
into a Bevy application.
2. Second, the [Bevy Remote Protocol
verbs](https://gist.github.com/coreh/1baf6f255d7e86e4be29874d00137d1d#file-bevy-remote-protocol-md)
(excluding `POLL`) have been implemented as remote methods for that
JSON-RPC endpoint under a Bevy-exclusive namespace (e.g. `bevy/get`,
`bevy/list`, etc.).
To avoid some repetition, here is the crate-level documentation, which
explains the request/response structure, built-in-methods, and custom
method configuration:
<details>
<summary>Click to view crate-level docs</summary>
```rust
//! An implementation of the Bevy Remote Protocol over HTTP and JSON, to allow
//! for remote control of a Bevy app.
//!
//! Adding the [`RemotePlugin`] to your [`App`] causes Bevy to accept
//! connections over HTTP (by default, on port 15702) while your app is running.
//! These *remote clients* can inspect and alter the state of the
//! entity-component system. Clients are expected to `POST` JSON requests to the
//! root URL; see the `client` example for a trivial example of use.
//!
//! The Bevy Remote Protocol is based on the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.
//!
//! ## Request objects
//!
//! A typical client request might look like this:
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "method": "bevy/get",
//! "id": 0,
//! "params": {
//! "entity": 4294967298,
//! "components": [
//! "bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform"
//! ]
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `id` and `method` fields are required. The `param` field may be omitted
//! for certain methods:
//!
//! * `id` is arbitrary JSON data. The server completely ignores its contents,
//! and the client may use it for any purpose. It will be copied via
//! serialization and deserialization (so object property order, etc. can't be
//! relied upon to be identical) and sent back to the client as part of the
//! response.
//!
//! * `method` is a string that specifies one of the possible [`BrpRequest`]
//! variants: `bevy/query`, `bevy/get`, `bevy/insert`, etc. It's case-sensitive.
//!
//! * `params` is parameter data specific to the request.
//!
//! For more information, see the documentation for [`BrpRequest`].
//! [`BrpRequest`] is serialized to JSON via `serde`, so [the `serde`
//! documentation] may be useful to clarify the correspondence between the Rust
//! structure and the JSON format.
//!
//! ## Response objects
//!
//! A response from the server to the client might look like this:
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "jsonrpc": "2.0",
//! "id": 0,
//! "result": {
//! "bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform": {
//! "rotation": { "x": 0.0, "y": 0.0, "z": 0.0, "w": 1.0 },
//! "scale": { "x": 1.0, "y": 1.0, "z": 1.0 },
//! "translation": { "x": 0.0, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.0 }
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `id` field will always be present. The `result` field will be present if the
//! request was successful. Otherwise, an `error` field will replace it.
//!
//! * `id` is the arbitrary JSON data that was sent as part of the request. It
//! will be identical to the `id` data sent during the request, modulo
//! serialization and deserialization. If there's an error reading the `id` field,
//! it will be `null`.
//!
//! * `result` will be present if the request succeeded and will contain the response
//! specific to the request.
//!
//! * `error` will be present if the request failed and will contain an error object
//! with more information about the cause of failure.
//!
//! ## Error objects
//!
//! An error object might look like this:
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "code": -32602,
//! "message": "Missing \"entity\" field"
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `code` and `message` fields will always be present. There may also be a `data` field.
//!
//! * `code` is an integer representing the kind of an error that happened. Error codes documented
//! in the [`error_codes`] module.
//!
//! * `message` is a short, one-sentence human-readable description of the error.
//!
//! * `data` is an optional field of arbitrary type containing additional information about the error.
//!
//! ## Built-in methods
//!
//! The Bevy Remote Protocol includes a number of built-in methods for accessing and modifying data
//! in the ECS. Each of these methods uses the `bevy/` prefix, which is a namespace reserved for
//! BRP built-in methods.
//!
//! ### bevy/get
//!
//! Retrieve the values of one or more components from an entity.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity whose components will be fetched.
//! - `components`: An array of fully-qualified type names of components to fetch.
//!
//! `result`: A map associating each type name to its value on the requested entity.
//!
//! ### bevy/query
//!
//! Perform a query over components in the ECS, returning all matching entities and their associated
//! component values.
//!
//! All of the arrays that comprise this request are optional, and when they are not provided, they
//! will be treated as if they were empty.
//!
//! `params`:
//! `params`:
//! - `data`:
//! - `components` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components to fetch.
//! - `option` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components to fetch optionally.
//! - `has` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components whose presence will be
//! reported as boolean values.
//! - `filter` (optional):
//! - `with` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components that must be present
//! on entities in order for them to be included in results.
//! - `without` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components that must *not* be
//! present on entities in order for them to be included in results.
//!
//! `result`: An array, each of which is an object containing:
//! - `entity`: The ID of a query-matching entity.
//! - `components`: A map associating each type name from `components`/`option` to its value on the matching
//! entity if the component is present.
//! - `has`: A map associating each type name from `has` to a boolean value indicating whether or not the
//! entity has that component. If `has` was empty or omitted, this key will be omitted in the response.
//!
//! ### bevy/spawn
//!
//! Create a new entity with the provided components and return the resulting entity ID.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `components`: A map associating each component's fully-qualified type name with its value.
//!
//! `result`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the newly spawned entity.
//!
//! ### bevy/destroy
//!
//! Despawn the entity with the given ID.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity to be despawned.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/remove
//!
//! Delete one or more components from an entity.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity whose components should be removed.
//! - `components`: An array of fully-qualified type names of components to be removed.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/insert
//!
//! Insert one or more components into an entity.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity to insert components into.
//! - `components`: A map associating each component's fully-qualified type name with its value.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/reparent
//!
//! Assign a new parent to one or more entities.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entities`: An array of entity IDs of entities that will be made children of the `parent`.
//! - `parent` (optional): The entity ID of the parent to which the child entities will be assigned.
//! If excluded, the given entities will be removed from their parents.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/list
//!
//! List all registered components or all components present on an entity.
//!
//! When `params` is not provided, this lists all registered components. If `params` is provided,
//! this lists only those components present on the provided entity.
//!
//! `params` (optional):
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity whose components will be listed.
//!
//! `result`: An array of fully-qualified type names of components.
//!
//! ## Custom methods
//!
//! In addition to the provided methods, the Bevy Remote Protocol can be extended to include custom
//! methods. This is primarily done during the initialization of [`RemotePlugin`], although the
//! methods may also be extended at runtime using the [`RemoteMethods`] resource.
//!
//! ### Example
//! ```ignore
//! fn main() {
//! App::new()
//! .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
//! .add_plugins(
//! // `default` adds all of the built-in methods, while `with_method` extends them
//! RemotePlugin::default()
//! .with_method("super_user/cool_method".to_owned(), path::to::my:🆒:handler)
//! // ... more methods can be added by chaining `with_method`
//! )
//! .add_systems(
//! // ... standard application setup
//! )
//! .run();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The handler is expected to be a system-convertible function which takes optional JSON parameters
//! as input and returns a [`BrpResult`]. This means that it should have a type signature which looks
//! something like this:
//! ```
//! # use serde_json::Value;
//! # use bevy_ecs::prelude::{In, World};
//! # use bevy_remote::BrpResult;
//! fn handler(In(params): In<Option<Value>>, world: &mut World) -> BrpResult {
//! todo!()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Arbitrary system parameters can be used in conjunction with the optional `Value` input. The
//! handler system will always run with exclusive `World` access.
//!
//! [the `serde` documentation]: https://serde.rs/
```
</details>
### Message lifecycle
At a high level, the lifecycle of client-server interactions is
something like this:
1. The client sends one or more `BrpRequest`s. The deserialized version
of that is just the Rust representation of a JSON-RPC request, and it
looks like this:
```rust
pub struct BrpRequest {
/// The action to be performed. Parsing is deferred for the sake of error reporting.
pub method: Option<Value>,
/// Arbitrary data that will be returned verbatim to the client as part of
/// the response.
pub id: Option<Value>,
/// The parameters, specific to each method.
///
/// These are passed as the first argument to the method handler.
/// Sometimes params can be omitted.
pub params: Option<Value>,
}
```
2. These requests are accumulated in a mailbox resource (small lie but
close enough).
3. Each update, the mailbox is drained by a system
`process_remote_requests`, where each request is processed according to
its `method`, which has an associated handler. Each handler is a Bevy
system that runs with exclusive world access and returns a result; e.g.:
```rust
pub fn process_remote_get_request(In(params): In<Option<Value>>, world: &World) -> BrpResult { // ... }
```
4. The result (or an error) is reported back to the client.
## Testing
This can be tested by using the `server` and `client` examples. The
`client` example is not particularly exhaustive at the moment (it only
creates barebones `bevy/query` requests) but is still informative. Other
queries can be made using `curl` with the `server` example running.
For example, to make a `bevy/list` request and list all registered
components:
```bash
curl -X POST -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "bevy/list" }' 127.0.0.1:15702 | jq .
```
---
## Future direction
There were a couple comments on BRP versioning while this was in draft.
I agree that BRP versioning is a good idea, but I think that it requires
some consensus on a couple fronts:
- First of all, what does the version actually mean? Is it a version for
the protocol itself or for the `bevy/*` methods implemented using it?
Both?
- Where does the version actually live? The most natural place is just
where we have `"jsonrpc"` right now (at least if it's versioning the
protocol itself), but this means we're not actually conforming to
JSON-RPC any more (so, for example, any client library used to construct
JSON-RPC requests would stop working). I'm not really against that, but
it's at least a real decision.
- What do we actually do when we encounter mismatched versions? Adding
handling for this would be actual scope creep instead of just a little
add-on in my opinion.
Another thing that would be nice is making the internal structure of the
implementation less JSON-specific. Right now, for example, component
values that will appear in server responses are quite eagerly converted
to JSON `Value`s, which prevents disentangling the handler logic from
the communication medium, but it can probably be done in principle and I
imagine it would enable more code reuse (e.g. for custom method
handlers) in addition to making the internals more readily usable for
other formats.
