# Objective
`UiImage` isn't just a general image component now, it's the defining
component for the image widget so it belongs in the image widget's
module.
# Objective
- `MeshPickingBackend` and `SpritePickingBackend` do not have the
`Plugin` suffix
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is masquerading as a `Plugin` when in reality
it should be a `PluginGroup`
- Fixes#16081.
## Solution
- Rename some structures:
|Original Name|New Name|
|-|-|
|`MeshPickingBackend`|`MeshPickingPlugin`|
|`MeshPickingBackendSettings`|`MeshPickingSettings`|
|`SpritePickingBackend`|`SpritePickingPlugin`|
|`UiPickingBackendPlugin`|`UiPickingPlugin`|
- Make `DefaultPickingPlugins` a `PluginGroup`.
- Because `DefaultPickingPlugins` is within the `DefaultPlugins` plugin
group, I also added support for nested plugin groups to the
`plugin_group!` macro.
## Testing
- I used ripgrep to ensure all references were properly renamed.
- For the `plugin_group!` macro, I used `cargo expand` to manually
inspect the expansion of `DefaultPlugins`.
---
## Migration Guide
> [!NOTE]
>
> All 3 of the changed structures were added after 0.14, so this does
not need to be included in the 0.14 to 0.15 migration guide.
- `MeshPickingBackend` is now named `MeshPickingPlugin`.
- `MeshPickingBackendSettings` is now named `MeshPickingSettings`.
- `SpritePickingBackend` is now named `SpritePickingPlugin`.
- `UiPickingBackendPlugin` is now named `UiPickingPlugin`.
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is now a a `PluginGroup` instead of a
`Plugin`.
# Objective
- Follow up on #16044
- `extract_uinode_borders` uses `bevy_hierarchy` directly instead of
going through the traversal utilities, meaning it won't handle
`GhostNode`s properly.
## Solution
- Replaced the use of `bevy_hierarchy::Parent` with
`UIChildren::get_parent`
## Testing
- Ran the `overflow` example, clipping looks ok.

# Objective
1. Nodes with `Display::None` set are removed from the layout and have
no position or size. Outlines should not be drawn for a node with
`Display::None` set.
2. The outline and border colors are checked for transparency together.
If only one of the two is transparent, both will get queued.
3. The `node.is_empty()` check is insufficient to check if a border is
present since a non-zero sized node can have a zero width border.
## Solution
1. Add a check to `extract_uinode_borders` and ignore the node if
`Display::None` is set.
2. Filter the border and outline optional components by
`is_fully_transparent`.
3. Check if all the border widths are zero instead.
## Testing
I added dark cyan outlines around the left and right sections in the
`display_and_visibility` example. If you run the example and set the
outermost node to `Display::None` on the right, then you'll see the that
the outline on the left disappears.
# Objective
Fixes#16006
## Solution
We currently re-export `cosmic_text`, which is seemingly motivated by
the desire to use `cosmic_text::FontSystem` in `bevy_text` public APIs
instead of our `CosmicFontSystem` resource wrapper type.
This change makes `bevy_text` a "true" abstraction over `cosmic_text`
(it in fact, was already built to be that way generally and has this one
"leak").
This allows us to remove the `cosmic_text` re-export, which helps clean
up the Rust Analyzer imports and generally makes this a "cleaner" API.
# Objective
fixes#15502
Clipped borders and outlines aren't drawn correctly.
### Borders aren't clipped
Spawn two nodes with the same dimensions and border thickness, but clip
on of the nodes so that only its top left quarter is visible:
<img width="194" alt="clip"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2d3f6d28-aa20-44df-967a-677725828294">
You can see that instead of clipping the border, instead the border is
scaled to fit inside of the unclipped section.
```rust
use bevy::color::palettes::css::BLUE;
use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy::winit::WinitSettings;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.insert_resource(WinitSettings::desktop_app())
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.run();
}
fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn(Camera2d);
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Percent(100.),
height: Val::Percent(100.),
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
align_items: AlignItems::Center,
..Default::default()
})
.with_children(|commands| {
commands
.spawn(Node {
column_gap: Val::Px(10.),
..Default::default()
})
.with_children(|commands| {
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
..Default::default()
})
.with_child((
Node {
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(10.)),
..Default::default()
},
BackgroundColor(Color::WHITE),
BorderColor(BLUE.into()),
));
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(50.),
height: Val::Px(50.),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
..Default::default()
})
.with_child((
Node {
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(10.)),
..Default::default()
},
BackgroundColor(Color::WHITE),
BorderColor(BLUE.into()),
));
});
});
}
```
You can also see this problem in the `overflow` example. If you hover
over any of the clipped nodes you'll see that the outline only wraps the
visible section of the node
### Outlines are clipped incorrectly
A UI nodes Outline's are drawn outside of its bounds, so applying the
local clipping rect to the outline doesn't make any sense.
Instead an `Outline` should be clipped using its parent's clipping rect.
## Solution
* Pass the `point` value into the vertex shader instead of calculating
it in the shader.
* In `extract_uinode_borders` use the parents clipping rect when
clipping outlines.
The extra parameter isn't a great solution I think, but I wanted to fix
borders for the 0.15 release and this is the most minimal approach I
could think of without replacing the whole shader and prepare function.

# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
# Objective
Make UI rendering optional.
Quite a few people have been experimenting with using Bevy UI for layout
and interaction but replacing the rendering with `bevy_prototype_lyon`
or whatever. It's awkward to do though as there is no way to disable the
existing UI rendering requiring users to create their own custom node
bundles and components. Also, you can't replace the UI's shader and a
number of other things.
This PR makes the setup and initialization of UI rendering for the
RenderApp optional. Then you can do whatever you want by replacing
`build_ui_render` with your own function. For instance, one that loads a
custom shader.
The UI layout and interaction components are still updated as normal.
## Solution
Add a field `enable_rendering` to `UiPlugin`.
Only call `build_ui_render` and initialize the `UiPipeline` if
`enable_rendering` is false.
I thought about implementing a "bevy_ui_render" feature but suspect
everything is too tightly coupled atm and it would be very fragile.
Similar to the struggles with the "bevy_text" feature but worse.
---
## Changelog
`UiPlugin`
* Added a bool field `enable_rendering`.
* Only calls `build_ui_render` and initializes the `UiPipeline` if
`enable_rendering` is true.
## Migration Guide
`UiPlugin` has a new field `enable_rendering`. If set to false, the UI's
rendering systems won't be added to the `RenderApp` and no UI elements
will be drawn. The layout and interaction components will still be
updated as normal.
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/15871
(Camera is done in #15946)
## Solution
- Do the same as #15904 for other extraction systems
- Added missing `SyncComponentPlugin` for DOF, TAA, and SSAO
(According to the
[documentation](https://dev-docs.bevyengine.org/bevy/render/sync_component/struct.SyncComponentPlugin.html),
this plugin "needs to be added for manual extraction implementations."
We may need to check this is done.)
## Testing
Modified example locally to add toggles if not exist.
- [x] DOF - toggling DOF component and perspective in `depth_of_field`
example
- [x] TAA - toggling `Camera.is_active` and TAA component
- [x] clusters - not entirely sure, toggling `Camera.is_active` in
`many_lights` example (no crash/glitch even without this PR)
- [x] previous_view - toggling `Camera.is_active` in `skybox` (no
crash/glitch even without this PR)
- [x] lights - toggling `Visibility` of `DirectionalLight` in `lighting`
example
- [x] SSAO - toggling `Camera.is_active` and SSAO component in `ssao`
example
- [x] default UI camera view - toggling `Camera.is_active` (nop without
#15946 because UI defaults to some camera even if `DefaultCameraView` is
not there)
- [x] volumetric fog - toggling existence of volumetric light. Looks
like optimization, no change in behavior/visuals
# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
# Objective
As discussed in #15341, ghost nodes are a contentious and experimental
feature. In the interest of enabling ecosystem experimentation, we've
decided to keep them in Bevy 0.15.
That said, we don't use them internally, and don't expect third-party
crates to support them. If the experimentation returns a negative result
(they aren't very useful, an alternative design is preferred etc) they
will be removed.
We should clearly communicate this status to users, and make sure that
users don't use ghost nodes in their projects without a very clear
understanding of what they're getting themselves into.
## Solution
To make life easy for users (and Bevy), `GhostNode` and all associated
helpers remain public and are always available.
However, actually constructing these requires enabling a feature flag
that's clearly marked as experimental. To do so, I've added a
meaningless private field.
When the feature flag is enabled, our constructs (`new` and `default`)
can be used. I've added a `new` constructor, which should be preferred
over `Default::default` as that can be readily deprecated, allowing us
to prompt users to swap over to the much nicer `GhostNode` syntax once
this is a unit struct again.
Full credit: this was mostly @cart's design: I'm just implementing it!
## Testing
I've run the ghost_nodes example and it fails to compile without the
feature flag. With the feature flag, it works fine :)

# Objective
- UI materials reserve too much capacity in a vec: for every node in the
transparent phase, it reserves enough memory to store all the nodes
- Update #10437
## Solution
- Only reserve extra memory if there's not enough
- Only reserve the needed memory, not more
# Objective
In `queue_shadows`, the `UiBoxShadows` option is unwrapped incorrectly
which results in the number of shadow samples being set to
`u32::default()` instead of `UiBoxShadows::default()` if the camera
entity doesn't have the component.
## Solution
Just use `unwrap_or_default` directly without `map`.
# Objective
Remove `bevy-ui`'s non-functional "bevy_text" feature.
Fixes#15900
## Solution
Remove all the "bevy_text" cfg gates.
I tried to fix it at first but couldn't figure it out. I'll happily
withdraw this in favour of another PR that gets the feature gate
working.
# Objective
Limited implementation of the CSS property `overflow-clip-margin`
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-clip-margin
Allows you to control the visible area for clipped content when using
overfllow-clip, -hidden, or -scroll and expand it with a margin.
Based on #15442Fixes#15468
## Solution
Adds a new field to Style: `overflow_clip_margin: OverflowClipMargin`.
The field is ignored unless overflow-clip, -hidden or -scroll is set on
at least one axis.
`OverflowClipMargin` has these associated constructor functions:
```
pub const fn content_box() -> Self;
pub const fn padding_box() -> Self;
pub const fn border_box() -> Self;
```
You can also use the method `with_margin` to increases the size of the
visible area:
```
commands
.spawn(NodeBundle {
style: Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
padding: UiRect::all(Val::Px(20.)),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(5.)),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
overflow_clip_margin: OverflowClipMargin::border_box().with_margin(25.),
..Default::default()
},
border_color: Color::BLACK.into(),
background_color: GRAY.into(),
..Default::default()
})
```
`with_margin` expects a length in logical pixels, negative values are
clamped to zero.
## Notes
* To keep this PR as simple as possible I omitted responsive margin
values support. This could be added in a follow up if we want it.
* CSS also supports a `margin-box` option but we don't have access to
the margin values in `Node` so it's probably not feasible to implement
atm.
## Testing
```cargo run --example overflow_clip_margin```
<img width="396" alt="overflow-clip-margin" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/07b51cd6-a565-4451-87a0-fa079429b04b">
## Migration Guide
Style has a new field `OverflowClipMargin`. It allows users to set the visible area for clipped content when using overflow-clip, -hidden, or -scroll and expand it with a margin.
There are three associated constructor functions `content_box`, `padding_box` and `border_box`:
* `content_box`: elements painted outside of the content box area (the innermost part of the node excluding the padding and border) of the node are clipped. This is the new default behaviour.
* `padding_box`: elements painted outside outside of the padding area of the node are clipped.
* `border_box`: elements painted outside of the bounds of the node are clipped. This matches the behaviour from Bevy 0.14.
There is also a `with_margin` method that increases the size of the visible area by the given number in logical pixels, negative margin values are clamped to zero.
`OverflowClipMargin` is ignored unless overflow-clip, -hidden or -scroll is also set on at least one axis of the UI node.

# Objective
Cleanup naming and docs, add missing migration guide after #15591
All text root nodes now use `Text` (UI) / `Text2d`.
All text readers/writers use `Text<Type>Reader`/`Text<Type>Writer`
convention.
---
## Migration Guide
Doubles as #15591 migration guide.
Text bundles (`TextBundle` and `Text2dBundle`) were removed in favor of
`Text` and `Text2d`.
Shared configuration fields were replaced with `TextLayout`, `TextFont`
and `TextColor` components.
Just `TextBundle`'s additional field turned into `TextNodeFlags`
component,
while `Text2dBundle`'s additional fields turned into `TextBounds` and
`Anchor` components.
Text sections were removed in favor of hierarchy-based approach.
For root text entities with `Text` or `Text2d` components, child
entities with `TextSpan` will act as additional text sections.
To still access text spans by index, use the new `TextUiReader`,
`Text2dReader` and `TextUiWriter`, `Text2dWriter` system parameters.
# Objective
Change UI clipping to respect borders and padding.
Fixes#15335
## Solution
Based on #15163
1. Add a `padding` field to `Node`.
2. In `ui_layout_size` copy the padding values from taffy to
`Node::padding`.
4. Determine the node's content box (The innermost part of the node
excluding the padding and border).
5. In `update_clipping` perform the clipping intersection with the
node's content box.
## Notes
* `Rect` probably needs some helper methods for working with insets but
because `Rect` and `BorderRect` are in different crates it's awkward to
add them. Left for a follow up.
* We could have another `Overflow` variant (probably called
`Overflow::Hidden`) to that clips inside of the border box instead of
the content box. Left it out here as I'm not certain about the naming or
behaviour though. If this PR is adopted, it would be trivial to add a
`Hidden` variant in a follow up.
* Depending on UI scaling there are sometimes gaps in the layout:
<img width="532" alt="rounding-bug"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cc29aa0d-44fe-403f-8f0e-cd28a8b1d1b3">
This is caused by existing bugs in `ui_layout_system`'s coordinates
rounding and not anything to do with the changes in this PR.
## Testing
This PR also changes the `overflow` example to display borders on the
overflow nodes so you can see how this works:
#### main (The image is clipped at the edges of the node, overwriting
the border).

# Objective
Another clippy-lint fix: the goal is so that `ci lints` actually
displays the problems that a contributor caused, and not a bunch of
existing stuff in the repo. (when run on nightly)
## Solution
This fixes all but the `clippy::needless_lifetimes` lint, which will
result in substantially more fixes and be in other PR(s). I also
explicitly allow `non_local_definitions` since it is [not working
correctly, but will be
fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131643).
A few things were manually fixed: for example, some places had an
explicitly defined `div_ceil` function that was used, which is no longer
needed since this function is stable on unsigned integers. Also, empty
lines in doc comments were handled individually.
## Testing
I ran `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-staged` with the `clippy::needless_lifetimes` lint marked as
`allow` in `Cargo.toml` to avoid fixing that too. It now passes with all
but the listed lint.
# Objective
#15320 is a particularly painful breaking change, and the new
`RenderEntity` in particular is very noisy, with a lot of `let entity =
entity.id()` spam.
## Solution
Implement `WorldQuery`, `QueryData` and `ReadOnlyQueryData` for
`RenderEntity` and `WorldEntity`.
These work the same as the `Entity` impls from a user-facing
perspective: they simply return an owned (copied) `Entity` identifier.
This dramatically reduces noise and eases migration.
Under the hood, these impls defer to the implementations for `&T` for
everything other than the "call .id() for the user" bit, as they involve
read-only access to component data. Doing it this way (as opposed to
implementing a custom fetch, as tried in the first commit) dramatically
reduces the maintenance risk of complex unsafe code outside of
`bevy_ecs`.
To make this easier (and encourage users to do this themselves!), I've
made `ReadFetch` and `WriteFetch` slightly more public: they're no
longer `doc(hidden)`. This is a good change, since trying to vendor the
logic is much worse than just deferring to the existing tested impls.
## Testing
I've run a handful of rendering examples (breakout, alien_cake_addict,
auto_exposure, fog_volumes, box_shadow) and nothing broke.
## Follow-up
We should lint for the uses of `&RenderEntity` and `&MainEntity` in
queries: this is just less nice for no reason.

# Objective
With the warning removed in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/15736, the rules for the UI tree
changes.
We no longer need to traverse non `Node`/`GhostNode` entities.
## Solution
- Added a filter `Or<(With<Node>, With<GhostNode>)>` to the child
traversal query so we don't unnecessarily traverse nodes that are not
part of the UI tree (like text nodes).
- Also moved the warning for NoUI->UI entities so it is actually
triggered (see comments)
## Testing
- Ran unit tests (still passing)
- Ran the ghost_nodes and ui examples, still works and looks fine 👍
- Tested the warning by spawning a Node under an empty entity.

# Objective
Currently text is recomputed unnecessarily on any changes to its color,
which is extremely expensive.
## Solution
Split up `TextStyle` into two separate components `TextFont` and
`TextColor`.
## Testing
I added this system to `many_buttons`:
```rust
fn set_text_colors_changed(mut colors: Query<&mut TextColor>) {
for mut text_color in colors.iter_mut() {
text_color.set_changed();
}
}
```
reports ~4fps on main, ~50fps with this PR.
## Migration Guide
`TextStyle` has been renamed to `TextFont` and its `color` field has
been moved to a separate component named `TextColor` which newtypes
`Color`.
# Objective
In the Render World, there are a number of collections that are derived
from Main World entities and are used to drive rendering. The most
notable are:
- `VisibleEntities`, which is generated in the `check_visibility` system
and contains visible entities for a view.
- `ExtractedInstances`, which maps entity ids to asset ids.
In the old model, these collections were trivially kept in sync -- any
extracted phase item could look itself up because the render entity id
was guaranteed to always match the corresponding main world id.
After #15320, this became much more complicated, and was leading to a
number of subtle bugs in the Render World. The main rendering systems,
i.e. `queue_material_meshes` and `queue_material2d_meshes`, follow a
similar pattern:
```rust
for visible_entity in visible_entities.iter::<With<Mesh2d>>() {
let Some(mesh_instance) = render_mesh_instances.get_mut(visible_entity) else {
continue;
};
// Look some more stuff up and specialize the pipeline...
let bin_key = Opaque2dBinKey {
pipeline: pipeline_id,
draw_function: draw_opaque_2d,
asset_id: mesh_instance.mesh_asset_id.into(),
material_bind_group_id: material_2d.get_bind_group_id().0,
};
opaque_phase.add(
bin_key,
*visible_entity,
BinnedRenderPhaseType::mesh(mesh_instance.automatic_batching),
);
}
```
In this case, `visible_entities` and `render_mesh_instances` are both
collections that are created and keyed by Main World entity ids, and so
this lookup happens to work by coincidence. However, there is a major
unintentional bug here: namely, because `visible_entities` is a
collection of Main World ids, the phase item being queued is created
with a Main World id rather than its correct Render World id.
This happens to not break mesh rendering because the render commands
used for drawing meshes do not access the `ItemQuery` parameter, but
demonstrates the confusion that is now possible: our UI phase items are
correctly being queued with Render World ids while our meshes aren't.
Additionally, this makes it very easy and error prone to use the wrong
entity id to look up things like assets. For example, if instead we
ignored visibility checks and queued our meshes via a query, we'd have
to be extra careful to use `&MainEntity` instead of the natural
`Entity`.
## Solution
Make all collections that are derived from Main World data use
`MainEntity` as their key, to ensure type safety and avoid accidentally
looking up data with the wrong entity id:
```rust
pub type MainEntityHashMap<V> = hashbrown::HashMap<MainEntity, V, EntityHash>;
```
Additionally, we make all `PhaseItem` be able to provide both their Main
and Render World ids, to allow render phase implementors maximum
flexibility as to what id should be used to look up data.
You can think of this like tracking at the type level whether something
in the Render World should use it's "primary key", i.e. entity id, or
needs to use a foreign key, i.e. `MainEntity`.
## Testing
##### TODO:
This will require extensive testing to make sure things didn't break!
Additionally, some extraction logic has become more complicated and
needs to be checked for regressions.
## Migration Guide
With the advent of the retained render world, collections that contain
references to `Entity` that are extracted into the render world have
been changed to contain `MainEntity` in order to prevent errors where a
render world entity id is used to look up an item by accident. Custom
rendering code may need to be changed to query for `&MainEntity` in
order to look up the correct item from such a collection. Additionally,
users who implement their own extraction logic for collections of main
world entity should strongly consider extracting into a different
collection that uses `MainEntity` as a key.
Additionally, render phases now require specifying both the `Entity` and
`MainEntity` for a given `PhaseItem`. Custom render phases should ensure
`MainEntity` is available when queuing a phase item.
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**
# Objective
- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. I separated `TextSpan` from
`TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode`
component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI.
Extra changes:
- Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference.
This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than
`self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable
reference for this reason.
## Testing
- [x] Text examples all work.

## Migration Guide
TODO: very breaking
### Accessing text spans by index
Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a
hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters
to access spans by index.
Before:
```rust
fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) {
let text = query.single_mut();
text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
After:
```rust
fn refresh_text(
query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>,
mut writer: UiTextWriter,
time: Res<Time>
) {
let entity = query.single();
*writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
### Iterating text spans
Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader`
and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that
hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal
iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of
the spans.

# Objective
The UI text rendering is really slow because it extracts each glyph as a
separate ui node even though all the glyphs in a text section have the
same texture, color and clipping rects.
## Solution
Store the glyphs in a seperate contiguous array, queue one transparent
ui item per text section which has indices into the glyph array.
## Testing
```cargo run --example many_glyphs --release```
Runs at about 22fps on main and 95fps with this PR on my computer.
I'll do some proper comparisons once I work out why tracy 11 is refusing to run.

# Objective
Fixes#15560
Fixes (most of) #15570
Currently a lot of examples (and presumably some user code) depend on
toggling certain render features by adding/removing a single component
to an entity, e.g. `SpotLight` to toggle a light. Because of the
retained render world this no longer works: Extract will add any new
components, but when it is removed the entity persists unchanged in the
render world.
## Solution
Add `SyncComponentPlugin<C: Component>` that registers
`SyncToRenderWorld` as a required component for `C`, and adds a
component hook that will clear all components from the render world
entity when `C` is removed. We add this plugin to
`ExtractComponentPlugin` which fixes most instances of the problem. For
custom extraction logic we can manually add `SyncComponentPlugin` for
that component.
We also rename `WorldSyncPlugin` to `SyncWorldPlugin` so we start a
naming convention like all the `Extract` plugins.
In this PR I also fixed a bunch of breakage related to the retained
render world, stemming from old code that assumed that `Entity` would be
the same in both worlds.
I found that using the `RenderEntity` wrapper instead of `Entity` in
data structures when referring to render world entities makes intent
much clearer, so I propose we make this an official pattern.
## Testing
Run examples like
```
cargo run --features pbr_multi_layer_material_textures --example clearcoat
cargo run --example volumetric_fog
```
and see that they work, and that toggles work correctly. But really we
should test every single example, as we might not even have caught all
the breakage yet.

The retained render world notes should be updated to explain this edge
case and `SyncComponentPlugin`

# Objective
As discussed in #15591, this warning prevents us from storing leaf nodes
without a `Style` component. Because text sections (as distinct
entities) should not be laid out using `taffy`, this warning is
incorrect.
Users may also have other uses for doing this, and this should generally
increase flexibility without posing particularly serious correctness
concerns.
## Solution
- removed warning about non-UI children with UI parents
- improved the warning about UI parents with non-UI parents
- this warning should stay, for now, as it results in a genuine failure
to perform `taffy` layout
- that said, we should be clearer about the cause and potentially
harmful results of this!
## Testing
I inserted an empty entity into the hierarchy in the `button` example as
a leaf node, and it ran with no warnings.
# Objective
- Closes#15720
## Solution
Wrap the handle in a new wrapper component: `UiMaterialHandle`
It's not possible to match the naming convention of `MeshMaterial3d/2d`
here with the trait already being called `UiMaterial`
Should we consider renaming to `Material3d/2dHandle` and `Mesh3d/2d` to
`Mesh3d/2dHandle`?
- This shouldn't have any merge conflicts with #15591
## Testing
Tested the `ui_material` example
## Migration Guide
Let's defer the migration guide to the required component port. I just
want to yeet the `Component` impl on `Handle` in the meantime :)
# Objective
UI box shadow support
Adds a new component `BoxShadow`:
```rust
pub struct BoxShadow {
/// The shadow's color
pub color: Color,
/// Horizontal offset
pub x_offset: Val,
/// Vertical offset
pub y_offset: Val,
/// Horizontal difference in size from the occluding uninode
pub spread_radius: Val,
/// Blurriness of the shadow
pub blur_radius: Val,
}
```
To use `BoxShadow`, add the component to any Bevy UI node and a shadow
will be drawn beneath that node.
Also adds a resource `BoxShadowSamples` that can be used to adjust the
shadow quality.
#### Notes
* I'm not super happy with the field names. Maybe we need a `struct Size
{ width: Val, height: Val }` type or something.
* The shader isn't very optimised but I don't see that it's too
important for now as the number of shadows being rendered is not going
to be massive most of the time. I think it's more important to get the
API and geometry correct with this PR.
* I didn't implement an inset property, it's not essential and can
easily be added in a follow up.
* Shadows are only rendered for uinodes, not for images or text.
* Batching isn't supported, it would need out-of-the-scope-of-this-pr
changes to the way the UI handles z-ordering for it to be effective.

# Objective
- Rename `Pickable` to `PickingBehavior` to counter the easily-made
assumption that the component is required. It is optional
- Fix and clarify documentation
- The docs in `crates/bevy_ui/src/picking_backend.rs` were incorrect
about the necessity of `Pickable`
- Plus two minor code quality changes in this commit
(7c2e75f48d)
Closes#15632
# Objective
After merging retained rendering world #15320, we now have a good way of
creating a link between worlds (*HIYAA intensifies*). This means that
`get_or_spawn` is no longer necessary for that function. Entity should
be opaque as the warning above `get_or_spawn` says. This is also part of
#15459.
I'm deprecating `get_or_spawn_batch` in a different PR in order to keep
the PR small in size.
## Solution
Deprecate `get_or_spawn` and replace it with `get_entity` in most
contexts. If it's possible to query `&RenderEntity`, then the entity is
synced and `render_entity.id()` is initialized in the render world.
## Migration Guide
If you are given an `Entity` and you want to do something with it, use
`Commands.entity(...)` or `World.entity(...)`. If instead you want to
spawn something use `Commands.spawn(...)` or `World.spawn(...)`. If you
are not sure if an entity exists, you can always use `get_entity` and
match on the `Option<...>` that is returned.

# Objective
Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.
Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.
---
## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
# Objective
Fixes#14511.
`despawn` allows you to remove entities from the world. However, if the
entity does not exist, it emits a warning. This may not be intended
behavior for many users who have use cases where they need to call
`despawn` regardless of if the entity actually exists (see the issue),
or don't care in general if the entity already doesn't exist.
(Also trying to gauge interest on if this feature makes sense, I'd
personally love to have it, but I could see arguments that this might be
a footgun. Just trying to help here 😄 If there's no contention I could
also implement this for `despawn_recursive` and `despawn_descendants` in
the same PR)
## Solution
Add `try_despawn`, `try_despawn_recursive` and
`try_despawn_descendants`.
Modify `World::despawn_with_caller` to also take in a `warn` boolean
argument, which is then considered when logging the warning. Set
`log_warning` to `true` in the case of `despawn`, and `false` in the
case of `try_despawn`.
## Testing
Ran `cargo run -p ci` on macOS, it seemed fine.
As discussed in #15521
- Partial revert of #14897, reverting the change to the methods to
consume `self`
- The `insert_if` method is kept
The migration guide of #14897 should be removed
Closes#15521

- [x] `ghost_hierarchy` module
- [x] Add `GhostNode`
- [x] Add `UiRootNodes` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI root
nodes
- [x] Add `UiChildren` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI

`ghost_hierarchy`
- [x] Ensure this fulfills the needs for currently known use cases
- [x] Reactivity libraries (test with `bevy_reactor`)
- [ ] Text spans (mentioned by koe [on
discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1285371432460881991/1285377442998915246))

## Performance
[See comment
below](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/15341#issuecomment-2385456820)
## Migration guide
Any code that previously relied on `Parent`/`Children` to iterate UI
children may now want to use `bevy_ui::UiChildren` to ensure ghost nodes
are skipped, and their first descendant Nodes included.
UI root nodes may now be children of ghost nodes, which means
`Without<Parent>` might not query all root nodes. Use
`bevy_ui::UiRootNodes` where needed to iterate root nodes instead.
## Potential future work
- Benchmarking/optimizations of hierarchies containing lots of ghost
nodes
- Further exploration of UI hierarchies and markers for root nodes/leaf
nodes to create better ergonomics for things like `UiLayer` (world-space
ui)
