Kind of confused why this wasn't breaking for me pre-`0.15-dev` since
nothing obvious seems to have changed in `wgpu` upstream, but this fixes
it and ensures that we return the correct sample type re: the actual
device.
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that can be used as a render
asset, particularly for use with `AsBindGroup`.
Closes: #13658
# Objective
Allow users to create storage buffers in the main world without having
to access the `RenderDevice`. While this resource is technically
available, it's bad form to use in the main world and requires mixing
rendering details with main world code. Additionally, this makes storage
buffers easier to use with `AsBindGroup`, particularly in the following
scenarios:
- Sharing the same buffers between a compute stage and material shader.
We already have examples of this for storage textures (see game of life
example) and these changes allow a similar pattern to be used with
storage buffers.
- Preventing repeated gpu upload (see the previous easier to use `Vec`
`AsBindGroup` option).
- Allow initializing custom materials using `Default`. Previously, the
lack of a `Default` implement for the raw `wgpu::Buffer` type made
implementing a `AsBindGroup + Default` bound difficult in the presence
of buffers.
## Solution
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that is prepared into a
`GpuStorageBuffer` render asset. This asset can either be initialized
with a `Vec<u8>` of properly aligned data or with a size hint. Users can
modify the underlying `wgpu::BufferDescriptor` to provide additional
usage flags.
## Migration Guide
The `AsBindGroup` `storage` attribute has been modified to reference the
new `Handle<Storage>` asset instead. Usages of Vec` should be converted
into assets instead.

# Objective
Adding more features to `AsBindGroup` proc macro means making the trait
arguments uglier. Downstream implementors of the trait without the proc
macro might want to do different things than our default arguments.
## Solution
Make `AsBindGroup` take an associated `Param` type.
## Migration Guide
`AsBindGroup` now allows the user to specify a `SystemParam` to be used
for creating bind groups.
# Objective
currently if we use an image with the wrong sampler type in a material,
wgpu panics with an invalid texture format. turn this into a warning and
fail more gracefully.
## Solution
the expected sampler type is specified in the AsBindGroup derive, so we
can just check the image sampler is what it should be.
i am not totally sure about the mapping of image sampler type to
#[sampler(type)], i assumed:
```
"filtering" => [ TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: true } ],
"non_filtering" => [
TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: false },
TextureSampleType::Sint,
TextureSampleType::Uint,
],
"comparison" => [ TextureSampleType::Depth ],
```
# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.
---
## Changelog
- The source code viewer on docs.rs now includes links to the
definitions.

# Objective
- Replace `RenderMaterials` / `RenderMaterials2d` / `RenderUiMaterials`
with `RenderAssets` to enable implementing changes to one thing,
`RenderAssets`, that applies to all use cases rather than duplicating
changes everywhere for multiple things that should be one thing.
- Adopts #8149
## Solution
- Make RenderAsset generic over the destination type rather than the
source type as in #8149
- Use `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` etc for render materials
---
## Changelog
- Changed:
- The `RenderAsset` trait is now implemented on the destination type.
Its `SourceAsset` associated type refers to the type of the source
asset.
- `RenderMaterials`, `RenderMaterials2d`, and `RenderUiMaterials` have
been replaced by `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` and similar.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderAsset` is now implemented for the destination type rather that
the source asset type. The source asset type is now the `RenderAsset`
trait's `SourceAsset` associated type.
# Objective
prevent gpu buffer allocations when running `as_bind_group` for assets
with texture dependencies that are not yet available.
## Solution
reorder the binding creation so that fallible items are created first.
Fixes#12016.

# Objective
Currently the `missing_docs` lint is allowed-by-default and enabled at
crate level when their documentations is complete (see #3492).
This PR proposes to inverse this logic by making `missing_docs`
warn-by-default and mark crates with imcomplete docs allowed.
## Solution
Makes `missing_docs` warn at workspace level and allowed at crate level
when the docs is imcomplete.
# Objective
The whole `Cow<'static, str>` naming for nodes and subgraphs in
`RenderGraph` is a mess.
## Solution
Replaces hardcoded and potentially overlapping strings for nodes and
subgraphs inside `RenderGraph` with bevy's labelsystem.
---
## Changelog
* Two new labels: `RenderLabel` and `RenderSubGraph`.
* Replaced all uses for hardcoded strings with those labels
* Moved `Taa` label from its own mod to all the other `Labels3d`
* `add_render_graph_edges` now needs a tuple of labels
* Moved `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion` label from its own mod with the
`ShadowPass` label to `LabelsPbr`
* Removed `NodeId`
* Renamed `Edges.id()` to `Edges.label()`
* Removed `NodeLabel`
* Changed examples according to the new label system
* Introduced new `RenderLabel`s: `Labels2d`, `Labels3d`, `LabelsPbr`,
`LabelsUi`
* Introduced new `RenderSubGraph`s: `SubGraph2d`, `SubGraph3d`,
`SubGraphUi`
* Removed `Reflect` and `Default` derive from `CameraRenderGraph`
component struct
* Improved some error messages
## Migration Guide
For Nodes and SubGraphs, instead of using hardcoded strings, you now
pass labels, which can be derived with structs and enums.

## Future work
* Make `NodeSlot`s also use types. Ideally, we have an enum with unit
variants where every variant resembles one slot. Then to make sure you
are using the right slot enum and make rust-analyzer play nicely with
it, we should make an associated type in the `Node` trait. With today's
system, we can introduce 3rd party slots to a node, and i wasnt sure if
this was used, so I didn't do this in this PR.
## Unresolved Questions
When looking at the `post_processing` example, we have a struct for the
label and a struct for the node, this seems like boilerplate and on
discord, @IceSentry (sowy for the ping)
[asked](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1175197016947699742)
if a node could automatically introduce a label (or i completely
misunderstood that). The problem with that is, that nodes like
`EmptyNode` exist multiple times *inside the same* (sub)graph, so there
we need extern labels to distinguish between those. Hopefully we can
find a way to reduce boilerplate and still have everything unique. For
EmptyNode, we could maybe make a macro which implements an "empty node"
for a type, but for nodes which contain code and need to be present
multiple times, this could get nasty...
# Objective
> Can anyone explain to me the reasoning of renaming all the types named
Query to Data. I'm talking about this PR
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10779 It doesn't make sense to
me that a bunch of types that are used to run queries aren't named Query
anymore. Like ViewQuery on the ViewNode is the type of the Query. I
don't really understand the point of the rename, it just seems like it
hides the fact that a query will run based on those types.

## Solution
Revert several renames in #10779.

# Objective
- Add the ability to describe storage texture bindings when deriving
`AsBindGroup`.
- This is especially valuable for the compute story of bevy which
deserves some extra love imo.
## Solution
- This add the ability to annotate struct fields with a
`#[storage_texture(0)]` annotation.
- Instead of adding specific option parsing for all the image formats
and access modes, I simply accept a token stream and defer checking to
see if the option is valid to the compiler. This still results in useful
and friendly errors and is free to maintain and always compatible with
wgpu changes.
---
## Changelog
- The `#[storage_texture(..)]` annotation is now accepted for fields of
`Handle<Image>` in structs that derive `AsBindGroup`.
- The game_of_life compute shader example has been updated to use
`AsBindGroup` together with `[storage_texture(..)]` to obtain the
`BindGroupLayout`.
## Migration Guide
# Objective
- Fix adding `#![allow(clippy::type_complexity)]` everywhere. like #9796
## Solution
- Use the new [lints] table that will land in 1.74
(https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#lints)
- inherit lint to the workspace, crates and examples.
```
[lints]
workspace = true
```
## Changelog
- Bump rust version to 1.74
- Enable lints table for the workspace
```toml
[workspace.lints.clippy]
type_complexity = "allow"
```
- Allow type complexity for all crates and examples
```toml
[lints]
workspace = true
```

# Objective
allow extending `Material`s (including the built in `StandardMaterial`)
with custom vertex/fragment shaders and additional data, to easily get
pbr lighting with custom modifications, or otherwise extend a base
material.
# Solution
- added `ExtendedMaterial<B: Material, E: MaterialExtension>` which
contains a base material and a user-defined extension.
- added example `extended_material` showing how to use it
- modified AsBindGroup to have "unprepared" functions that return raw
resources / layout entries so that the extended material can combine
them
note: doesn't currently work with array resources, as i can't figure out
how to make the OwnedBindingResource::get_binding() work, as wgpu
requires a `&'a[&'a TextureView]` and i have a `Vec<TextureView>`.
# Migration Guide
manual implementations of `AsBindGroup` will need to be adjusted, the
changes are pretty straightforward and can be seen in the diff for e.g.
the `texture_binding_array` example.

# Objective
Replace instances of
```rust
for x in collection.iter{_mut}() {
```
with
```rust

This also changes CI to no longer suppress this lint. Note that since
this lint only shows up when using clippy in pedantic mode, it was
probably unnecessary to suppress this lint in the first place.

# 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
- Fix the AsBindGroup texture attribute visibility flag parsing
- This appears to have been caused by a syn crate update which then the
visibility code got updated
- Also I noticed that by default the vertex and fragment flags were on,
so visibility(compute) would actually make the texture visible to
vertex, fragment and compute shaders, I fixed this too
## Solution
- Update flag parsing to use MetaList.parse_nested_meta function, which
loads the flags into a Vec then loop through those flags
- Change initial visibility flags to use VisibilityFlags::default()
rather than VisibilityFlags::vertex_fragment()
# Objective
Fixes#6920
## Solution
From the issue discussion:
> From looking at the `AsBindGroup` derive macro implementation, the
fallback image's `TextureView` is used when the binding's
`Option<Handle<Image>>` is `None`. Because this relies on already having
a view that matches the desired binding dimensions, I think the solution
will require creating a separate `GpuImage` for each possible
`TextureViewDimension`.
---
## Changelog
Users can now rely on `FallbackImage` to work with a texture binding of
any dimension.
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
There was PR that introduced support for storage buffer is `AsBindGroup` macro [#6129](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6129), but it does not give more granular control over storage buffer, it will always copy all the data no matter which part of it was updated. There is also currently another open PR #6669 that tries to achieve exactly that, it is just not up to date and seems abandoned (Sorry if that is not right). In this PR I'm proposing a solution for both of these approaches to co-exist using `#[storage(n, buffer)]` and `#[storage(n)]` to distinguish between the cases.
We could also discuss in this PR if there is a need to extend this support to DynamicBuffers as well.
# Objective
In simple cases we might want to derive the `ExtractComponent` trait.
This adds symmetry to the existing `ExtractResource` derive.
## Solution
Add an implementation of `#[derive(ExtractComponent)]`.
The implementation is adapted from the existing `ExtractResource` derive macro.
Additionally, there is an attribute called `extract_component_filter`. This allows specifying a query filter type used when extracting.
If not specified, no filter (equal to `()`) is used.
So:
```rust
#[derive(Component, Clone, ExtractComponent)]
#[extract_component_filter(With<Fuel>)]
pub struct Car {
pub wheels: usize,
}
```
would expand to (a bit cleaned up here):
```rust
impl ExtractComponent for Car
{
type Query = &'static Self;
type Filter = With<Fuel>;
type Out = Self;
fn extract_component(item: QueryItem<'_, Self::Query>) -> Option<Self::Out> {
Some(item.clone())
}
}
```
---
## Changelog
- Added the ability to `#[derive(ExtractComponent)]` with an optional filter.
# Objective
I found several words in code and docs are incorrect. This should be fixed.
## Solution
- Fix several minor typos
Co-authored-by: Chris Ohk <utilforever@gmail.com>
# Objective
- Storage buffers are useful and not currently supported by the `AsBindGroup` derive which means you need to expand the macro if you need a storage buffer
## Solution
- Add a new `#[storage]` attribute to the derive `AsBindGroup` macro.
- Support and optional `read_only` parameter that defaults to false when not present.
- Support visibility parameters like the texture and sampler attributes.
---
## Changelog
- Add a new `#[storage(index)]` attribute to the derive `AsBindGroup` macro.
Co-authored-by: IceSentry <IceSentry@users.noreply.github.com>
# Objective
`AsBindGroup` can't be used as a trait object because of the constraint `Sized` and because of the associated function.
This is a problem for [`bevy_atmosphere`](https://github.com/JonahPlusPlus/bevy_atmosphere) because it needs to use a trait that depends on `AsBindGroup` as a trait object, for switching out different shaders at runtime. The current solution it employs is reimplementing the trait and derive macro into that trait, instead of constraining to `AsBindGroup`.
## Solution
Remove the `Sized` constraint from `AsBindGroup` and add the constraint `where Self: Sized` to the associated function `bind_group_layout`. Also change `PreparedBindGroup<T: AsBindGroup>` to `PreparedBindGroup<T>` and use it as `PreparedBindGroup<Self::Data>` instead of `PreparedBindGroup<Self>`.
This weakens the constraints, but increases the flexibility of `AsBindGroup`.
I'm not entirely sure why the `Sized` constraint was there, because it worked fine without it (maybe @cart wasn't aware of use cases for `AsBindGroup` as a trait object or this was just leftover from legacy code?).
---
## Changelog
- `AsBindGroup` can be used as a trait object.
# Objective
- Provide better compile-time errors and diagnostics.
- Add more options to allow more textures types and sampler types.
- Update array_texture example to use upgraded AsBindGroup derive macro.
## Solution
Split out the parsing of the inner struct/field attributes (the inside part of a `#[foo(...)]` attribute) for better clarity
Parse the binding index for all inner attributes, as it is part of all attributes (`#[foo(0, ...)`), then allow each attribute implementer to parse the rest of the attribute metadata as needed. This should make it very trivial to extend/change if needed in the future.
Replaced invocations of `panic!` with the `syn::Error` type, providing fine-grained errors that retains span information. This provides much nicer compile-time errors, and even better IDE errors.

Updated the array_texture example to demonstrate the new changes.
## New AsBindGroup attribute options
### `#[texture(u32, ...)]`
Where `...` is an optional list of arguments.
| Arguments | Values | Default |

| dimension = "..." | `"1d"`, `"2d"`, `"2d_array"`, `"3d"`, `"cube"`, `"cube_array"` | `"2d"` |
| sample_type = "..." | `"float"`, `"depth"`, `"s_int"` or `"u_int"` | `"float"` |
| filterable = ... | `true`, `false` | `true` |
| multisampled = ... | `true`, `false` | `false` |
| visibility(...) | `all`, `none`, or a list-combination of `vertex`, `fragment`, `compute` | `vertex`, `fragment` |
Example: `#[texture(0, dimension = "2d_array", visibility(vertex, fragment))]`
### `#[sampler(u32, ...)]`
Where `...` is an optional list of arguments.
| Arguments | Values | Default |
|----------- |--------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| sampler_type = "..." | `"filtering"`, `"non_filtering"`, `"comparison"`. | `"filtering"` |
| visibility(...) | `all`, `none`, or a list-combination of `vertex`, `fragment`, `compute` | `vertex`, `fragment` |
Example: `#[sampler(0, sampler_type = "filtering", visibility(vertex, fragment)]`
## Changelog
- Added more options to `#[texture(...)]` and `#[sampler(...)]` attributes, supporting more kinds of materials. See above for details.
- Upgraded IDE and compile-time error messages.
- Updated array_texture example using the new options.
# Objective
This PR reworks Bevy's Material system, making the user experience of defining Materials _much_ nicer. Bevy's previous material system leaves a lot to be desired:
* Materials require manually implementing the `RenderAsset` trait, which involves manually generating the bind group, handling gpu buffer data transfer, looking up image textures, etc. Even the simplest single-texture material involves writing ~80 unnecessary lines of code. This was never the long term plan.
* There are two material traits, which is confusing, hard to document, and often redundant: `Material` and `SpecializedMaterial`. `Material` implicitly implements `SpecializedMaterial`, and `SpecializedMaterial` is used in most high level apis to support both use cases. Most users shouldn't need to think about specialization at all (I consider it a "power-user tool"), so the fact that `SpecializedMaterial` is front-and-center in our apis is a miss.
* Implementing either material trait involves a lot of "type soup". The "prepared asset" parameter is particularly heinous: `&<Self as RenderAsset>::PreparedAsset`. Defining vertex and fragment shaders is also more verbose than it needs to be.
## Solution
Say hello to the new `Material` system:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup, TypeUuid, Debug, Clone)]
#[uuid = "f690fdae-d598-45ab-8225-97e2a3f056e0"]
pub struct CoolMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
color_texture: Handle<Image>,
}
impl Material for CoolMaterial {
fn fragment_shader() -> ShaderRef {
"cool_material.wgsl".into()
}
}
```
Thats it! This same material would have required [~80 lines of complicated "type heavy" code](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/v0.7.0/examples/shader/shader_material.rs) in the old Material system. Now it is just 14 lines of simple, readable code.
This is thanks to a new consolidated `Material` trait and the new `AsBindGroup` trait / derive.
### The new `Material` trait
The old "split" `Material` and `SpecializedMaterial` traits have been removed in favor of a new consolidated `Material` trait. All of the functions on the trait are optional.
The difficulty of implementing `Material` has been reduced by simplifying dataflow and removing type complexity:
```rust
// Old
impl Material for CustomMaterial {
fn fragment_shader(asset_server: &AssetServer) -> Option<Handle<Shader>> {
Some(asset_server.load("custom_material.wgsl"))
}
fn alpha_mode(render_asset: &<Self as RenderAsset>::PreparedAsset) -> AlphaMode {
render_asset.alpha_mode
}
}
// New
impl Material for CustomMaterial {
fn fragment_shader() -> ShaderRef {
"custom_material.wgsl".into()
}
fn alpha_mode(&self) -> AlphaMode {
self.alpha_mode
}
}
```
Specialization is still supported, but it is hidden by default under the `specialize()` function (more on this later).
### The `AsBindGroup` trait / derive
The `Material` trait now requires the `AsBindGroup` derive. This can be implemented manually relatively easily, but deriving it will almost always be preferable.
Field attributes like `uniform` and `texture` are used to define which fields should be bindings,
what their binding type is, and what index they should be bound at:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
struct CoolMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
color_texture: Handle<Image>,
}
```
In WGSL shaders, the binding looks like this:
```wgsl
struct CoolMaterial {
color: vec4<f32>;
};
[[group(1), binding(0)]]
var<uniform> material: CoolMaterial;
[[group(1), binding(1)]]
var color_texture: texture_2d<f32>;
[[group(1), binding(2)]]
var color_sampler: sampler;
```
Note that the "group" index is determined by the usage context. It is not defined in `AsBindGroup`. Bevy material bind groups are bound to group 1.
The following field-level attributes are supported:
* `uniform(BINDING_INDEX)`
* The field will be converted to a shader-compatible type using the `ShaderType` trait, written to a `Buffer`, and bound as a uniform. It can also be derived for custom structs.
* `texture(BINDING_INDEX)`
* This field's `Handle<Image>` will be used to look up the matching `Texture` gpu resource, which will be bound as a texture in shaders. The field will be assumed to implement `Into<Option<Handle<Image>>>`. In practice, most fields should be a `Handle<Image>` or `Option<Handle<Image>>`. If the value of an `Option<Handle<Image>>` is `None`, the new `FallbackImage` resource will be used instead. This attribute can be used in conjunction with a `sampler` binding attribute (with a different binding index).
* `sampler(BINDING_INDEX)`
* Behaves exactly like the `texture` attribute, but sets the Image's sampler binding instead of the texture.
Note that fields without field-level binding attributes will be ignored.
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
struct CoolMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
this_field_is_ignored: String,
}
```
As mentioned above, `Option<Handle<Image>>` is also supported:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
struct CoolMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
color_texture: Option<Handle<Image>>,
}
```
This is useful if you want a texture to be optional. When the value is `None`, the `FallbackImage` will be used for the binding instead, which defaults to "pure white".
Field uniforms with the same binding index will be combined into a single binding:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
struct CoolMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
#[uniform(0)]
roughness: f32,
}
```
In WGSL shaders, the binding would look like this:
```wgsl
struct CoolMaterial {
color: vec4<f32>;
roughness: f32;
};
[[group(1), binding(0)]]
var<uniform> material: CoolMaterial;
```
Some less common scenarios will require "struct-level" attributes. These are the currently supported struct-level attributes:
* `uniform(BINDING_INDEX, ConvertedShaderType)`
* Similar to the field-level `uniform` attribute, but instead the entire `AsBindGroup` value is converted to `ConvertedShaderType`, which must implement `ShaderType`. This is useful if more complicated conversion logic is required.
* `bind_group_data(DataType)`
* The `AsBindGroup` type will be converted to some `DataType` using `Into<DataType>` and stored as `AsBindGroup::Data` as part of the `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` call. This is useful if data needs to be stored alongside the generated bind group, such as a unique identifier for a material's bind group. The most common use case for this attribute is "shader pipeline specialization".
The previous `CoolMaterial` example illustrating "combining multiple field-level uniform attributes with the same binding index" can
also be equivalently represented with a single struct-level uniform attribute:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
#[uniform(0, CoolMaterialUniform)]
struct CoolMaterial {
color: Color,
roughness: f32,
}
#[derive(ShaderType)]
struct CoolMaterialUniform {
color: Color,
roughness: f32,
}
impl From<&CoolMaterial> for CoolMaterialUniform {
fn from(material: &CoolMaterial) -> CoolMaterialUniform {
CoolMaterialUniform {
color: material.color,
roughness: material.roughness,
}
}
}
```
### Material Specialization
Material shader specialization is now _much_ simpler:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup, TypeUuid, Debug, Clone)]
#[uuid = "f690fdae-d598-45ab-8225-97e2a3f056e0"]
#[bind_group_data(CoolMaterialKey)]
struct CoolMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
is_red: bool,
}
#[derive(Copy, Clone, Hash, Eq, PartialEq)]
struct CoolMaterialKey {
is_red: bool,
}
impl From<&CoolMaterial> for CoolMaterialKey {
fn from(material: &CoolMaterial) -> CoolMaterialKey {
CoolMaterialKey {
is_red: material.is_red,
}
}
}
impl Material for CoolMaterial {
fn fragment_shader() -> ShaderRef {
"cool_material.wgsl".into()
}
fn specialize(
pipeline: &MaterialPipeline<Self>,
descriptor: &mut RenderPipelineDescriptor,
layout: &MeshVertexBufferLayout,
key: MaterialPipelineKey<Self>,
) -> Result<(), SpecializedMeshPipelineError> {
if key.bind_group_data.is_red {
let fragment = descriptor.fragment.as_mut().unwrap();
fragment.shader_defs.push("IS_RED".to_string());
}
Ok(())
}
}
```
Setting `bind_group_data` is not required for specialization (it defaults to `()`). Scenarios like "custom vertex attributes" also benefit from this system:
```rust
impl Material for CustomMaterial {
fn vertex_shader() -> ShaderRef {
"custom_material.wgsl".into()
}
fn fragment_shader() -> ShaderRef {
"custom_material.wgsl".into()
}
fn specialize(
pipeline: &MaterialPipeline<Self>,
descriptor: &mut RenderPipelineDescriptor,
layout: &MeshVertexBufferLayout,
key: MaterialPipelineKey<Self>,
) -> Result<(), SpecializedMeshPipelineError> {
let vertex_layout = layout.get_layout(&[
Mesh::ATTRIBUTE_POSITION.at_shader_location(0),
ATTRIBUTE_BLEND_COLOR.at_shader_location(1),
])?;
descriptor.vertex.buffers = vec![vertex_layout];
Ok(())
}
}
```
### Ported `StandardMaterial` to the new `Material` system
Bevy's built-in PBR material uses the new Material system (including the AsBindGroup derive):
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup, Debug, Clone, TypeUuid)]
#[uuid = "7494888b-c082-457b-aacf-517228cc0c22"]
#[bind_group_data(StandardMaterialKey)]
#[uniform(0, StandardMaterialUniform)]
pub struct StandardMaterial {
pub base_color: Color,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
pub base_color_texture: Option<Handle<Image>>,
/* other fields omitted for brevity */
```
### Ported Bevy examples to the new `Material` system
The overall complexity of Bevy's "custom shader examples" has gone down significantly. Take a look at the diffs if you want a dopamine spike.
Please note that while this PR has a net increase in "lines of code", most of those extra lines come from added documentation. There is a significant reduction
in the overall complexity of the code (even accounting for the new derive logic).
---
## Changelog
### Added
* `AsBindGroup` trait and derive, which make it much easier to transfer data to the gpu and generate bind groups for a given type.
### Changed
* The old `Material` and `SpecializedMaterial` traits have been replaced by a consolidated (much simpler) `Material` trait. Materials no longer implement `RenderAsset`.
* `StandardMaterial` was ported to the new material system. There are no user-facing api changes to the `StandardMaterial` struct api, but it now implements `AsBindGroup` and `Material` instead of `RenderAsset` and `SpecializedMaterial`.
## Migration Guide
The Material system has been reworked to be much simpler. We've removed a lot of boilerplate with the new `AsBindGroup` derive and the `Material` trait is simpler as well!

### Bevy 0.8 (new)
```rust
impl Material for CustomMaterial {
fn fragment_shader() -> ShaderRef {
"custom_material.wgsl".into()
}
}
#[derive(AsBindGroup, TypeUuid, Debug, Clone)]
#[uuid = "f690fdae-d598-45ab-8225-97e2a3f056e0"]
pub struct CustomMaterial {
#[uniform(0)]
color: Color,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
color_texture: Handle<Image>,
}
```
## Future Work
* Add support for more binding types (cubemaps, buffers, etc). This PR intentionally includes a bare minimum number of binding types to keep "reviewability" in check.
* Consider optionally eliding binding indices using binding names. `AsBindGroup` could pass in (optional?) reflection info as a "hint".
* This would make it possible for the derive to do this:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
pub struct CustomMaterial {
#[uniform]
color: Color,
#[texture]
#[sampler]
color_texture: Option<Handle<Image>>,
alpha_mode: AlphaMode,
}
```
* Or this
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
pub struct CustomMaterial {
#[binding]
color: Color,
#[binding]
color_texture: Option<Handle<Image>>,
alpha_mode: AlphaMode,
}
```
* Or even this (if we flip to "include bindings by default")
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
pub struct CustomMaterial {
color: Color,
color_texture: Option<Handle<Image>>,
#[binding(ignore)]
alpha_mode: AlphaMode,
}
```
* If we add the option to define custom draw functions for materials (which could be done in a type-erased way), I think that would be enough to support extra non-material bindings. Worth considering!
# Objective
- Add an `ExtractResourcePlugin` for convenience and consistency
## Solution
- Add an `ExtractResourcePlugin` similar to `ExtractComponentPlugin` but for ECS `Resource`s. The system that is executed simply clones the main world resource into a render world resource, if and only if the main world resource was either added or changed since the last execution of the system.
- Add an `ExtractResource` trait with a `fn extract_resource(res: &Self) -> Self` function. This is used by the `ExtractResourcePlugin` to extract the resource
- Add a derive macro for `ExtractResource` on a `Resource` with the `Clone` trait, that simply returns `res.clone()`
- Use `ExtractResourcePlugin` wherever both possible and appropriate
