# Objective
- Fixes#3004
## Solution
- Replaced all the types with their fully quallified names
- Replaced all trait methods and inherent methods on dyn traits with their fully qualified names
- Made a new file `fq_std.rs` that contains structs corresponding to commonly used Structs and Traits from `std`. These structs are replaced by their respective fully qualified names when used inside `quote!`
# Objective
- fix new clippy lints before they get stable and break CI
## Solution
- run `clippy --fix` to auto-fix machine-applicable lints
- silence `clippy::should_implement_trait` for `fn HandleId::default<T: Asset>`
## Changes
- always prefer `format!("{inline}")` over `format!("{}", not_inline)`
- prefer `Box::default` (or `Box::<T>::default` if necessary) over `Box::new(T::default())`
# Objective
- To address problems outlined in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/5245
## Solution
- Introduce `reflect(skip_serializing)` on top of `reflect(ignore)` which disables automatic serialisation to scenes, but does not disable reflection of the field.
---
## Changelog
- Adds:
- `bevy_reflect::serde::type_data` module
- `SerializationData` structure for describing which fields are to be/not to be ignored, automatically registers as type_data for struct-based types
- the `skip_serialization` flag for `#[reflect(...)]`
- Removes:
- ability to ignore Enum variants in serialization, since that didn't work anyway
## Migration Guide
- Change `#[reflect(ignore)]` to `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` where disabling reflection is not the intended effect.
- Remove ignore/skip attributes from enum variants as these won't do anything anymore
# Objective
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4447 adds functions that can fetch resources/components as `*const ()` ptr by providing the `ComponentId`. This alone is not enough for them to be usable safely with reflection, because there is no general way to go from the raw pointer to a `&dyn Reflect` which is the pointer + a pointer to the VTable of the `Reflect` impl.
By adding a `ReflectFromPtr` type that is included in the type type registration when deriving `Reflect`, safe functions can be implemented in scripting languages that don't assume a type layout and can access the component data via reflection:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct StringResource {
value: String
}
```
```lua
local res_id = world:resource_id_by_name("example::StringResource")
local res = world:resource(res_id)
print(res.value)
```
## Solution
1. add a `ReflectFromPtr` type with a `FromType<T: Reflect>` implementation and the following methods:
- ` pub unsafe fn as_reflect_ptr<'a>(&self, val: Ptr<'a>) -> &'a dyn Reflect`
- ` pub unsafe fn as_reflect_ptr_mut<'a>(&self, val: PtrMut<'a>) -> &'a mud dyn Reflect`
Safety requirements of the methods are that you need to check that the `ReflectFromPtr` was constructed for the correct type.
2. add that type to the `TypeRegistration` in the `GetTypeRegistration` impl generated by `#[derive(Reflect)]`.
This is different to other reflected traits because it doesn't need `#[reflect(ReflectReflectFromPtr)]` which IMO should be there by default.

# Objective
The `bevy_reflect_derive` crate is not the cleanest or easiest to follow/maintain. The `lib.rs` file is especially difficult with over 1000 lines of code written in a confusing order. This is just a result of growth within the crate and it would be nice to clean it up for future work.
## Solution
Split `bevy_reflect_derive` into many more submodules. The submodules include:
* `container_attributes` - Code relating to container attributes
* `derive_data` - Code relating to reflection-based derive metadata
* `field_attributes` - Code relating to field attributes
* `impls` - Code containing actual reflection implementations
* `reflect_value` - Code relating to reflection-based value metadata
* `registration` - Code relating to type registration
* `utility` - General-purpose utility functions
This leaves the `lib.rs` file to contain only the public macros, making it much easier to digest (and fewer than 200 lines).
By breaking up the code into smaller modules, we make it easier for future contributors to find the code they're looking for or identify which module best fits their own additions.
### Metadata Structs
This cleanup also adds two big metadata structs: `ReflectFieldAttr` and `ReflectDeriveData`. The former is used to store all attributes for a struct field (if any). The latter is used to store all metadata for struct-based derive inputs.
Both significantly reduce code duplication and make editing these macros much simpler. The tradeoff is that we may collect more metadata than needed. However, this is usually a small thing (such as checking for attributes when they're not really needed or creating a `ReflectFieldAttr` for every field regardless of whether they actually have an attribute).
We could try to remove these tradeoffs and squeeze some more performance out, but doing so might come at the cost of developer experience. Personally, I think it's much nicer to create a `ReflectFieldAttr` for every field since it means I don't have to do two `Option` checks. Others may disagree, though, and so we can discuss changing this either in this PR or in a future one.
### Out of Scope
_Some_ documentation has been added or improved, but ultimately good docs are probably best saved for a dedicated PR.
## 🔍 Focus Points (for reviewers)
I know it's a lot to sift through, so here is a list of **key points for reviewers**:
- The following files contain code that was mostly just relocated:
- `reflect_value.rs`
- `registration.rs`
- `container_attributes.rs` was also mostly moved but features some general cleanup (reducing nesting, removing hardcoded strings, etc.) and lots of doc comments
- Most impl logic was moved from `lib.rs` to `impls.rs`, but they have been significantly modified to use the new `ReflectDeriveData` metadata struct in order to reduce duplication.
- `derive_data.rs` and `field_attributes.rs` contain almost entirely new code and should probably be given the most attention.
- Likewise, `from_reflect.rs` saw major changes using `ReflectDeriveData` so it should also be given focus.
- There was no change to the `lib.rs` exports so the end-user API should be the same.
## Prior Work
This task was initially tackled by @NathanSWard in #2377 (which was closed in favor of this PR), so hats off to them for beating me to the punch by nearly a year!
