Bevy Asset V2 (#8624)
# Bevy Asset V2 Proposal ## Why Does Bevy Need A New Asset System? Asset pipelines are a central part of the gamedev process. Bevy's current asset system is missing a number of features that make it non-viable for many classes of gamedev. After plenty of discussions and [a long community feedback period](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/3972), we've identified a number missing features: * **Asset Preprocessing**: it should be possible to "preprocess" / "compile" / "crunch" assets at "development time" rather than when the game starts up. This enables offloading expensive work from deployed apps, faster asset loading, less runtime memory usage, etc. * **Per-Asset Loader Settings**: Individual assets cannot define their own loaders that override the defaults. Additionally, they cannot provide per-asset settings to their loaders. This is a huge limitation, as many asset types don't provide all information necessary for Bevy _inside_ the asset. For example, a raw PNG image says nothing about how it should be sampled (ex: linear vs nearest). * **Asset `.meta` files**: assets should have configuration files stored adjacent to the asset in question, which allows the user to configure asset-type-specific settings. These settings should be accessible during the pre-processing phase. Modifying a `.meta` file should trigger a re-processing / re-load of the asset. It should be possible to configure asset loaders from the meta file. * **Processed Asset Hot Reloading**: Changes to processed assets (or their dependencies) should result in re-processing them and re-loading the results in live Bevy Apps. * **Asset Dependency Tracking**: The current bevy_asset has no good way to wait for asset dependencies to load. It punts this as an exercise for consumers of the loader apis, which is unreasonable and error prone. There should be easy, ergonomic ways to wait for assets to load and block some logic on an asset's entire dependency tree loading. * **Runtime Asset Loading**: it should be (optionally) possible to load arbitrary assets dynamically at runtime. This necessitates being able to deploy and run the asset server alongside Bevy Apps on _all platforms_. For example, we should be able to invoke the shader compiler at runtime, stream scenes from sources like the internet, etc. To keep deployed binaries (and startup times) small, the runtime asset server configuration should be configurable with different settings compared to the "pre processor asset server". * **Multiple Backends**: It should be possible to load assets from arbitrary sources (filesystems, the internet, remote asset serves, etc). * **Asset Packing**: It should be possible to deploy assets in compressed "packs", which makes it easier and more efficient to distribute assets with Bevy Apps. * **Asset Handoff**: It should be possible to hold a "live" asset handle, which correlates to runtime data, without actually holding the asset in memory. Ex: it must be possible to hold a reference to a GPU mesh generated from a "mesh asset" without keeping the mesh data in CPU memory * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: Different platforms and app distributions have different capabilities and requirements. Some platforms need lower asset resolutions or different asset formats to operate within the hardware constraints of the platform. It should be possible to define per-platform asset processing profiles. And it should be possible to deploy only the assets required for a given platform. These features have architectural implications that are significant enough to require a full rewrite. The current Bevy Asset implementation got us this far, but it can take us no farther. This PR defines a brand new asset system that implements most of these features, while laying the foundations for the remaining features to be built. ## Bevy Asset V2 Here is a quick overview of the features introduced in this PR. * **Asset Preprocessing**: Preprocess assets at development time into more efficient (and configurable) representations * **Dependency Aware**: Dependencies required to process an asset are tracked. If an asset's processed dependency changes, it will be reprocessed * **Hot Reprocessing/Reloading**: detect changes to asset source files, reprocess them if they have changed, and then hot-reload them in Bevy Apps. * **Only Process Changes**: Assets are only re-processed when their source file (or meta file) has changed. This uses hashing and timestamps to avoid processing assets that haven't changed. * **Transactional and Reliable**: Uses write-ahead logging (a technique commonly used by databases) to recover from crashes / forced-exits. Whenever possible it avoids full-reprocessing / only uncompleted transactions will be reprocessed. When the processor is running in parallel with a Bevy App, processor asset writes block Bevy App asset reads. Reading metadata + asset bytes is guaranteed to be transactional / correctly paired. * **Portable / Run anywhere / Database-free**: The processor does not rely on an in-memory database (although it uses some database techniques for reliability). This is important because pretty much all in-memory databases have unsupported platforms or build complications. * **Configure Processor Defaults Per File Type**: You can say "use this processor for all files of this type". * **Custom Processors**: The `Processor` trait is flexible and unopinionated. It can be implemented by downstream plugins. * **LoadAndSave Processors**: Most asset processing scenarios can be expressed as "run AssetLoader A, save the results using AssetSaver X, and then load the result using AssetLoader B". For example, load this png image using `PngImageLoader`, which produces an `Image` asset and then save it using `CompressedImageSaver` (which also produces an `Image` asset, but in a compressed format), which takes an `Image` asset as input. This means if you have an `AssetLoader` for an asset, you are already half way there! It also means that you can share AssetSavers across multiple loaders. Because `CompressedImageSaver` accepts Bevy's generic Image asset as input, it means you can also use it with some future `JpegImageLoader`. * **Loader and Saver Settings**: Asset Loaders and Savers can now define their own settings types, which are passed in as input when an asset is loaded / saved. Each asset can define its own settings. * **Asset `.meta` files**: configure asset loaders, their settings, enable/disable processing, and configure processor settings * **Runtime Asset Dependency Tracking** Runtime asset dependencies (ex: if an asset contains a `Handle<Image>`) are tracked by the asset server. An event is emitted when an asset and all of its dependencies have been loaded * **Unprocessed Asset Loading**: Assets do not require preprocessing. They can be loaded directly. A processed asset is just a "normal" asset with some extra metadata. Asset Loaders don't need to know or care about whether or not an asset was processed. * **Async Asset IO**: Asset readers/writers use async non-blocking interfaces. Note that because Rust doesn't yet support async traits, there is a bit of manual Boxing / Future boilerplate. This will hopefully be removed in the near future when Rust gets async traits. * **Pluggable Asset Readers and Writers**: Arbitrary asset source readers/writers are supported, both by the processor and the asset server. * **Better Asset Handles** * **Single Arc Tree**: Asset Handles now use a single arc tree that represents the lifetime of the asset. This makes their implementation simpler, more efficient, and allows us to cheaply attach metadata to handles. Ex: the AssetPath of a handle is now directly accessible on the handle itself! * **Const Typed Handles**: typed handles can be constructed in a const context. No more weird "const untyped converted to typed at runtime" patterns! * **Handles and Ids are Smaller / Faster To Hash / Compare**: Typed `Handle<T>` is now much smaller in memory and `AssetId<T>` is even smaller. * **Weak Handle Usage Reduction**: In general Handles are now considered to be "strong". Bevy features that previously used "weak `Handle<T>`" have been ported to `AssetId<T>`, which makes it statically clear that the features do not hold strong handles (while retaining strong type information). Currently Handle::Weak still exists, but it is very possible that we can remove that entirely. * **Efficient / Dense Asset Ids**: Assets now have efficient dense runtime asset ids, which means we can avoid expensive hash lookups. Assets are stored in Vecs instead of HashMaps. There are now typed and untyped ids, which means we no longer need to store dynamic type information in the ID for typed handles. "AssetPathId" (which was a nightmare from a performance and correctness standpoint) has been entirely removed in favor of dense ids (which are retrieved for a path on load) * **Direct Asset Loading, with Dependency Tracking**: Assets that are defined at runtime can still have their dependencies tracked by the Asset Server (ex: if you create a material at runtime, you can still wait for its textures to load). This is accomplished via the (currently optional) "asset dependency visitor" trait. This system can also be used to define a set of assets to load, then wait for those assets to load. * **Async folder loading**: Folder loading also uses this system and immediately returns a handle to the LoadedFolder asset, which means folder loading no longer blocks on directory traversals. * **Improved Loader Interface**: Loaders now have a specific "top level asset type", which makes returning the top-level asset simpler and statically typed. * **Basic Image Settings and Processing**: Image assets can now be processed into the gpu-friendly Basic Universal format. The ImageLoader now has a setting to define what format the image should be loaded as. Note that this is just a minimal MVP ... plenty of additional work to do here. To demo this, enable the `basis-universal` feature and turn on asset processing. * **Simpler Audio Play / AudioSink API**: Asset handle providers are cloneable, which means the Audio resource can mint its own handles. This means you can now do `let sink_handle = audio.play(music)` instead of `let sink_handle = audio_sinks.get_handle(audio.play(music))`. Note that this might still be replaced by https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8424. **Removed Handle Casting From Engine Features**: Ex: FontAtlases no longer use casting between handle types ## Using The New Asset System ### Normal Unprocessed Asset Loading By default the `AssetPlugin` does not use processing. It behaves pretty much the same way as the old system. If you are defining a custom asset, first derive `Asset`: ```rust #[derive(Asset)] struct Thing { value: String, } ``` Initialize the asset: ```rust app.init_asset:<Thing>() ``` Implement a new `AssetLoader` for it: ```rust #[derive(Default)] struct ThingLoader; #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)] pub struct ThingSettings { some_setting: bool, } impl AssetLoader for ThingLoader { type Asset = Thing; type Settings = ThingSettings; fn load<'a>( &'a self, reader: &'a mut Reader, settings: &'a ThingSettings, load_context: &'a mut LoadContext, ) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<Thing, anyhow::Error>> { Box::pin(async move { let mut bytes = Vec::new(); reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?; // convert bytes to value somehow Ok(Thing { value }) }) } fn extensions(&self) -> &[&str] { &["thing"] } } ``` Note that this interface will get much cleaner once Rust gets support for async traits. `Reader` is an async futures_io::AsyncRead. You can stream bytes as they come in or read them all into a `Vec<u8>`, depending on the context. You can use `let handle = load_context.load(path)` to kick off a dependency load, retrieve a handle, and register the dependency for the asset. Then just register the loader in your Bevy app: ```rust app.init_asset_loader::<ThingLoader>() ``` Now just add your `Thing` asset files into the `assets` folder and load them like this: ```rust fn system(asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) { let handle = Handle<Thing> = asset_server.load("cool.thing"); } ``` You can check load states directly via the asset server: ```rust if asset_server.load_state(&handle) == LoadState::Loaded { } ``` You can also listen for events: ```rust fn system(mut events: EventReader<AssetEvent<Thing>>, handle: Res<SomeThingHandle>) { for event in events.iter() { if event.is_loaded_with_dependencies(&handle) { } } } ``` Note the new `AssetEvent::LoadedWithDependencies`, which only fires when the asset is loaded _and_ all dependencies (and their dependencies) have loaded. Unlike the old asset system, for a given asset path all `Handle<T>` values point to the same underlying Arc. This means Handles can cheaply hold more asset information, such as the AssetPath: ```rust // prints the AssetPath of the handle info!("{:?}", handle.path()) ``` ### Processed Assets Asset processing can be enabled via the `AssetPlugin`. When developing Bevy Apps with processed assets, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev())) ``` This runs the `AssetProcessor` in the background with hot-reloading. It reads assets from the `assets` folder, processes them, and writes them to the `.imported_assets` folder. Asset loads in the Bevy App will wait for a processed version of the asset to become available. If an asset in the `assets` folder changes, it will be reprocessed and hot-reloaded in the Bevy App. When deploying processed Bevy apps, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed())) ``` This does not run the `AssetProcessor` in the background. It behaves like `AssetPlugin::unprocessed()`, but reads assets from `.imported_assets`. When the `AssetProcessor` is running, it will populate sibling `.meta` files for assets in the `assets` folder. Meta files for assets that do not have a processor configured look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` This is metadata for an image asset. For example, if you have `assets/my_sprite.png`, this could be the metadata stored at `assets/my_sprite.png.meta`. Meta files are totally optional. If no metadata exists, the default settings will be used. In short, this file says "load this asset with the ImageLoader and use the file extension to determine the image type". This type of meta file is supported in all AssetPlugin modes. If in `Unprocessed` mode, the asset (with the meta settings) will be loaded directly. If in `ProcessedDev` mode, the asset file will be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder. The meta will also be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder, but with one addition: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 12415480888597742505, full_hash: 14344495437905856884, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` `processed_info` contains `hash` (a direct hash of the asset and meta bytes), `full_hash` (a hash of `hash` and the hashes of all `process_dependencies`), and `process_dependencies` (the `path` and `full_hash` of every process_dependency). A "process dependency" is an asset dependency that is _directly_ used when processing the asset. Images do not have process dependencies, so this is empty. When the processor is enabled, you can use the `Process` metadata config: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Process( processor: "bevy_asset::processor::process::LoadAndSave<bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader, bevy_render::texture::compressed_image_saver::CompressedImageSaver>", settings: ( loader_settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), saver_settings: ( generate_mipmaps: true, ), ), ), ) ``` This configures the asset to use the `LoadAndSave` processor, which runs an AssetLoader and feeds the result into an AssetSaver (which saves the given Asset and defines a loader to load it with). (for terseness LoadAndSave will likely get a shorter/friendlier type name when [Stable Type Paths](#7184) lands). `LoadAndSave` is likely to be the most common processor type, but arbitrary processors are supported. `CompressedImageSaver` saves an `Image` in the Basis Universal format and configures the ImageLoader to load it as basis universal. The `AssetProcessor` will read this meta, run it through the LoadAndSave processor, and write the basis-universal version of the image to `.imported_assets`. The final metadata will look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 905599590923828066, full_hash: 9948823010183819117, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: Format(Basis), ), ), ) ``` To try basis-universal processing out in Bevy examples, (for example `sprite.rs`), change `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)` to `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev()))` and run with the `basis-universal` feature enabled: `cargo run --features=basis-universal --example sprite`. To create a custom processor, there are two main paths: 1. Use the `LoadAndSave` processor with an existing `AssetLoader`. Implement the `AssetSaver` trait, register the processor using `asset_processor.register_processor::<LoadAndSave<ImageLoader, CompressedImageSaver>>(image_saver.into())`. 2. Implement the `Process` trait directly and register it using: `asset_processor.register_processor(thing_processor)`. You can configure default processors for file extensions like this: ```rust asset_processor.set_default_processor::<ThingProcessor>("thing") ``` There is one more metadata type to be aware of: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Ignore, ) ``` This will ignore the asset during processing / prevent it from being written to `.imported_assets`. The AssetProcessor stores a transaction log at `.imported_assets/log` and uses it to gracefully recover from unexpected stops. This means you can force-quit the processor (and Bevy Apps running the processor in parallel) at arbitrary times! `.imported_assets` is "local state". It should _not_ be checked into source control. It should also be considered "read only". In practice, you _can_ modify processed assets and processed metadata if you really need to test something. But those modifications will not be represented in the hashes of the assets, so the processed state will be "out of sync" with the source assets. The processor _will not_ fix this for you. Either revert the change after you have tested it, or delete the processed files so they can be re-populated. ## Open Questions There are a number of open questions to be discussed. We should decide if they need to be addressed in this PR and if so, how we will address them: ### Implied Dependencies vs Dependency Enumeration There are currently two ways to populate asset dependencies: * **Implied via AssetLoaders**: if an AssetLoader loads an asset (and retrieves a handle), a dependency is added to the list. * **Explicit via the optional Asset::visit_dependencies**: if `server.load_asset(my_asset)` is called, it will call `my_asset.visit_dependencies`, which will grab dependencies that have been manually defined for the asset via the Asset trait impl (which can be derived). This means that defining explicit dependencies is optional for "loaded assets". And the list of dependencies is always accurate because loaders can only produce Handles if they register dependencies. If an asset was loaded with an AssetLoader, it only uses the implied dependencies. If an asset was created at runtime and added with `asset_server.load_asset(MyAsset)`, it will use `Asset::visit_dependencies`. However this can create a behavior mismatch between loaded assets and equivalent "created at runtime" assets if `Assets::visit_dependencies` doesn't exactly match the dependencies produced by the AssetLoader. This behavior mismatch can be resolved by completely removing "implied loader dependencies" and requiring `Asset::visit_dependencies` to supply dependency data. But this creates two problems: * It makes defining loaded assets harder and more error prone: Devs must remember to manually annotate asset dependencies with `#[dependency]` when deriving `Asset`. For more complicated assets (such as scenes), the derive likely wouldn't be sufficient and a manual `visit_dependencies` impl would be required. * Removes the ability to immediately kick off dependency loads: When AssetLoaders retrieve a Handle, they also immediately kick off an asset load for the handle, which means it can start loading in parallel _before_ the asset finishes loading. For large assets, this could be significant. (although this could be mitigated for processed assets if we store dependencies in the processed meta file and load them ahead of time) ### Eager ProcessorDev Asset Loading I made a controversial call in the interest of fast startup times ("time to first pixel") for the "processor dev mode configuration". When initializing the AssetProcessor, current processed versions of unchanged assets are yielded immediately, even if their dependencies haven't been checked yet for reprocessing. This means that non-current-state-of-filesystem-but-previously-valid assets might be returned to the App first, then hot-reloaded if/when their dependencies change and the asset is reprocessed. Is this behavior desirable? There is largely one alternative: do not yield an asset from the processor to the app until all of its dependencies have been checked for changes. In some common cases (load dependency has not changed since last run) this will increase startup time. The main question is "by how much" and is that slower startup time worth it in the interest of only yielding assets that are true to the current state of the filesystem. Should this be configurable? I'm starting to think we should only yield an asset after its (historical) dependencies have been checked for changes + processed as necessary, but I'm curious what you all think. ### Paths Are Currently The Only Canonical ID / Do We Want Asset UUIDs? In this implementation AssetPaths are the only canonical asset identifier (just like the previous Bevy Asset system and Godot). Moving assets will result in re-scans (and currently reprocessing, although reprocessing can easily be avoided with some changes). Asset renames/moves will break code and assets that rely on specific paths, unless those paths are fixed up. Do we want / need "stable asset uuids"? Introducing them is very possible: 1. Generate a UUID and include it in .meta files 2. Support UUID in AssetPath 3. Generate "asset indices" which are loaded on startup and map UUIDs to paths. 4 (maybe). Consider only supporting UUIDs for processed assets so we can generate quick-to-load indices instead of scanning meta files. The main "pro" is that assets referencing UUIDs don't need to be migrated when a path changes. The main "con" is that UUIDs cannot be "lazily resolved" like paths. They need a full view of all assets to answer the question "does this UUID exist". Which means UUIDs require the AssetProcessor to fully finish startup scans before saying an asset doesnt exist. And they essentially require asset pre-processing to use in apps, because scanning all asset metadata files at runtime to resolve a UUID is not viable for medium-to-large apps. It really requires a pre-generated UUID index, which must be loaded before querying for assets. I personally think this should be investigated in a separate PR. Paths aren't going anywhere ... _everyone_ uses filesystems (and filesystem-like apis) to manage their asset source files. I consider them permanent canonical asset information. Additionally, they behave well for both processed and unprocessed asset modes. Given that Bevy is supporting both, this feels like the right canonical ID to start with. UUIDS (and maybe even other indexed-identifier types) can be added later as necessary. ### Folder / File Naming Conventions All asset processing config currently lives in the `.imported_assets` folder. The processor transaction log is in `.imported_assets/log`. Processed assets are added to `.imported_assets/Default`, which will make migrating to processed asset profiles (ex: a `.imported_assets/Mobile` profile) a non-breaking change. It also allows us to create top-level files like `.imported_assets/log` without it being interpreted as an asset. Meta files currently have a `.meta` suffix. Do we like these names and conventions? ### Should the `AssetPlugin::processed_dev` configuration enable `watch_for_changes` automatically? Currently it does (which I think makes sense), but it does make it the only configuration that enables watch_for_changes by default. ### Discuss on_loaded High Level Interface: This PR includes a very rough "proof of concept" `on_loaded` system adapter that uses the `LoadedWithDependencies` event in combination with `asset_server.load_asset` dependency tracking to support this pattern ```rust fn main() { App::new() .init_asset::<MyAssets>() .add_systems(Update, on_loaded(create_array_texture)) .run(); } #[derive(Asset, Clone)] struct MyAssets { #[dependency] picture_of_my_cat: Handle<Image>, #[dependency] picture_of_my_other_cat: Handle<Image>, } impl FromWorld for ArrayTexture { fn from_world(world: &mut World) -> Self { picture_of_my_cat: server.load("meow.png"), picture_of_my_other_cat: server.load("meeeeeeeow.png"), } } fn spawn_cat(In(my_assets): In<MyAssets>, mut commands: Commands) { commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_cat.clone(), ..default() }); commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_other_cat.clone(), ..default() }); } ``` The implementation is _very_ rough. And it is currently unsafe because `bevy_ecs` doesn't expose some internals to do this safely from inside `bevy_asset`. There are plenty of unanswered questions like: * "do we add a Loadable" derive? (effectively automate the FromWorld implementation above) * Should `MyAssets` even be an Asset? (largely implemented this way because it elegantly builds on `server.load_asset(MyAsset { .. })` dependency tracking). We should think hard about what our ideal API looks like (and if this is a pattern we want to support). Not necessarily something we need to solve in this PR. The current `on_loaded` impl should probably be removed from this PR before merging. ## Clarifying Questions ### What about Assets as Entities? This Bevy Asset V2 proposal implementation initially stored Assets as ECS Entities. Instead of `AssetId<T>` + the `Assets<T>` resource it used `Entity` as the asset id and Asset values were just ECS components. There are plenty of compelling reasons to do this: 1. Easier to inline assets in Bevy Scenes (as they are "just" normal entities + components) 2. More flexible queries: use the power of the ECS to filter assets (ex: `Query<Mesh, With<Tree>>`). 3. Extensible. Users can add arbitrary component data to assets. 4. Things like "component visualization tools" work out of the box to visualize asset data. However Assets as Entities has a ton of caveats right now: * We need to be able to allocate entity ids without a direct World reference (aka rework id allocator in Entities ... i worked around this in my prototypes by just pre allocating big chunks of entities) * We want asset change events in addition to ECS change tracking ... how do we populate them when mutations can come from anywhere? Do we use Changed queries? This would require iterating over the change data for all assets every frame. Is this acceptable or should we implement a new "event based" component change detection option? * Reconciling manually created assets with asset-system managed assets has some nuance (ex: are they "loaded" / do they also have that component metadata?) * "how do we handle "static" / default entity handles" (ties in to the Entity Indices discussion: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/8319). This is necessary for things like "built in" assets and default handles in things like SpriteBundle. * Storing asset information as a component makes it easy to "invalidate" asset state by removing the component (or forcing modifications). Ideally we have ways to lock this down (some combination of Rust type privacy and ECS validation) In practice, how we store and identify assets is a reasonably superficial change (porting off of Assets as Entities and implementing dedicated storage + ids took less than a day). So once we sort out the remaining challenges the flip should be straightforward. Additionally, I do still have "Assets as Entities" in my commit history, so we can reuse that work. I personally think "assets as entities" is a good endgame, but it also doesn't provide _significant_ value at the moment and it certainly isn't ready yet with the current state of things. ### Why not Distill? [Distill](https://github.com/amethyst/distill) is a high quality fully featured asset system built in Rust. It is very natural to ask "why not just use Distill?". It is also worth calling out that for awhile, [we planned on adopting Distill / I signed off on it](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/708). However I think Bevy has a number of constraints that make Distill adoption suboptimal: * **Architectural Simplicity:** * Distill's processor requires an in-memory database (lmdb) and RPC networked API (using Cap'n Proto). Each of these introduces API complexity that increases maintenance burden and "code grokability". Ignoring tests, documentation, and examples, Distill has 24,237 lines of Rust code (including generated code for RPC + database interactions). If you ignore generated code, it has 11,499 lines. * Bevy builds the AssetProcessor and AssetServer using pluggable AssetReader/AssetWriter Rust traits with simple io interfaces. They do not necessitate databases or RPC interfaces (although Readers/Writers could use them if that is desired). Bevy Asset V2 (at the time of writing this PR) is 5,384 lines of Rust code (ignoring tests, documentation, and examples). Grain of salt: Distill does have more features currently (ex: Asset Packing, GUIDS, remote-out-of-process asset processor). I do plan to implement these features in Bevy Asset V2 and I personally highly doubt they will meaningfully close the 6115 lines-of-code gap. * This complexity gap (which while illustrated by lines of code, is much bigger than just that) is noteworthy to me. Bevy should be hackable and there are pillars of Distill that are very hard to understand and extend. This is a matter of opinion (and Bevy Asset V2 also has complicated areas), but I think Bevy Asset V2 is much more approachable for the average developer. * Necessary disclaimer: counting lines of code is an extremely rough complexity metric. Read the code and form your own opinions. * **Optional Asset Processing:** Not all Bevy Apps (or Bevy App developers) need / want asset preprocessing. Processing increases the complexity of the development environment by introducing things like meta files, imported asset storage, running processors in the background, waiting for processing to finish, etc. Distill _requires_ preprocessing to work. With Bevy Asset V2 processing is fully opt-in. The AssetServer isn't directly aware of asset processors at all. AssetLoaders only care about converting bytes to runtime Assets ... they don't know or care if the bytes were pre-processed or not. Processing is "elegantly" (forgive my self-congratulatory phrasing) layered on top and builds on the existing Asset system primitives. * **Direct Filesystem Access to Processed Asset State:** Distill stores processed assets in a database. This makes debugging / inspecting the processed outputs harder (either requires special tooling to query the database or they need to be "deployed" to be inspected). Bevy Asset V2, on the other hand, stores processed assets in the filesystem (by default ... this is configurable). This makes interacting with the processed state more natural. Note that both Godot and Unity's new asset system store processed assets in the filesystem. * **Portability**: Because Distill's processor uses lmdb and RPC networking, it cannot be run on certain platforms (ex: lmdb is a non-rust dependency that cannot run on the web, some platforms don't support running network servers). Bevy should be able to process assets everywhere (ex: run the Bevy Editor on the web, compile + process shaders on mobile, etc). Distill does partially mitigate this problem by supporting "streaming" assets via the RPC protocol, but this is not a full solve from my perspective. And Bevy Asset V2 can (in theory) also stream assets (without requiring RPC, although this isn't implemented yet) Note that I _do_ still think Distill would be a solid asset system for Bevy. But I think the approach in this PR is a better solve for Bevy's specific "asset system requirements". ### Doesn't async-fs just shim requests to "sync" `std::fs`? What is the point? "True async file io" has limited / spotty platform support. async-fs (and the rust async ecosystem generally ... ex Tokio) currently use async wrappers over std::fs that offload blocking requests to separate threads. This may feel unsatisfying, but it _does_ still provide value because it prevents our task pools from blocking on file system operations (which would prevent progress when there are many tasks to do, but all threads in a pool are currently blocking on file system ops). Additionally, using async APIs for our AssetReaders and AssetWriters also provides value because we can later add support for "true async file io" for platforms that support it. _And_ we can implement other "true async io" asset backends (such as networked asset io). ## Draft TODO - [x] Fill in missing filesystem event APIs: file removed event (which is expressed as dangling RenameFrom events in some cases), file/folder renamed event - [x] Assets without loaders are not moved to the processed folder. This breaks things like referenced `.bin` files for GLTFs. This should be configurable per-non-asset-type. - [x] Initial implementation of Reflect and FromReflect for Handle. The "deserialization" parity bar is low here as this only worked with static UUIDs in the old impl ... this is a non-trivial problem. Either we add a Handle::AssetPath variant that gets "upgraded" to a strong handle on scene load or we use a separate AssetRef type for Bevy scenes (which is converted to a runtime Handle on load). This deserves its own discussion in a different pr. - [x] Populate read_asset_bytes hash when run by the processor (a bit of a special case .. when run by the processor the processed meta will contain the hash so we don't need to compute it on the spot, but we don't want/need to read the meta when run by the main AssetServer) - [x] Delay hot reloading: currently filesystem events are handled immediately, which creates timing issues in some cases. For example hot reloading images can sometimes break because the image isn't finished writing. We should add a delay, likely similar to the [implementation in this PR](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8503). - [x] Port old platform-specific AssetIo implementations to the new AssetReader interface (currently missing Android and web) - [x] Resolve on_loaded unsafety (either by removing the API entirely or removing the unsafe) - [x] Runtime loader setting overrides - [x] Remove remaining unwraps that should be error-handled. There are number of TODOs here - [x] Pretty AssetPath Display impl - [x] Document more APIs - [x] Resolve spurious "reloading because it has changed" events (to repro run load_gltf with `processed_dev()`) - [x] load_dependency hot reloading currently only works for processed assets. If processing is disabled, load_dependency changes are not hot reloaded. - [x] Replace AssetInfo dependency load/fail counters with `loading_dependencies: HashSet<UntypedAssetId>` to prevent reloads from (potentially) breaking counters. Storing this will also enable "dependency reloaded" events (see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [x] Re-add filesystem watcher cargo feature gate (currently it is not optional) - [ ] Migration Guide - [ ] Changelog ## Followup TODO - [ ] Replace "eager unchanged processed asset loading" behavior with "don't returned unchanged processed asset until dependencies have been checked". - [ ] Add true `Ignore` AssetAction that does not copy the asset to the imported_assets folder. - [ ] Finish "live asset unloading" (ex: free up CPU asset memory after uploading an image to the GPU), rethink RenderAssets, and port renderer features. The `Assets` collection uses `Option<T>` for asset storage to support its removal. (1) the Option might not actually be necessary ... might be able to just remove from the collection entirely (2) need to finalize removal apis - [ ] Try replacing the "channel based" asset id recycling with something a bit more efficient (ex: we might be able to use raw atomic ints with some cleverness) - [ ] Consider adding UUIDs to processed assets (scoped just to helping identify moved assets ... not exposed to load queries ... see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [ ] Store "last modified" source asset and meta timestamps in processed meta files to enable skipping expensive hashing when the file wasn't changed - [ ] Fix "slow loop" handle drop fix - [ ] Migrate to TypeName - [x] Handle "loader preregistration". See #9429 ## Next Steps * **Configurable per-type defaults for AssetMeta**: It should be possible to add configuration like "all png image meta should default to using nearest sampling" (currently this hard-coded per-loader/processor Settings::default() impls). Also see the "Folder Meta" bullet point. * **Avoid Reprocessing on Asset Renames / Moves**: See the "canonical asset ids" discussion in [Open Questions](#open-questions) and the relevant bullet point in [Draft TODO](#draft-todo). Even without canonical ids, folder renames could avoid reprocessing in some cases. * **Multiple Asset Sources**: Expand AssetPath to support "asset source names" and support multiple AssetReaders in the asset server (ex: `webserver://some_path/image.png` backed by an Http webserver AssetReader). The "default" asset reader would use normal `some_path/image.png` paths. Ideally this works in combination with multiple AssetWatchers for hot-reloading * **Stable Type Names**: this pr removes the TypeUuid requirement from assets in favor of `std::any::type_name`. This makes defining assets easier (no need to generate a new uuid / use weird proc macro syntax). It also makes reading meta files easier (because things have "friendly names"). We also use type names for components in scene files. If they are good enough for components, they are good enough for assets. And consistency across Bevy pillars is desirable. However, `std::any::type_name` is not guaranteed to be stable (although in practice it is). We've developed a [stable type path](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7184) to resolve this, which should be adopted when it is ready. * **Command Line Interface**: It should be possible to run the asset processor in a separate process from the command line. This will also require building a network-server-backed AssetReader to communicate between the app and the processor. We've been planning to build a "bevy cli" for awhile. This seems like a good excuse to build it. * **Asset Packing**: This is largely an additive feature, so it made sense to me to punt this until we've laid the foundations in this PR. * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: It should be possible to generate assets for multiple platforms by supporting multiple "processor profiles" per asset (ex: compress with format X on PC and Y on iOS). I think there should probably be arbitrary "profiles" (which can be separate from actual platforms), which are then assigned to a given platform when generating the final asset distribution for that platform. Ex: maybe devs want a "Mobile" profile that is shared between iOS and Android. Or a "LowEnd" profile shared between web and mobile. * **Versioning and Migrations**: Assets, Loaders, Savers, and Processors need to have versions to determine if their schema is valid. If an asset / loader version is incompatible with the current version expected at runtime, the processor should be able to migrate them. I think we should try using Bevy Reflect for this, as it would allow us to load the old version as a dynamic Reflect type without actually having the old Rust type. It would also allow us to define "patches" to migrate between versions (Bevy Reflect devs are currently working on patching). The `.meta` file already has its own format version. Migrating that to new versions should also be possible. * **Real Copy-on-write AssetPaths**: Rust's actual Cow (clone-on-write type) currently used by AssetPath can still result in String clones that aren't actually necessary (cloning an Owned Cow clones the contents). Bevy's asset system requires cloning AssetPaths in a number of places, which result in actual clones of the internal Strings. This is not efficient. AssetPath internals should be reworked to exhibit truer cow-like-behavior that reduces String clones to the absolute minimum. * **Consider processor-less processing**: In theory the AssetServer could run processors "inline" even if the background AssetProcessor is disabled. If we decide this is actually desirable, we could add this. But I don't think its a priority in the short or medium term. * **Pre-emptive dependency loading**: We could encode dependencies in processed meta files, which could then be used by the Asset Server to kick of dependency loads as early as possible (prior to starting the actual asset load). Is this desirable? How much time would this save in practice? * **Optimize Processor With UntypedAssetIds**: The processor exclusively uses AssetPath to identify assets currently. It might be possible to swap these out for UntypedAssetIds in some places, which are smaller / cheaper to hash and compare. * **One to Many Asset Processing**: An asset source file that produces many assets currently must be processed into a single "processed" asset source. If labeled assets can be written separately they can each have their own configured savers _and_ they could be loaded more granularly. Definitely worth exploring! * **Automatically Track "Runtime-only" Asset Dependencies**: Right now, tracking "created at runtime" asset dependencies requires adding them via `asset_server.load_asset(StandardMaterial::default())`. I think with some cleverness we could also do this for `materials.add(StandardMaterial::default())`, making tracking work "everywhere". There are challenges here relating to change detection / ensuring the server is made aware of dependency changes. This could be expensive in some cases. * **"Dependency Changed" events**: Some assets have runtime artifacts that need to be re-generated when one of their dependencies change (ex: regenerate a material's bind group when a Texture needs to change). We are generating the dependency graph so we can definitely produce these events. Buuuuut generating these events will have a cost / they could be high frequency for some assets, so we might want this to be opt-in for specific cases. * **Investigate Storing More Information In Handles**: Handles can now store arbitrary information, which makes it cheaper and easier to access. How much should we move into them? Canonical asset load states (via atomics)? (`handle.is_loaded()` would be very cool). Should we store the entire asset and remove the `Assets<T>` collection? (`Arc<RwLock<Option<Image>>>`?) * **Support processing and loading files without extensions**: This is a pretty arbitrary restriction and could be supported with very minimal changes. * **Folder Meta**: It would be nice if we could define per folder processor configuration defaults (likely in a `.meta` or `.folder_meta` file). Things like "default to linear filtering for all Images in this folder". * **Replace async_broadcast with event-listener?** This might be approximately drop-in for some uses and it feels more light weight * **Support Running the AssetProcessor on the Web**: Most of the hard work is done here, but there are some easy straggling TODOs (make the transaction log an interface instead of a direct file writer so we can write a web storage backend, implement an AssetReader/AssetWriter that reads/writes to something like LocalStorage). * **Consider identifying and preventing circular dependencies**: This is especially important for "processor dependencies", as processing will silently never finish in these cases. * **Built-in/Inlined Asset Hot Reloading**: This PR regresses "built-in/inlined" asset hot reloading (previously provided by the DebugAssetServer). I'm intentionally punting this because I think it can be cleanly implemented with "multiple asset sources" by registering a "debug asset source" (ex: `debug://bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr.wgsl` asset paths) in combination with an AssetWatcher for that asset source and support for "manually loading pats with asset bytes instead of AssetReaders". The old DebugAssetServer was quite nasty and I'd love to avoid that hackery going forward. * **Investigate ways to remove double-parsing meta files**: Parsing meta files currently involves parsing once with "minimal" versions of the meta file to extract the type name of the loader/processor config, then parsing again to parse the "full" meta. This is suboptimal. We should be able to define custom deserializers that (1) assume the loader/processor type name comes first (2) dynamically looks up the loader/processor registrations to deserialize settings in-line (similar to components in the bevy scene format). Another alternative: deserialize as dynamic Reflect objects and then convert. * **More runtime loading configuration**: Support using the Handle type as a hint to select an asset loader (instead of relying on AssetPath extensions) * **More high level Processor trait implementations**: For example, it might be worth adding support for arbitrary chains of "asset transforms" that modify an in-memory asset representation between loading and saving. (ex: load a Mesh, run a `subdivide_mesh` transform, followed by a `flip_normals` transform, then save the mesh to an efficient compressed format). * **Bevy Scene Handle Deserialization**: (see the relevant [Draft TODO item](#draft-todo) for context) * **Explore High Level Load Interfaces**: See [this discussion](#discuss-on_loaded-high-level-interface) for one prototype. * **Asset Streaming**: It would be great if we could stream Assets (ex: stream a long video file piece by piece) * **ID Exchanging**: In this PR Asset Handles/AssetIds are bigger than they need to be because they have a Uuid enum variant. If we implement an "id exchanging" system that trades Uuids for "efficient runtime ids", we can cut down on the size of AssetIds, making them more efficient. This has some open design questions, such as how to spawn entities with "default" handle values (as these wouldn't have access to the exchange api in the current system). * **Asset Path Fixup Tooling**: Assets that inline asset paths inside them will break when an asset moves. The asset system provides the functionality to detect when paths break. We should build a framework that enables formats to define "path migrations". This is especially important for scene files. For editor-generated files, we should also consider using UUIDs (see other bullet point) to avoid the need to migrate in these cases. --------- Co-authored-by: BeastLe9enD <beastle9end@outlook.de> Co-authored-by: Mike <mike.hsu@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nicola Papale <nicopap@users.noreply.github.com> |

Make GridPlacement's fields non-zero and add accessor functions. (#9486)
# Objective * There is no way to read the fields of `GridPlacement` once set. * Values of `0` for `GridPlacement`'s fields are invalid but can be set. * A non-zero representation would be half the size. fixes #9474 ## Solution * Add `get_start`, `get_end` and `get_span` accessor methods. * Change`GridPlacement`'s constructor functions to panic on arguments of zero. * Use non-zero types instead of primitives for `GridPlacement`'s fields. --- ## Changelog `bevy_ui::ui_node::GridPlacement`: * Field types have been changed to `Option<NonZeroI16>` and `Option<NonZeroU16>`. This is because zero values are not valid for `GridPlacement`. Previously, Taffy interpreted these as auto variants. * Constructor functions for `GridPlacement` panic on arguments of `0`. * Added accessor functions: `get_start`, `get_end`, and `get_span`. These return the inner primitive value (if present) of the respective fields. ## Migration Guide `GridPlacement`'s constructor functions no longer accept values of `0`. Given any argument of `0` they will panic with a `GridPlacementError`. |

Added Val::ZERO Constant (#9566)
# Objective - Fixes #9533 ## Solution * Added `Val::ZERO` as a constant which is defined as `Val::Px(0.)`. * Added manual `PartialEq` implementation for `Val` which allows any zero value to equal any other zero value. E.g., `Val::Px(0.) == Val::Percent(0.)` etc. This is technically a breaking change, as `Val::Px(0.) == Val::Percent(0.)` now equals `true` instead of `false` (as an example) * Replaced instances of `Val::Px(0.)`, `Val::Percent(0.)`, etc. with `Val::ZERO` * Fixed `bevy_ui::layout::convert::tests::test_convert_from` test to account for Taffy not equating `Points(0.)` and `Percent(0.)`. These tests now use `assert_eq!(...)` instead of `assert!(matches!(...))` which gives easier to diagnose error messages. |

Divide by UiScale when converting UI coordinates from physical to logical (#8720)
# Objective
After the UI layout is computed when the coordinates are converted back
from physical coordinates to logical coordinates the `UiScale` is
ignored. This results in a confusing situation where we have two
different systems of logical coordinates.
Example:
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.add_systems(Update, update)
.run();
}
fn setup(mut commands: Commands, mut ui_scale: ResMut<UiScale>) {
ui_scale.scale = 4.;
commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
commands.spawn(NodeBundle {
style: Style {
align_items: AlignItems::Center,
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
width: Val::Percent(100.),
..Default::default()
},
..Default::default()
})
.with_children(|builder| {
builder.spawn(NodeBundle {
style: Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
..Default::default()
},
background_color: Color::MAROON.into(),
..Default::default()
}).with_children(|builder| {
builder.spawn(TextBundle::from_section("", TextStyle::default());
});
});
}
fn update(
mut text_query: Query<(&mut Text, &Parent)>,
node_query: Query<Ref<Node>>,
) {
for (mut text, parent) in text_query.iter_mut() {
let node = node_query.get(parent.get()).unwrap();
if node.is_changed() {
text.sections[0].value = format!("size: {}", node.size());
}
}
}
```
result:
We asked for a 100x100 UI node but the Node's size is multiplied by the
value of `UiScale` to give a logical size of 400x400.
## Solution
Divide the output physical coordinates by `UiScale` in
`ui_layout_system` and multiply the logical viewport size by `UiScale`
when creating the projection matrix for the UI's `ExtractedView` in
`extract_default_ui_camera_view`.
---
## Changelog
* The UI layout's physical coordinates are divided by both the window
scale factor and `UiScale` when converting them back to logical
coordinates. The logical size of Ui nodes now matches the values given
to their size constraints.
* Multiply the logical viewport size by `UiScale` before creating the
projection matrix for the UI's `ExtractedView` in
`extract_default_ui_camera_view`.
* In `ui_focus_system` the cursor position returned from `Window` is
divided by `UiScale`.
* Added a scale factor parameter to `Node::physical_size` and
`Node::physical_rect`.
* The example `viewport_debug` now uses a `UiScale` of 2. to ensure that
viewport coordinates are working correctly with a non-unit `UiScale`.
## Migration Guide
Physical UI coordinates are now divided by both the `UiScale` and the
window's scale factor to compute the logical sizes and positions of UI
nodes.
This ensures that UI Node size and position values, held by the `Node`
and `GlobalTransform` components, conform to the same logical coordinate
system as the style constraints from which they are derived,
irrespective of the current `scale_factor` and `UiScale`.

bevy_reflect: FromReflect Ergonomics Implementation (#6056)
# Objective **This implementation is based on https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/59.** --- Resolves #4597 Full details and motivation can be found in the RFC, but here's a brief summary. `FromReflect` is a very powerful and important trait within the reflection API. It allows Dynamic types (e.g., `DynamicList`, etc.) to be formed into Real ones (e.g., `Vec<i32>`, etc.). This mainly comes into play concerning deserialization, where the reflection deserializers both return a `Box<dyn Reflect>` that almost always contain one of these Dynamic representations of a Real type. To convert this to our Real type, we need to use `FromReflect`. It also sneaks up in other ways. For example, it's a required bound for `T` in `Vec<T>` so that `Vec<T>` as a whole can be made `FromReflect`. It's also required by all fields of an enum as it's used as part of the `Reflect::apply` implementation. So in other words, much like `GetTypeRegistration` and `Typed`, it is very much a core reflection trait. The problem is that it is not currently treated like a core trait and is not automatically derived alongside `Reflect`. This makes using it a bit cumbersome and easy to forget. ## Solution Automatically derive `FromReflect` when deriving `Reflect`. Users can then choose to opt-out if needed using the `#[reflect(from_reflect = false)]` attribute. ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo; #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(from_reflect = false)] struct Bar; fn test<T: FromReflect>(value: T) {} test(Foo); // <-- OK test(Bar); // <-- Panic! Bar does not implement trait `FromReflect` ``` #### `ReflectFromReflect` This PR also automatically adds the `ReflectFromReflect` (introduced in #6245) registration to the derived `GetTypeRegistration` impl— if the type hasn't opted out of `FromReflect` of course. <details> <summary><h4>Improved Deserialization</h4></summary> > **Warning** > This section includes changes that have since been descoped from this PR. They will likely be implemented again in a followup PR. I am mainly leaving these details in for archival purposes, as well as for reference when implementing this logic again. And since we can do all the above, we might as well improve deserialization. We can now choose to deserialize into a Dynamic type or automatically convert it using `FromReflect` under the hood. `[Un]TypedReflectDeserializer::new` will now perform the conversion and return the `Box`'d Real type. `[Un]TypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` will work like what we have now and simply return the `Box`'d Dynamic type. ```rust // Returns the Real type let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new(®istry); let mut deserializer = ron:🇩🇪:Deserializer::from_str(input)?; let output: SomeStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; // Returns the Dynamic type let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic(®istry); let mut deserializer = ron:🇩🇪:Deserializer::from_str(input)?; let output: DynamicStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; ``` </details> --- ## Changelog * `FromReflect` is now automatically derived within the `Reflect` derive macro * This includes auto-registering `ReflectFromReflect` in the derived `GetTypeRegistration` impl * ~~Renamed `TypedReflectDeserializer::new` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new` to `TypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic`, respectively~~ **Descoped** * ~~Changed `TypedReflectDeserializer::new` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new` to automatically convert the deserialized output using `FromReflect`~~ **Descoped** ## Migration Guide * `FromReflect` is now automatically derived within the `Reflect` derive macro. Items with both derives will need to remove the `FromReflect` one. ```rust // OLD #[derive(Reflect, FromReflect)] struct Foo; // NEW #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo; ``` If using a manual implementation of `FromReflect` and the `Reflect` derive, users will need to opt-out of the automatic implementation. ```rust // OLD #[derive(Reflect)] struct Foo; impl FromReflect for Foo {/* ... */} // NEW #[derive(Reflect)] #[reflect(from_reflect = false)] struct Foo; impl FromReflect for Foo {/* ... */} ``` <details> <summary><h4>Removed Migrations</h4></summary> > **Warning** > This section includes changes that have since been descoped from this PR. They will likely be implemented again in a followup PR. I am mainly leaving these details in for archival purposes, as well as for reference when implementing this logic again. * The reflect deserializers now perform a `FromReflect` conversion internally. The expected output of `TypedReflectDeserializer::new` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new` is no longer a Dynamic (e.g., `DynamicList`), but its Real counterpart (e.g., `Vec<i32>`). ```rust let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic(®istry); let mut deserializer = ron:🇩🇪:Deserializer::from_str(input)?; // OLD let output: DynamicStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; // NEW let output: SomeStruct = reflect_deserializer.deserialize(&mut deserializer)?.take()?; ``` Alternatively, if this behavior isn't desired, use the `TypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` and `UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic` methods instead: ```rust // OLD let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new(®istry); // NEW let reflect_deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new_dynamic(®istry); ``` </details> --------- Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> |

UI texture atlas support (#8822)
# Objective This adds support for using texture atlas sprites in UI. From discussions today in the ui-dev discord it seems this is a much wanted feature. This was previously attempted in #5070 by @ManevilleF however that was blocked #5103. This work can be easily modified to support #5103 changes after that merges. ## Solution I created a new UI bundle that reuses the existing texture atlas infrastructure. I create a new atlas image component to prevent it from being drawn by the existing non-UI systems and to remove unused parameters. In extract I added new system to calculate the required values for the texture atlas image, this extracts into the same resource as the existing UI Image and Text components. This should have minimal performance impact because if texture atlas is not present then the exact same code path is followed. Also there should be no unintended behavior changes because without the new components the existing systems write the extract same resulting data. I also added an example showing the sprite working and a system to advance the animation on space bar presses. Naming is hard and I would accept any feedback on the bundle name! --- ## Changelog > Added TextureAtlasImageBundle --------- Co-authored-by: ickshonpe <david.curthoys@googlemail.com> |

Add UiRect::px() and UiRect::percent() utils (#8866)
# Objective Make the UI code more concise. ## Solution Add two utility methods to make manipulating `UiRect` from code more concise: - `UiRect::px()` create a new `UiRect` like the `new()` function, but with values in logical pixels directly. - `UiRect::percent()` is similar, with values as percentages. This saves a lot of typing and makes UI code more compact while retaining readability. --- ## Changelog ### Added Added two new constructors `UiRect::px()` and `UiRect::percent()` to create a new `UiRect` from values directly specified in logical pixels and percentages, respectively. The argument order is the same as `UiRect::new()`, but avoids having to repeat `Val::Px` and `Val::Percent`, respectively. |

# Objective - Simplify API and make authoring styles easier See: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8540#issuecomment-1536177102 ## Solution - The `size`, `min_size`, `max_size`, and `gap` properties have been replaced by `width`, `height`, `min_width`, `min_height`, `max_width`, `max_height`, `row_gap`, and `column_gap` properties --- ## Changelog - Flattened `Style` properties that have a `Size` value directly into `Style` ## Migration Guide - The `size`, `min_size`, `max_size`, and `gap` properties have been replaced by the `width`, `height`, `min_width`, `min_height`, `max_width`, `max_height`, `row_gap`, and `column_gap` properties. Use the new properties instead. --------- Co-authored-by: ickshonpe <david.curthoys@googlemail.com> |

Fix Node::physical_rect and add a physical_size method (#8551)
# Objective * `Node::physical_rect` divides the logical size of the node by the scale factor, when it should multiply. * Add a `physical_size` method to `Node` that calculates the physical size of a node. --- ## Changelog * Added a method `physical_size` to `Node` that calculates the physical size of the `Node` based on the given scale factor. * Fixed the `Node::physical_rect` method, the logical size should be multiplied by the scale factor to get the physical size. * Removed the `scale_value` function from the `text` widget module and replaced its usage with `Node::physical_size`. * Derived `Copy` for `Node` (since it's only a wrapped `Vec2`). * Made `Node::size` const. |

bevy_ui: Add FromReflect derives (#8495)
# Objective A lot of items in `bevy_ui` could be `FromReflect` but aren't. This prevents users and library authors from being able to convert from a `dyn Reflect` to one of these items. ## Solution Derive `FromReflect` where possible. Also register the `ReflectFromReflect` type data. |

Split UI Overflow by axis (#8095)
# Objective Split the UI overflow enum so that overflow can be set for each axis separately. ## Solution Change `Overflow` from an enum to a struct with `x` and `y` `OverflowAxis` fields, where `OverflowAxis` is an enum with `Clip` and `Visible` variants.

If only one axis is clipped, the other axis is given infinite bounds. <img width="642" alt="overflow" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27962798/227592983-568cf76f-7e40-48c4-a511-43c886f5e431.PNG"> --- ## Changelog * Split the UI overflow implementation so overflow can be set for each axis separately. * Added the enum `OverflowAxis` with `Clip` and `Visible` variants. * Changed `Overflow` to a struct with `x` and `y` fields of type `OverflowAxis`. * `Overflow` has new methods `visible()` and `hidden()` that replace its previous `Clip` and `Visible` variants. * Added `Overflow` helper methods `clip_x()` and `clip_y()` that return a new `Overflow` value with the given axis clipped. * Modified `update_clipping` so it calculates clipping for each axis separately.

Add CSS Grid support to bevy_ui (#8026)
# Objective An easy way to create 2D grid layouts ## Solution Enable the `grid` feature in Taffy and add new style types for defining grids. ## Notes - ~I'm having a bit of trouble getting `#[derive(Reflect)]` to work properly. Help with that would be appreciated (EDIT: got it to compile by ignoring the problematic fields, but this presumably can't be merged).~ This is now fixed - ~The alignment types now have a `Normal` variant because I couldn't get reflect to work with `Option`.~ I've decided to stick with the flattened variant, as it saves a level of wrapping when authoring styles. But I've renamed the variants from `Normal` to `Default`. - ~This currently exposes a simplified API on top of grid. In particular the following is not currently supported:~ - ~Negative grid indices~ Now supported. - ~Custom `end` values for grid placement (you can only use `start` and `span`)~ Now supported - ~`minmax()` track sizing functions~ minmax is now support through a `GridTrack::minmax()` constructor - ~`repeat()`~ repeat is now implemented as `RepeatedGridTrack` - ~Documentation still needs to be improved.~ An initial pass over the documentation has been completed. ## Screenshot <img width="846" alt="Screenshot 2023-03-10 at 17 56 21" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1007307/224435332-69aa9eac-123d-4856-b75d-5449d3f1d426.png"> --- ## Changelog - Support for CSS Grid layout added to `bevy_ui` --------- Co-authored-by: Rob Parrett <robparrett@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Andreas Weibye <13300393+Weibye@users.noreply.github.com> |

text_system split (#7779)
# Objective `text_system` runs before the UI layout is calculated and the size of the text node is determined, so it cannot correctly shape the text to fit the layout, and has no way of determining if the text needs to be wrapped. The function `text_constraint` attempts to determine the size of the node from the local size constraints in the `Style` component. It can't be made to work, you have to compute the whole layout to get the correct size. A simple example of where this fails completely is a text node set to stretch to fill the empty space adjacent to a node with size constraints set to `Val::Percent(50.)`. The text node will take up half the space, even though its size constraints are `Val::Auto` Also because the `text_system` queries for changes to the `Style` component, when a style value is changed that doesn't affect the node's geometry the text is recomputed unnecessarily. Querying on changes to `Node` is not much better. The UI layout is changed to fit the `CalculatedSize` of the text, so the size of the node is changed and so the text and UI layout get recalculated multiple times from a single change to a `Text`. Also, the `MeasureFunc` doesn't work at all, it doesn't have enough information to fit the text correctly and makes no attempt. Fixes #7663, #6717, #5834, #1490, ## Solution Split the `text_system` into two functions: * `measure_text_system` which calculates the size constraints for the text node and runs before `UiSystem::Flex` * `text_system` which runs after `UiSystem::Flex` and generates the actual text. * Fix the `MeasureFunc` calculations. --- Text wrapping in main: <img width="961" alt="Capturemain" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27962798/220425740-4fe4bf46-24fb-4685-a1cf-bc01e139e72d.PNG"> With this PR: <img width="961" alt="captured_wrap" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/27962798/220425807-949996b0-f127-4637-9f33-56a6da944fb0.PNG"> ## Changelog * Removed the previous fields from `CalculatedSize`. `CalculatedSize` now contains a boxed `Measure`. * Added `measurement` module to `bevy_ui`. * Added the method `create_text_measure` to `TextPipeline`. * Added a new system `measure_text_system` that runs before `UiSystem::Flex` that creates a `MeasureFunc` for the text. * Rescheduled `text_system` to run after `UiSystem::Flex`. * Added a trait `Measure`. A `Measure` is used to compute the size of a UI node when the size of that node is based on its content. * Added `ImageMeasure` and `TextMeasure` which implement `Measure`. * Added a new component `UiImageSize` which is used by `update_image_calculated_size_system` to track image size changes. * Added a `UiImageSize` component to `ImageBundle`. ## Migration Guide `ImageBundle` has a new component `UiImageSize` which contains the size of the image bundle's texture and is updated automatically by `update_image_calculated_size_system` --------- Co-authored-by: François <mockersf@gmail.com> |

Val viewport unit variants (#8137)
# Objective Add viewport variants to `Val` that specify a percentage length based on the size of the window. ## Solution Add the variants `Vw`, `Vh`, `VMin` and `VMax` to `Val`. Add a physical window size parameter to the `from_style` function and use it to convert the viewport variants to Taffy Points values. One issue: It isn't responsive to window resizes. So `flex_node_system` has to do a full update every time the window size changes. Perhaps this can be fixed with support from Taffy. --- ## Changelog * Added `Val` viewport unit variants `Vw`, `Vh`, `VMin` and `VMax`. * Modified `convert` module to support the new `Val` variants. * Changed `flex_node_system` to support the new `Val` variants. * Perform full layout update on screen resizing, to propagate the new viewport size to all nodes. |

```rust
pub enum AlignSelf {
/// Use the value of [`AlignItems`]
Auto,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will be at the start
FlexStart,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will be at the end
FlexEnd,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::FlexStart`] only this item will be at the center
Center,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will be at the baseline
Baseline,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will stretch along the whole cross axis

}
```
Actual behaviour of `AlignSelf` in Bevy main:

The white label at the top of each column is the parent node's `AlignItems` setting.
`AlignSelf` is always applied, not (as the documentation states) only when the parent has `AlignItems::Center` or `AlignItems::FlexStart` set.

Add const to methods and const defaults to bevy_ui (#5542)
# Objective - Fixes #5529 ## Solution - Add assosciated constants named DEFAULT to as many types as possible - Add const to as many methods in bevy_ui as possible I have not applied the same treatment to the bundles in bevy_ui as it would require going into other bevy crates to implement const defaults for structs in bevy_text or relies on UiImage which calls HandleUntyped.typed() which isn't const safe. Alternatively the defaults could relatively easily be turned into a macro to regain some of the readability and conciseness at the cost of explicitness. Such a macro that partially implements this exists as a crate here: [const-default](https://docs.rs/const-default/latest/const_default/derive.ConstDefault.html) but does not support enums. Let me know if there's anything I've missed or if I should push further into other crates. Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> |

text aspect ratio bug fix (#6825)
## Objective Bevy UI uses a `MeasureFunc` that preserves the aspect ratio of text, not just images. This means that the extent of flex-items containing text may be calculated incorrectly depending on the ratio of the text size compared to the size of its containing node. Fixes #6748 Related to #6724 with Bevy 0.9:  with this PR (accurately matching the behavior of Flexbox):  ## Solution Only perform the aspect ratio calculations if the uinode contains an image. ## Changelog * Added a field `preserve_aspect_ratio` to `CalculatedSize` * The `MeasureFunc` only preserves the aspect ratio when `preserve_aspect_ratio` is true. * `update_image_calculated_size_system` sets `preserve_aspect_ratio` to true for nodes with images. |

Add z-index support with a predictable UI stack (#5877)
# Objective Add consistent UI rendering and interaction where deep nodes inside two different hierarchies will never render on top of one-another by default and offer an escape hatch (z-index) for nodes to change their depth. ## The problem with current implementation The current implementation of UI rendering is broken in that regard, mainly because [it sets the Z value of the `Transform` component based on a "global Z" space](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/crates/bevy_ui/src/update.rs#L43) shared by all nodes in the UI. This doesn't account for the fact that each node's final `GlobalTransform` value will be relative to its parent. This effectively makes the depth unpredictable when two deep trees are rendered on top of one-another. At the moment, it's also up to each part of the UI code to sort all of the UI nodes. The solution that's offered here does the full sorting of UI node entities once and offers the result through a resource so that all systems can use it. ## Solution ### New ZIndex component This adds a new optional `ZIndex` enum component for nodes which offers two mechanism: - `ZIndex::Local(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to its siblings. - `ZIndex::Global(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to the UI root. This basically allows any node in the tree to "escape" the parent and be ordered relative to the entire UI. Note that in the current implementation, omitting `ZIndex` on a node has the same result as adding `ZIndex::Local(0)`. Additionally, the "global" stacking context is essentially a way to add your node to the root stacking context, so using `ZIndex::Local(n)` on a root node (one without parent) will share that space with all nodes using `Index::Global(n)`. ### New UiStack resource This adds a new `UiStack` resource which is calculated from both hierarchy and `ZIndex` during UI update and contains a vector of all node entities in the UI, ordered by depth (from farthest from camera to closest). This is exposed publicly by the bevy_ui crate with the hope that it can be used for consistent ordering and to reduce the amount of sorting that needs to be done by UI systems (i.e. instead of sorting everything by `global_transform.z` in every system, this array can be iterated over). ### New z_index example This also adds a new z_index example that showcases the new `ZIndex` component. It's also a good general demo of the new UI stack system, because making this kind of UI was very broken with the old system (e.g. nodes would render on top of each other, not respecting hierarchy or insert order at all).  --- ## Changelog - Added the `ZIndex` component to bevy_ui. - Added the `UiStack` resource to bevy_ui, and added implementation in a new `stack.rs` module. - Removed the previous Z updating system from bevy_ui, because it was replaced with the above. - Changed bevy_ui rendering to use UiStack instead of z ordering. - Changed bevy_ui focus/interaction system to use UiStack instead of z ordering. - Added a new z_index example. ## ZIndex demo Here's a demo I wrote to test these features https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1060971/188329295-d7beebd6-9aee-43ab-821e-d437df5dbe8a.mp4 Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> |

Utility methods for Val (#6134)
# Objective Adds a better interface for performing mathematical operations with UI unit `Val`. Fixes #6080. ## Solution - Added `try_add` and `try_sub` methods to Val. - Removed the `Add` and `AddAssign` impls for `Val` that introduced unintuitive and bug-prone behaviour. - As a consequence of the prior, ~~changed the `Add` and `Sub` impls for the `Size` struct to take a `(Val, Val)` instead of `Vec2`~~ deleted the `Add` and `Sub` impls for the `Size` struct - Added a `From<(Val, Val)>` impl for the `Size` struct - Added `evaluate(size: f32)` method that converts from `Val::Percent` to `Val::Px`. - Added `try_add_with_size` and `try_sub_with_size` methods to `Val`, which evaluate `Val::Percent` values into `Val::Px` values before adding. --- ## Migration Guide Instead of using the + and - operators, perform calculations on `Val`s using the new `try_add` and `try_sub` methods. Multiplication and division remained unchanged. Also, when adding or subtracting from `Size`, ~~use a `Val` tuple instead of `Vec2`~~ perform the addition on `width` and `height` separately.

This looks like a new dependency, but the `bevy_reflect` was "cheating" for other math types by directly depending on `glam` to reflect other math types, thereby giving the illusion that there was no dependency on `bevy_math`. In practice conceptually Bevy's math types are reflected into the `bevy_reflect` crate to avoid a dependency of that crate to a "lower level" utility crate like `bevy_math` (which in turn would make `bevy_reflect` be a dependency of most other crates, and increase the risk of circular dependencies). So this change simply formalizes that dependency in `Cargo.toml`. The `Rect` struct is also augmented in this change with a collection of utility methods to improve its usability. A few uses cases are updated to use those new methods, resulting is more clear and concise syntax. --- ## Changelog ### Changed - Moved the `sprite::Rect` type into `bevy_math`. ### Added - Added several utility methods to the `math::Rect` type. ## Migration Guide The `bevy::sprite::Rect` type moved to the math utility crate as `bevy::math::Rect`. You should change your imports from `use bevy::sprite::Rect` to `use bevy::math::Rect`. |
