# Objective
Plugins are an incredible tool for encapsulating functionality. They are
low-key one of Bevy's best features. Combined with rust's module and
privacy system, it's a match made in heaven.
The one downside is that they can be a little too verbose to define. 90%
of all plugin definitions look something like this:
```rust
pub struct MyPlugin;
impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
fn build(&self, app: &mut App) {
app.init_resource::<CameraAssets>()
.add_event::<SetCamera>()
.add_systems(Update, (collect_set_camera_events, drive_camera).chain());
}
}
```
Every so often it gets a little spicier:
```rust
pub struct MyGenericPlugin<T>(PhantomData<T>);
impl<T> Default for MyGenericPlugin<T> {
fn default() -> Self { ... }
}
impl<T> Plugin for MyGenericPlugin<T> { ... }
```
This is an annoying amount of boilerplate. Ideally, plugins should be
focused and small in scope, which means any app is going to have a *lot*
of them. Writing a plugin should be as easy as possible, and the *only*
part of this process that carries any meaning is the body of `fn build`.
## Solution
Implement `Plugin` for functions that take `&mut App` as a parameter.
The two examples above now look like this:
```rust
pub fn my_plugin(app: &mut App) {
app.init_resource::<CameraAssets>()
.add_event::<SetCamera>()
.add_systems(Update, (collect_set_camera_events, drive_camera).chain());
}
pub fn my_generic_plugin<T>(app: &mut App) {
// No need for PhantomData, it just works.
}
```
Almost all plugins can be written this way, which I believe will make
bevy code much more attractive. Less boilerplate and less meaningless
indentation. More plugins with smaller scopes.
---
## Changelog
The `Plugin` trait is now implemented for all functions that take `&mut
App` as their only parameter. This is an abbreviated way of defining
plugins with less boilerplate than manually implementing the trait.

# Objective
One of a few Bevy Asset improvements I would like to make: #11216.
Currently asset processing and asset saving are handled by the same
trait, `AssetSaver`. This makes it difficult to reuse saving
implementations and impossible to have a single "universal" saver for a
given asset type.
## Solution
This PR splits off the processing portion of `AssetSaver` into
`AssetTransformer`, which is responsible for transforming assets. This
change involves adding the `LoadTransformAndSave` processor, which
utilizes the new API. The `LoadAndSave` still exists since it remains
useful in situations where no "transformation" of the asset is done,
such as when compressing assets.
## Notes:
As an aside, Bikeshedding is welcome on the names. I'm not entirely
convinced by `AssetTransformer`, which was chosen mostly because
`AssetProcessor` is taken. Additionally, `LoadTransformSave` may be
sufficient instead of `LoadTransformAndSave`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `AssetTransformer` which is responsible for transforming Assets.
- `LoadTransformAndSave`, a `Process` implementation.
### Changed
- Changed `AssetSaver`'s responsibilities from processing and saving to
just saving.
- Updated `asset_processing` example to use new API.
- Old asset .meta files regenerated with new processor.
# Objective
Keep core dependencies up to date.
## Solution
Update the dependencies.
wgpu 0.19 only supports raw-window-handle (rwh) 0.6, so bumping that was
included in this.
The rwh 0.6 version bump is just the simplest way of doing it. There
might be a way we can take advantage of wgpu's new safe surface creation
api, but I'm not familiar enough with bevy's window management to
untangle it and my attempt ended up being a mess of lifetimes and rustc
complaining about missing trait impls (that were implemented). Thanks to
@MiniaczQ for the (much simpler) rwh 0.6 version bump code.
Unblocks https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9172 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10812
~~This might be blocked on cpal and oboe updating their ndk versions to
0.8, as they both currently target ndk 0.7 which uses rwh 0.5.2~~ Tested
on android, and everything seems to work correctly (audio properly stops
when minimized, and plays when re-focusing the app).
---
## Changelog
- `wgpu` has been updated to 0.19! The long awaited arcanization has
been merged (for more info, see
https://gfx-rs.github.io/2023/11/24/arcanization.html), and Vulkan
should now be working again on Intel GPUs.
- Targeting WebGPU now requires that you add the new `webgpu` feature
(setting the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable to
`--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis` is still required). This feature currently
overrides the `webgl2` feature if you have both enabled (the `webgl2`
feature is enabled by default), so it is not recommended to add it as a
default feature to libraries without putting it behind a flag that
allows library users to opt out of it! In the future we plan on
supporting wasm binaries that can target both webgl2 and webgpu now that
wgpu added support for doing so (see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11505).
- `raw-window-handle` has been updated to version 0.6.
## Migration Guide
- `bevy_render::instance_index::get_instance_index()` has been removed
as the webgl2 workaround is no longer required as it was fixed upstream
in wgpu. The `BASE_INSTANCE_WORKAROUND` shaderdef has also been removed.
- WebGPU now requires the new `webgpu` feature to be enabled. The
`webgpu` feature currently overrides the `webgl2` feature so you no
longer need to disable all default features and re-add them all when
targeting `webgpu`, but binaries built with both the `webgpu` and
`webgl2` features will only target the webgpu backend, and will only
work on browsers that support WebGPU.
- Places where you conditionally compiled things for webgl2 need to be
updated because of this change, eg:
- `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl"), not(target_arch = "wasm32")))]`
becomes `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl") ,not(target_arch = "wasm32"),
feature = "webgpu"))]`
- `#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))]` becomes
`#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))]`
- `if cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))` becomes `if
cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))`
- `create_texture_with_data` now also takes a `TextureDataOrder`. You
can probably just set this to `TextureDataOrder::default()`
- `TextureFormat`'s `block_size` has been renamed to `block_copy_size`
- See the `wgpu` changelog for anything I might've missed:

# Objective
- Fixes#11516
## Solution
- Add Animated Material example (colors are hue-cycling smoothly
per-mesh)
Note: this example reproduces the perf issue found in #10610 pretty
consistently, with and without the changes from that PR included. Frame
time is sometimes around 4.3ms, other times around 12-14ms. Its pretty
random per run. I think this clears #10610 for merge.
# Objective
Fixes#11411
## Solution
- Added a simple example how to create and configure custom schedules
that are run by the `Main` schedule.
- Spot checked some of the API docs used, fixed `App::add_schedule` docs
that referred to a function argument that was removed by #9600.
## Open Questions
- While spot checking the docs, I noticed that the `Schedule` label is
stored in a field called `name` instead of `label`. This seems
unintuitive since the term label is used everywhere else. Should we
change that field name? It was introduced in #9600. If so, I do think
this change would be out of scope for this PR that mainly adds the
example.
# Objective
Fixes#10414.
That issue and its comments do a great job of laying out the case for
this.
## Solution
Added an optional `spatial_scale` field to `PlaybackSettings`, which
overrides the default value set on `AudioPlugin`.
## Changelog
- `AudioPlugin::spatial_scale` has been renamed to
`default_spatial_scale`.
- `SpatialScale` is no longer a resource and is wrapped by
`DefaultSpatialScale`.
- Added an optional `spatial_scale` to `PlaybackSettings`.
## Migration Guide
`AudioPlugin::spatial_scale` has been renamed to `default_spatial_scale`
and the default spatial scale can now be overridden on individual audio
sources with `PlaybackSettings::spatial_scale`.
If you were modifying or reading `SpatialScale` at run time, use
`DefaultSpatialScale` instead.
```rust
// before
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AudioPlugin {
spatial_scale: SpatialScale::new(AUDIO_SCALE),
..default()
}));
// after
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AudioPlugin {
default_spatial_scale: SpatialScale::new(AUDIO_SCALE),
..default()
}));
```
# Objective
TypeUuid is deprecated, remove it.
## Migration Guide
Convert any uses of `#[derive(TypeUuid)]` with `#[derive(TypePath]` for
more complex uses see the relevant

## Solution
Use an empty set of args on the web.
## Discussion
Maybe in the future we could wrap this so that we can use query args on
the web or something, but this was the minimum changeset I could think
of to keep the functionality and make them not panic on the web.
# Objective
Since #10339, the contrast in this example has been very low. While I
was in there, I made a few other tweaks to the style.
Alternative to #10102.
## Solution
- Increase brightness of inactive buttons for higher contrast on the new
clear color
- Combine `DEAD_COLOR` and `EXTENT_COLOR`. These were using the same
value, and combining them might make the intent a little clearer. (This
is the single color for "not the live zone.")
- Make the "stick buttons" slightly smaller, so it's a bit more obvious
that they are sitting inside of the default dead zone.
- Remove explicit text color -- it was the same as the default
- Add top-left margin to the text in the top left, and change the font
size to better match other examples with text in the corner.

# Objective
- Fix a memory leak in the dynamic ECS example mentioned in #11459
## Solution
- Rather than allocate the memory manually instead store a collection of
`Vec` that will be dropped after it is used.
---
I must have misinterpreted `OwningPtr`s semantics when initially writing
this example. I believe we should be able to provide better APIs here
for inserting dynamic components that don't require the user to wrangle
so much unsafety. We have no other examples using `insert_by_ids` and
our only tests show it being used for 1 or 2 values with nested calls to
`OwningPtr::make` despite the function taking an iterator. Rust's type
system is quite restrictive here but we could at least let
`OwningPtr::new` take non u8 `NonNull`.
I also agree with #11459 that we should generally be trying to simplify
and clarify this example.
# Objective
- Prep for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164
- Make deferred_lighting_pass_id a ColorAttachment
- Correctly extract shadow view frusta so that the view uniforms get

> 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.

# 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`.

# Objective
Fix weird visuals when drawing a gizmo with a non-normed normal.
Fixes#11401
## Solution
Just normalize right before we draw. Could do it when constructing the
builder but that seems less consistent.
## Changelog
- gizmos.circle normal is now a Direction3d instead of a Vec3.
## Migration Guide
- Pass a Direction3d for gizmos.circle normal, eg.
`Direction3d::new(vec).unwrap_or(default)` or potentially
`Direction3d::new_unchecked(vec)` if you know your vec is definitely
normalized.
# Objective
Currently, the `primitives` module is inside of the prelude for
`bevy_math`, but the actual primitives are not. This requires either
importing the shapes everywhere that uses them, or adding the
`primitives::` prefix:
```rust
let rectangle = meshes.add(primitives::Rectangle::new(5.0, 2.5));
```
(Note: meshing isn't actually implemented yet, but it's in #11431)
The primitives are meant to be used for a variety of tasks across
several crates, like for meshing, bounding volumes, gizmos, colliders,
and so on, so I think having them in the prelude is justified. It would
make several common tasks a lot more ergonomic.
```rust
let rectangle = meshes.add(Rectangle::new(5.0, 2.5));
```
## Solution
Add `primitives::*` to `bevy_math::prelude`.

# Objective
Implements #9216
## Solution
- Replace `DiagnosticId` by `DiagnosticPath`. It's pre-hashed using
`const-fnv1a-hash` crate, so it's possible to create path in const
contexts.
---
## Changelog
- Replaced `DiagnosticId` by `DiagnosticPath`
- Set default history length to 120 measurements (2 seconds on 60 fps).
I've noticed hardcoded constant 20 everywhere and decided to change it
to `DEFAULT_MAX_HISTORY_LENGTH` , which is set to new diagnostics by
default. To override it, use `with_max_history_length`.
## Migration Guide
```diff
- const UNIQUE_DIAG_ID: DiagnosticId = DiagnosticId::from_u128(42);
+ const UNIQUE_DIAG_PATH: DiagnosticPath = DiagnosticPath::const_new("foo/bar");
- Diagnostic::new(UNIQUE_DIAG_ID, "example", 10)

# Objective
- `FromType<T>` for `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` currently
require `T: FromWorld` for two reasons:
- they include a `from_world` method;
- they create dummy `T`s using `FromWorld` and then `apply` a `&dyn
Reflect` to it to simulate `FromReflect`.
- However `FromWorld`/`Default` may be difficult/weird/impractical to
implement, while `FromReflect` is easier and also more natural for the
job.
- See also
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1146022009554337792
## Solution
- Split `from_world` from `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` into
its own `ReflectFromWorld` struct.
- Replace the requirement on `FromWorld` in `ReflectComponent` and
`ReflectBundle` with `FromReflect`
---
## Changelog
- `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` no longer offer a `from_world`
method.
- `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle`'s `FromType<T>` implementation
no longer requires `T: FromWorld`, but now requires `FromReflect`.
- `ReflectComponent::insert`, `ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert` and
`ReflectComponent::copy` now take an extra `&TypeRegistry` parameter.
- There is now a new `ReflectFromWorld` struct.
## Migration Guide
- Existing uses of `ReflectComponent::from_world` and
`ReflectBundle::from_world` will have to be changed to
`ReflectFromWorld::from_world`.
- Users of `#[reflect(Component)]` and `#[reflect(Bundle)]` will need to
also implement/derive `FromReflect`.
- Users of `#[reflect(Component)]` and `#[reflect(Bundle)]` may now want
to also add `FromWorld` to the list of reflected traits in case their
`FromReflect` implementation may fail.
- Users of `ReflectComponent` will now need to pass a `&TypeRegistry` to
its `insert`, `apply_or_insert` and `copy` methods.
This pull request re-submits #10057, which was backed out for breaking
macOS, iOS, and Android. I've tested this version on macOS and Android
and on the iOS simulator.
# Objective
This pull request implements *reflection probes*, which generalize
environment maps to allow for multiple environment maps in the same
scene, each of which has an axis-aligned bounding box. This is a
standard feature of physically-based renderers and was inspired by [the
corresponding feature in Blender's Eevee renderer].
## Solution
This is a minimal implementation of reflection probes that allows
artists to define cuboid bounding regions associated with environment
maps. For every view, on every frame, a system builds up a list of the
nearest 4 reflection probes that are within the view's frustum and
supplies that list to the shader. The PBR fragment shader searches
through the list, finds the first containing reflection probe, and uses
it for indirect lighting, falling back to the view's environment map if
none is found. Both forward and deferred renderers are fully supported.
A reflection probe is an entity with a pair of components, *LightProbe*
and *EnvironmentMapLight* (as well as the standard *SpatialBundle*, to
position it in the world). The *LightProbe* component (along with the
*Transform*) defines the bounding region, while the
*EnvironmentMapLight* component specifies the associated diffuse and
specular cubemaps.
A frequent question is "why two components instead of just one?" The
advantages of this setup are:
1. It's readily extensible to other types of light probes, in particular
*irradiance volumes* (also known as ambient cubes or voxel global
illumination), which use the same approach of bounding cuboids. With a
single component that applies to both reflection probes and irradiance
volumes, we can share the logic that implements falloff and blending
between multiple light probes between both of those features.
2. It reduces duplication between the existing *EnvironmentMapLight* and
these new reflection probes. Systems can treat environment maps attached
to cameras the same way they treat environment maps applied to
reflection probes if they wish.
Internally, we gather up all environment maps in the scene and place
them in a cubemap array. At present, this means that all environment
maps must have the same size, mipmap count, and texture format. A
warning is emitted if this restriction is violated. We could potentially
relax this in the future as part of the automatic mipmap generation
work, which could easily do texture format conversion as part of its
preprocessing.
An easy way to generate reflection probe cubemaps is to bake them in
Blender and use the `export-blender-gi` tool that's part of the
[`bevy-baked-gi`] project. This tool takes a `.blend` file containing
baked cubemaps as input and exports cubemap images, pre-filtered with an
embedded fork of the [glTF IBL Sampler], alongside a corresponding
`.scn.ron` file that the scene spawner can use to recreate the
reflection probes.
Note that this is intentionally a minimal implementation, to aid
reviewability. Known issues are:
* Reflection probes are basically unsupported on WebGL 2, because WebGL
2 has no cubemap arrays. (Strictly speaking, you can have precisely one
reflection probe in the scene if you have no other cubemaps anywhere,
but this isn't very useful.)
* Reflection probes have no falloff, so reflections will abruptly change
when objects move from one bounding region to another.
* As mentioned before, all cubemaps in the world of a given type
(diffuse or specular) must have the same size, format, and mipmap count.
Future work includes:
* Blending between multiple reflection probes.
* A falloff/fade-out region so that reflected objects disappear
gradually instead of vanishing all at once.
* Irradiance volumes for voxel-based global illumination. This should
reuse much of the reflection probe logic, as they're both GI techniques
based on cuboid bounding regions.
* Support for WebGL 2, by breaking batches when reflection probes are
used.
These issues notwithstanding, I think it's best to land this with
roughly the current set of functionality, because this patch is useful
as is and adding everything above would make the pull request
significantly larger and harder to review.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* A new *LightProbe* component is available that specifies a bounding
region that an *EnvironmentMapLight* applies to. The combination of a
*LightProbe* and an *EnvironmentMapLight* offers *reflection probe*
functionality similar to that available in other engines.

# Objective
This PR aims to implement multiple configs for gizmos as discussed in
#9187.
## Solution
Configs for the new `GizmoConfigGroup`s are stored in a
`GizmoConfigStore` resource and can be accesses using a type based key
or iterated over. This type based key doubles as a standardized location
where plugin authors can put their own configuration not covered by the
standard `GizmoConfig` struct. For example the `AabbGizmoGroup` has a
default color and toggle to show all AABBs. New configs can be
registered using `app.init_gizmo_group::<T>()` during startup.
When requesting the `Gizmos<T>` system parameter the generic type
determines which config is used. The config structs are available
through the `Gizmos` system parameter allowing for easy access while
drawing your gizmos.
Internally, resources and systems used for rendering (up to an including
the extract system) are generic over the type based key and inserted on
registering a new config.
## Alternatives
The configs could be stored as components on entities with markers which
would make better use of the ECS. I also implemented this approach
([here](https://github.com/jeliag/bevy/tree/gizmo-multiconf-comp)) and
believe that the ergonomic benefits of a central config store outweigh
the decreased use of the ECS.
## Unsafe Code
Implementing system parameter by hand is unsafe but seems to be required
to access the config store once and not on every gizmo draw function
call. This is critical for performance. ~Is there a better way to do
this?~
## Future Work
New gizmos (such as #10038, and ideas from #9400) will require custom
configuration structs. Should there be a new custom config for every
gizmo type, or should we group them together in a common configuration?
(for example `EditorGizmoConfig`, or something more fine-grained)
## Changelog
- Added `GizmoConfigStore` resource and `GizmoConfigGroup` trait
- Added `init_gizmo_group` to `App`
- Added early returns to gizmo drawing increasing performance when
gizmos are disabled
- Changed `GizmoConfig` and aabb gizmos to use new `GizmoConfigStore`
- Changed `Gizmos` system parameter to use type based key to retrieve
config
- Changed resources and systems used for gizmo rendering to be generic
over type based key
- Changed examples (3d_gizmos, 2d_gizmos) to showcase new API
## Migration Guide
- `GizmoConfig` is no longer a resource and has to be accessed through
`GizmoConfigStore` resource. The default config group is
`DefaultGizmoGroup`, but consider using your own custom config group if
applicable.

Fixes#11376
During the development of the exposure settings PR (#11347) all examples
with lighting had to be adjusted, but three were missed or simply didn't
exist yet at the time. This PR restores the brightness in those examples
again:
render_ui_to_texture
asset_loading
hot_asset_reloading
All of them are a bit brighter now compared to before the exposure PR,
but it looks better IMO.
# Objective
Expand the existing `Query` API to support more dynamic use cases i.e.
scripting.
## Prior Art
- #6390
- #8308
- #10037
## Solution
- Create a `QueryBuilder` with runtime methods to define the set of
component accesses for a built query.
- Create new `WorldQueryData` implementations `FilteredEntityMut` and
`FilteredEntityRef` as variants of `EntityMut` and `EntityRef` that
provide run time checked access to the components included in a given
query.
- Add new methods to `Query` to create "query lens" with a subset of the
access of the initial query.
### Query Builder
The `QueryBuilder` API allows you to define a query at runtime. At it's
most basic use it will simply create a query with the corresponding type
signature:
```rust
let query = QueryBuilder::<Entity, With<A>>::new(&mut world).build();
// is equivalent to
let query = QueryState::<Entity, With<A>>::new(&mut world);
```
Before calling `.build()` you also have the opportunity to add
additional accesses and filters. Here is a simple example where we add
additional filter terms:
```rust
let entity_a = world.spawn((A(0), B(0))).id();
let entity_b = world.spawn((A(0), C(0))).id();
let mut query_a = QueryBuilder::<Entity>::new(&mut world)
.with::<A>()
.without::<C>()
.build();
assert_eq!(entity_a, query_a.single(&world));
```
This alone is useful in that allows you to decide which archetypes your
query will match at runtime. However it is also very limited, consider a
case like the following:
```rust
let query_a = QueryBuilder::<&A>::new(&mut world)
// Add an additional access
.data::<&B>()
.build();
```
This will grant the query an additional read access to component B
however we have no way of accessing the data while iterating as the type
signature still only includes &A. For an even more concrete example of
this consider dynamic components:
```rust
let query_a = QueryBuilder::<Entity>::new(&mut world)
// Adding a filter is easy since it doesn't need be read later
.with_id(component_id_a)
// How do I access the data of this component?
.ref_id(component_id_b)
.build();
```
With this in mind the `QueryBuilder` API seems somewhat incomplete by
itself, we need some way method of accessing the components dynamically.
So here's one:
### Query Transmutation
If the problem is not having the component in the type signature why not
just add it? This PR also adds transmute methods to `QueryBuilder` and
`QueryState`. Here's a simple example:
```rust
world.spawn(A(0));
world.spawn((A(1), B(0)));
let mut query = QueryBuilder::<()>::new(&mut world)
.with::<B>()
.transmute::<&A>()
.build();
query.iter(&world).for_each(|a| assert_eq!(a.0, 1));
```
The `QueryState` and `QueryBuilder` transmute methods look quite similar
but are different in one respect. Transmuting a builder will always
succeed as it will just add the additional accesses needed for the new
terms if they weren't already included. Transmuting a `QueryState` will
panic in the case that the new type signature would give it access it
didn't already have, for example:
```rust
let query = QueryState::<&A, Option<&B>>::new(&mut world);
/// This is fine, the access for Option<&A> is less restrictive than &A
query.transmute::<Option<&A>>(&world);
/// Oh no, this would allow access to &B on entities that might not have it, so it panics
query.transmute::<&B>(&world);
/// This is right out
query.transmute::<&C>(&world);
```
This is quite an appealing API to also have available on `Query` however
it does pose one additional wrinkle: In order to to change the iterator
we need to create a new `QueryState` to back it. `Query` doesn't own
it's own state though, it just borrows it, so we need a place to borrow
it from. This is why `QueryLens` exists, it is a place to store the new
state so it can be borrowed when you call `.query()` leaving you with an
API like this:
```rust
fn function_that_takes_a_query(query: &Query<&A>) {
// ...
}
fn system(query: Query<(&A, &B)>) {
let lens = query.transmute_lens::<&A>();
let q = lens.query();
function_that_takes_a_query(&q);
}
```
Now you may be thinking: Hey, wait a second, you introduced the problem
with dynamic components and then described a solution that only works
for static components! Ok, you got me, I guess we need a bit more:
### Filtered Entity References
Currently the only way you can access dynamic components on entities
through a query is with either `EntityMut` or `EntityRef`, however these
can access all components and so conflict with all other accesses. This
PR introduces `FilteredEntityMut` and `FilteredEntityRef` as
alternatives that have additional runtime checking to prevent accessing
components that you shouldn't. This way you can build a query with a
`QueryBuilder` and actually access the components you asked for:
```rust
let mut query = QueryBuilder::<FilteredEntityRef>::new(&mut world)
.ref_id(component_id_a)
.with(component_id_b)
.build();
let entity_ref = query.single(&world);
// Returns Some(Ptr) as we have that component and are allowed to read it
let a = entity_ref.get_by_id(component_id_a);
// Will return None even though the entity does have the component, as we are not allowed to read it
let b = entity_ref.get_by_id(component_id_b);
```
For the most part these new structs have the exact same methods as their
non-filtered equivalents.
Putting all of this together we can do some truly dynamic ECS queries,
check out the `dynamic` example to see it in action:
```
Commands:
comp, c Create new components
spawn, s Spawn entities
query, q Query for entities
Enter a command with no parameters for usage.
> c A, B, C, Data 4
Component A created with id: 0
Component B created with id: 1
Component C created with id: 2
Component Data created with id: 3
> s A, B, Data 1
Entity spawned with id: 0v0
> s A, C, Data 0
Entity spawned with id: 1v0
> q &Data
0v0: Data: [1, 0, 0, 0]
1v0: Data: [0, 0, 0, 0]
> q B, &mut Data
0v0: Data: [2, 1, 1, 1]
> q B || C, &Data
0v0: Data: [2, 1, 1, 1]
1v0: Data: [0, 0, 0, 0]
```
## Changelog
- Add new `transmute_lens` methods to `Query`.
- Add new types `QueryBuilder`, `FilteredEntityMut`, `FilteredEntityRef`
and `QueryLens`
- `update_archetype_component_access` has been removed, archetype
component accesses are now determined by the accesses set in
`update_component_access`
- Added method `set_access` to `WorldQuery`, this is called before
`update_component_access` for queries that have a restricted set of
accesses, such as those built by `QueryBuilder` or `QueryLens`. This is
primarily used by the `FilteredEntity*` variants and has an empty trait
implementation.
- Added method `get_state` to `WorldQuery` as a fallible version of
`init_state` when you don't have `&mut World` access.
## Future Work
Improve performance of `FilteredEntityMut` and `FilteredEntityRef`,
currently they have to determine the accesses a query has in a given
archetype during iteration which is far from ideal, especially since we
already did the work when matching the archetype in the first place. To
avoid making more internal API changes I have left it out of this PR.

https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8407. Huge thanks to @GitGhillie
for adjusting all the examples, and the many other people who helped
write this PR (@superdump , @coreh , among others) :)
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8369
---
## Changelog
- Added a `brightness` control to `Skybox`.
- Added an `intensity` control to `EnvironmentMapLight`.
- Added `ExposureSettings` and `PhysicalCameraParameters` for
controlling exposure of 3D cameras.
- Removed the baked-in `DirectionalLight` exposure Bevy previously
hardcoded internally.
## Migration Guide
- If using a `Skybox` or `EnvironmentMapLight`, use the new `brightness`
and `intensity` controls to adjust their strength.
- All 3D scene will now have different apparent brightnesses due to Bevy
implementing proper exposure controls. You will have to adjust the
intensity of your lights and/or your camera exposure via the new
`ExposureSettings` component to compensate.

> ~~Associated UI MR: #5070~~
> Adresses #1618
Unify sprite management
## Solution
- Remove the `Handle<Image>` field in `TextureAtlas` which is the main
cause for all the boilerplate
- Remove the redundant `TextureAtlasSprite` component
- Renamed `TextureAtlas` asset to `TextureAtlasLayout`
([suggestion](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5103#discussion_r917281844))
- Add a `TextureAtlas` component, containing the atlas layout handle and
the section index
The difference between this solution and #5072 is that instead of the
`enum` approach is that we can more easily manipulate texture sheets
without any breaking changes for classic `SpriteBundle`s (@mockersf
[comment](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5072#issuecomment-1165836139))
Also, this approach is more *data oriented* extracting the
`Handle<Image>` and avoiding complex texture atlas manipulations to
retrieve the texture in both applicative and engine code.
With this method, the only difference between a `SpriteBundle` and a
`SpriteSheetBundle` is an **additional** component storing the atlas
handle and the index.
~~This solution can be applied to `bevy_ui` as well (see #5070).~~
EDIT: I also applied this solution to Bevy UI
## Changelog
- (**BREAKING**) Removed `TextureAtlasSprite`
- (**BREAKING**) Renamed `TextureAtlas` to `TextureAtlasLayout`
- (**BREAKING**) `SpriteSheetBundle`:
- Uses a `Sprite` instead of a `TextureAtlasSprite` component
- Has a `texture` field containing a `Handle<Image>` like the
`SpriteBundle`
- Has a new `TextureAtlas` component instead of a
`Handle<TextureAtlasLayout>`
- (**BREAKING**) `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder::add_texture` takes an
additional `&Handle<Image>` parameter
- (**BREAKING**) `TextureAtlasLayout::from_grid` no longer takes a
`Handle<Image>` parameter
- (**BREAKING**) `TextureAtlasBuilder::finish` now returns a
`Result<(TextureAtlasLayout, Handle<Image>), _>`
- `bevy_text`:
- `GlyphAtlasInfo` stores the texture `Handle<Image>`
- `FontAtlas` stores the texture `Handle<Image>`
- `bevy_ui`:
- (**BREAKING**) Removed `UiAtlasImage` , the atlas bundle is now
identical to the `ImageBundle` with an additional `TextureAtlas`

# Objective
Add support for presenting each UI tree on a specific window and
viewport, while making as few breaking changes as possible.
This PR is meant to resolve the following issues at once, since they're
all related.
- Fixes#5622
- Fixes#5570
- Fixes#5621
Adopted #5892 , but started over since the current codebase diverged
significantly from the original PR branch. Also, I made a decision to
propagate component to children instead of recursively iterating over
nodes in search for the root.
## Solution
Add a new optional component that can be inserted to UI root nodes and
propagate to children to specify which camera it should render onto.
This is then used to get the render target and the viewport for that UI
tree. Since this component is optional, the default behavior should be
to render onto the single camera (if only one exist) and warn of
ambiguity if multiple cameras exist. This reduces the complexity for
users with just one camera, while giving control in contexts where it
matters.
## Changelog
- Adds `TargetCamera(Entity)` component to specify which camera should a
node tree be rendered into. If only one camera exists, this component is
optional.
- Adds an example of rendering UI to a texture and using it as a
material in a 3D world.
- Fixes recalculation of physical viewport size when target scale factor
changes. This can happen when the window is moved between displays with
different DPI.
- Changes examples to demonstrate assigning UI to different viewports
and windows and make interactions in an offset viewport testable.
- Removes `UiCameraConfig`. UI visibility now can be controlled via
combination of explicit `TargetCamera` and `Visibility` on the root
nodes.

# Objective
Implement sprite tiling and [9 slice
scaling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-slice_scaling) for
`bevy_sprite`.
Allowing slice scaling and texture tiling.
Basic scaling vs 9 slice scaling:
Slicing example:

src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/26703856/14db39b7-d9e0-4bc3-ba0e-b1f2db39ae8f">
# Solution
- `SpriteBundlue` now has a `scale_mode` component storing a
`SpriteScaleMode` enum with three variants:
- `Stretched` (default)
- `Tiled` to have sprites tile horizontally and/or vertically
- `Sliced` allowing 9 slicing the texture and optionally tile some
sections with a `Textureslicer`.
- `bevy_sprite` has two extra systems to compute a
`ComputedTextureSlices` if necessary,:
- One system react to changes on `Sprite`, `Handle<Image>` or
`SpriteScaleMode`
- The other listens to `AssetEvent<Image>` to compute slices on sprites
when the texture is ready or changed
- I updated the `bevy_sprite` extraction stage to extract potentially
multiple textures instead of one, depending on the presence of
`ComputedTextureSlices`
- I added two examples showcasing the slicing and tiling feature.
The addition of `ComputedTextureSlices` as a cache is to avoid querying
the image data, to retrieve its dimensions, every frame in a extract or
prepare stage. Also it reacts to changes so we can have stuff like this
(tiling example):
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/26703856/a349a9f3-33c3-471f-8ef4-a0e5dfce3b01
# Related
- [ ] Once #5103 or #10099 is merged I can enable tiling and slicing for
texture sheets as ui
# To discuss
There is an other option, to consider slice/tiling as part of the asset,
using the new asset preprocessing but I have no clue on how to do it.
Also, instead of retrieving the Image dimensions, we could use the same
system as the sprite sheet and have the user give the image dimensions
directly (grid). But I think it's less user friendly

# Objective
This PR is heavily inspired by
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7682
It aims to solve the same problem: allowing the user to extend the
tracing subscriber with extra layers.
(in my case, I'd like to use `use
metrics_tracing_context::{MetricsLayer, TracingContextLayer};`)
## Solution
I'm proposing a different api where the user has the opportunity to take
the existing `subscriber` and apply any transformations on it.

# Objective
Unify flycam-style camera controller from the examples.
`parallax_mapping` controller was kept as is.
## Solution
Fixed some mouse movement & cursor grabbing related issues too.
# Objective
Issue #10243: rendering multiple triangles in the same place results in
flickering.
## Solution
Considered these alternatives:
- `depth_bias` may not work, because of high number of entities, so
creating a material per entity is practically not possible
- rendering at slightly different positions does not work, because when
camera is far, float rounding causes the same issues (edit: assuming we
have to use the same `depth_bias`)
- considered implementing deterministic operation like
`query.par_iter().flat_map(...).collect()` to be used in
`check_visibility` system (which would solve the issue since query is
deterministic), and could not figure out how to make it as cheap as
current approach with thread-local collectors (#11249)
So adding an option to sort entities after `check_visibility` system
run.
Should not be too bad, because after visibility check, only a handful
entities remain.
This is probably not the only source of non-determinism in Bevy, but
this is one I could find so far. At least it fixes the repro example.
## Changelog
- `DeterministicRenderingConfig` option to enable deterministic
rendering

Re this comment:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11141#issuecomment-1872455313
Since https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9822, Bevy automatically
inserts `apply_deferred` between systems with dependencies where needed,
so manually inserted `apply_deferred` doesn't to anything useful, and in
current state this example does more harm than good.
## Solution
The example can be modified with removal of automatic `apply_deferred`
insertion, but that would immediately upgrade this example from beginner
level, to upper intermediate. Most users don't need to disable automatic
sync point insertion, and remaining few who do probably already know how
it works.

# Objective
- Make it possible to react to arbitrary state changes

# Motivation
When spawning entities into a scene, it is very common to create assets
like meshes and materials and to add them via asset handles. A common
setup might look like this:
```rust
fn setup(
mut commands: Commands,
mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
) {
commands.spawn(PbrBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
material: materials.add(StandardMaterial::from(Color::RED)),
..default()
});
}
```
Let's take a closer look at the part that adds the assets using `add`.
```rust
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
material: materials.add(StandardMaterial::from(Color::RED)),
```
Here, "mesh" and "material" are both repeated three times. It's very
explicit, but I find it to be a bit verbose. In addition to being more
code to read and write, the extra characters can sometimes also lead to
the code being formatted to span multiple lines even though the core
task, adding e.g. a primitive mesh, is extremely simple.
A way to address this is by using `.into()`:
```rust
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }.into()),
material: materials.add(Color::RED.into()),
```
This is fine, but from the names and the type of `meshes`, we already
know what the type should be. It's very clear that `Cube` should be
turned into a `Mesh` because of the context it's used in. `.into()` is
just seven characters, but it's so common that it quickly adds up and
gets annoying.
It would be nice if you could skip all of the conversion and let Bevy
handle it for you:
```rust
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
material: materials.add(Color::RED),
```
# Objective
Make adding assets more ergonomic by making `Assets::add` take an `impl
Into<A>` instead of `A`.
## Solution
`Assets::add` now takes an `impl Into<A>` instead of `A`, so e.g. this
works:
```rust
commands.spawn(PbrBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
material: materials.add(Color::RED),
..default()
});
```
I also changed all examples to use this API, which increases consistency
as well because `Mesh::from` and `into` were being used arbitrarily even
in the same file. This also gets rid of some lines of code because
formatting is nicer.
---
## Changelog
- `Assets::add` now takes an `impl Into<A>` instead of `A`
- Examples don't use `T::from(K)` or `K.into()` when adding assets
## Migration Guide
Some `into` calls that worked previously might now be broken because of
the new trait bounds. You need to either remove `into` or perform the
conversion explicitly with `from`:
```rust
// Doesn't compile
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }.into()),
// These compile
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
```
## Concerns
I believe the primary concerns might be:
1. Is this too implicit?
2. Does this increase codegen bloat?
Previously, the two APIs were using `into` or `from`, and now it's
"nothing" or `from`. You could argue that `into` is slightly more
explicit than "nothing" in cases like the earlier examples where a
`Color` gets converted to e.g. a `StandardMaterial`, but I personally
don't think `into` adds much value even in this case, and you could
still see the actual type from the asset type.
As for codegen bloat, I doubt it adds that much, but I'm not very
familiar with the details of codegen. I personally value the user-facing
code reduction and ergonomics improvements that these changes would
provide, but it might be worth checking the other effects in more
detail.
Another slight concern is migration pain; apps might have a ton of
`into` calls that would need to be removed, and it did take me a while
to do so for Bevy itself (maybe around 20-40 minutes). However, I think
the fact that there *are* so many `into` calls just highlights that the
API could be made nicer, and I'd gladly migrate my own projects for it.
# Objective
This pull request implements *reflection probes*, which generalize
environment maps to allow for multiple environment maps in the same
scene, each of which has an axis-aligned bounding box. This is a
standard feature of physically-based renderers and was inspired by [the
corresponding feature in Blender's Eevee renderer].
## Solution
This is a minimal implementation of reflection probes that allows
artists to define cuboid bounding regions associated with environment
maps. For every view, on every frame, a system builds up a list of the
nearest 4 reflection probes that are within the view's frustum and
supplies that list to the shader. The PBR fragment shader searches
through the list, finds the first containing reflection probe, and uses
it for indirect lighting, falling back to the view's environment map if
none is found. Both forward and deferred renderers are fully supported.
A reflection probe is an entity with a pair of components, *LightProbe*
and *EnvironmentMapLight* (as well as the standard *SpatialBundle*, to
position it in the world). The *LightProbe* component (along with the
*Transform*) defines the bounding region, while the
*EnvironmentMapLight* component specifies the associated diffuse and
specular cubemaps.
A frequent question is "why two components instead of just one?" The
advantages of this setup are:
1. It's readily extensible to other types of light probes, in particular
*irradiance volumes* (also known as ambient cubes or voxel global
illumination), which use the same approach of bounding cuboids. With a
single component that applies to both reflection probes and irradiance
volumes, we can share the logic that implements falloff and blending
between multiple light probes between both of those features.
2. It reduces duplication between the existing *EnvironmentMapLight* and
these new reflection probes. Systems can treat environment maps attached
to cameras the same way they treat environment maps applied to
reflection probes if they wish.
Internally, we gather up all environment maps in the scene and place
them in a cubemap array. At present, this means that all environment
maps must have the same size, mipmap count, and texture format. A
warning is emitted if this restriction is violated. We could potentially
relax this in the future as part of the automatic mipmap generation
work, which could easily do texture format conversion as part of its
preprocessing.
An easy way to generate reflection probe cubemaps is to bake them in
Blender and use the `export-blender-gi` tool that's part of the
[`bevy-baked-gi`] project. This tool takes a `.blend` file containing
baked cubemaps as input and exports cubemap images, pre-filtered with an
embedded fork of the [glTF IBL Sampler], alongside a corresponding
`.scn.ron` file that the scene spawner can use to recreate the
reflection probes.
Note that this is intentionally a minimal implementation, to aid
reviewability. Known issues are:
* Reflection probes are basically unsupported on WebGL 2, because WebGL
2 has no cubemap arrays. (Strictly speaking, you can have precisely one
reflection probe in the scene if you have no other cubemaps anywhere,
but this isn't very useful.)
* Reflection probes have no falloff, so reflections will abruptly change
when objects move from one bounding region to another.
* As mentioned before, all cubemaps in the world of a given type
(diffuse or specular) must have the same size, format, and mipmap count.
Future work includes:
* Blending between multiple reflection probes.
* A falloff/fade-out region so that reflected objects disappear
gradually instead of vanishing all at once.
* Irradiance volumes for voxel-based global illumination. This should
reuse much of the reflection probe logic, as they're both GI techniques
based on cuboid bounding regions.
* Support for WebGL 2, by breaking batches when reflection probes are
used.
These issues notwithstanding, I think it's best to land this with
roughly the current set of functionality, because this patch is useful
as is and adding everything above would make the pull request
significantly larger and harder to review.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* A new *LightProbe* component is available that specifies a bounding
region that an *EnvironmentMapLight* applies to. The combination of a
*LightProbe* and an *EnvironmentMapLight* offers *reflection probe*
functionality similar to that available in other engines.

after extracting to the render world.
- Mesh/Image now have a cpu_persistent_access field. If this field is
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload, the asset will be unloaded from
Assets<T>.
- A new AssetEvent is sent upon dropping the last strong handle for the
asset, which signals to the RenderAsset to remove the GPU version of the
asset.
---
## Changelog
- Added `AssetEvent::NoLongerUsed` and
`AssetEvent::is_no_longer_used()`. This event is sent when the last
strong handle of an asset is dropped.
- Rewrote the API for `RenderAsset` to allow for unloading the asset
data from the CPU.
- Added `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy`.
- Added `Mesh::cpu_persistent_access` for memory savings when the asset
is not needed except for on the GPU.
- Added `Image::cpu_persistent_access` for memory savings when the asset
is not needed except for on the GPU.
- Added `ImageLoaderSettings::cpu_persistent_access`.
- Added `ExrTextureLoaderSettings`.
- Added `HdrTextureLoaderSettings`.
## Migration Guide
- Asset loaders (GLTF, etc) now load meshes and textures without
`cpu_persistent_access`. These assets will be removed from
`Assets<Mesh>` and `Assets<Image>` once `RenderAssets<Mesh>` and
`RenderAssets<Image>` contain the GPU versions of these assets, in order
to reduce memory usage. If you require access to the asset data from the
CPU in future frames after the GLTF asset has been loaded, modify all
dependent `Mesh` and `Image` assets and set `cpu_persistent_access` to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep`.
- `Mesh` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access` field. Set it to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the previous behavior.
- `Image` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access` field. Set it to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the previous behavior.
- `MorphTargetImage::new()` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access`
parameter. Set it to `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the
previous behavior.
- `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder::add_texture()` now requires that the
`TextureAtlas` you pass has an `Image` with `cpu_persistent_access:
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep`. Ensure you construct the image
properly for the texture atlas.
- The `RenderAsset` trait has significantly changed, and requires
adapting your existing implementations.
- The trait now requires `Clone`.
- The `ExtractedAsset` associated type has been removed (the type itself
is now extracted).
- The signature of `prepare_asset()` is slightly different
- A new `persistence_policy()` method is now required (return
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload to match the previous behavior).
- Match on the new `NoLongerUsed` variant for exhaustive matches of
`AssetEvent`.
# Objective
Lightmaps, textures that store baked global illumination, have been a
mainstay of real-time graphics for decades. Bevy currently has no
support for them, so this pull request implements them.
## Solution
The new `Lightmap` component can be attached to any entity that contains
a `Handle<Mesh>` and a `StandardMaterial`. When present, it will be
applied in the PBR shader. Because multiple lightmaps are frequently
packed into atlases, each lightmap may have its own UV boundaries within
its texture. An `exposure` field is also provided, to control the
brightness of the lightmap.
Note that this PR doesn't provide any way to bake the lightmaps. That
can be done with [The Lightmapper] or another solution, such as Unity's
Bakery.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* A new component, `Lightmap`, is available, for baked global
illumination. If your mesh has a second UV channel (UV1), and you attach
this component to the entity with that mesh, Bevy will apply the texture
referenced in the lightmap.

# Objective
There are a lot of doctests that are `ignore`d for no documented reason.
And that should be fixed.
## Solution
I searched the bevy repo with the regex ` ```[a-z,]*ignore ` in order to
find all `ignore`d doctests. For each one of the `ignore`d doctests, I
did the following steps:
1. Attempt to remove the `ignored` attribute while still passing the
test. I did this by adding hidden dummy structs and imports.
2. If step 1 doesn't work, attempt to replace the `ignored` attribute
with the `no_run` attribute while still passing the test.
3. If step 2 doesn't work, keep the `ignored` attribute but add
documentation for why the `ignored` attribute was added.

# Objective
- Custom render passes, or future passes in the engine (such as
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164) need a better way to know
and indicate to the core passes whether the view color/depth/prepass
attachments have been cleared or not yet this frame, to know if they
should clear it themselves or load it.
## Solution
- For all render targets (depth textures, shadow textures, prepass
textures, main textures) use an atomic bool to track whether or not each
texture has been cleared this frame. Abstracted away in the new
ColorAttachment and DepthAttachment wrappers.
---
## Changelog
- Changed `ViewTarget::get_color_attachment()`, removed arguments.
- Changed `ViewTarget::get_unsampled_color_attachment()`, removed
arguments.
- Removed `Camera3d::clear_color`.
- Removed `Camera2d::clear_color`.
- Added `Camera::clear_color`.
- Added `ExtractedCamera::clear_color`.
- Added `ColorAttachment` and `DepthAttachment` wrappers.
- Moved `ClearColor` and `ClearColorConfig` from
`bevy::core_pipeline::clear_color` to `bevy::render::camera`.
- Core render passes now track when a texture is first bound as an
attachment in order to decide whether to clear or load it.
## Migration Guide
- Remove arguments to `ViewTarget::get_color_attachment()` and
`ViewTarget::get_unsampled_color_attachment()`.
- Configure clear color on `Camera` instead of on `Camera3d` and
`Camera2d`.
- Moved `ClearColor` and `ClearColorConfig` from
`bevy::core_pipeline::clear_color` to `bevy::render::camera`.
- `ViewDepthTexture` must now be created via the `new()` method

# Objective
Provide an example of how to achieve pixel-perfect "grid snapping" in 2D
via rendering to a texture. This is a common use case in retro pixel art
game development.
## Solution
Render sprites to a canvas via a Camera, then use another (scaled up)
Camera to render the resulting canvas to the screen. This example is
based on the `3d/render_to_texture.rs` example. Furthermore, this
example demonstrates mixing retro-style graphics with high-resolution
graphics, as well as pixel-snapped rendering of a
`MaterialMesh2dBundle`.
# Objective
- Make the implementation order consistent between all sources to fit
the order in the trait.
## Solution
- Change the implementation order.
