# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
# Objective
Limited implementation of the CSS property `overflow-clip-margin`
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-clip-margin
Allows you to control the visible area for clipped content when using
overfllow-clip, -hidden, or -scroll and expand it with a margin.
Based on #15442Fixes#15468
## Solution
Adds a new field to Style: `overflow_clip_margin: OverflowClipMargin`.
The field is ignored unless overflow-clip, -hidden or -scroll is set on
at least one axis.
`OverflowClipMargin` has these associated constructor functions:
```
pub const fn content_box() -> Self;
pub const fn padding_box() -> Self;
pub const fn border_box() -> Self;
```
You can also use the method `with_margin` to increases the size of the
visible area:
```
commands
.spawn(NodeBundle {
style: Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
padding: UiRect::all(Val::Px(20.)),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(5.)),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
overflow_clip_margin: OverflowClipMargin::border_box().with_margin(25.),
..Default::default()
},
border_color: Color::BLACK.into(),
background_color: GRAY.into(),
..Default::default()
})
```
`with_margin` expects a length in logical pixels, negative values are
clamped to zero.
## Notes
* To keep this PR as simple as possible I omitted responsive margin
values support. This could be added in a follow up if we want it.
* CSS also supports a `margin-box` option but we don't have access to
the margin values in `Node` so it's probably not feasible to implement
atm.
## Testing
```cargo run --example overflow_clip_margin```
<img width="396" alt="overflow-clip-margin" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/07b51cd6-a565-4451-87a0-fa079429b04b">
## Migration Guide
Style has a new field `OverflowClipMargin`. It allows users to set the visible area for clipped content when using overflow-clip, -hidden, or -scroll and expand it with a margin.
There are three associated constructor functions `content_box`, `padding_box` and `border_box`:
* `content_box`: elements painted outside of the content box area (the innermost part of the node excluding the padding and border) of the node are clipped. This is the new default behaviour.
* `padding_box`: elements painted outside outside of the padding area of the node are clipped.
* `border_box`: elements painted outside of the bounds of the node are clipped. This matches the behaviour from Bevy 0.14.
There is also a `with_margin` method that increases the size of the visible area by the given number in logical pixels, negative margin values are clamped to zero.
`OverflowClipMargin` is ignored unless overflow-clip, -hidden or -scroll is also set on at least one axis of the UI node.
