# Objective Thanks to #7207, we now have a way to validate at the type-level that a reflected value is actually the type it says it is and not just a dynamic representation of that type. `dyn PartialReflect` values _might_ be a dynamic type, but `dyn Reflect` values are guaranteed to _not_ be a dynamic type. Therefore, we can start to add methods to `Reflect` that weren't really possible before. For example, we should now be able to always get a `&'static TypeInfo`, and not just an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`. ## Solution Add the `DynamicTyped` trait. This trait is similar to `DynamicTypePath` in that it provides a way to use the non-object-safe `Typed` trait in an object-safe way. And since all types that derive `Reflect` will also derive `Typed`, we can safely add `DynamicTyped` as a supertrait of `Reflect`. This allows us to use it when just given a `dyn Reflect` trait object. ## Testing You can test locally by running: ``` cargo test --package bevy_reflect ``` --- ## Showcase `Reflect` now has a supertrait of `DynamicTyped`, allowing `TypeInfo` to be retrieved from a `dyn Reflect` trait object without having to unwrap anything! ```rust let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(String::from("Hello!")); // BEFORE let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.get_represented_type_info().unwrap(); // AFTER let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.reflect_type_info(); ``` ## Migration Guide `Reflect` now has a supertrait of `DynamicTyped`. If you were manually implementing `Reflect` and did not implement `Typed`, you will now need to do so. |
