# Objective Currently, reflecting a generic type provides no information about the generic parameters. This means that you can't get access to the type of `T` in `Foo<T>` without creating custom type data (we do this for [`ReflectHandle`](https://docs.rs/bevy/0.14.2/bevy/asset/struct.ReflectHandle.html#method.asset_type_id)). ## Solution This PR makes it so that generic type parameters and generic const parameters are tracked in a `Generics` struct stored on the `TypeInfo` for a type. For example, `struct Foo<T, const N: usize>` will store `T` and `N` as a `TypeParamInfo` and `ConstParamInfo`, respectively. The stored information includes: - The name of the generic parameter (i.e. `T`, `N`, etc.) - The type of the generic parameter (remember that we're dealing with monomorphized types, so this will actually be a concrete type) - The default type/value, if any (e.g. `f32` in `T = f32` or `10` in `const N: usize = 10`) ### Caveats The only requirement for this to work is that the user does not opt-out of the automatic `TypePath` derive with `#[reflect(type_path = false)]`. Doing so prevents the macro code from 100% knowing that the generic type implements `TypePath`. This in turn means the generated `Typed` impl can't add generics to the type. There are two solutions for this—both of which I think we should explore in a future PR: 1. We could just not use `TypePath`. This would mean that we can't store the `Type` of the generic, but we can at least store the `TypeId`. 2. We could provide a way to opt out of the automatic `Typed` derive with a `#[reflect(typed = false)]` attribute. This would allow users to manually implement `Typed` to add whatever generic information they need (e.g. skipping a parameter that can't implement `TypePath` while the rest can). I originally thought about making `Generics` an enum with `Generic`, `NonGeneric`, and `Unavailable` variants to signify whether there are generics, no generics, or generics that cannot be added due to opting out of `TypePath`. I ultimately decided against this as I think it adds a bit too much complexity for such an uncommon problem. Additionally, user's don't necessarily _have_ to know the generics of a type, so just skipping them should generally be fine for now. ## Testing You can test locally by running: ``` cargo test --package bevy_reflect ``` --- ## Showcase You can now access generic parameters via `TypeInfo`! ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyStruct<T, const N: usize>([T; N]); let generics = MyStruct::<f32, 10>::type_info().generics(); // Get by index: let t = generics.get(0).unwrap(); assert_eq!(t.name(), "T"); assert!(t.ty().is::<f32>()); assert!(!t.is_const()); // Or by name: let n = generics.get_named("N").unwrap(); assert_eq!(n.name(), "N"); assert!(n.ty().is::<usize>()); assert!(n.is_const()); ``` You can even access parameter defaults: ```rust #[derive(Reflect)] struct MyStruct<T = String, const N: usize = 10>([T; N]); let generics = MyStruct::<f32, 5>::type_info().generics(); let GenericInfo::Type(info) = generics.get_named("T").unwrap() else { panic!("expected a type parameter"); }; let default = info.default().unwrap(); assert!(default.is::<String>()); let GenericInfo::Const(info) = generics.get_named("N").unwrap() else { panic!("expected a const parameter"); }; let default = info.default().unwrap(); assert_eq!(default.downcast_ref::<usize>().unwrap(), &10); ``` |
