# Objective - Fixes #10532 ## Solution I've updated the various `Event` send methods to return the sent `EventId`(s). Since these methods previously returned nothing, and this information is cheap to copy, there should be minimal negative consequences to providing this additional information. In the case of `send_batch`, an iterator is returned built from `Range` and `Map`, which only consumes 16 bytes on the stack with no heap allocations for all batch sizes. As such, the cost of this information is negligible. These changes are reflected for `EventWriter` and `World`. For `World`, the return types are optional to account for the possible lack of an `Events` resource. Again, these methods previously returned no information, so its inclusion should only be a benefit. ## Usage Now when sending events, the IDs of those events is available for immediate use: ```rust // Example of a request-response system where the requester can track handled requests. /// A system which can make and track requests fn requester( mut requests: EventWriter<Request>, mut handled: EventReader<Handled>, mut pending: Local<HashSet<EventId<Request>>>, ) { // Check status of previous requests for Handled(id) in handled.read() { pending.remove(&id); } if !pending.is_empty() { error!("Not all my requests were handled on the previous frame!"); pending.clear(); } // Send a new request and remember its ID for later let request_id = requests.send(Request::MyRequest { /* ... */ }); pending.insert(request_id); } /// A system which handles requests fn responder( mut requests: EventReader<Request>, mut handled: EventWriter<Handled>, ) { for (request, id) in requests.read_with_id() { if handle(request).is_ok() { handled.send(Handled(id)); } } } ``` In the above example, a `requester` system can send request events, and keep track of which ones are currently pending by `EventId`. Then, a `responder` system can act on that event, providing the ID as a reference that the `requester` can use. Before this PR, it was not trivial for a system sending events to keep track of events by ID. This is unfortunate, since for a system reading events, it is trivial to access the ID of a event. --- ## Changelog - Updated `Events`: - Added `send_batch` - Modified `send` to return the sent `EventId` - Modified `send_default` to return the sent `EventId` - Updated `EventWriter` - Modified `send_batch` to return all sent `EventId`s - Modified `send` to return the sent `EventId` - Modified `send_default` to return the sent `EventId` - Updated `World` - Modified `send_event` to return the sent `EventId` if sent, otherwise `None`. - Modified `send_event_default` to return the sent `EventId` if sent, otherwise `None`. - Modified `send_event_batch` to return all sent `EventId`s if sent, otherwise `None`. - Added unit test `test_send_events_ids` to ensure returned `EventId`s match the sent `Event`s - Updated uses of modified methods. ## Migration Guide ### `send` / `send_default` / `send_batch` For the following methods: - `Events::send` - `Events::send_default` - `Events::send_batch` - `EventWriter::send` - `EventWriter::send_default` - `EventWriter::send_batch` - `World::send_event` - `World::send_event_default` - `World::send_event_batch` Ensure calls to these methods either handle the returned value, or suppress the result with `;`. ```rust // Now fails to compile due to mismatched return type fn send_my_event(mut events: EventWriter<MyEvent>) { events.send_default() } // Fix fn send_my_event(mut events: EventWriter<MyEvent>) { events.send_default(); } ``` This will most likely be noticed within `match` statements: ```rust // Before match is_pressed { true => events.send(PlayerAction::Fire), // ^--^ No longer returns () false => {} } // After match is_pressed { true => { events.send(PlayerAction::Fire); }, false => {} } ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nicola Papale <nicopap@users.noreply.github.com> |
