# Objective Some generic types like `Option<T>`, `Vec<T>` and `HashMap<K, V>` implement `Reflect` when where their generic types `T`/`K`/`V` implement `Serialize + for<'de> Deserialize<'de>`. This is so that in their `GetTypeRegistration` impl they can insert the `ReflectSerialize` and `ReflectDeserialize` type data structs. This has the annoying side effect that if your struct contains a `Option<NonSerdeStruct>` you won't be able to derive reflect (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4054). ## Solution - remove the `Serialize + Deserialize` bounds on wrapper types - this means that `ReflectSerialize` and `ReflectDeserialize` will no longer be inserted even for `.register::<Option<DoesImplSerde>>()` - add `register_type_data<T, D>` shorthand for `registry.get_mut(T).insert(D::from_type<T>())` - require users to register their specific generic types **and the serde types** separately like ```rust .register_type::<Option<String>>() .register_type_data::<Option<String>, ReflectSerialize>() .register_type_data::<Option<String>, ReflectDeserialize>() ``` I believe this is the best we can do for extensibility and convenience without specialization. ## Changelog - `.register_type` for generic types like `Option<T>`, `Vec<T>`, `HashMap<K, V>` will no longer insert `ReflectSerialize` and `ReflectDeserialize` type data. Instead you need to register it separately for concrete generic types like so: ```rust .register_type::<Option<String>>() .register_type_data::<Option<String>, ReflectSerialize>() .register_type_data::<Option<String>, ReflectDeserialize>() ``` TODO: more docs and tweaks to the scene example to demonstrate registering generic types. |
