# Objective
- While developing a debug tool I saw the gap where it was not possible
to get all existing states from a World using reflection.
- This PR allows to iterate over all `States` types that exist in a
world, and modify them in case they implement `FreelyMutableState`.
- Two new methods are available on `App` and `SubApp` as helper to
register the data types:
- `register_state_reflect` and `register_mutable_state_reflect`
## Solution
- Two new data types are added:
- `ReflectState`: Allows to extract the current value of a state from
the World.
- `ReflectFreelyMutableState`: Allows to set the next state in a world,
similar to call `NextState::set`.
- There is no distinction between `States`, `SubStates` and
`ComputedStates`:
- `States` can register both `ReflectState` and
`ReflectFreelyMutableState`.
- `SubStates` can register both `ReflectState` and
`ReflectFreelyMutableState`.
- `ComputedStates` can register only `ReflectState` .
## Testing
- Added tests inside the `bevy_state` crate.
