bevy/examples/app/log_layers_ecs.rs

//! This example illustrates how to transfer log events from the [`Layer`] to Bevy's ECS.
//!
//! The way we will do this is via a [`mpsc`] channel. [`mpsc`] channels allow 2 unrelated
//! parts of the program to communicate (in this case, [`Layer`]s and Bevy's ECS).
//!
//! Inside the `custom_layer` function we will create a [`mpsc::Sender`] and a [`mpsc::Receiver`] from a
//! [`mpsc::channel`]. The [`Sender`](mpsc::Sender) will go into the `AdvancedLayer` and the [`Receiver`](mpsc::Receiver) will
//! go into a non-send resource called `LogEvents` (It has to be non-send because [`Receiver`](mpsc::Receiver) is [`!Sync`](Sync)).
//! From there we will use `transfer_log_events` to transfer log events from `LogEvents` to an ECS event called `LogEvent`.
//!
//! Finally, after all that we can access the `LogEvent` event from our systems and use it.
//! In this example we build a simple log viewer.
