Implement methods to list all components and all resources (Rebase of PR #3012) #4955

KevinKeyser · 2022-06-07T04:14:15Z

Objective

Take over and Rebase Pull Request Implement methods to list all components and all resources #3012
- Fixes Simple methods to list all components and all resources #3007
- Simplify debugging by allowing iteration over all Components and Resources registered in a World.

Solution

Rename Components into WorldData to reflect that it stores metadata both on Components and Resources. Also rename ComponentId to DataId, ComponentInfo to DataInfo and ComponentDescriptor to DataDescriptor
implement IntoIterator for WorldData to iterate over all components and resources
create a new Components system descriptor and implement IntoIterator to iterate over all components
create a new Resources system descriptor and implement IntoIterator to iterate over all resources

Changelog

struct ComponentId -> struct DataId
struct Components -> struct WorldData
- Components::components -> WorldData::data
struct ComponentInfo -> struct DataInfo
struct ComponentDescriptor -> struct DataDescriptor

This allows iteration over all `Component`s registered in a world by implementing `IntoIterator` for the `Components` type.

the Components struct was not just storing metadata on components, but also on resources. WorldData is a new umbrella term for components and resources. also rename the following: `ComponentId` -> `DataId` `ComponentInfo` -> `DataInfo` `ComponentDescriptor` -> `DataDescriptor`

These can be used in systems to get an overview over all available Components and Resources.

My instinct is that we should merge #4809 first, which should simplify the implementation here significantly. @james7132, are you in agreement?

jakobhellermann · 2022-06-07T07:04:47Z

For what it's worth you can iterate over all component infos already:

bevy/crates/bevy_ecs/src/component.rs

Line 401 in 7317473

pub fn iter(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = &ComponentInfo> + '_ {

(it will include both components and resources).

To find all resource component IDs you can just the components in the resource archetype, something like world.archetypes().resource().components().

@KevinKeyser Is this a dead PR at this point?

alice-i-cecile

I like the ComponentId -> DataId change: I think it's genuinely correct and clearer. Resources having a ComponentId is always baffling. However it makes this PR much harder to review, and should be its own PR.

alice-i-cecile · 2023-01-08T21:26:51Z

crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/mod.rs

+    fn iterate_resources() {
+        let mut world = World::default();
+        world.insert_resource(Vec::<String>::new());
+        world.insert_resource(42usize);


These will have to be redone to account for the opt-in Resource trait.

+    #[test]
+    fn remove_tracking() {


Suggested change

fn remove_tracking() {

fn removal_tracking() {

Just to reduce diff noise.

This is quite nice: I really like how much clearer DataId and WorldData are. If you rebase this and get CI passing I'd be happy to see this merged basically as is.

alice-i-cecile · 2023-09-11T15:58:27Z

@KevinKeyser I still really like this work, but at this point it's going to be easier to remake this PR than to solve merge conflicts. I'm going to Adopt-Me to this PR, but feel free to adopt it yourself if you'd like!

Adamkob12 · 2024-02-06T20:39:17Z

I'd like to pick this up soon.

AustinHellerRepo · 2024-03-30T22:38:06Z

crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/system_param.rs


 /// The [`SystemParamState`] of [`Components`].
 #[doc(hidden)]
 pub struct ComponentsState;

 // SAFE: no component value access
-unsafe impl SystemParamState for ComponentsState {
+unsafe impl<'a> SystemParamState for ComponentsState {


Probably trivial, but is this explicit lifetime required?

AustinHellerRepo · 2024-03-30T22:43:21Z

crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/mod.rs

-            };
+        let component_id = if let Some(component_id) = self.data.get_resource_id(TypeId::of::<R>())
+        {
+            component_id


Should this be resource_id or data_id (as well as in other related functions)?

AustinHellerRepo · 2024-03-30T22:54:10Z

I'm hoping that this PR will help permit me to more easily serialize specific components (when I only have the name) of an entity as well as overwrite the state of a component by deserializing a previous state's String into the component.
If this is now possible with these changes, would it be possible to get a unit test or example included in this PR?
If that is out of scope for these changes, any help with this task would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: I can get a Ptr to the component, but it might be a type that contain pointers to the heap (with data that I also want to serialize). I'm hoping that there's a way to apply the TypeId and Ptr with serde (or by some other means) in such a way that I can get back all of the data pertaining to the component. I also need to be able to do the reverse to overwrite the component state.

@matiqo15, this seems really useful for bevyengine/rfcs#77. Perhaps we should re-adopt it and get the basic form merged?

Agree, this could help a lot

@alice-i-cecile Now that #12829 has been merged, is this PR still necessary?

alice-i-cecile · 2024-09-20T14:57:41Z

It would still be nice to have something like this for components, but I'm going to close this out regardless.
