[Merged by Bors] - Add helpers to send `Events` from `World` #5355

aevyrie · 2022-07-17T16:04:44Z

Objective

With access to World, it's not obvious how to send an event.
This is especially useful if you are writing a Command that needs to send an Event.
Events are a first-class construct in bevy, even though they are just Resources under the hood. Their methods should be discoverable.

Solution

Provide a simple helpers to send events through Res<Events<T>>.

Changelog

send_event, send_default_event, and send_event_batch methods added to World.

send_event and send_default_event for legibility please :)

Previously attempted in #3839.

I have mixed feelings about using the noun-verb grammar, but I wouldn't block that.

I would have suggested you to link to EventWriter examples, but there are none. 😐

Could you also add the send_batch method to have the same features that the EventWriter?

Nilirad

I prefer to write “Event” in monospace since we're linking to the trait itself and we're passing a type that implements it as an argument.

I'm OK for now to link to the trait instead of the module in the docs, since there is practically no documentation at the module level. This can be changed later with an event docs overhaul.

I prefer that the suggestion made in this comment should be applied before merging.

Added send_batch. I refactored the other two methods as special cases of send_batch to keep the error checks nice and DRY. 😛

missed to propose a rename before this was merged: #5383

after #5355, three methods were added on world: * `send_event` * `send_event_batch` * `send_default_event` rename `send_default_event` to `send_event_default` for better discoverability
