Crate amethyst_assets [−] [src]

amethyst_assets

Asset management crate. Designed with the following goals in mind:

AssetError	Error type returned when loading an asset. Includes the `AssetSpec` and the error (`LoadError`).
AssetFuture	A future for an asset
AssetPtr	An `AssetPtr` which provides `push_update`, `update` and `is_shared` methods. These can simply be called in order to implement the `Asset` trait.
AssetSpec	A specifier for an asset, uniquely identifying it by
BoxedErr	A boxed error implementing `Debug`, `Display` and `Error`.
Cache	A basic implementation for a cache. This might be useful as the `Context` of an `Asset`, so that the same asset doesn't get imported twice.
Directory	Directory store.
Loader	The asset loader, holding the contexts, the default (directory) store and a reference to the `ThreadPool`.
SharedAssetError	Shared version of error
SimpleAsset	`Asset` implementation that supports hot reloading
SimpleContext	A simple implementation of the `Context` trait.
SpawnedFuture	Represents a future value of an asset. This future may be added to the ECS world, where the responsible system can poll it and merge it into the persistent storage once it is `Ready`.
StoreId	A unique store id, used to identify the storage in `AssetSpec`.

LoadError	Combined error type which is produced when loading an asset. This error does not include information which asset failed to load. For that, please look at `AssetError`.
NoError	An error type which cannot be instantiated. Used as a placeholder for associated error types if something cannot fail.

Asset	One of the three core traits of this crate.
Context	The context type which manages assets of one type. It is responsible for caching
Format	A format, providing a conversion from bytes to asset data, which is then in turn accepted by `Asset::from_data`. Examples for formats are `Png`, `Obj` and `Wave`.
Store	A trait for asset stores, which provides methods for loading

Loads an asset with a given context, format, specifier and storage right now.
