bevy_serialization_extras

A library for bevy which contains wrappers/systems for managing serialization in bevy with moonshine-save for a more "hands off" serialization workflow

demo_gif.webm

Features

• Out of the box serialization Through [plugins] for components

// Component <-> WrapperComponent
.add_plugins(SerializeComponentFor::<AsyncCollider, ColliderFlag>::default())

// AssetHandle <-> WrapperComponent
.add_plugins(SerializeAssetFor::<StandardMaterial, MaterialFlag>::default())

// WrapperComponent -> AssetHandle
.add_plugins(DeserializeAssetFrom::<GeometryFlag, Mesh>::default())

// Query -> Component, 
.add_plugins(SerializeQueryFor::<Linkage, ImpulseJoint, JointFlag>::default())

• Serialization of groups of enities that compose an asset into their singular asset equivillent, and vice-versa

See: https://github.com/rydb/bevy_serialization_urdf

//Query <-> Asset
.add_plugins(SerializeManyAsOneFor::<LinkQuery, Urdf>::default())

• Allows edititing unserializable(non-reflect) implementing components through the wrappers that convert to them

  E.G: Edit Rapier's ImpulseJoint through JointFlag

• type registration for wrappers through ManagedTypeRegistration trait

• A visualization util to list serializable/unserializable components(W.I.P)

Usage

For implementations of plugin trait bounds, see /Wrappers

TODO

• Add a mechanism for updating from old save versions to new save versions as to not break old save files.
