Easily spawn windows as independent UI roots. Ideal for debug widgets!

Usage

app.add_plugins(WindowAsUiRootPlugin);

commands.spawn((
  WindowAsUiRoot,
  BackgroundColor(Color::WHITE),
  children![(
    Text::new("Hello World!"),
    TextColor(Color::BLACK),
  )],
));

Insert the WindowAsUiRoot component on an entity and this plugin will:

Insert Node, Window, and Camera components if they don't already exist.
Connect the camera to the root node and window.
Automatically resize the window to match the root node's layout size (if it is auto or fixed).

Tips

Use the CloseWith relation to automatically close nested windows.
Set WindowPlugin.exit_condition to ExitCondition::OnPrimaryClosed to prevent popups from outliving the main window.
Insert Node { width: percent(100), height: percent(100), ..default() } on the UI root to make it resizable by the user.
