Structs

AsyncDispatcher	Like, Dispatcher but works asynchronously.
BitSet	A BitSet is a simple set designed to track which indices are placed into it.
DefaultVecStorage	Vector storage, like VecStorage, but allows safe access to the interior slices because unused slots are always initialized.
DenseVecStorage	Dense vector storage. Has a redirection 2-way table between entities and components, allowing to leave no gaps within the data.
Dispatcher	The dispatcher struct, allowing systems to be executed in parallel.
DispatcherBuilder	Builder for the Dispatcher.
Entity	Entity type, as seen by the user.
FlaggedStorage	Wrapper storage that tracks modifications, insertions, and removals of components through an EventChannel.
HashMapStorage	HashMap-based storage. Best suited for rare components.
LazyUpdate	Lazy updates can be used for world updates that need to borrow a lot of resources and as such should better be done at the end. They work lazily in the sense that they are dispatched when calling world.maintain().
NullStorage	A null storage type, used for cases where the component doesn't contain any data and instead works as a simple flag.
Read	Allows to fetch a resource in a system immutably.
ReaderId	A reader ID which represents a subscription to the events pushed to the EventChannel.
ResourceId	The id of a Resource, which simply wraps a type id and a "dynamic ID". The "dynamic ID" is usually just left 0, and, unless such documentation says otherwise, other libraries will assume that it is always 0; non-zero IDs are only used for special resource types that are specifically defined in a more dynamic way, such that resource types can essentially be created at run time, without having different static types.
StaticAccessor	The static accessor that is used for SystemData.
VecStorage	Vector storage. Uses a simple Vec. Supposed to have maximum performance for the components mostly present in entities.
World	A Resource container, which provides methods to insert, access and manage the contained resources.
Write	Allows to fetch a resource in a system mutably.

Enums

ComponentEvent

Component storage events received from a FlaggedStorage or any storage that implements Tracked.

Traits

Accessor	A trait for accessing read/write multiple resources from a system. This can be used to create dynamic systems that don't specify what they fetch at compile-time.
Component	Abstract component type. Doesn't have to be Copy or even Clone.
ParJoin	The purpose of the ParJoin trait is to provide a way to access multiple storages in parallel at the same time with the merged bit set.
ParallelIterator	Parallel version of the standard iterator trait.
Resource	A resource is a data slot which lives in the World can only be accessed according to Rust's typical borrowing model (one writer xor multiple readers).
RunNow	Trait for fetching data and running systems. Automatically implemented for systems.
System	A System, executed with a set of required Resources.
SystemData	A static system data that can specify its dependencies at statically (at compile-time). Most system data is a SystemData, the DynamicSystemData type is only needed for very special setups.
Tracked	UnprotectedStorages that track modifications, insertions, and removals of components.
WorldExt	This trait provides some extension methods to make working with shred's World easier.

Type Definitions

Entities	A wrapper for a read Entities resource. Note that this is just Read<Entities>, so you can easily use it in your system:
ReadExpect	Allows to fetch a resource in a system immutably. This will panic if the resource does not exist. Usage of Read or Option<Read> is therefore recommended.
ReadStorage	A storage with read access.
WriteExpect	Allows to fetch a resource in a system mutably. This will panic if the resource does not exist. Usage of Write or Option<Write> is therefore recommended.
WriteStorage	A storage with read and write access.

Derive Macros
