Struct Asset 

pub struct Asset { /* private fields */ }

An asset containing type information and data.

Assets are the core data containers in the asset system. Each asset has a unique ID, an asset type that defines how to load and save it, and the actual data payload.

Implementations

impl Asset

pub fn new(asset_type: Weak<dyn AssetType>, data: Box<dyn AssetData>) -> Self

Creates a new asset with the given type and data.

The asset ID is initially set to 0 and will be assigned by the asset manager when the asset is registered.

Arguments

• asset_type - The type definition for this asset
• data - The actual asset data

pub fn from_serialized( mgr: &AssetManager, serialized: SerializedAsset, ) -> Result<Self, AssetError>

Creates an asset from a serialized representation.

This method reconstructs an asset from its serialized form by looking up the asset type from the manager and deserializing the data using the appropriate loader.

Arguments

• mgr - The asset manager to use for type lookup
• serialized - The serialized asset data

Returns

Ok(Asset) if deserialization succeeds, Err(AssetError) if the asset type is not found or deserialization fails.

pub fn id(&self) -> AssetId

Returns the unique identifier for this asset.

pub fn asset_type(&self) -> Weak<dyn AssetType>

Returns a clone of the asset type definition.

pub fn data(&self) -> &dyn AssetData

Returns a reference to the asset’s data.

The data can be downcast to the specific type using the downcast methods provided by the DowncastSync super-trait.
