This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with
planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many
relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities with the same
relationship type, but different relationship targets, are not forced
into separate tables (which would cause "table fragmentation").
Functionally, this fills a similar niche as the current Parent/Children
system. The biggest differences are:
1. Relationships have simpler internals and significantly improved
performance and UX. Commands and specialized APIs are no longer
necessary to keep everything in sync. Just spawn entities with the
relationship components you want and everything "just works".
2. Relationships are generalized. Bevy can provide additional built in
relationships, and users can define their own.
**REQUEST TO REVIEWERS**: _please don't leave top level comments and
instead comment on specific lines of code. That way we can take
advantage of threaded discussions. Also dont leave comments simply
pointing out CI failures as I can read those just fine._
## Built on top of what we have
Relationships are implemented on top of the Bevy ECS features we already
have: components, immutability, and hooks. This makes them immediately
compatible with all of our existing (and future) APIs for querying,
spawning, removing, scenes, reflection, etc. The fewer specialized APIs
we need to build, maintain, and teach, the better.
## Why focus on one-to-many non-fragmenting first?
1. This allows us to improve Parent/Children relationships immediately,
in a way that is reasonably uncontroversial. Switching our hierarchy to
fragmenting relationships would have significant performance
implications. ~~Flecs is heavily considering a switch to non-fragmenting
relations after careful considerations of the performance tradeoffs.~~
_(Correction from @SanderMertens: Flecs is implementing non-fragmenting
storage specialized for asset hierarchies, where asset hierarchies are
many instances of small trees that have a well defined structure)_
2. Adding generalized one-to-many relationships is currently a priority
for the [Next Generation Scene / UI
effort](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437).
Specifically, we're interested in building reactions and observers on
top.
## The changes
This PR does the following:
1. Adds a generic one-to-many Relationship system
3. Ports the existing Parent/Children system to Relationships, which now
lives in `bevy_ecs::hierarchy`. The old `bevy_hierarchy` crate has been
removed.
4. Adds on_despawn component hooks
5. Relationships can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, meaning
that the entire relationship hierarchy is despawned when
`entity.despawn()` is called. The built in Parent/Children hierarchies
enable this behavior, and `entity.despawn_recursive()` has been removed.
6. `world.spawn` now applies commands after spawning. This ensures that
relationship bookkeeping happens immediately and removes the need to
manually flush. This is in line with the equivalent behaviors recently
added to the other APIs (ex: insert).
7. Removes the ValidParentCheckPlugin (system-driven / poll based) in
favor of a `validate_parent_has_component` hook.
## Using Relationships
The `Relationship` trait looks like this:
```rust
pub trait Relationship: Component + Sized {
type RelationshipSources: RelationshipSources<Relationship = Self>;
fn get(&self) -> Entity;
fn from(entity: Entity) -> Self;
}
```
A relationship is a component that:
1. Is a simple wrapper over a "target" Entity.
2. Has a corresponding `RelationshipSources` component, which is a
simple wrapper over a collection of entities. Every "target entity"
targeted by a "source entity" with a `Relationship` has a
`RelationshipSources` component, which contains every "source entity"
that targets it.
For example, the `Parent` component (as it currently exists in Bevy) is
the `Relationship` component and the entity containing the Parent is the
"source entity". The entity _inside_ the `Parent(Entity)` component is
the "target entity". And that target entity has a `Children` component
(which implements `RelationshipSources`).
In practice, the Parent/Children relationship looks like this:
```rust
#[derive(Relationship)]
#[relationship(relationship_sources = Children)]
pub struct Parent(pub Entity);
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```
The Relationship and RelationshipSources derives automatically implement
Component with the relevant configuration (namely, the hooks necessary
to keep everything in sync).
The most direct way to add relationships is to spawn entities with
relationship components:
```rust
let a = world.spawn_empty().id();
let b = world.spawn(Parent(a)).id();
assert_eq!(world.entity(a).get::<Children>().unwrap(), &[b]);
```
There are also convenience APIs for spawning more than one entity with
the same relationship:
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_related::<Children>(|s| {
s.spawn_empty();
s.spawn_empty();
})
```
The existing `with_children` API is now a simpler wrapper over
`with_related`. This makes this change largely non-breaking for existing
spawn patterns.
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|s| {
s.spawn_empty();
s.spawn_empty();
})
```
There are also other relationship APIs, such as `add_related` and
`despawn_related`.
## Automatic recursive despawn via the new on_despawn hook
`RelationshipSources` can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior,
which will despawn all related entities in the relationship hierarchy:
```rust
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent, despawn_descendants)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```
This means that `entity.despawn_recursive()` is no longer required.
Instead, just use `entity.despawn()` and the relevant related entities
will also be despawned.
To despawn an entity _without_ despawning its parent/child descendants,
you should remove the `Children` component first, which will also remove
the related `Parent` components:
```rust
entity
.remove::<Children>()
.despawn()
```
This builds on the on_despawn hook introduced in this PR, which is fired
when an entity is despawned (before other hooks).
## Relationships are the source of truth
`Relationship` is the _single_ source of truth component.
`RelationshipSources` is merely a reflection of what all the
`Relationship` components say. By embracing this, we are able to
significantly improve the performance of the system as a whole. We can
rely on component lifecycles to protect us against duplicates, rather
than needing to scan at runtime to ensure entities don't already exist
(which results in quadratic runtime). A single source of truth gives us
constant-time inserts. This does mean that we cannot directly spawn
populated `Children` components (or directly add or remove entities from
those components). I personally think this is a worthwhile tradeoff,
both because it makes the performance much better _and_ because it means
theres exactly one way to do things (which is a philosophy we try to
employ for Bevy APIs).
As an aside: treating both sides of the relationship as "equivalent
source of truth relations" does enable building simple and flexible
many-to-many relationships. But this introduces an _inherent_ need to
scan (or hash) to protect against duplicates.
[`evergreen_relations`](https://github.com/EvergreenNest/evergreen_relations)
has a very nice implementation of the "symmetrical many-to-many"
approach. Unfortunately I think the performance issues inherent to that
approach make it a poor choice for Bevy's default relationship system.
## Followup Work
* Discuss renaming `Parent` to `ChildOf`. I refrained from doing that in
this PR to keep the diff reasonable, but I'm personally biased toward
this change (and using that naming pattern generally for relationships).
* [Improved spawning
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
* Consider adding relationship observers/triggers for "relationship
targets" whenever a source is added or removed. This would replace the
current "hierarchy events" system, which is unused upstream but may have
existing users downstream. I think triggers are the better fit for this
than a buffered event queue, and would prefer not to add that back.
* Fragmenting relations: My current idea hinges on the introduction of
"value components" (aka: components whose type _and_ value determines
their ComponentId, via something like Hashing / PartialEq). By labeling
a Relationship component such as `ChildOf(Entity)` as a "value
component", `ChildOf(e1)` and `ChildOf(e2)` would be considered
"different components". This makes the transition between fragmenting
and non-fragmenting a single flag, and everything else continues to work
as expected.
* Many-to-many support
* Non-fragmenting: We can expand Relationship to be a list of entities
instead of a single entity. I have largely already written the code for
this.
* Fragmenting: With the "value component" impl mentioned above, we get
many-to-many support "for free", as it would allow inserting multiple
copies of a Relationship component with different target entities.
Fixes#3742 (If this PR is merged, I think we should open more targeted
followup issues for the work above, with a fresh tracking issue free of
the large amount of less-directed historical context)
Fixes#17301Fixes#12235Fixes#15299Fixes#15308
## Migration Guide
* Replace `ChildBuilder` with `ChildSpawnerCommands`.
* Replace calls to `.set_parent(parent_id)` with
`.insert(Parent(parent_id))`.
* Replace calls to `.replace_children()` with `.remove::<Children>()`
followed by `.add_children()`. Note that you'll need to manually despawn
any children that are not carried over.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_recursive()` with `.despawn()`.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_descendants()` with
`.despawn_related::<Children>()`.
* If you have any calls to `.despawn()` which depend on the children
being preserved, you'll need to remove the `Children` component first.

# Objective
Occasionally bevy users will want to store systems or observer systems
in a component or resource, but they first try to store `IntoSystem`
instead of `System`, which leads to some headaches having to deal with
the `M` marker type parameter. We should recommend they use the `X`
trait instead of the `IntoX` trait in that case, as well for returning
from a function.
## Solution
Add usage notes to the `IntoX` traits about using `X` instead.
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111
## Solution
Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and
`clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `warn`, and bring
`bevy_ecs` in line with the new restrictions.
## Testing
This PR is a WIP; testing will happen after it's finished.
# Objective
- Use `Clone` on `SystemParam`, when applicable, in a generic context.
## Solution
- Add some derives
## Testing
- I ran `cargo test` once.
- I didn't even look at the output.

Fixes#17262.
## Migration Guide
- `ParamWarnPolicy::Once` has been renamed to `ParamWarnPolicy::Warn`.

# Objective
With the `track_location` feature, the error message of trying to
acquire an entity that was despawned pointed to the wrong line if the
entity index has been reused.
## Showcase
```rust
use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
fn main() {
let mut world = World::new();
let e = world.spawn_empty().id();
world.despawn(e);
world.flush();
let _ = world.spawn_empty();
world.entity(e);
}
```
Old message:
```
Entity 0v1 was despawned by src/main.rs:8:19
```
New message:
```
Entity 0v1 does not exist (its index has been reused)
```
# Objective
Stumbled upon a `from <-> form` transposition while reviewing a PR,
thought it was interesting, and went down a bit of a rabbit hole.
## Solution
Fix em
# Objective
Rework / build on #17043 to simplify the implementation. #17043 should
be merged first, and the diff from this PR will get much nicer after it
is merged (this PR is net negative LOC).
## Solution
1. Command and EntityCommand have been vastly simplified. No more marker
components. Just one function.
2. Command and EntityCommand are now generic on the return type. This
enables result-less commands to exist, and allows us to statically
distinguish between fallible and infallible commands, which allows us to
skip the "error handling overhead" for cases that don't need it.
3. There are now only two command queue variants: `queue` and
`queue_fallible`. `queue` accepts commands with no return type.
`queue_fallible` accepts commands that return a Result (specifically,
one that returns an error that can convert to
`bevy_ecs::result::Error`).
4. I've added the concept of the "default error handler", which is used
by `queue_fallible`. This is a simple direct call to the `panic()` error
handler by default. Users that want to override this can enable the
`configurable_error_handler` cargo feature, then initialize the
GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER value on startup. This is behind a flag because
there might be minor overhead with `OnceLock` and I'm guessing this will
be a niche feature. We can also do perf testing with OnceLock if someone
really wants it to be used unconditionally, but I don't personally feel
the need to do that.
5. I removed the "temporary error handler" on Commands (and all code
associated with it). It added more branching, made Commands bigger /
more expensive to initialize (note that we construct it at high
frequencies / treat it like a pointer type), made the code harder to
follow, and introduced a bunch of additional functions. We instead rely
on the new default error handler used in `queue_fallible` for most
things. In the event that a custom handler is required,
`handle_error_with` can be used.
6. EntityCommand now _only_ supports functions that take
`EntityWorldMut` (and all existing entity commands have been ported).
Removing the marker component from EntityCommand hinged on this change,
but I strongly believe this is for the best anyway, as this sets the
stage for more efficient batched entity commands.
7. I added `EntityWorldMut::resource` and the other variants for more
ergonomic resource access on `EntityWorldMut` (removes the need for
entity.world_scope, which also incurs entity-lookup overhead).
## Open Questions
1. I believe we could merge `queue` and `queue_fallible` into a single
`queue` which accepts both fallible and infallible commands (via the
introduction of a `QueueCommand` trait). Is this desirable?
# Objective
Many instances of `clippy::too_many_arguments` linting happen to be on
systems - functions which we don't call manually, and thus there's not
much reason to worry about the argument count.
## Solution
Allow `clippy::too_many_arguments` globally, and remove all lint
attributes related to it.
## Objective
Fixes#2004Fixes#3845Fixes#7118Fixes#10166
## Solution
- The crux of this PR is the new `Command::with_error_handling` method.
This wraps the relevant command in another command that, when applied,
will apply the original command and handle any resulting errors.
- To enable this, `Command::apply` and `EntityCommand::apply` now return
`Result`.
- `Command::with_error_handling` takes as a parameter an error handler
of the form `fn(&mut World, CommandError)`, which it passes the error
to.
- `CommandError` is an enum that can be either `NoSuchEntity(Entity)` or
`CommandFailed(Box<dyn Error>)`.
### Closures
- Closure commands can now optionally return `Result`, which will be
passed to `with_error_handling`.
### Commands
- Fallible commands can be queued with `Commands::queue_fallible` and
`Commands::queue_fallible_with`, which call `with_error_handling` before
queuing them (using `Commands::queue` will queue them without error
handling).
- `Commands::queue_fallible_with` takes an `error_handler` parameter,
which will be used by `with_error_handling` instead of a command's
default.
- The `command` submodule provides unqueued forms of built-in fallible
commands so that you can use them with `queue_fallible_with`.
- There is also an `error_handler` submodule that provides simple error
handlers for convenience.
### Entity Commands
- `EntityCommand` now automatically checks if the entity exists before
executing the command, and returns `NoSuchEntity` if it doesn't.
- Since all entity commands might need to return an error, they are
always queued with error handling.
- `EntityCommands::queue_with` takes an `error_handler` parameter, which
will be used by `with_error_handling` instead of a command's default.
- The `entity_command` submodule provides unqueued forms of built-in
entity commands so that you can use them with `queue_with`.
### Defaults
- In the future, commands should all fail according to the global error
handling setting. That doesn't exist yet though.
- For this PR, commands all fail the way they do on `main`.
- Both now and in the future, the defaults can be overridden by
`Commands::override_error_handler` (or equivalent methods on
`EntityCommands` and `EntityEntryCommands`).
- `override_error_handler` takes an error handler (`fn(&mut World,
CommandError)`) and passes it to every subsequent command queued with
`Commands::queue_fallible` or `EntityCommands::queue`.
- The `_with` variants of the queue methods will still provide an error
handler directly to the command.
- An override can be reset with `reset_error_handler`.
## Future Work
- After a universal error handling mode is added, we can change all
commands to fail that way by default.
- Once we have all commands failing the same way (which would require
either the full removal of `try` variants or just making them useless
while they're deprecated), `queue_fallible_with_default` could be
removed, since its only purpose is to enable commands having different
defaults.
# Background
In `no_std` compatible crates, there is often an `std` feature which
will allow access to the standard library. Currently, with the `std`
feature _enabled_, the
[`std::prelude`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/prelude/index.html) is
implicitly imported in all modules. With the feature _disabled_, instead
the [`core::prelude`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/prelude/index.html)
is implicitly imported. This creates a subtle and pervasive issue where
`alloc` items _may_ be implicitly included (if `std` is enabled), or
must be explicitly included (if `std` is not enabled).
# Objective
- Make the implicit imports for `no_std` crates consistent regardless of
what features are/not enabled.
## Solution
- Replace the `cfg_attr` "double negative" `no_std` attribute with
conditional compilation to _include_ `std` as an external crate.
```rust
// Before
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]
// After
#![no_std]
#[cfg(feature = "std")]
extern crate std;
```
- Fix imports that are currently broken but are only now visible with
the above fix.
## Testing
- CI
## Notes
I had previously used the "double negative" version of `no_std` based on
general consensus that it was "cleaner" within the Rust embedded
community. However, this implicit prelude issue likely was considered
when forming this consensus. I believe the reason why is the items most
affected by this issue are provided by the `alloc` crate, which is
rarely used within embedded but extensively used within Bevy.
# Objective
- As stated in the related issue, this PR is to better align the feature
flag name with what it actually does and the plans for the future.
- Fixes#16852
## Solution
- Simple find / replace
## Testing
- Local run of `cargo run -p ci`
## Migration Guide
The `track_change_detection` feature flag has been renamed to
`track_location` to better reflect its extended capabilities.
# Objective
- #16589 added an enum to switch between fallible and infallible system.
This branching should be unnecessary if we wrap infallible systems in a
function to return `Ok(())`.
## Solution
- Create a wrapper system for `System<(), ()>`s that returns `Ok` on the
call to `run` and `run_unsafe`. The wrapper should compile out, but I
haven't checked.
- I removed the `impl IntoSystemConfigs for BoxedSystem<(), ()>` as I
couldn't figure out a way to keep the impl without double boxing.
## Testing
- ran `many_foxes` example to check if it still runs.
## Migration Guide
- `IntoSystemConfigs` has been removed for `BoxedSystem<(), ()>`. Either
use `InfallibleSystemWrapper` before boxing or make your system return
`bevy::ecs::prelude::Result`.
# Objective
- Made certain methods public for advanced use cases. Methods that
returns mutable references are marked as unsafe due to the possibility
of violating internal lifetime constraint assumptions.
- Fixes an issue introduced by #15184
## Objective
Commands were previously limited to structs that implemented `Command`.
Now there are blanket implementations for closures, which (in my
opinion) are generally preferable.
Internal commands within `commands/mod.rs` have been switched from
structs to closures, but there are a number of internal commands in
other areas of the engine that still use structs. I'd like to tidy these
up by moving their implementations to methods on
`World`/`EntityWorldMut` and changing `Commands` to use those methods
through closures.
This PR handles the following:
- `TriggerEvent` and `EmitDynamicTrigger` double as commands and helper
structs, and can just be moved to `World` methods.
- Four structs that enabled insertion/removal of components via
reflection. This functionality shouldn't be exclusive to commands, and
can be added to `EntityWorldMut`.
- Five structs that mostly just wrapped `World` methods, and can be
replaced with closures that do the same thing.
## Solution
- __Observer Triggers__ (`observer/trigger_event.rs` and
`observer/mod.rs`)
- Moved the internals of `TriggerEvent` to the `World` methods that used
it.
- Replaced `EmitDynamicTrigger` with two `World` methods:
- `trigger_targets_dynamic`
- `trigger_targets_dynamic_ref`
- `TriggerTargets` was now the only thing in
`observer/trigger_event.rs`, so it's been moved to `observer/mod.rs` and
`trigger_event.rs` was deleted.
- __Reflection Insert/Remove__ (`reflect/entity_commands.rs`)
- Replaced the following `Command` impls with equivalent methods on
`EntityWorldMut`:
- `InsertReflect` -> `insert_reflect`
- `InsertReflectWithRegistry` -> `insert_reflect_with_registry`
- `RemoveReflect` -> `remove_reflect`
- `RemoveReflectWithRegistry` -> `remove_reflect_with_registry`
- __System Registration__ (`system/system_registry.rs`)
- The following `Command` impls just wrapped a `World` method and have
been replaced with closures:
- `RunSystemWith`
- `UnregisterSystem`
- `RunSystemCachedWith`
- `UnregisterSystemCached`
- `RegisterSystem` called a helper function that basically worked as a
constructor for `RegisteredSystem` and made sure it came with a marker
component. That helper function has been replaced with
`RegisteredSystem::new` and a `#[require]`.
## Possible Addition
The extension trait that adds the reflection commands,
`ReflectCommandExt`, isn't strictly necessary; we could just `impl
EntityCommands`. We could even move them to the same files as the main
impls and put it behind a `#[cfg]`.
The PR that added it [had a similar
conversation](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8895#discussion_r1234713671)
and decided to stick with the trait, but we could revisit it here if so
desired.
# Objective
Fixes#16104
## Solution
I removed all instances of `:?` and put them back one by one where it
caused an error.
I removed some bevy_utils helper functions that were only used in 2
places and don't add value. See: #11478
## Testing
CI should catch the mistakes
## Migration Guide
`bevy::utils::{dbg,info,warn,error}` were removed. Use
`bevy::utils::tracing::{debug,info,warn,error}` instead.

# Objective
- First step for #16718
- #16589 introduced an api that can only ignore errors, which is risky
## Solution
- Panic instead of just ignoring the errors
## Testing
- Changed the `fallible_systems` example to return an error
```
Encountered an error in system `fallible_systems::setup`: TooManyVertices { subdivisions: 300, number_of_resulting_points: 906012 }
Encountered a panic in system `fallible_systems::setup`!
Encountered a panic in system `bevy_app::main_schedule::Main::run_main`!
```
## Objective
I believe these started as structs, back when that was how commands had
to be implemented. Now they just hide implementation details.
## Solution
Remove the helper functions and move each implementation into its
respective method, except for the ones that actually reduce code
duplication.
# Objective
Fixes: #16578
## Solution
This is a patch fix, proper fix requires a breaking change.
Added `Panic` enum variant and using is as the system meta default.
Warn once behavior can be enabled same way disabling panic (originally
disabling wans) is.
To fix an issue with the current architecture, where **all** combinator
system params get checked together,
combinator systems only check params of the first system.
This will result in old, panicking behavior on subsequent systems and
will be fixed in 0.16.
## Testing
Ran unit tests and `fallible_params` example.

# Objective
Simplify the code by using `macro_rules` instead of a proc macro where
possible.
## Solution
Replace `impl_param_set` proc macro with a `macro_rules` macro.
# Objective
In current Bevy, it is very inconvenient to mutably retrieve a
user-provided list of entities more than one element at a time.
If the list contains any duplicate entities, we risk mutable aliasing.
Users of `Query::iter_many_mut` do not have access to `Iterator` trait,
and thus miss out on common functionality, for instance collecting their
`QueryManyIter`.
We can circumvent this issue with validation, however that entails
checking every entity against all others for inequality, or utilizing an
`EntityHashSet`. Even if an entity list remains unchanged, this
validation is/would have to be redone every time we wish to fetch with
the list.
This presents a lot of wasted work, as we often trivially know an entity
list to be unique f.e.: `QueryIter` will fetch every `Entity` once and
only once.
As more things become entities – assets, components, queries – this
issue will become more pronounced.
`get_many`/`many`/`iter_many`/`par_iter_many`-like functionality is all
affected.
## Solution
The solution this PR proposes is to introduce functionality built around
a new trait: `EntitySet`.
The goal is to preserve the property of "uniqueness" in a list wherever
possible, and then rely on it as a bound within new `*_many_unique`
methods to avoid the need for validation.
This is achieved using `Iterator`:
`EntitySet` is blanket implemented for any `T` that implements
`IntoIterator<IntoIter: EntitySetIterator>`.
`EntitySetIterator` is the unsafe trait that actually guarantees an
iterator to be "unique" via its safety contract.
We define an "Iterator over unique entities" as: "No two entities
returned by the iterator may compare equal."
For iterators that cannot return more than 1 element, this is trivially
true.
Whether an iterator can satisfy this is up to the `EntitySetIterator`
implementor to ensure, hence the unsafe.
However, this is not yet a complete solution. Looking at the signature
of `iter_many`, we find that `IntoIterator::Item` is not `Entity`, but
is instead bounded by the `Borrow<Entity>` trait. That is because
iteration without consuming the collection will often yield us
references, not owned items.
`Borrow<Entity>` presents an issue: The `Borrow` docs state that `x = y`
should equal `x.borrow() = y.borrow()`, but unsafe cannot rely on this
for soundness. We run into similar problems with other trait
implementations of any `Borrow<Entity>` type: `PartialEq`, `Eq`,
`PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Hash`, `Clone`, `Borrow`, and `BorrowMut`.
This PR solves this with the unsafe `TrustedEntityBorrow` trait:
Any implementor promises that the behavior of the aforementioned traits
matches that of the underlying entity.
While `Borrow<Entity>` was the inspiration, we use our own counterpart
trait `EntityBorrow` as the supertrait to `TrustedEntityBorrow`, so we
can circumvent the limitations of the existing `Borrow<T>` blanket
impls.
All together, these traits allow us to implement `*_many_unique`
functionality with a lone `EntitySet` bound.
`EntitySetIterator` is implemented for all the std iterators and
iterator adapters that guarantee or preserve uniqueness, so we can
filter, skip, take, step, reverse, ... our unique entity iterators
without worry!
Sadly, current `HashSet` iterators do not carry the necessary type
information with them to determine whether the source `HashSet` produces
logic errors; A malicious `Hasher` could compromise a `HashSet`.
`HashSet` iteration is generally discouraged in the first place, so we
also exclude the set operation iterators, even though they do carry the
`Hasher` type parameter.
`BTreeSet` implements `EntitySet` without any problems.
If an iterator type cannot guarantee uniqueness at compile time, then a
user can still attach `EntitySetIterator` to an individual instance of
that type via `UniqueEntityIter::from_iterator_unchecked`.
With this, custom types can use `UniqueEntityIter<I>` as their
`IntoIterator::IntoIter` type, if necessary.
This PR is focused on the base concept, and expansions on it are left
for follow-up PRs. See "Potential Future Work" below.
## Testing
Doctests on `iter_many_unique`/`iter_many_unique_mut` + 2 tests in
entity_set.rs.

```rust
// Before:
fn system(player_list: Res<SomeUniquePlayerList>, players: Query<&mut Player>) {
let value = 0;
while let Some(player) = players.iter_many_mut(player_list).fetch_next() {
value += mem::take(player.value_mut())
}
}
// After:
fn system(player_list: Res<SomeUniquePlayerList>, players: Query<&mut Player>) {
let value = players
.iter_many_unique_mut(player_list)
.map(|player| mem::take(player.value_mut()))
.sum();
}
```
## Changelog
- added `EntityBorrow`, `TrustedEntityBorrow`, `EntitySet` and
`EntitySetIterator` traits
- added `iter_many_unique`, `iter_many_unique_mut`,
`iter_many_unique_unsafe` methods on `Query`
- added `iter_many_unique`, `iter_many_unique_mut`,
`iter_many_unique_manual` and `iter_many_unique_unchecked_manual`
methods on `QueryState`
- added corresponding `QueryManyUniqueIter`
- added `UniqueEntityIter`
## Migration Guide
Any custom type used as a `Borrow<Entity>` entity list item for an
`iter_many` method now has to implement `EntityBorrow` instead. Any type
that implements `Borrow<Entity>` can trivially implement `EntityBorrow`.
## Potential Future Work
- `ToEntitySet` trait for converting any entity iterator into an
`EntitySetIterator`
- `EntityIndexSet/Map` to tie in hashing with `EntitySet`
- add `EntityIndexSetSlice/MapSlice`
- requires: `EntityIndexSet/Map`
- Implementing `par_iter_many_unique_mut` for parallel mutable iteration
- requires: `par_iter_many`
- allow collecting into `UniqueEntityVec` to store entity sets
- add `UniqueEntitySlice`s
- Doesn't require, but should be done after: `UniqueEntityVec`
- add `UniqueEntityArray`s
- Doesn't require, but should be done after: `UniqueEntitySlice`
- `get_many_unique`/`many_unique` methods
- requires: `UniqueEntityArray`
- `World::entity_unique` to match `World::entity` methods
- Doesn't require, but makes sense after:
`get_many_unique`/`many_unique`
- implement `TrustedEntityBorrow` for the `EntityRef` family
- Doesn't require, but makes sense after: `UniqueEntityVec`
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
## Solution
- Added the following features:
- `std` (default)
- `async_executor` (default)
- `edge_executor`
- `critical-section`
- `portable-atomic`
- Gated `tracing` in `bevy_utils` to allow compilation on certain
platforms
- Switched from `tracing` to `log` for simple message logging within
`bevy_ecs`. Note that `tracing` supports capturing from `log` so this
should be an uncontroversial change.
- Fixed imports and added feature gates as required
- Made `bevy_tasks` optional within `bevy_ecs`. Turns out it's only
needed for parallel operations which are already gated behind
`multi_threaded` anyway.
## Testing
- Added to `compile-check-no-std` CI command
- `cargo check -p bevy_ecs --no-default-features --features
edge_executor,critical-section,portable-atomic --target
thumbv6m-none-eabi`
- `cargo check -p bevy_ecs --no-default-features --features
edge_executor,critical-section`
- `cargo check -p bevy_ecs --no-default-features`
## Draft Release Notes
Bevy's core ECS now supports `no_std` platforms.
In prior versions of Bevy, it was not possible to work with embedded or
niche platforms due to our reliance on the standard library, `std`. This
has blocked a number of novel use-cases for Bevy, such as an embedded
database for IoT devices, or for creating games on retro consoles.
With this release, `bevy_ecs` no longer requires `std`. To use Bevy on a
`no_std` platform, you must disable default features and enable the new
`edge_executor` and `critical-section` features. You may also need to
enable `portable-atomic` and `critical-section` if your platform does
not natively support all atomic types and operations used by Bevy.
```toml
[dependencies]
bevy_ecs = { version = "0.16", default-features = false, features = [
# Required for platforms with incomplete atomics (e.g., Raspberry Pi Pico)
"portable-atomic",
"critical-section",
# Optional
"bevy_reflect",
"serialize",
"bevy_debug_stepping",
"edge_executor"
] }
```
Currently, this has been tested on bare-metal x86 and the Raspberry Pi
Pico. If you have trouble using `bevy_ecs` on a particular platform,
please reach out either through a GitHub issue or in the `no_std`
working group on the Bevy Discord server.
Keep an eye out for future `no_std` updates as we continue to improve
the parity between `std` and `no_std`. We look forward to seeing what
kinds of applications are now possible with Bevy!
## Notes
- Creating PR in draft to ensure CI is passing before requesting
reviews.
- This implementation has no support for multithreading in `no_std`,
especially due to `NonSend` being unsound if allowed in multithreading.
The reason is we cannot check the `ThreadId` in `no_std`, so we have no
mechanism to at-runtime determine if access is sound.

# Objective
Example error message beforehand:
```
error[B0001]: Query<&mut Data, ()> in system bevytest::main::{{closure}} accesses component(s)Data in a way that conflicts with a previous…
```
# Objective
Expand `track_change_detection` feature to also track entity spawns and
despawns. Use this to create better error messages.
# Solution
Adds `Entities::entity_get_spawned_or_despawned_by` as well as `{all
entity reference types}::spawned_by`.
This also removes the deprecated `get_many_entities_mut` & co (and
therefore can't land in 0.15) because we don't yet have no Polonius.
## Testing
Added a test that checks that the locations get updated and these
updates are ordered correctly vs hooks & observers.
---
## Showcase
Access location:
```rust
let mut world = World::new();
let entity = world.spawn_empty().id();
println!("spawned by: {}", world.entity(entity).spawned_by());
```
```
spawned by: src/main.rs:5:24
```
Error message (with `track_change_detection`):
```rust
world.despawn(entity);
world.entity(entity);
```
```
thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:11:11:
Entity 0v1#4294967296 was despawned by src/main.rs:10:11
```
and without:
```
thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:11:11:
Entity 0v1#4294967296 does not exist (enable `track_change_detection` feature for more details)
```
Similar error messages now also exists for `Query::get`,
`World::entity_mut`, `EntityCommands` creation and everything that
causes `B0003`, e.g.
```
error[B0003]: Could not insert a bundle (of type `MaterialMeshBundle<StandardMaterial>`) for entity Entity { index: 7, generation: 1 }, which was despawned by src/main.rs:10:11. See: https://bevyengine.org/learn/errors/#b0003

## Objective
Thanks to @eugineerd's work on entity cloning (#16132), we now have a
robust way to copy components between entities. We can extend this to
implement some useful functionality that would have been more
complicated before.
Closes#15350.
## Solution
`EntityCloneBuilder` now automatically includes required components
alongside any component added/removed from the component filter.
Added the following methods to `EntityCloneBuilder`:
- `move_components`
- `without_required_components`
Added the following methods to `EntityWorldMut` and `EntityCommands`:
- `clone_with`
- `clone_components`
- `move_components`
Also added `clone_and_spawn` and `clone_and_spawn_with` to
`EntityWorldMut` (`EntityCommands` already had them).
## Showcase
```
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_a).get::<B>(), Some(&B));
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_b).get::<B>(), None);
world.entity_mut(entity_a).clone_components::<B>(entity_b);
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_a).get::<B>(), Some(&B));
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_b).get::<B>(), Some(&B));
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_a).get::<C>(), Some(&C(5)));
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_b).get::<C>(), None);
world.entity_mut(entity_a).move_components::<C>(entity_b);
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_a).get::<C>(), None);
assert_eq!(world.entity(entity_b).get::<C>(), Some(&C(5)));
```
# Objective
- Writing an API, and I want to allow users to pass in extra data
alongside the API provided input, and tuples are the most natural
extension in this case.
- Bring `SystemInput` up to par with `SystemParam` for tuple support.
## Solution
- Added impls for tuples up to 8 elements. If you need a 9-arity tuple
or more, write your own `SystemInput` type (it's incredibly simple to
do).
## Testing
- Added a test demonstrating this.
---
## Showcase
Tuples of arbitrary`SystemInput`s are now supported:
```rust
fn by_value((In(a), In(b)): (In<usize>, In<usize>)) -> usize {
a + b
}
fn by_mut((InMut(a), In(b)): (InMut<usize>, In<usize>)) {
*a += b;
}
let mut world = World::new();
let mut by_value = IntoSystem::into_system(by_value);
let mut by_mut = IntoSystem::into_system(by_mut);
by_value.initialize(&mut world);
by_mut.initialize(&mut world);
assert_eq!(by_value.run((12, 24), &mut world), 36);
let mut a = 10;
let b = 5;
by_mut.run((&mut a, b), &mut world);
assert_eq!(*a, 15);
```
# Objective
Fixes#16776
## Solution
- reflect `&'static Location` as an opaque type
- I've added this to `impls/std.rs` because other core types are there
too. Maybe they should be split out into a `core.rs` in another PR.
- add source location to `EventId` (behind the
`tracking_change_detection` feature flag)
## Testing
---
## Showcase
```rust
fn apply_damage_to_health(
mut dmg_events: EventReader<DealDamage>,
) {
for (event, event_id) in dmg_events.read_with_id() {
info!(
"Applying {} damage, triggered by {}",
event.amount, event_id.caller
);
…
```
```
2024-12-12T01:21:50.126827Z INFO event: Applying 9 damage, triggered by examples/ecs/event.rs:47:16
```
## Migration Guide
- If you manually construct a `SendEvent`, use `SendEvent::new()`

# Objective
- Fixes#16497
- This is my first PR, so I'm still learning to contribute to the
project
## Solution
- Added struct `UnregisterSystemCached` and function
`unregister_system_cached`
- renamed `World::run_system_with_input` to `run_system_with`
- reordered input parameters for `World::run_system_once_with`
## Testing
- Added a crude test which registers a system via
`World::register_system_cached`, and removes it via
`Command::unregister_system_cached`.
## Migration Guide
- Change all occurrences of `World::run_system_with_input` to
`World::run_system_with`.
- swap the order of input parameters for `World::run_system_once_with`
such that the system comes before the input.

## Objective
Follow-up to #16672.
`EntityCommands::clone` looks the same as the `Clone` trait, which could
be confusing. A discord discussion has made me realize that's probably a
bigger problem than I thought. Oops :P
## Solution
Renamed `EntityCommands::clone` to `EntityCommands::clone_and_spawn`,
renamed `EntityCommands::clone_with` to
`EntityCommands::clone_and_spawn_with`. Also added some docs explaining
the commands' relation to `Clone` (components need to implement it (or
`Reflect`)).
## Showcase
```
// Create a new entity and keep its EntityCommands
let mut entity = commands.spawn((ComponentA(10), ComponentB(20)));
// Create a clone of the first entity
let mut entity_clone = entity.clone_and_spawn();
```
## The Bikeshed
- `clone_and_spawn` (Alice's suggestion)
- `spawn_clone` (benfrankel's suggestion)
- `spawn_cloned` (rparrett's suggestion)
# Objective
The documentation for `Query::transmute_lens` lists some allowed
transmutes, but the list is incomplete.
## Solution
Document the underlying rules for what transmutes are allowed.
Add a longer list of examples. Write them as doc tests to ensure that
those examples are actually allowed.
I'm assuming that anything that can be done today is intended to be
supported! If any of these examples are things we plan to prohibit in
the future then we can add some warnings to that effect.
# Objective
- Remove `derive_more`'s error derivation and replace it with
`thiserror`
## Solution
- Added `derive_more`'s `error` feature to `deny.toml` to prevent it
sneaking back in.
- Reverted to `thiserror` error derivation
## Notes
Merge conflicts were too numerous to revert the individual changes, so
this reversion was done manually. Please scrutinise carefully during
review.
## Objective
I was resolving a conflict between #16132 and my PR #15929 and thought
the `clone_entity` commands made more sense in `EntityCommands`.
## Solution
Moved `Commands::clone_entity` to `EntityCommands::clone`, moved
`Commands::clone_entity_with` to `EntityCommands::clone_with`.
## Testing
Ran the two tests that used the old methods.
## Showcase
```
// Create a new entity and keep its EntityCommands.
let mut entity = commands.spawn((ComponentA(10), ComponentB(20)));
// Create a clone of the first entity
let mut entity_clone = entity.clone();
```
The only potential downside is that the method name is now the same as
the one from the `Clone` trait. `EntityCommands` doesn't implement
`Clone` though, so there's no actual conflict.
Maybe I'm biased because this'll work better with my PR, but I think the
UX is nicer regardless.
# Objective
Error handling in bevy is hard. See for reference
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11562,
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10874 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12660. The goal of this PR is
to make it better, by allowing users to optionally return `Result` from
systems as outlined by Cart in
<https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14275#issuecomment-2223708314>.
## Solution
This PR introduces a new `ScheuleSystem` type to represent systems that
can be added to schedules. Instances of this type contain either an
infallible `BoxedSystem<(), ()>` or a fallible `BoxedSystem<(),
Result>`. `ScheuleSystem` implements `System<In = (), Out = Result>` and
replaces all uses of `BoxedSystem` in schedules. The async executor now
receives a result after executing a system, which for infallible systems
is always `Ok(())`. Currently it ignores this result, but more useful
error handling could also be implemented.
Aliases for `Error` and `Result` have been added to the `bevy_ecs`
prelude, as well as const `OK` which new users may find more friendly
than `Ok(())`.
## Testing
- Currently there are not actual semantics changes that really require
new tests, but I added a basic one just to make sure we don't break
stuff in the future.
- The behavior of existing systems is totally unchanged, including
logging.
- All of the existing systems tests pass, and I have not noticed
anything strange while playing with the examples
## Showcase
The following minimal example prints "hello world" once, then completes.
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new().add_systems(Update, hello_world_system).run();
}
fn hello_world_system() -> Result {
println!("hello world");
Err("string")?;
println!("goodbye world");
OK
}
```
## Migration Guide
This change should be pretty much non-breaking, except for users who
have implemented their own custom executors. Those users should use
`ScheduleSystem` in place of `BoxedSystem<(), ()>` and import the
`System` trait where needed. They can choose to do whatever they wish
with the result.
## Current Work
+ [x] Fix tests & doc comments
+ [x] Write more tests
+ [x] Add examples
+ [X] Draft release notes
## Draft Release Notes
As of this release, systems can now return results.
First a bit of background: Bevy has hisotrically expected systems to
return the empty type `()`. While this makes sense in the context of the
ecs, it's at odds with how error handling is typically done in rust:
returning `Result::Error` to indicate failure, and using the
short-circuiting `?` operator to propagate that error up the call stack
to where it can be properly handled. Users of functional languages will
tell you this is called "monadic error handling".
Not being able to return `Results` from systems left bevy users with a
quandry. They could add custom error handling logic to every system, or
manually pipe every system into an error handler, or perhaps sidestep
the issue with some combination of fallible assignents, logging, macros,
and early returns. Often, users would just litter their systems with
unwraps and possible panics.
While any one of these approaches might be fine for a particular user,
each of them has their own drawbacks, and none makes good use of the
language. Serious issues could also arrise when two different crates
used by the same project made different choices about error handling.
Now, by returning results, systems can defer error handling to the
application itself. It looks like this:
```rust
// Previous, handling internally
app.add_systems(my_system)
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) {
let Ok(window) = query.get_single() else {
return;
};
// ... do something to the window here
}
// Previous, handling externally
app.add_systems(my_system.pipe(my_error_handler))
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) -> Result<(), impl Error> {
let window = query.get_single()?;
// ... do something to the window here
Ok(())
}
// Previous, panicking
app.add_systems(my_system)
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) {
let window = query.single();
// ... do something to the window here
}
// Now
app.add_systems(my_system)
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) -> Result {
let window = query.get_single()?;
// ... do something to the window here
Ok(())
}
```
There are currently some limitations. Systems must either return `()` or
`Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>>`, with no
in-between. Results are also ignored by default, and though implementing
a custom handler is possible, it involves writing your own custom ecs
executor (which is *not* recomended).
Systems should return errors when they cannot perform their normal
behavior. In turn, errors returned to the executor while running the
schedule will (eventually) be treated as unexpected. Users and library
authors should prefer to return errors for anything that disrupts the
normal expected behavior of a system, and should only handle expected
cases internally.
We have big plans for improving error handling further:
+ Allowing users to change the error handling logic of the default
executors.
+ Adding source tracking and optional backtraces to errors.
+ Possibly adding tracing-levels (Error/Warn/Info/Debug/Trace) to
errors.
+ Generally making the default error logging more helpful and
inteligent.
+ Adding monadic system combininators for fallible systems.
+ Possibly removing all panicking variants from our api.

# Objective
- Required by #16622 due to differing implementations of `System` by
`FunctionSystem` and `ExclusiveFunctionSystem`.
- Optimize the memory usage of instances of `apply_deferred` in system
schedules.
## Solution
By changing `apply_deferred` from being an ordinary system that ends up
as an `ExclusiveFunctionSystem`, and instead into a ZST struct that
implements `System` manually, we save ~320 bytes per instance of
`apply_deferred` in any schedule.
## Testing
- All current tests pass.
---
## Migration Guide
- If you were previously calling the special `apply_deferred` system via
`apply_deferred(world)`, don't.
# Objective
Outside of the `bevy_ecs` crate it's hard to implement `SystemParam`
trait on params that require access to the `World`, because `init_state`
expects user to extend access in `SystemMeta` and access-related fields
of `SystemMeta` are private.
## Solution
Expose those fields as a functions
# Objective
- Fixes#16208
## Solution
- Added an associated type to `Component`, `Mutability`, which flags
whether a component is mutable, or immutable. If `Mutability= Mutable`,
the component is mutable. If `Mutability= Immutable`, the component is
immutable.
- Updated `derive_component` to default to mutable unless an
`#[component(immutable)]` attribute is added.
- Updated `ReflectComponent` to check if a component is mutable and, if
not, panic when attempting to mutate.
## Testing
- CI
- `immutable_components` example.
---
## Showcase
Users can now mark a component as `#[component(immutable)]` to prevent
safe mutation of a component while it is attached to an entity:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
#[component(immutable)]
struct Foo {
// ...
}
```
This prevents creating an exclusive reference to the component while it
is attached to an entity. This is particularly powerful when combined
with component hooks, as you can now fully track a component's value,
ensuring whatever invariants you desire are upheld. Before this would be
done my making a component private, and manually creating a `QueryData`
implementation which only permitted read access.
<details>
<summary>Using immutable components as an index</summary>
```rust
/// This is an example of a component like [`Name`](bevy::prelude::Name), but immutable.
#[derive(Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Hash, Component)]
#[component(
immutable,
on_insert = on_insert_name,
on_replace = on_replace_name,
)]
pub struct Name(pub &'static str);
/// This index allows for O(1) lookups of an [`Entity`] by its [`Name`].
#[derive(Resource, Default)]
struct NameIndex {
name_to_entity: HashMap<Name, Entity>,
}
impl NameIndex {
fn get_entity(&self, name: &'static str) -> Option<Entity> {
self.name_to_entity.get(&Name(name)).copied()
}
}
fn on_insert_name(mut world: DeferredWorld<'_>, entity: Entity, _component: ComponentId) {
let Some(&name) = world.entity(entity).get::<Name>() else {
unreachable!()
};
let Some(mut index) = world.get_resource_mut::<NameIndex>() else {
return;
};
index.name_to_entity.insert(name, entity);
}
fn on_replace_name(mut world: DeferredWorld<'_>, entity: Entity, _component: ComponentId) {
let Some(&name) = world.entity(entity).get::<Name>() else {
unreachable!()
};
let Some(mut index) = world.get_resource_mut::<NameIndex>() else {
return;
};
index.name_to_entity.remove(&name);
}
// Setup our name index
world.init_resource::<NameIndex>();
// Spawn some entities!
let alyssa = world.spawn(Name("Alyssa")).id();
let javier = world.spawn(Name("Javier")).id();
// Check our index
let index = world.resource::<NameIndex>();
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Alyssa"), Some(alyssa));
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Javier"), Some(javier));
// Changing the name of an entity is also fully capture by our index
world.entity_mut(javier).insert(Name("Steven"));
// Javier changed their name to Steven
let steven = javier;
// Check our index
let index = world.resource::<NameIndex>();
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Javier"), None);
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Steven"), Some(steven));
```
</details>
Additionally, users can use `Component<Mutability = ...>` in trait
bounds to enforce that a component _is_ mutable or _is_ immutable. When
using `Component` as a trait bound without specifying `Mutability`, any
component is applicable. However, methods which only work on mutable or
immutable components are unavailable, since the compiler must be
pessimistic about the type.
## Migration Guide
- When implementing `Component` manually, you must now provide a type
for `Mutability`. The type `Mutable` provides equivalent behaviour to
earlier versions of `Component`:
```rust
impl Component for Foo {
type Mutability = Mutable;
// ...
}
```
- When working with generic components, you may need to specify that
your generic parameter implements `Component<Mutability = Mutable>`
rather than `Component` if you require mutable access to said component.
- The entity entry API has had to have some changes made to minimise
friction when working with immutable components. Methods which
previously returned a `Mut<T>` will now typically return an
`OccupiedEntry<T>` instead, requiring you to add an `into_mut()` to get
the `Mut<T>` item again.
## Draft Release Notes
Components can now be made immutable while stored within the ECS.
Components are the fundamental unit of data within an ECS, and Bevy
provides a number of ways to work with them that align with Rust's rules
around ownership and borrowing. One part of this is hooks, which allow
for defining custom behavior at key points in a component's lifecycle,
such as addition and removal. However, there is currently no way to
respond to _mutation_ of a component using hooks. The reasons for this
are quite technical, but to summarize, their addition poses a
significant challenge to Bevy's core promises around performance.
Without mutation hooks, it's relatively trivial to modify a component in
such a way that breaks invariants it intends to uphold. For example, you
can use `core::mem::swap` to swap the components of two entities,
bypassing the insertion and removal hooks.
This means the only way to react to this modification is via change
detection in a system, which then begs the question of what happens
_between_ that alteration and the next run of that system?
Alternatively, you could make your component private to prevent
mutation, but now you need to provide commands and a custom `QueryData`
implementation to allow users to interact with your component at all.
Immutable components solve this problem by preventing the creation of an
exclusive reference to the component entirely. Without an exclusive
reference, the only way to modify an immutable component is via removal
or replacement, which is fully captured by component hooks. To make a
component immutable, simply add `#[component(immutable)]`:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
#[component(immutable)]
struct Foo {
// ...
}
```
When implementing `Component` manually, there is an associated type
`Mutability` which controls this behavior:
```rust
impl Component for Foo {
type Mutability = Mutable;
// ...
}
```
Note that this means when working with generic components, you may need
to specify that a component is mutable to gain access to certain
methods:
```rust
// Before
fn bar<C: Component>() {
// ...
}
// After
fn bar<C: Component<Mutability = Mutable>>() {
// ...
}
```
With this new tool, creating index components, or caching data on an
entity should be more user friendly, allowing libraries to provide APIs
relying on components and hooks to uphold their invariants.
## Notes
- ~~I've done my best to implement this feature, but I'm not happy with
how reflection has turned out. If any reflection SMEs know a way to
improve this situation I'd greatly appreciate it.~~ There is an
outstanding issue around the fallibility of mutable methods on
`ReflectComponent`, but the DX is largely unchanged from `main` now.
- I've attempted to prevent all safe mutable access to a component that
does not implement `Component<Mutability = Mutable>`, but there may
still be some methods I have missed. Please indicate so and I will
address them, as they are bugs.
- Unsafe is an escape hatch I am _not_ attempting to prevent. Whatever
you do with unsafe is between you and your compiler.
- I am marking this PR as ready, but I suspect it will undergo fairly
major revisions based on SME feedback.
- I've marked this PR as _Uncontroversial_ based on the feature, not the
implementation.

# Objective
Make documentation of a component's required components more visible by
moving it to the type's docs
## Solution
Change `#[require]` from a derive macro helper to an attribute macro.
Disadvantages:
- this silences any unused code warnings on the component, as it is used
by the macro!
- need to import `require` if not using the ecs prelude (I have not
included this in the migration guilde as Rust tooling already suggests
the fix)

# Objective
Fixes#15941
## Solution
Created https://crates.io/crates/variadics_please and moved the code
there; updating references
`bevy_utils/macros` is deleted.
## Testing
cargo check
## Migration Guide
Use `variadics_please::{all_tuples, all_tuples_with_size}` instead of
`bevy::utils::{all_tuples, all_tuples_with_size}`.
## Objective
Fixes#1515
This PR implements a flexible entity cloning system. The primary use
case for it is to clone dynamically-generated entities.
Example:
```rs
#[derive(Component, Clone)]
pub struct Projectile;
#[derive(Component, Clone)]
pub struct Damage {
value: f32,
}
fn player_input(
mut commands: Commands,
projectiles: Query<Entity, With<Projectile>>,
input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>,
) {
// Fire a projectile
if input.just_pressed(KeyCode::KeyF) {
commands.spawn((Projectile, Damage { value: 10.0 }));
}
// Triplicate all active projectiles
if input.just_pressed(KeyCode::KeyT) {
for projectile in projectiles.iter() {
// To triplicate a projectile we need to create 2 more clones
for _ in 0..2{
commands.clone_entity(projectile)
}
}
}
}
```
## Solution
### Commands
Add a `clone_entity` command to create a clone of an entity with all
components that can be cloned. Components that can't be cloned will be
ignored.
```rs
commands.clone_entity(entity)
```
If there is a need to configure the cloning process (like set to clone
recursively), there is a second command:
```rs
commands.clone_entity_with(entity, |builder| {
builder.recursive(true)
});
```
Both of these commands return `EntityCommands` of the cloned entity, so
the copy can be modified afterwards.
### Builder
All these commands use `EntityCloneBuilder` internally. If there is a
need to clone an entity using `World` instead, it is also possible:
```rs
let entity = world.spawn(Component).id();
let entity_clone = world.spawn_empty().id();
EntityCloneBuilder::new(&mut world).clone_entity(entity, entity_clone);
```
Builder has methods to `allow` or `deny` certain components during
cloning if required and can be extended by implementing traits on it.
This PR includes two `EntityCloneBuilder` extensions:
`CloneEntityWithObserversExt` to configure adding cloned entity to
observers of the original entity, and `CloneEntityRecursiveExt` to
configure cloning an entity recursively.
### Clone implementations
By default, all components that implement either `Clone` or `Reflect`
will be cloned (with `Clone`-based implementation preferred in case
component implements both).
This can be overriden on a per-component basis:
```rs
impl Component for SomeComponent {
const STORAGE_TYPE: StorageType = StorageType::Table;
fn get_component_clone_handler() -> ComponentCloneHandler {
// Don't clone this component
ComponentCloneHandler::Ignore
}
}
```
### `ComponentCloneHandlers`
Clone implementation specified in `get_component_clone_handler` will get
registered in `ComponentCloneHandlers` (stored in
`bevy_ecs::component::Components`) at component registration time.
The clone handler implementation provided by a component can be
overriden after registration like so:
```rs
let component_id = world.components().component_id::<Component>().unwrap()
world.get_component_clone_handlers_mut()
.set_component_handler(component_id, ComponentCloneHandler::Custom(component_clone_custom))
```
The default clone handler for all components that do not explicitly
define one (or don't derive `Component`) is
`component_clone_via_reflect` if `bevy_reflect` feature is enabled, and
`component_clone_ignore` (noop) otherwise.
Default handler can be overriden using
`ComponentCloneHandlers::set_default_handler`
### Handlers
Component clone handlers can be used to modify component cloning
behavior. The general signature for a handler that can be used in
`ComponentCloneHandler::Custom` is as follows:
```rs
pub fn component_clone_custom(
world: &mut DeferredWorld,
entity_cloner: &EntityCloner,
) {
// implementation
}
```
The `EntityCloner` implementation (used internally by
`EntityCloneBuilder`) assumes that after calling this custom handler,
the `target` entity has the desired version of the component from the
`source` entity.
### Builder handler overrides
Besides component-defined and world-overriden handlers,
`EntityCloneBuilder` also has a way to override handlers locally. It is
mainly used to allow configuration methods like `recursive` and
`add_observers`.
```rs
// From observer clone handler implementation
impl CloneEntityWithObserversExt for EntityCloneBuilder<'_> {
fn add_observers(&mut self, add_observers: bool) -> &mut Self {
if add_observers {
self.override_component_clone_handler::<ObservedBy>(ComponentCloneHandler::Custom(
component_clone_observed_by,
))
} else {
self.remove_component_clone_handler_override::<ObservedBy>()
}
}
}
```
## Testing
Includes some basic functionality tests and doctests.
Performance-wise this feature is the same as calling `clone` followed by
`insert` for every entity component. There is also some inherent
overhead due to every component clone handler having to access component
data through `World`, but this can be reduced without breaking current
public API in a later PR.
# Objective
Combine the `Option<_>` state in `FunctionSystem` into a single `Option`
to provide clarity and save space.
## Solution
Simplifies `FunctionSystem`'s layout by using a single
`Option<FunctionSystemState>` for state that must be initialized before
running, and saves a byte by removing the need to store an enum tag.
Additionally, calling `System::run` on an uninitialized `System` will
now give a more descriptive message prior to verifying the `WorldId`.
## Testing
Ran CI checks locally.
# Objective
In the [*Similar parameters* section of
`Query`](https://dev-docs.bevyengine.org/bevy/ecs/prelude/struct.Query.html#similar-parameters),
the doc link for `Single` actually links to `Query::single`, and
`Option<Single>` just links to `Option`. They should both link to
`Single`!
The first link is broken because there is a reference-style link defined
for `single`, but not for `Single`, and rustdoc treats the link as
case-insensitive for some reason.
## Solution
Fix the links!
## Testing
I built the docs locally with `cargo doc` and tested the links.
# Objective
Fixes#16266
## Solution
Added an `UnregisterSystem` command struct and
`Commands::unregister_system`. Also renamed `World::remove_system` and
`World::remove_system_cached` to `World::unregister_*`
## Testing
It's a fairly simple change, but I tested locally to ensure it actually
works.
