# Objective
Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.
Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.

## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
# Objective
- Fixes#14826
- For context, see #15238
## Solution
Add a `GhostNode` component to `bevy_ui` and update all the relevant
systems to use it to traverse for UI children.
- [x] `ghost_hierarchy` module
- [x] Add `GhostNode`
- [x] Add `UiRootNodes` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI root
nodes
- [x] Add `UiChildren` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI
children
- [x] Update `layout::ui_layout_system`
- [x] Use ghost-aware root nodes for camera updates
- [x] Update and remove children in taffy
- [x] Initial spawn
- [x] Detect changes on nested UI children
- [x] Use ghost-aware children traversal in
`update_uinode_geometry_recursive`
- [x] Update the rest of the UI systems to use the ghost hierarchy
- [x] `stack::ui_stack_system`
- [x] `update::`
- [x] `update_clipping_system`
- [x] `update_target_camera_system`
- [x] `accessibility::calc_name`
## Testing
- [x] Added a new example `ghost_nodes` that can be used as a testbed.
- [x] Added unit tests for _some_ of the traversal utilities in
`ghost_hierarchy`
- [x] Ensure this fulfills the needs for currently known use cases
- [x] Reactivity libraries (test with `bevy_reactor`)
- [ ] Text spans (mentioned by koe [on
discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1285371432460881991/1285377442998915246))

## Performance
[See comment
below](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/15341#issuecomment-2385456820)
## Migration guide
Any code that previously relied on `Parent`/`Children` to iterate UI
children may now want to use `bevy_ui::UiChildren` to ensure ghost nodes
are skipped, and their first descendant Nodes included.
UI root nodes may now be children of ghost nodes, which means
`Without<Parent>` might not query all root nodes. Use
`bevy_ui::UiRootNodes` where needed to iterate root nodes instead.
## Potential future work
- Benchmarking/optimizations of hierarchies containing lots of ghost
nodes
- Further exploration of UI hierarchies and markers for root nodes/leaf
nodes to create better ergonomics for things like `UiLayer` (world-space
ui)
