# Objective
Derived `TypePath` impls have a `const _` block in order to hold a `use
alloc::string::ToString` import. But that import is useless.
Avoiding it helps with https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/19873.
## Solution
Remove the `use` and `const _`.
## Testing
I used cargo expand to confirm the `const _ ` is no longer produced.
`-Zmacro-stats` output tells me this reduces the size of the `Reflect`
code produced for `bevy_ui` from 1_880_486 bytes to 1_859_634 bytes, a
1.1% drop.
# Objective
There is a pattern that appears in multiple places, involving
`reflect_clone`, followed by `take`, followed by `map_err` that produces
a `FailedDowncast` in a particular form.
## Solution
Introduces `reflect_clone_and_take`, which factors out the repeated
code.
## Testing
`cargo run -p ci`

# Objective
All the derived reflection methods currently have multiple trait bounds
on non-generic field types, which serve no purpose. The are emitted
because "emit bounds on all fields" is easier than "emit bounds on
fields that need them". But improving things isn't too hard.
Similarly, lots of useless `Any + Send + Sync` bounds exist on
non-generic types.
Helps a lot with #19873.
## Solution
Remove the unnecessary bounds by only emitting them if the relevant type
is generic.
## Testing
I used `cargo expand` to confirm the unnecessary bounds are no longer
produced.
`-Zmacro-stats` output tells me this reduces the size of the `Reflect`
code produced for `bevy_ui` by 21.2%.
# Objective
The generated `GetTypeRegistration::get_type_registration` method has an
unnecessary `allow(unused_mut)` attribute. It used to be necessary
because it was possible for `registration` to not be modified, but now
there is always at least one modification.
## Solution
Remove the attribute.
## Testing
I checked the `cargo expand` output.
# Objective
Generated `from_reflect` methods use closures in a weird way, e.g.:
```rust
x: (|| {
<f32 as ::bevy::reflect::FromReflect>::from_reflect(
::bevy::reflect::Struct::field(__ref_struct, "x")?,
)
})()?,
```
The reason for this is because when `#[reflect(Default)]` is used, you
instead get stuff like this:
```rust
if let ::core::option::Option::Some(__field) = (|| {
<f32 as ::bevy::reflect::FromReflect>::from_reflect(
::bevy::reflect::Struct::field(__ref_struct, "x")?,
)
})() {
__this.x = __field;
}
```
and the closure is necessary to contain the scope of the `?`. But the
first case is more common.
Helps with #19873.
## Solution
Avoid the closure in the common case.
## Testing
I used cargo expand to confirm the closures are no longer produced in
the common case.
`-Zmacro-stats` output tells me this reduces the size of the `Reflect`
code produced for `bevy_ui` by 0.5%.
# Objective
`WhereClauseOption` contains a reference to a `ReflectMeta`. Oddly
enough, a bunch of functions that take a `WhereClauseOption` argument
also take a `ReflectMeta` reference argument, which is exactly the same
as the reference in the `WhereClauseOption`.
## Solution
This commit removes the redundant `ReflectMeta` argument from these
functions. This requires adding a `WhereClauseOption::meta` getter
method.
## Testing
`cargo run -p ci`
# Objective
Most of the impls derived for `#[derive(Reflect)]` have one set of type
bounds per field, like so:
```
f32: ::bevy::reflect::FromReflect
+ ::bevy::reflect::TypePath
+ ::bevy::reflect::MaybeTyped
+ ::bevy::reflect::__macro_exports::RegisterForReflection,
```
If multiple fields have the same type, the bounds are repeated
uselessly. This can only hurt compile time and clogs up the `cargo
expand` output.
Avoiding this will help with
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/19873.
## Solution
Use a hashset when collecting the bounds to eliminate duplicates.
## Testing
I used cargo expand to confirm the duplicate bounds are no longer
produced.
`-Zmacro-stats` outputs tells me this reduces the size of the `Reflect`
code produced for `bevy_ui` from 1_544_696 bytes to 1_467_967 bytes, a
5% drop.
# Objective
`#[derive(Reflect)]` derives `Typed` impls whose `type_info` methods
contain useless calls to `with_custom_attributes` and `with_docs`, e.g.:
```
::bevy::reflect::NamedField:🆕:<f32>("x")
.with_custom_attributes(
::bevy::reflect::attributes::CustomAttributes::default()
)
.with_docs(::core::option::Option::None),
```
This hurts compile times and makes the `cargo expand` output harder to
read. It might also hurt runtime speed, depending on whether the
compiler can optimize away the no-op methods.
Avoiding this will help with #19873.
## Solution
Check if the attributes/docs are empty before appending the method
calls.
## Testing
I used `cargo expand` to confirm the useless calls are no longer
produced.
`-Zmacro-stats` outputs tells me this reduces the size of the `Reflect`
impls produced for `bevy_ui` from 1_544_696 bytes to 1_511_214 bytes, a
2.2% drop. Only a small improvement, but it's a start.

# Objective
Fixes#18606
When a type implements `Add` for `String`, the compiler can get confused
when attempting to add a `&String` to a `String`.
Unfortunately, this seems to be [expected
behavior](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77143#issuecomment-698369286)
which causes problems for generic types since the current `TypePath`
derive generates code that appends strings in this manner.
## Solution
Explicitly use the `Add<&str>` implementation in the `TypePath` derive
macro.
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo check -p bevy_reflect --tests
```
obtaining a reference to an empty enum is not possible in Rust, so I
just replaced any match on self with an `unreachable!()`
I checked if an enum is empty by checking if the `variant_patterns` vec
of the `EnumVariantOutputData` struct is empty
Fixes#18277
## Testing
I added one new unit test.
``` rust
#[test]
fn should_allow_empty_enums() {
#[derive(Reflect)]
enum Empty {}
assert_impl_all!(Empty: Reflect);
}
```
# Objective
#13432 added proper reflection-based cloning. This is a better method
than cloning via `clone_value` for reasons detailed in the description
of that PR. However, it may not be immediately apparent to users why one
should be used over the other, and what the gotchas of `clone_value`
are.
## Solution
This PR marks `PartialReflect::clone_value` as deprecated, with the
deprecation notice pointing users to `PartialReflect::reflect_clone`.
However, it also suggests using a new method introduced in this PR:
`PartialReflect::to_dynamic`.
`PartialReflect::to_dynamic` is essentially a renaming of
`PartialReflect::clone_value`. By naming it `to_dynamic`, we make it
very obvious that what's returned is a dynamic type. The one caveat to
this is that opaque types still use `reflect_clone` as they have no
corresponding dynamic type.
Along with changing the name, the method is now optional, and comes with
a default implementation that calls out to the respective reflection
subtrait method. This was done because there was really no reason to
require manual implementors provide a method that almost always calls
out to a known set of methods.
Lastly, to make this default implementation work, this PR also did a
similar thing with the `clone_dynamic ` methods on the reflection
subtraits. For example, `Struct::clone_dynamic` has been marked
deprecated and is superseded by `Struct::to_dynamic_struct`. This was
necessary to avoid the "multiple names in scope" issue.
### Open Questions
This PR maintains the original signature of `clone_value` on
`to_dynamic`. That is, it takes `&self` and returns `Box<dyn
PartialReflect>`.
However, in order for this to work, it introduces a panic if the value
is opaque and doesn't override the default `reflect_clone`
implementation.
One thing we could do to avoid the panic would be to make the conversion
fallible, either returning `Option<Box<dyn PartialReflect>>` or
`Result<Box<dyn PartialReflect>, ReflectCloneError>`.
This makes using the method a little more involved (i.e. users have to
either unwrap or handle the rare possibility of an error), but it would
set us up for a world where opaque types don't strictly need to be
`Clone`. Right now this bound is sort of implied by the fact that
`clone_value` is a required trait method, and the default behavior of
the macro is to use `Clone` for opaque types.
Alternatively, we could keep the signature but make the method required.
This maintains that implied bound where manual implementors must provide
some way of cloning the value (or YOLO it and just panic), but also
makes the API simpler to use.
Finally, we could just leave it with the panic. It's unlikely this would
occur in practice since our macro still requires `Clone` for opaque
types, and thus this would only ever be an issue if someone were to
manually implement `PartialReflect` without a valid `to_dynamic` or
`reflect_clone` method.
## Testing
You can test locally using the following command:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --all-features
```
---
## Migration Guide
`PartialReflect::clone_value` is being deprecated. Instead, use
`PartialReflect::to_dynamic` if wanting to create a new dynamic instance
of the reflected value. Alternatively, use
`PartialReflect::reflect_clone` to attempt to create a true clone of the
underlying value.
Similarly, the following methods have been deprecated and should be
replaced with these alternatives:
- `Array::clone_dynamic` → `Array::to_dynamic_array`
- `Enum::clone_dynamic` → `Enum::to_dynamic_enum`
- `List::clone_dynamic` → `List::to_dynamic_list`
- `Map::clone_dynamic` → `Map::to_dynamic_map`
- `Set::clone_dynamic` → `Set::to_dynamic_set`
- `Struct::clone_dynamic` → `Struct::to_dynamic_struct`
- `Tuple::clone_dynamic` → `Tuple::to_dynamic_tuple`
- `TupleStruct::clone_dynamic` → `TupleStruct::to_dynamic_tuple_struct`
# Objective
Using `Reflect::clone_value` can be somewhat confusing to those
unfamiliar with how Bevy's reflection crate works. For example take the
following code:
```rust
let value: usize = 123;
let clone: Box<dyn Reflect> = value.clone_value();
```
What can we expect to be the underlying type of `clone`? If you guessed
`usize`, then you're correct! Let's try another:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, Clone)]
struct Foo(usize);
let value: Foo = Foo(123);
let clone: Box<dyn Reflect> = value.clone_value();
```
What about this code? What is the underlying type of `clone`? If you
guessed `Foo`, unfortunately you'd be wrong. It's actually
`DynamicStruct`.
It's not obvious that the generated `Reflect` impl actually calls
`Struct::clone_dynamic` under the hood, which always returns
`DynamicStruct`.
There are already some efforts to make this a bit more apparent to the
end-user: #7207 changes the signature of `Reflect::clone_value` to
instead return `Box<dyn PartialReflect>`, signaling that we're
potentially returning a dynamic type.
But why _can't_ we return `Foo`?
`Foo` can obviously be cloned— in fact, we already derived `Clone` on
it. But even without the derive, this seems like something `Reflect`
should be able to handle. Almost all types that implement `Reflect`
either contain no data (trivially clonable), they contain a
`#[reflect_value]` type (which, by definition, must implement `Clone`),
or they contain another `Reflect` type (which recursively fall into one
of these three categories).
This PR aims to enable true reflection-based cloning where you get back
exactly the type that you think you do.
## Solution
Add a `Reflect::reflect_clone` method which returns `Result<Box<dyn
Reflect>, ReflectCloneError>`, where the `Box<dyn Reflect>` is
guaranteed to be the same type as `Self`.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo(usize);
let value: Foo = Foo(123);
let clone: Box<dyn Reflect> = value.reflect_clone().unwrap();
assert!(clone.is::<Foo>());
```
Notice that we didn't even need to derive `Clone` for this to work: it's
entirely powered via reflection!
Under the hood, the macro generates something like this:
```rust
fn reflect_clone(&self) -> Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, ReflectCloneError> {
Ok(Box::new(Self {
// The `reflect_clone` impl for `usize` just makes use of its `Clone` impl
0: Reflect::reflect_clone(&self.0)?.take().map_err(/* ... */)?,
}))
}
```
If we did derive `Clone`, we can tell `Reflect` to rely on that instead:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, Clone)]
#[reflect(Clone)]
struct Foo(usize);
```
<details>
<summary>Generated Code</summary>
```rust
fn reflect_clone(&self) -> Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, ReflectCloneError> {
Ok(Box::new(Clone::clone(self)))
}
```
</details>
Or, we can specify our own cloning function:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
#[reflect(Clone(incremental_clone))]
struct Foo(usize);
fn incremental_clone(value: &usize) -> usize {
*value + 1
}
```
<details>
<summary>Generated Code</summary>
```rust
fn reflect_clone(&self) -> Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, ReflectCloneError> {
Ok(Box::new(incremental_clone(self)))
}
```
</details>
Similarly, we can specify how fields should be cloned. This is important
for fields that are `#[reflect(ignore)]`'d as we otherwise have no way
to know how they should be cloned.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
#[reflect(ignore, clone)]
bar: usize,
#[reflect(ignore, clone = "incremental_clone")]
baz: usize,
}
fn incremental_clone(value: &usize) -> usize {
*value + 1
}
```
<details>
<summary>Generated Code</summary>
```rust
fn reflect_clone(&self) -> Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, ReflectCloneError> {
Ok(Box::new(Self {
bar: Clone::clone(&self.bar),
baz: incremental_clone(&self.baz),
}))
}
```
</details>
If we don't supply a `clone` attribute for an ignored field, then the
method will automatically return
`Err(ReflectCloneError::FieldNotClonable {/* ... */})`.
`Err` values "bubble up" to the caller. So if `Foo` contains `Bar` and
the `reflect_clone` method for `Bar` returns `Err`, then the
`reflect_clone` method for `Foo` also returns `Err`.
### Attribute Syntax
You might have noticed the differing syntax between the container
attribute and the field attribute.
This was purely done for consistency with the current attributes. There
are PRs aimed at improving this. #7317 aims at making the
"special-cased" attributes more in line with the field attributes
syntactically. And #9323 aims at moving away from the stringified paths
in favor of just raw function paths.
### Compatibility with Unique Reflect
This PR was designed with Unique Reflect (#7207) in mind. This method
actually wouldn't change that much (if at all) under Unique Reflect. It
would still exist on `Reflect` and it would still `Option<Box<dyn
Reflect>>`. In fact, Unique Reflect would only _improve_ the user's
understanding of what this method returns.
We may consider moving what's currently `Reflect::clone_value` to
`PartialReflect` and possibly renaming it to `partial_reflect_clone` or
`clone_dynamic` to better indicate how it differs from `reflect_clone`.
## Testing
You can test locally by running the following command:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect

## Changelog
- Added `Reflect::reflect_clone` method
- Added `ReflectCloneError` error enum
- Added `#[reflect(Clone)]` container attribute
- Added `#[reflect(clone)]` field attribute
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
- Supersedes #8520
- Fixes#4906
## Solution
- Added a new `web` feature to `bevy`, and several of its crates.
- Enabled new `web` feature automatically within crates without `no_std`
support.
## Testing
- `cargo build --no-default-features --target wasm32v1-none`
---
## Migration Guide
When using Bevy crates which _don't_ automatically enable the `web`
feature, please enable it when building for the browser.
## Notes
- I added [`cfg_if`](https://crates.io/crates/cfg-if) to help manage
some of the feature gate gore that this extra feature introduces. It's
still pretty ugly, but I think much easier to read.
- Certain `wasm` targets (e.g.,
[wasm32-wasip1](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/wasm32-wasip1.html#wasm32-wasip1))
provide an incomplete implementation for `std`. I have not tested these
platforms, but I suspect Bevy's liberal use of usually unsupported
features (e.g., threading) will cause these targets to fail. As such,
consider `wasm32-unknown-unknown` as the only `wasm` platform with
support from Bevy for `std`. All others likely will need to be treated
as `no_std` platforms.
# Objective
- Fixes#17960
## Solution
- Followed the [edition upgrade
guide](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/transitioning-an-existing-project-to-a-new-edition.html)
## Testing
- CI

## Summary of Changes
### Documentation Indentation
When using lists in documentation, proper indentation is now linted for.
This means subsequent lines within the same list item must start at the
same indentation level as the item.
```rust
/* Valid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
/* Invalid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
```
### Implicit `!` to `()` Conversion
`!` (the never return type, returned by `panic!`, etc.) no longer
implicitly converts to `()`. This is particularly painful for systems
with `todo!` or `panic!` statements, as they will no longer be functions
returning `()` (or `Result<()>`), making them invalid systems for
functions like `add_systems`. The ideal fix would be to accept functions
returning `!` (or rather, _not_ returning), but this is blocked on the
[stabilisation of the `!` type
itself](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html), which is
not done.
The "simple" fix would be to add an explicit `-> ()` to system
signatures (e.g., `|| { todo!() }` becomes `|| -> () { todo!() }`).
However, this is _also_ banned, as there is an existing lint which (IMO,
incorrectly) marks this as an unnecessary annotation.
So, the "fix" (read: workaround) is to put these kinds of `|| -> ! { ...
}` closuers into variables and give the variable an explicit type (e.g.,
`fn()`).
```rust
// Valid
let system: fn() = || todo!("Not implemented yet!");
app.add_systems(..., system);
// Invalid
app.add_systems(..., || todo!("Not implemented yet!"));
```
### Temporary Variable Lifetimes
The order in which temporary variables are dropped has changed. The
simple fix here is _usually_ to just assign temporaries to a named
variable before use.
### `gen` is a keyword
We can no longer use the name `gen` as it is reserved for a future
generator syntax. This involved replacing uses of the name `gen` with
`r#gen` (the raw-identifier syntax).
### Formatting has changed
Use statements have had the order of imports changed, causing a
substantial +/-3,000 diff when applied. For now, I have opted-out of
this change by amending `rustfmt.toml`
```toml
style_edition = "2021"
```
This preserves the original formatting for now, reducing the size of
this PR. It would be a simple followup to update this to 2024 and run
`cargo fmt`.
### New `use<>` Opt-Out Syntax
Lifetimes are now implicitly included in RPIT types. There was a handful
of instances where it needed to be added to satisfy the borrow checker,
but there may be more cases where it _should_ be added to avoid
breakages in user code.
### `MyUnitStruct { .. }` is an invalid pattern
Previously, you could match against unit structs (and unit enum
variants) with a `{ .. }` destructuring. This is no longer valid.
### Pretty much every use of `ref` and `mut` are gone
Pattern binding has changed to the point where these terms are largely
unused now. They still serve a purpose, but it is far more niche now.
### `iter::repeat(...).take(...)` is bad
New lint recommends using the more explicit `iter::repeat_n(..., ...)`
instead.
## Migration Guide
The lifetimes of functions using return-position impl-trait (RPIT) are
likely _more_ conservative than they had been previously. If you
encounter lifetime issues with such a function, please create an issue
to investigate the addition of `+ use<...>`.

_actually_ changed.

This pr uses the `extern crate self as` trick to make proc macros behave
the same way inside and outside bevy.
# Objective
- Removes noise introduced by `crate as` in the whole bevy repo.
- Fixes#17004.
- Hardens proc macro path resolution.
## TODO
- [x] `BevyManifest` needs cleanup.
- [x] Cleanup remaining `crate as`.
- [x] Add proper integration tests to the ci.
## Notes
- `cargo-manifest-proc-macros` is written by me and based/inspired by
the old `BevyManifest` implementation and
[`bkchr/proc-macro-crate`](https://github.com/bkchr/proc-macro-crate).
- What do you think about the new integration test machinery I added to
the `ci`?
More and better integration tests can be added at a later stage.
The goal of these integration tests is to simulate an actual separate
crate that uses bevy. Ideally they would lightly touch all bevy crates.
## Testing
- Needs RA test
- Needs testing from other users
- Others need to run at least `cargo run -p ci integration-test` and
verify that they work.

# Objective
- publish script copy the license files to all subcrates, meaning that
all publish are dirty. this breaks git verification of crates
- the order and list of crates to publish is manually maintained,
leading to error. cargo 1.84 is more strict and the list is currently
wrong
## Solution
- duplicate all the licenses to all crates and remove the
`--allow-dirty` flag
- instead of a manual list of crates, get it from `cargo package
--workspace`
- remove the `--no-verify` flag to... verify more things?
# Objective
- Fixes CI failure due to `uuid` 1.13 using the new version of
`getrandom` which requires using a new API to work on Wasm.
## Solution
- Based on [`uuid` 1.13 release
notes](https://github.com/uuid-rs/uuid/releases/tag/1.13.0) I've enabled
the `js` feature on `wasm32`. This will need to be revisited once #17499
is up for review
- Updated minimum `uuid` version to 1.13.1, which fixes a separate issue
with `target_feature = atomics` on `wasm`.
## Testing
- `cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown`

# 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
- Minor consistency improvement in proc macro code.
- Remove `get_path_direct` since it was only used once anyways and
doesn't add much.
## Solution
- Possibly a minor performance improvement since the `Cargo.toml` wont
be parsed as often.
## Testing
- I don't think it breaks anything.
- This is my first time working on bevy itself. Is there a script to do
a quick verify of my pr?
## Other PR
Similar to #7536 but has no extra dependencies.
Co-authored-by: François Mockers <mockersf@gmail.com>
Updating dependencies; adopted version of #15696. (Supercedes #15696.)
Long answer: hashbrown is no longer using ahash by default, meaning that
we can't use the default-hasher methods with ahasher. So, we have to use
the longer-winded versions instead. This takes the opportunity to also
switch our default hasher as well, but without actually enabling the
default-hasher feature for hashbrown, meaning that we'll be able to
change our hasher more easily at the cost of all of these method calls
being obnoxious forever.
One large change from 0.15 is that `insert_unique_unchecked` is now
`unsafe`, and for cases where unsafe code was denied at the crate level,
I replaced it with `insert`.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_utils` has updated its version of `hashbrown` to 0.15 and now
defaults to `foldhash` instead of `ahash`. This means that if you've
hard-coded your hasher to `bevy_utils::AHasher` or separately used the
`ahash` crate in your code, you may need to switch to `foldhash` to
ensure that everything works like it does in Bevy.
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
## Solution
- Added `std` feature (enabled by default)
## Testing
- CI
- `cargo check -p bevy_reflect --no-default-features --target
"x86_64-unknown-none"`
- UEFI demo application runs with this branch of `bevy_reflect`,
allowing `derive(Reflect)`
## Notes
- The [`spin`](https://crates.io/crates/spin) crate has been included to
provide `RwLock` and `Once` (as an alternative to `OnceLock`) when the
`std` feature is not enabled. Another alternative may be more desirable,
please provide feedback if you have a strong opinion here!
- Certain items (`Box`, `String`, `ToString`) provided by `alloc` have
been added to `__macro_exports` as a way to avoid `alloc` vs `std`
namespacing. I'm personally quite annoyed that we can't rely on `alloc`
as a crate name in `std` environments within macros. I'd love an
alternative to my approach here, but I suspect it's the least-bad
option.
- I would've liked to have an `alloc` feature (for allocation-free
`bevy_reflect`), unfortunately, `erased_serde` unconditionally requires
access to `Box`. Maybe one day we could design around this, but for now
it just means `bevy_reflect` requires `alloc`.

# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
# Objective
Another clippy-lint fix: the goal is so that `ci lints` actually
displays the problems that a contributor caused, and not a bunch of
existing stuff in the repo. (when run on nightly)
## Solution
This fixes all but the `clippy::needless_lifetimes` lint, which will
result in substantially more fixes and be in other PR(s). I also
explicitly allow `non_local_definitions` since it is [not working
correctly, but will be
fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131643).
A few things were manually fixed: for example, some places had an
explicitly defined `div_ceil` function that was used, which is no longer
needed since this function is stable on unsigned integers. Also, empty
lines in doc comments were handled individually.
## Testing
I ran `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-staged` with the `clippy::needless_lifetimes` lint marked as
`allow` in `Cargo.toml` to avoid fixing that too. It now passes with all
but the listed lint.
# Objective
Currently, reflecting a generic type provides no information about the
generic parameters. This means that you can't get access to the type of
`T` in `Foo<T>` without creating custom type data (we do this for
[`ReflectHandle`](https://docs.rs/bevy/0.14.2/bevy/asset/struct.ReflectHandle.html#method.asset_type_id)).
## Solution
This PR makes it so that generic type parameters and generic const
parameters are tracked in a `Generics` struct stored on the `TypeInfo`
for a type.
For example, `struct Foo<T, const N: usize>` will store `T` and `N` as a
`TypeParamInfo` and `ConstParamInfo`, respectively.
The stored information includes:
- The name of the generic parameter (i.e. `T`, `N`, etc.)
- The type of the generic parameter (remember that we're dealing with
monomorphized types, so this will actually be a concrete type)
- The default type/value, if any (e.g. `f32` in `T = f32` or `10` in
`const N: usize = 10`)
### Caveats
The only requirement for this to work is that the user does not opt-out
of the automatic `TypePath` derive with `#[reflect(type_path = false)]`.
Doing so prevents the macro code from 100% knowing that the generic type
implements `TypePath`. This in turn means the generated `Typed` impl
can't add generics to the type.
There are two solutions for this—both of which I think we should explore
in a future PR:
1. We could just not use `TypePath`. This would mean that we can't store
the `Type` of the generic, but we can at least store the `TypeId`.
2. We could provide a way to opt out of the automatic `Typed` derive
with a `#[reflect(typed = false)]` attribute. This would allow users to
manually implement `Typed` to add whatever generic information they need
(e.g. skipping a parameter that can't implement `TypePath` while the
rest can).
I originally thought about making `Generics` an enum with `Generic`,
`NonGeneric`, and `Unavailable` variants to signify whether there are
generics, no generics, or generics that cannot be added due to opting
out of `TypePath`. I ultimately decided against this as I think it adds
a bit too much complexity for such an uncommon problem.
Additionally, user's don't necessarily _have_ to know the generics of a
type, so just skipping them should generally be fine for now.
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
---
## Showcase
You can now access generic parameters via `TypeInfo`!
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct MyStruct<T, const N: usize>([T; N]);
let generics = MyStruct::<f32, 10>::type_info().generics();
// Get by index:
let t = generics.get(0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(t.name(), "T");
assert!(t.ty().is::<f32>());
assert!(!t.is_const());
// Or by name:
let n = generics.get_named("N").unwrap();
assert_eq!(n.name(), "N");
assert!(n.ty().is::<usize>());
assert!(n.is_const());
```
You can even access parameter defaults:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct MyStruct<T = String, const N: usize = 10>([T; N]);
let generics = MyStruct::<f32, 5>::type_info().generics();
let GenericInfo::Type(info) = generics.get_named("T").unwrap() else {
panic!("expected a type parameter");
};
let default = info.default().unwrap();
assert!(default.is::<String>());
let GenericInfo::Const(info) = generics.get_named("N").unwrap() else {
panic!("expected a const parameter");
};
let default = info.default().unwrap();
assert_eq!(default.downcast_ref::<usize>().unwrap(), &10);
```
# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
Currently, the term "value" in the context of reflection is a bit
overloaded.
For one, it can be used synonymously with "data" or "variable". An
example sentence would be "this function takes a reflected value".
However, it is also used to refer to reflected types which are
`ReflectKind::Value`. These types are usually either primitives, opaque
types, or types that don't fall into any other `ReflectKind` (or perhaps
could, but don't due to some limitation/difficulty). An example sentence
would be "this function takes a reflected value type".
This makes it difficult to write good documentation or other learning
material without causing some amount of confusion to readers. Ideally,
we'd be able to move away from the `ReflectKind::Value` usage and come
up with a better term.
## Solution
This PR replaces the terminology of "value" with "opaque" across
`bevy_reflect`. This includes in documentation, type names, variant
names, and macros.
The term "opaque" was chosen because that's essentially how the type is
treated within the reflection API. In other words, its internal
structure is hidden. All we can do is work with the type itself.
### Primitives
While primitives are not technically opaque types, I think it's still
clearer to refer to them as "opaque" rather than keep the confusing
"value" terminology.
We could consider adding another concept for primitives (e.g.
`ReflectKind::Primitive`), but I'm not sure that provides a lot of
benefit right now. In most circumstances, they'll be treated just like
an opaque type. They would also likely use the same macro (or two copies
of the same macro but with different names).
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --all-features
```
---
## Migration Guide
The reflection concept of "value type" has been replaced with a clearer
"opaque type". The following renames have been made to account for this:
- `ReflectKind::Value` → `ReflectKind::Opaque`
- `ReflectRef::Value` → `ReflectRef::Opaque`
- `ReflectMut::Value` → `ReflectMut::Opaque`
- `ReflectOwned::Value` → `ReflectOwned::Opaque`
- `TypeInfo::Value` → `TypeInfo::Opaque`
- `ValueInfo` → `OpaqueInfo`
- `impl_reflect_value!` → `impl_reflect_opaque!`
- `impl_from_reflect_value!` → `impl_from_reflect_opaque!`
Additionally, declaring your own opaque types no longer uses
`#[reflect_value]`. This attribute has been replaced by
`#[reflect(opaque)]`:
```rust
// BEFORE
#[derive(Reflect)]
#[reflect_value(Default)]
struct MyOpaqueType(u32);
// AFTER
#[derive(Reflect)]
#[reflect(opaque)]
#[reflect(Default)]
struct MyOpaqueType(u32);
```
Note that the order in which `#[reflect(opaque)]` appears does not
matter.
Currently, Bevy restricts animation clips to animating
`Transform::translation`, `Transform::rotation`, `Transform::scale`, or
`MorphWeights`, which correspond to the properties that glTF can
animate. This is insufficient for many use cases such as animating UI,
as the UI layout systems expect to have exclusive control over UI
elements' `Transform`s and therefore the `Style` properties must be
animated instead.
This commit fixes this, allowing for `AnimationClip`s to animate
arbitrary properties. The `Keyframes` structure has been turned into a
low-level trait that can be implemented to achieve arbitrary animation
behavior. Along with `Keyframes`, this patch adds a higher-level trait,
`AnimatableProperty`, that simplifies the task of animating single
interpolable properties. Built-in `Keyframes` implementations exist for
translation, rotation, scale, and morph weights. For the most part, you
can migrate by simply changing your code from
`Keyframes::Translation(...)` to `TranslationKeyframes(...)`, and
likewise for rotation, scale, and morph weights.
An example `AnimatableProperty` implementation for the font size of a
text section follows:
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;
impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
type Component = Text;
type Property = f32;
fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut
Self::Property> {
Some(&mut component.sections.get_mut(0)?.style.font_size)
}
}
In order to keep this patch relatively small, this patch doesn't include
an implementation of `AnimatableProperty` on top of the reflection
system. That can be a follow-up.
This patch builds on top of the new `EntityMutExcept<>` type in order to
widen the `AnimationTarget` query to include write access to all
components. Because `EntityMutExcept<>` has some performance overhead
over an explicit query, we continue to explicitly query `Transform` in
order to avoid regressing the performance of skeletal animation, such as
the `many_foxes` benchmark. I've measured the performance of that
benchmark and have found no significant regressions.
A new example, `animated_ui`, has been added. This example shows how to
use Bevy's built-in animation infrastructure to animate font size and
color, which wasn't possible before this patch.

## Migration Guide
* Animation keyframes are now an extensible trait, not an enum. Replace
`Keyframes::Translation(...)`, `Keyframes::Scale(...)`,
`Keyframes::Rotation(...)`, and `Keyframes::Weights(...)` with
`Box::new(TranslationKeyframes(...))`, `Box::new(ScaleKeyframes(...))`,
`Box::new(RotationKeyframes(...))`, and
`Box::new(MorphWeightsKeyframes(...))` respectively.

# Objective
Fixes#14782
## Solution
Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?
Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.
# Objective
The goal with this PR is to allow the use of types that don't implement
`Reflect` within the reflection API.
Rust's [orphan
rule](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-02-traits.html#implementing-a-trait-on-a-type)
prevents implementing a trait on an external type when neither type nor
trait are owned by the implementor. This means that if a crate,
`cool_rust_lib`, defines a type, `Foo`, then a user cannot use it with
reflection. What this means is that we have to ignore it most of the
time:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct SomeStruct {
#[reflect(ignore)]
data: cool_rust_lib::Foo
}
```
Obviously, it's impossible to implement `Reflect` on `Foo`. But does it
*have* to be?
Most of reflection doesn't deal with concrete types— it's almost all
using `dyn Reflect`. And being very metadata-driven, it should
theoretically be possible. I mean,
[`serde`](https://serde.rs/remote-derive.html) does it.
## Solution
> Special thanks to @danielhenrymantilla for their help reviewing this
PR and offering wisdom wrt safety.
Taking a page out of `serde`'s book, this PR adds the ability to easily
use "remote types" with reflection. In this context, a "remote type" is
the external type for which we have no ability to implement `Reflect`.
This adds the `#[reflect_remote(...)]` attribute macro, which is used to
generate "remote type wrappers". All you have to do is define the
wrapper exactly the same as the remote type's definition:
```rust
// Pretend this is our external crate
mod cool_rust_lib {
#[derive(Default)]
struct Foo {
pub value: String
}
}
#[reflect_remote(cool_rust_lib::Foo)]
struct FooWrapper {
pub value: String
}
```
> **Note:** All fields in the external type *must* be public. This could
be addressed with a separate getter/setter attribute either in this PR
or in another one.
The macro takes this user-defined item and transforms it into a newtype
wrapper around the external type, marking it as `#[repr(transparent)]`.
The fields/variants defined by the user are simply used to build out the
reflection impls.
Additionally, it generates an implementation of the new trait,
`ReflectRemote`, which helps prevent accidental misuses of this API.
Therefore, the output generated by the macro would look something like:
```rust
#[repr(transparent)]
struct FooWrapper(pub cool_rust_lib::Foo);
impl ReflectRemote for FooWrapper {
type Remote = cool_rust_lib::Foo;
// transmutation methods...
}
// reflection impls...
// these will acknowledge and make use of the `value` field
```
Internally, the reflection API will pass around the `FooWrapper` and
[transmute](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.transmute.html) it
where necessary. All we have to do is then tell `Reflect` to do that. So
rather than ignoring the field, we tell `Reflect` to use our wrapper
using the `#[reflect(remote = ...)]` field attribute:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct SomeStruct {
#[reflect(remote = FooWrapper)]
data: cool_rust_lib::Foo
}
```
#### Other Macros & Type Data
Because this macro consumes the defined item and generates a new one, we
can't just put our macros anywhere. All macros that should be passed to
the generated struct need to come *below* this macro. For example, to
derive `Default` and register its associated type data:
```rust
// ✅ GOOD
#[reflect_remote(cool_rust_lib::Foo)]
#[derive(Default)]
#[reflect(Default)]
struct FooWrapper {
pub value: String
}
// ❌ BAD
#[derive(Default)]
#[reflect_remote(cool_rust_lib::Foo)]
#[reflect(Default)]
struct FooWrapper {
pub value: String
}
```
#### Generics
Generics are forwarded to the generated struct as well. They should also
be defined in the same order:
```rust
#[reflect_remote(RemoteGeneric<'a, T1, T2>)]
struct GenericWrapper<'a, T1, T2> {
pub foo: &'a T1,
pub bar: &'a T2,
}
```
> Naming does *not* need to match the original definition's. Only order
matters here.
> Also note that the code above is just a demonstration and doesn't
actually compile since we'd need to enforce certain bounds (e.g. `T1:
Reflect`, `'a: 'static`, etc.)
#### Nesting
And, yes, you can nest remote types:
```rust
#[reflect_remote(RemoteOuter)]
struct OuterWrapper {
#[reflect(remote = InnerWrapper)]
pub inner: RemoteInner
}
#[reflect_remote(RemoteInner)]
struct InnerWrapper(usize);
```
#### Assertions
This macro will also generate some compile-time assertions to ensure
that the correct types are used. It's important we catch this early so
users don't have to wait for something to panic. And it also helps keep
our `unsafe` a little safer.
For example, a wrapper definition that does not match its corresponding
remote type will result in an error:
```rust
mod external_crate {
pub struct TheirStruct(pub u32);
}
#[reflect_remote(external_crate::TheirStruct)]
struct MyStruct(pub String); // ERROR: expected type `u32` but found `String`
```
<details>
<summary>Generated Assertion</summary>
```rust
const _: () = {
#[allow(non_snake_case)]
#[allow(unused_variables)]
#[allow(unused_assignments)]
#[allow(unreachable_patterns)]
#[allow(clippy::multiple_bound_locations)]
fn assert_wrapper_definition_matches_remote_type(
mut __remote__: external_crate::TheirStruct,
) {
__remote__.0 = (|| -> ::core::option::Option<String> { None })().unwrap();
}
};
```
</details>
Additionally, using the incorrect type in a `#[reflect(remote = ...)]`
attribute should result in an error:
```rust
mod external_crate {
pub struct TheirFoo(pub u32);
pub struct TheirBar(pub i32);
}
#[reflect_remote(external_crate::TheirFoo)]
struct MyFoo(pub u32);
#[reflect_remote(external_crate::TheirBar)]
struct MyBar(pub i32);
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct MyStruct {
#[reflect(remote = MyBar)] // ERROR: expected type `TheirFoo` but found struct `TheirBar`
foo: external_crate::TheirFoo
}
```
<details>
<summary>Generated Assertion</summary>
```rust
const _: () = {
struct RemoteFieldAssertions;
impl RemoteFieldAssertions {
#[allow(non_snake_case)]
#[allow(clippy::multiple_bound_locations)]
fn assert__foo__is_valid_remote() {
let _: <MyBar as bevy_reflect::ReflectRemote>::Remote = (|| -> ::core::option::Option<external_crate::TheirFoo> {
None
})().unwrap();
}
}
};
```
</details>
### Discussion
There are a couple points that I think still need discussion or
validation.
- [x] 1. `Any` shenanigans
~~If we wanted to downcast our remote type from a `dyn Reflect`, we'd
have to first downcast to the wrapper then extract the inner type. This
PR has a [commit](b840db9f74cb6d357f951cb11b150d46bac89ee2) that
addresses this by making all the `Reflect::*any` methods return the
inner type rather than the wrapper type. This allows us to downcast
directly to our remote type.~~
~~However, I'm not sure if this is something we want to do. For
unknowing users, it could be confusing and seemingly inconsistent. Is it
worth keeping? Or should this behavior be removed?~~
I think this should be fine. The remote wrapper is an implementation
detail and users should not need to downcast to the wrapper type. Feel
free to let me know if there are other opinions on this though!
- [x] 2. Implementing `Deref/DerefMut` and `From`
~~We don't currently do this, but should we implement other traits on
the generated transparent struct? We could implement `Deref`/`DerefMut`
to easily access the inner type. And we could implement `From` for
easier conversion between the two types (e.g. `T: Into<Foo>`).~~ As
mentioned in the comments, we probably don't need to do this. Again, the
remote wrapper is an implementation detail, and should generally not be
used directly.
- [x] 3. ~~Should we define a getter/setter field attribute in this PR
as well or leave it for a future one?~~ I think this should be saved for
a future PR
- [ ] 4. Any foreseeable issues with this implementation?
#### Alternatives
One alternative to defining our own `ReflectRemote` would be to use
[bytemuck's
`TransparentWrapper`](https://docs.rs/bytemuck/1.13.1/bytemuck/trait.TransparentWrapper.html)
(as suggested by @danielhenrymantilla).
This is definitely a viable option, as `ReflectRemote` is pretty much
the same thing as `TransparentWrapper`. However, the cost would be
bringing in a new crate— though, it is already in use in a few other
sub-crates like bevy_render.
I think we're okay just defining `ReflectRemote` ourselves, but we can
go the bytemuck route if we'd prefer offloading that work to another
crate.
---
## Changelog
* Added the `#[reflect_remote(...)]` attribute macro to allow `Reflect`
to be used on remote types
* Added `ReflectRemote` trait for ensuring proper remote wrapper usage
# Objective
- Implements the [Unique Reflect
RFC](https://github.com/nicopap/rfcs/blob/bevy-reflect-api/rfcs/56-better-reflect.md).
## Solution
- Implements the RFC.
- This implementation differs in some ways from the RFC:
- In the RFC, it was suggested `Reflect: Any` but `PartialReflect:
?Any`. During initial implementation I tried this, but we assume the
`PartialReflect: 'static` in a lot of places and the changes required
crept out of the scope of this PR.
- `PartialReflect::try_into_reflect` originally returned `Option<Box<dyn
Reflect>>` but i changed this to `Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, Box<dyn
PartialReflect>>` since the method takes by value and otherwise there
would be no way to recover the type. `as_full` and `as_full_mut` both
still return `Option<&(mut) dyn Reflect>`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `PartialReflect`.
- `Reflect` is now a subtrait of `PartialReflect`.
- Moved most methods on `Reflect` to the new `PartialReflect`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect}`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}`.
- Added `<dyn PartialReflect>::{try_downcast_ref, try_downcast_mut,
try_downcast, try_take}` supplementing the methods on `dyn Reflect`.
## Migration Guide
- Most instances of `dyn Reflect` should be changed to `dyn
PartialReflect` which is less restrictive, however trait bounds should
generally stay as `T: Reflect`.
- The new `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect, try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}` methods as well as `Reflect::{as_reflect,
as_reflect_mut, into_reflect}` will need to be implemented for manual
implementors of `Reflect`.
## Future Work
- This PR is designed to be followed up by another "Unique Reflect Phase
2" that addresses the following points:
- Investigate making serialization revolve around `Reflect` instead of
`PartialReflect`.
- [Remove the `try_*` methods on `dyn PartialReflect` since they are
stop
gaps](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7207#discussion_r1083476050).
- Investigate usages like `ReflectComponent`. In the places they
currently use `PartialReflect`, should they be changed to use `Reflect`?
- Merging this opens the door to lots of reflection features we haven't
been able to implement.
- We could re-add [the `Reflectable`
trait](8e3488c880/crates/bevy_reflect/src/reflect.rs (L337-L342))
and make `FromReflect` a requirement to improve [`FromReflect`
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/59). This is
currently not possible because dynamic types cannot sensibly be
`FromReflect`.
- Since this is an alternative to #5772, #5781 would be made cleaner.

# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.

## Changelog
- The source code viewer on docs.rs now includes links to the
definitions.
# Objective
Many functions can be converted to `DynamicFunction` using
`IntoFunction`. Unfortunately, we are limited by Rust itself and the
implementations are far from exhaustive. For example, we can't convert
functions with more than 16 arguments. Additionally, we can't handle
returns with lifetimes not tied to the lifetime of the first argument.
In such cases, users will have to create their `DynamicFunction`
manually.
Let's take the following function:
```rust
fn get(index: usize, list: &Vec<String>) -> &String {
&list[index]
}
```
This function cannot be converted to a `DynamicFunction` via
`IntoFunction` due to the lifetime of the return value being tied to the
second argument. Therefore, we need to construct the `DynamicFunction`
manually:
```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
|mut args, info| {
let list = args
.pop()
.unwrap()
.take_ref::<Vec<String>>(&info.args()[1])?;
let index = args.pop().unwrap().take_owned::<usize>(&info.args()[0])?;
Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
},
FunctionInfo::new()
.with_name("get")
.with_args(vec![
ArgInfo:🆕:<usize>(0).with_name("index"),
ArgInfo:🆕:<&Vec<String>>(1).with_name("list"),
])
.with_return_info(ReturnInfo:🆕:<&String>()),
);
```
While still a small and straightforward snippet, there's a decent amount
going on here. There's a lot of room for improvements when it comes to
ergonomics and readability.
The goal of this PR is to address those issues.
## Solution
Improve the ergonomics and readability of manually created
`DynamicFunction`s.
Some of the major changes:
1. Removed the need for `&ArgInfo` when reifying arguments (i.e. the
`&info.args()[1]` calls)
2. Added additional `pop` methods on `ArgList` to handle both popping
and casting
3. Added `take` methods on `ArgList` for taking the arguments out in
order
4. Removed the need for `&FunctionInfo` in the internal closure (Change
1 made it no longer necessary)
5. Added methods to automatically handle generating `ArgInfo` and
`ReturnInfo`
With all these changes in place, we get something a lot nicer to both
write and look at:
```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
|mut args| {
let index = args.take::<usize>()?;
let list = args.take::<&Vec<String>>()?;
Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
},
FunctionInfo::new()
.with_name("get")
.with_arg::<usize>("index")
.with_arg::<&Vec<String>>("list")
.with_return::<&String>(),
);
```
Alternatively, to rely on type inference for taking arguments, you could
do:
```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
|mut args| {
let index = args.take_owned()?;
let list = args.take_ref()?;
Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
},
FunctionInfo::new()
.with_name("get")
.with_arg::<usize>("index")
.with_arg::<&Vec<String>>("list")
.with_return::<&String>(),
);
```

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
* The `FromArg::from_arg` trait method and the `Arg::take_***` methods
no longer take a `&ArgInfo` argument.
* What used to be `Arg` is now `ArgValue`. `Arg` is now a struct which
contains an `ArgValue`.
* `Arg::take_***` methods now require `T` is also `TypePath`
* Instances of `id: ArgId` in `ArgError` have been replaced with `index:
usize`
* `ArgList::push` is now `ArgList::push_arg`. It also takes the new
`ArgValue` type.
* `ArgList::pop` has become `ArgList::pop_arg` and now returns
`ArgValue`. `Arg::pop` now takes a generic type and downcasts to that
type. It's recommended to use `ArgList::take` and friends instead since
they allow removing the arguments from the list in the order they were
pushed (rather than reverse order).
* `FunctionError::InvalidArgCount` is now
`FunctionError::ArgCountMismatch`
* The closure given to `DynamicFunction::new` no longer has a
`&FunctionInfo` argument. This argument can be removed.
# Objective
As mentioned in
[this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13152#issuecomment-2198387297)
comment, creating a function registry (see #14098) is a bit difficult
due to the requirements of `DynamicFunction`. Internally, a
`DynamicFunction` contains a `Box<dyn FnMut>` (the function that reifies
reflected arguments and calls the actual function), which requires `&mut
self` in order to be called.
This means that users would require a mutable reference to the function
registry for it to be useful— which isn't great. And they can't clone
the `DynamicFunction` either because cloning an `FnMut` isn't really
feasible (wrapping it in an `Arc` would allow it to be cloned but we
wouldn't be able to call the clone since we need a mutable reference to
the `FnMut`, which we can't get with multiple `Arc`s still alive,
requiring us to also slap in a `Mutex`, which adds additional overhead).
And we don't want to just replace the `dyn FnMut` with `dyn Fn` as that
would prevent reflecting closures that mutate their environment.
Instead, we need to introduce a new type to split the requirements of
`DynamicFunction`.
## Solution
Introduce new types for representing closures.
Specifically, this PR introduces `DynamicClosure` and
`DynamicClosureMut`. Similar to how `IntoFunction` exists for
`DynamicFunction`, two new traits were introduced: `IntoClosure` and
`IntoClosureMut`.
Now `DynamicFunction` stores a `dyn Fn` with a `'static` lifetime.
`DynamicClosure` also uses a `dyn Fn` but has a lifetime, `'env`, tied
to its environment. `DynamicClosureMut` is most like the old
`DynamicFunction`, keeping the `dyn FnMut` and also typing its lifetime,
`'env`, to the environment
Here are some comparison tables:
| | `DynamicFunction` | `DynamicClosure` | `DynamicClosureMut` |
| - | ----------------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Callable with `&self` | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Callable with `&mut self` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Allows for non-`'static` lifetimes | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| | `IntoFunction` | `IntoClosure` | `IntoClosureMut` |
| - | -------------- | ------------- | ---------------- |
| Convert `fn` functions | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert `fn` methods | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert anonymous functions | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert closures that capture immutable references | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert closures that capture mutable references | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Convert closures that capture owned values | ❌[^1] | ✅ | ✅ |
[^1]: Due to limitations in Rust, `IntoFunction` can't be implemented
for just functions (unless we forced users to manually coerce them to
function pointers first). So closures that meet the trait requirements
_can technically_ be converted into a `DynamicFunction` as well. To both
future-proof and reduce confusion, though, we'll just pretend like this
isn't a thing.
```rust
let mut list: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
// `replace` is a closure that captures a mutable reference to `list`
let mut replace = |index: usize, value: i32| -> i32 {
let old_value = list[index];
list[index] = value;
old_value
};
// Convert the closure into a dynamic closure using `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut`
let mut func: DynamicClosureMut = replace.into_closure_mut();
// Dynamically call the closure:
let args = ArgList::default().push_owned(1_usize).push_owned(-2_i32);
let value = func.call_once(args).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
// Check the result:
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 2);
assert_eq!(list, vec![1, -2, 3]);
```
### `ReflectFn`/`ReflectFnMut`
To make extending the function reflection system easier (the blanket
impls for `IntoFunction`, `IntoClosure`, and `IntoClosureMut` are all
incredibly short), this PR generalizes callables with two new traits:
`ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`.
These traits mimic `Fn` and `FnMut` but allow for being called via
reflection. In fact, their blanket implementations are identical save
for `ReflectFn` being implemented over `Fn` types and `ReflectFnMut`
being implemented over `FnMut` types.
And just as `Fn` is a subtrait of `FnMut`, `ReflectFn` is a subtrait of
`ReflectFnMut`. So anywhere that expects a `ReflectFnMut` can also be
given a `ReflectFn`.
To reiterate, these traits aren't 100% necessary. They were added in
purely for extensibility. If we decide to split things up differently or
add new traits/types in the future, then those changes should be much
simpler to implement.
### `TypedFunction`
Because of the split into `ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`, we needed a
new way to access the function type information. This PR moves that
concept over into `TypedFunction`.
Much like `Typed`, this provides a way to access a function's
`FunctionInfo`.
By splitting this trait out, it helps to ensure the other traits are
focused on a single responsibility.
### Internal Macros
The original function PR (#13152) implemented `IntoFunction` using a
macro which was passed into an `all_tuples!` macro invocation. Because
we needed the same functionality for these new traits, this PR has
copy+pasted that code for `ReflectFn`, `ReflectFnMut`, and
`TypedFunction`— albeit with some differences between them.
Originally, I was going to try and macro-ify the impls and where clauses
such that we wouldn't have to straight up duplicate a lot of this logic.
However, aside from being more complex in general, autocomplete just
does not play nice with such heavily nested macros (tried in both
RustRover and VSCode). And both of those problems told me that it just
wasn't worth it: we need to ensure the crate is easily maintainable,
even at the cost of duplicating code.
So instead, I made sure to simplify the macro code by removing all
fully-qualified syntax and cutting the where clauses down to the bare
essentials, which helps to clean up a lot of the visual noise. I also
tried my best to document the macro logic in certain areas (I may even
add a bit more) to help with maintainability for future devs.
### Documentation
Documentation for this module was a bit difficult for me. So many of
these traits and types are very interconnected. And each trait/type has
subtle differences that make documenting it in a single place, like at
the module level, difficult to do cleanly. Describing the valid
signatures is also challenging to do well.
Hopefully what I have here is okay. I think I did an okay job, but let
me know if there any thoughts on ways to improve it. We can also move
such a task to a followup PR for more focused discussion.

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
### `IntoClosure`
`IntoFunction` now only works for standard Rust functions. Calling
`IntoFunction::into_function` on a closure that captures references to
its environment (either mutable or immutable), will no longer compile.
Instead, you will need to use either `IntoClosure::into_closure` to
create a `DynamicClosure` or `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut` to
create a `DynamicClosureMut`, depending on your needs:
```rust
let punct = String::from("!");
let print = |value: String| {
println!("{value}{punct}");
};
// BEFORE
let func: DynamicFunction = print.into_function();
// AFTER
let func: DynamicClosure = print.into_closure();
```
### `IntoFunction` lifetime
Additionally, `IntoFunction` no longer takes a lifetime parameter as it
always expects a `'static` lifetime. Usages will need to remove any
lifetime parameters:
```rust
// BEFORE
fn execute<'env, F: IntoFunction<'env, Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */}
// AFTER
fn execute<F: IntoFunction<Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */}
```
### `IntoReturn`
`IntoReturn::into_return` now has a where clause. Any manual
implementors will need to add this where clause to their implementation.
# Objective
Right now, `TypeInfo` can be accessed directly from a type using either
`Typed::type_info` or `Reflect::get_represented_type_info`.
However, once that `TypeInfo` is accessed, any nested types must be
accessed via the `TypeRegistry`.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
bar: usize
}
let registry = TypeRegistry::default();
let TypeInfo::Struct(type_info) = Foo::type_info() else {
panic!("expected struct info");
};
let field = type_info.field("bar").unwrap();
let field_info = registry.get_type_info(field.type_id()).unwrap();
assert!(field_info.is::<usize>());;
```
## Solution
Enable nested types within a `TypeInfo` to be retrieved directly.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
bar: usize
}
let TypeInfo::Struct(type_info) = Foo::type_info() else {
panic!("expected struct info");
};
let field = type_info.field("bar").unwrap();
let field_info = field.type_info().unwrap();
assert!(field_info.is::<usize>());;
```
The particular implementation was chosen for two reasons.
Firstly, we can't just store `TypeInfo` inside another `TypeInfo`
directly. This is because some types are recursive and would result in a
deadlock when trying to create the `TypeInfo` (i.e. it has to create the
`TypeInfo` before it can use it, but it also needs the `TypeInfo` before
it can create it). Therefore, we must instead store the function so it
can be retrieved lazily.
I had considered also using a `OnceLock` or something to lazily cache
the info, but I figured we can look into optimizations later. The API
should remain the same with or without the `OnceLock`.
Secondly, a new wrapper trait had to be introduced: `MaybeTyped`. Like
`RegisterForReflection`, this trait is `#[doc(hidden)]` and only exists
so that we can properly handle dynamic type fields without requiring
them to implement `Typed`. We don't want dynamic types to implement
`Typed` due to the fact that it would make the return type
`Option<&'static TypeInfo>` for all types even though only the dynamic
types ever need to return `None` (see #6971 for details).
Users should never have to interact with this trait as it has a blanket
impl for all `Typed` types. And `Typed` is automatically implemented
when deriving `Reflect` (as it is required).
The one downside is we do need to return `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`
from all these new methods so that we can handle the dynamic cases. If
we didn't have to, we'd be able to get rid of the `Option` entirely. But
I think that's an okay tradeoff for this one part of the API, and keeps
the other APIs intact.
## Testing

## Changelog
### Public Changes
- Added `ArrayInfo::item_info` method
- Added `NamedField::type_info` method
- Added `UnnamedField::type_info` method
- Added `ListInfo::item_info` method
- Added `MapInfo::key_info` method
- Added `MapInfo::value_info` method
- All active fields now have a `Typed` bound (remember that this is
automatically satisfied for all types that derive `Reflect`)
### Internal Changes
- Added `MaybeTyped` trait
## Migration Guide
All active fields for reflected types (including lists, maps, tuples,
etc.), must implement `Typed`. For the majority of users this won't have
any visible impact.
However, users implementing `Reflect` manually may need to update their
types to implement `Typed` if they weren't already.
Additionally, custom dynamic types will need to implement the new hidden
`MaybeTyped` trait.
# Objective
Function reflection requires a lot of macro code generation in the form
of several `all_tuples!` invocations, as well as impls generated in the
`Reflect` derive macro.
Seeing as function reflection is currently a bit more niche, it makes
sense to gate it all behind a feature.
## Solution
Add a `functions` feature to `bevy_reflect`, which can be enabled in
Bevy using the `reflect_functions` feature.
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
That should ensure that everything still works with the feature
disabled.
To test with the feature on, you can run:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --features functions
```

## Changelog
- Moved function reflection behind a Cargo feature
(`bevy/reflect_functions` and `bevy_reflect/functions`)
- Add `IntoFunction` export in `bevy_reflect::prelude`
## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this

Function reflection is now gated behind a feature. To use function
reflection, enable the feature:
- If using `bevy_reflect` directly, enable the `functions` feature
- If using `bevy`, enable the `reflect_functions` feature

# Objective
We're able to reflect types sooooooo... why not functions?
The goal of this PR is to make functions callable within a dynamic
context, where type information is not readily available at compile
time.
For example, if we have a function:
```rust
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
left + right
}
```
And two `Reflect` values we've already validated are `i32` types:
```rust
let left: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32);
let right: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32);
```
We should be able to call `add` with these values:
```rust
// ?????
let result: Box<dyn Reflect> = add.call_dynamic(left, right);
```
And ideally this wouldn't just work for functions, but methods and
closures too!
Right now, users have two options:
1. Manually parse the reflected data and call the function themselves
2. Rely on registered type data to handle the conversions for them
For a small function like `add`, this isn't too bad. But what about for
more complex functions? What about for many functions?
At worst, this process is error-prone. At best, it's simply tedious.
And this is assuming we know the function at compile time. What if we
want to accept a function dynamically and call it with our own
arguments?
It would be much nicer if `bevy_reflect` could alleviate some of the
problems here.
## Solution
Added function reflection!
This adds a `DynamicFunction` type to wrap a function dynamically. This
can be called with an `ArgList`, which is a dynamic list of
`Reflect`-containing `Arg` arguments. It returns a `FunctionResult`
which indicates whether or not the function call succeeded, returning a
`Reflect`-containing `Return` type if it did succeed.
Many functions can be converted into this `DynamicFunction` type thanks
to the `IntoFunction` trait.
Taking our previous `add` example, this might look something like
(explicit types added for readability):
```rust
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
left + right
}
let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function();
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32);
let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap();
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4);
```
And it also works on closures:
```rust
let add = |left: i32, right: i32| left + right;
let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function();
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32);
let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap();
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4);
```
As well as methods:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo(i32);
impl Foo {
fn add(&mut self, value: i32) {
self.0 += value;
}
}
let mut foo = Foo(2);
let mut function: DynamicFunction = Foo::add.into_function();
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_mut(&mut foo).push_owned(2_i32);
function.call(args).unwrap();
assert_eq!(foo.0, 4);
```
### Limitations
While this does cover many functions, it is far from a perfect system
and has quite a few limitations. Here are a few of the limitations when
using `IntoFunction`:
1. The lifetime of the return value is only tied to the lifetime of the
first argument (useful for methods). This means you can't have a
function like `(a: i32, b: &i32) -> &i32` without creating the
`DynamicFunction` manually.
2. Only 15 arguments are currently supported. If the first argument is a
(mutable) reference, this number increases to 16.
3. Manual implementations of `Reflect` will need to implement the new
`FromArg`, `GetOwnership`, and `IntoReturn` traits in order to be used
as arguments/return types.
And some limitations of `DynamicFunction` itself:
1. All arguments share the same lifetime, or rather, they will shrink to
the shortest lifetime.
2. Closures that capture their environment may need to have their
`DynamicFunction` dropped before accessing those variables again (there
is a `DynamicFunction::call_once` to make this a bit easier)
3. All arguments and return types must implement `Reflect`. While not a
big surprise coming from `bevy_reflect`, this implementation could
actually still work by swapping `Reflect` out with `Any`. Of course,
that makes working with the arguments and return values a bit harder.
4. Generic functions are not supported (unless they have been manually
monomorphized)
And general, reflection gotchas:
1. `&str` does not implement `Reflect`. Rather, `&'static str`
implements `Reflect` (the same is true for `&Path` and similar types).
This means that `&'static str` is considered an "owned" value for the
sake of generating arguments. Additionally, arguments and return types
containing `&str` will assume it's `&'static str`, which is almost never
the desired behavior. In these cases, the only solution (I believe) is
to use `&String` instead.
### Followup Work
This PR is the first of two PRs I intend to work on. The second PR will
aim to integrate this new function reflection system into the existing
reflection traits and `TypeInfo`. The goal would be to register and call
a reflected type's methods dynamically.
I chose not to do that in this PR since the diff is already quite large.
I also want the discussion for both PRs to be focused on their own
implementation.
Another followup I'd like to do is investigate allowing common container
types as a return type, such as `Option<&[mut] T>` and `Result<&[mut] T,
E>`. This would allow even more functions to opt into this system. I
chose to not include it in this one, though, for the same reasoning as
previously mentioned.
### Alternatives
One alternative I had considered was adding a macro to convert any
function into a reflection-based counterpart. The idea would be that a
struct that wraps the function would be created and users could specify
which arguments and return values should be `Reflect`. It could then be
called via a new `Function` trait.
I think that could still work, but it will be a fair bit more involved,
requiring some slightly more complex parsing. And it of course is a bit
more work for the user, since they need to create the type via macro
invocation.
It also makes registering these functions onto a type a bit more
complicated (depending on how it's implemented).
For now, I think this is a fairly simple, yet powerful solution that
provides the least amount of friction for users.

## Showcase
Bevy now adds support for storing and calling functions dynamically
using reflection!
```rust
// 1. Take a standard Rust function
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
left + right
}
// 2. Convert it into a type-erased `DynamicFunction` using the `IntoFunction` trait
let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function();
// 3. Define your arguments from reflected values
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32);
// 4. Call the function with your arguments
let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap();
// 5. Extract the return value
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4);
```

# Objective
The `enum_utility` module contains the `get_variant_constructors`
function, which is used to generate token streams for constructing
enums. It's used for the `FromReflect::from_reflect` implementation and
the `Reflect::try_apply` implementation.
Due to the complexity of enums, this function is understandably a little
messy and difficult to extend.
## Solution
Clean up the `enum_utility` module.
Now "clean" is a bit subjective. I believe my solution is "cleaner" in
that the logic to generate the tokens are strictly coupled with the
intended usage. Because of this, `try_apply` is also no longer strictly
coupled with `from_reflect`.
This makes it easier to extend with new functionality, which is
something I'm doing in a future unrelated PR that I have based off this
one.
## Testing
There shouldn't be any testing required other than ensuring that the
project still builds and that CI passes.
