bevy/crates/bevy_ecs/src/reflect/component.rs

//! Definitions for [`Component`] reflection.
//! This allows inserting, updating, removing and generally interacting with components
//! whose types are only known at runtime.
//!
//! This module exports two types: [`ReflectComponentFns`] and [`ReflectComponent`].
//!
//! # Architecture
//!
//! [`ReflectComponent`] wraps a [`ReflectComponentFns`]. In fact, each method on
//! [`ReflectComponent`] wraps a call to a function pointer field in `ReflectComponentFns`.
//!
//! ## Who creates `ReflectComponent`s?
//!
//! When a user adds the `#[reflect(Component)]` attribute to their `#[derive(Reflect)]`
//! type, it tells the derive macro for `Reflect` to add the following single line to its
//! [`get_type_registration`] method (see the relevant code[^1]).
//!
//! ```
//! # use bevy_reflect::{FromType, Reflect};
//! # use bevy_ecs::prelude::{ReflectComponent, Component};
//! # #[derive(Default, Reflect, Component)]
//! # struct A;
//! # impl A {
//! #   fn foo() {
//! # let mut registration = bevy_reflect::TypeRegistration::of::<A>();
//! registration.insert::<ReflectComponent>(FromType::<Self>::from_type());
//! #   }
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! This line adds a `ReflectComponent` to the registration data for the type in question.
//! The user can access the `ReflectComponent` for type `T` through the type registry,
//! as per the `trait_reflection.rs` example.
//!
//! The `FromType::<Self>::from_type()` in the previous line calls the `FromType<C>`
//! implementation of `ReflectComponent`.
//!
//! The `FromType<C>` impl creates a function per field of [`ReflectComponentFns`].
//! In those functions, we call generic methods on [`World`] and [`EntityWorldMut`].
//!
//! The result is a `ReflectComponent` completely independent of `C`, yet capable
//! of using generic ECS methods such as `entity.get::<C>()` to get `&dyn Reflect`
//! with underlying type `C`, without the `C` appearing in the type signature.
//!
//! ## A note on code generation
//!
//! A downside of this approach is that monomorphized code (ie: concrete code
//! for generics) is generated **unconditionally**, regardless of whether it ends
//! up used or not.
//!
//! Adding `N` fields on `ReflectComponentFns` will generate `N × M` additional
//! functions, where `M` is how many types derive `#[reflect(Component)]`.
//!
//! Those functions will increase the size of the final app binary.
//!
