			# Objective A common pattern in Rust is the [newtype](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/generics/new_types.html). This is an especially useful pattern in Bevy as it allows us to give common/foreign types different semantics (such as allowing it to implement `Component` or `FromWorld`) or to simply treat them as a "new type" (clever). For example, it allows us to wrap a common `Vec<String>` and do things like: ```rust #[derive(Component)] struct Items(Vec<String>); fn give_sword(query: Query<&mut Items>) { query.single_mut().0.push(String::from("Flaming Poisoning Raging Sword of Doom")); } ``` > We could then define another struct that wraps `Vec<String>` without anything clashing in the query. However, one of the worst parts of this pattern is the ugly `.0` we have to write in order to access the type we actually care about. This is why people often implement `Deref` and `DerefMut` in order to get around this. Since it's such a common pattern, especially for Bevy, it makes sense to add a derive macro to automatically add those implementations. ## Solution Added a derive macro for `Deref` and another for `DerefMut` (both exported into the prelude). This works on all structs (including tuple structs) as long as they only contain a single field: ```rust #[derive(Deref)] struct Foo(String); #[derive(Deref, DerefMut)] struct Bar { name: String, } ``` This allows us to then remove that pesky `.0`: ```rust #[derive(Component, Deref, DerefMut)] struct Items(Vec<String>); fn give_sword(query: Query<&mut Items>) { query.single_mut().push(String::from("Flaming Poisoning Raging Sword of Doom")); } ``` ### Alternatives There are other alternatives to this such as by using the [`derive_more`](https://crates.io/crates/derive_more) crate. However, it doesn't seem like we need an entire crate just yet since we only need `Deref` and `DerefMut` (for now). ### Considerations One thing to consider is that the Rust std library recommends _not_ using `Deref` and `DerefMut` for things like this: "`Deref` should only be implemented for smart pointers to avoid confusion" ([reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Deref.html)). Personally, I believe it makes sense to use it in the way described above, but others may disagree. ### Additional Context Discord: https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/956648422163746827 (controversiality discussed [here](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/956711911481835630)) --- ## Changelog - Add `Deref` derive macro (exported to prelude) - Add `DerefMut` derive macro (exported to prelude) - Updated most newtypes in examples to use one or both derives Co-authored-by: MrGVSV <49806985+MrGVSV@users.noreply.github.com>
