@alice-i-cecile I addressed most of your open reviews from the original PR (namely the docs and renaming methods). However, I didn't address this one as I wasn't too sure if we necessarily need to extract that logic from the |

I took another look: I'm happy to defer to you here and get this merged :) Great docs!

Needs some docs but other than that I don't have any concerns

This needs docs for what exactly a parseable path looks like, especially the # bit. Was not obvious to me at all from the tests without reading actual source.

A nice long doc test would be great here.

The docs regarding this is on GetPath
, but maybe apart from just the link to those docs, I can give a couple examples here. Does that work?

should these maybe return the VariantType
with the error?

Good idea!
@MrGVSV ping me when you want this merged :) This is ready but I'll give you some time to decide how much you want to address in this PR. |

# Objective > ℹ️ **This is an adoption of #4081 by @james7132** Fixes #4080. Provide a way to pre-parse reflection paths so as to avoid having to parse at each call to `GetPath::path` (or similar method). ## Solution Adds the `ParsedPath` struct (named `FieldPath` in the original PR) that parses and caches the sequence of accesses to a reflected element. This is functionally similar to the `GetPath` trait, but removes the need to parse an unchanged path more than once. ### Additional Changes Included in this PR from the original is cleaner code as well as the introduction of a new pathing operation: field access by index. This allows struct and struct variant fields to be accessed in a more performant (albeit more fragile) way if needed. This operation is faster due to not having to perform string matching. As an example, if we wanted the third field on a struct, we'd write `#2`—where `#` denotes indexed access and `2` denotes the desired field index. This PR also contains improved documentation for `GetPath` and friends, including renaming some of the methods to be more clear to the end-user with a reduced risk of getting them mixed up. ### Future Work There are a few things that could be done as a separate PR (order doesn't matter— they could be followup PRs or done in parallel). These are: - [x] ~~Add support for `Tuple`. Currently, we hint that they work but they do not.~~ See #7324 - [ ] Cleanup `ReflectPathError`. I think it would be nicer to give `ReflectPathError` two variants: `ReflectPathError::ParseError` and `ReflectPathError::AccessError`, with all current variants placed within one of those two. It's not obvious when one might expect to receive one type of error over the other, so we can help by explicitly categorizing them. --- ## Changelog - Cleaned up `GetPath` logic - Added `ParsedPath` for cached reflection paths - Added new reflection path syntax: struct field access by index (example syntax: `foo#1`) - Renamed methods on `GetPath`: - `path` -> `reflect_path` - `path_mut` -> `reflect_path_mut` - `get_path` -> `path` - `get_path_mut` -> `path_mut` ## Migration Guide `GetPath` methods have been renamed according to the following: - `path` -> `reflect_path` - `path_mut` -> `reflect_path_mut` - `get_path` -> `path` - `get_path_mut` -> `path_mut` Co-authored-by: Gino Valente <gino.valente.code@gmail.com>

## How This Works For the Bevy 0.10 release blog post (and for the first time ever), I'm publicly opening the doors to other people writing blog post sections. Specifically, if you worked on a feature in a substantial way and are interested in presenting it, you can now ask to claim a section by leaving a comment in this PR. If you claim a section, submit a pull request to the `release-0.10.0` branch in this repo. For the next week, we will be filling in sections (the release target is Saturday March 4th). Please don't claim a section if you don't plan on completing it within that timeline. Also don't claim a section if you weren't an active participant in the design and implementation of the change (unless you are a Maintainer or SME). I will claim any unclaimed sections. Try to match the style of previous release blog posts as much as possible. 1. Show, don't tell. Don't bombard people with information. Avoid large walls of text _and_ large walls of code. Prefer the pattern "byte sized description of one thing" -> "example code/picture/video contextualizing that one thing" -> repeat. Take readers on a journey step by simple step. 2. Don't use up reader's "mental bandwidth" without good reason. We can't afford page-long descriptions of minor bug fixes. If it isn't a "headliner change", keep the description short and sweet. If a change is self describing, let it do that (ex: We now support this new mesh shape primitive ... this is what it looks like). If it is a "headliner change", still try to keep it reasonable. We always have a lot to cover. 3. In slight competition with point (2), don't omit interesting technical information when it is truly fun and engaging. A good chunk of our users are highly technical and enjoy learning how the sausage is made. Try to strike a balance between "terse and simple" and "nerdy details". 4. When relevant, briefly describe the problem being solved first, then describe the solution we chose. This contextualizes the change and gives the feature value and purpose. 5. When possible, provide visuals. They create interest / keep people hooked / break up the monotony. 6. Record images and videos at the default bevy resolution (1280x720) 7. Provide an accurate listing of authors that meaningfully contributed to the feature. Try to sort in order of "contribution scale". This is hard to define, but try to be fair. When in doubt, ask other contributors, SMEs, and/or maintainers. 8. Provide numbers and graphs where possible. If something is faster, use numbers to back it up. We don't (yet) have automated graph generation in blog post style, so send data / info to me (@cart) if you want a graph made. ## Headliners Headliners are our "big ticket high importance / high profile" changes. They are listed briefly at the beginning of the blog post, their entries are roughly sorted "to the top", and they are given priority when it comes to "space in the blog post". If you think we missed something (or didn't prioritize something appropriately), let us know. * ECS Schedule v3 (previously known as "stageless") * Partial Android Support * Depth and Normal Prepass * Environment Map Lighting * Cascaded Shadow Maps * Distance and Atmospheric Fog * Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions * Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering * Windows as Entities * Renderer Optimizations * ECS Optimizations ## Sections These are the sections we will cover in the blog post. If a section has been claimed, it will have `(claimed by X)` in the title. If it is unclaimed it will have `(unclaimed)` in the title. Let us know if we missed a section. We don't cover every feature, but we should cover pretty much everything that would be interesting to users. Note that what is interesting or challenging to implement is not necessarily something that is relevant to our blog post readers. And sometimes the reverse is true! If you believe a section should be split up or reorganized, just bring it up here and we can discuss it. ### ~~Schedule V3 (claimed by @alice-i-cecile)~~ * [Migrate engine to Schedule v3][7267] * [Add `bevy_ecs::schedule_v3` module][6587] * [Stageless: fix unapplied systems][7446] * [Stageless: move final apply outside of spawned executor][7445] * Sets * Base Sets * [Base Sets][7466] * Reporting * [Report sets][7756] * [beter cycle reporting][7463] * Run Conditions * [Add condition negation][7559] * [And/Or][7605] * [Add more common run conditions][7579] * States * [States derive macro][7535] * System Piping Flexibility * [Support piping exclusive systems][7023] * [Allow piping run conditions][7547] ### ~~Depth and Normal Prepass (claimed by @IceSentry)~~ * [Add depth and normal prepass][6284] * [Move prepass functions to prepass_utils][7354] ### ~~Distance and Atmospheric Fog (claimed by @coreh)~~ * [Add Distance and Atmospheric Fog support][6412] ### ~~Cascaded Shadow Maps (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Cascaded shadow maps.][7064] * [Better cascades config defaults + builder, tweak example configs][7456] ### ~~Environment Map Lighting (claimed by @cart)~~ * [EnvironmentMapLight, BRDF Improvements][7051] * [Webgl2 support][7737] ### ~~Tonemapping options (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Initial tonemapping options][7594] ### ~~Android support + unification (claimed by @mockersf)~~ * [IOS, Android... same thing][7493] ### ~~Windows as Entities (claimed by @Aceeri)~~ * [Windows as Entities][5589] * [break feedback loop when moving cursor][7298] * [Fix `Window` feedback loop between the OS and Bevy][7517] ### ~~Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Pipelined Rendering][6503] * [Stageless: add a method to scope to always run a task on the scope thread][7415] * [Separate Extract from Sub App Schedule][7046] ### ~~Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Smooth Transition between Animations][6922] ### ~~Spatial Audio (claimed by @harudagondi)~~ * [Spatial Audio][6028] ### ~~Shader Processor Features (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Shader defs can now have a value][5900] * [Shaders can now have #else ifdef chains][7431] * [Define shader defs in shader][7518] ### ~~Shader Flexibility Improvements (claimed by @cart)~~ * [add ambient lighting hook][5428] * [Refactor Globals and View structs into separate shaders][7512] ### ~~Renderer Optimizations (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [bevy_pbr: Avoid copying structs and using registers in shaders][7069] * [Flatten render commands][6885] * [Replace UUID based IDs with a atomic-counted ones][6988] * [improve compile time by type-erasing wgpu structs][5950] * [Shrink DrawFunctionId][6944] * [Shrink ComputedVisibility][6305] * [Reduce branching in TrackedRenderPass][7053] * [Make PipelineCache internally mutable.][7205] * [Improve `Color::hex` performance][6940] * [Support recording multiple CommandBuffers in RenderContext][7248] * [Parallelized transform propagation][4775] * [Introduce detailed_trace macro, use in TrackedRenderPass][7639] * [Optimize color computation in prepare_uinodes][7311] * [Directly extract joints into SkinnedMeshJoints][6833] * [Parallelize forward kinematics animation systems][6785] * [Move system_commands spans into apply_buffers][6900] * [Reduce the use of atomics in the render phase][7084] ### ~~ECS Optimizations (claimed by @james7132 )~~ * [Remove redundant table and sparse set component IDs from Archetype][4927] * [Immutable sparse sets for metadata storage][4928] * [Replace BlobVec's swap_scratch with a swap_nonoverlapping][4853] * [Use T::Storage::STORAGE_TYPE to optimize out unused branches][6800] * [Remove unnecessary branching from bundle insertion][6902] * [Split Component Ticks][6547] * [use bevy_utils::HashMap for better performance.

Objective
Fixes #4080.
Provide a way to pre-parse reflection paths so as to avoid having to parse at each call to
GetPath::path
(or similar method).Solution
Adds the
ParsedPath
struct (namedFieldPath
in the original PR) that parses and caches the sequence of accesses to a reflected element. This is functionally similar to theGetPath
trait, but removes the need to parse an unchanged path more than once.Additional Changes
Included in this PR from the original is cleaner code as well as the introduction of a new pathing operation: field access by index. This allows struct and struct variant fields to be accessed in a more performant (albeit more fragile) way if needed. This operation is faster due to not having to perform string matching. As an example, if we wanted the third field on a struct, we'd write
#2
—where#
denotes indexed access and2
denotes the desired field index.This PR also contains improved documentation for
GetPath
and friends, including renaming some of the methods to be more clear to the end-user with a reduced risk of getting them mixed up.Future Work
There are a few things that could be done as a separate PR (order doesn't matter— they could be followup PRs or done in parallel). These are:
Add support forSee [Merged by Bors] - bevy_reflect: Support tuple reflection paths #7324Tuple
. Currently, we hint that they work but they do not.ReflectPathError
. I think it would be nicer to giveReflectPathError
two variants:ReflectPathError::ParseError
andReflectPathError::AccessError
, with all current variants placed within one of those two. It's not obvious when one might expect to receive one type of error over the other, so we can help by explicitly categorizing them.Changelog
