BindingSystem - Simplify Unity Value Binding
The BindingSystem is a powerful tool designed to streamline the process of binding serialized values in the Unity Inspector with any available property from any Unity object. With this versatile tool, developers can easily establish dynamic connections between different parts of their projects without needing to code those connections manually. This approach allows for greater code modularization and increased testability of components.
Unlike other solutions, this tool doesn't require additional components and can bind per property, even deeply nested ones with ease.
Key Features
- Bind anything: This tool can be used to bind anything: text files directly to text fields, sliders to doors, mouse position to player movement, object acceleration to image tint color, and more...
- Powerful Bind Class: At the core of the BindingSystem is the Bind<T> class, which encapsulates the T type with advanced binding mechanisms. This feature allows developers to create complex, multi-layered connections with ease.
- Converters and Modifiers: Extend the system's functionality using converters to transform one type into another and modifiers to manipulate bound values before retrieval or assignment.
- Multi-Bind: Bind multiple sources to a single field, or vice-versa. Make a player move by moving a slider, pressing a joystick or moving a rigid body in 3D space, the immagination is the limit.
- Drawer and Setup: The custom-built searchable dropdown menu makes setting up bindings in the Inspector quick and efficient.
- Troubleshooting and Live Debug: Visualize and handle errors efficiently with error visualization features. The Live Debug functionality allows real-time inspection of value phases, converters, and modifiers during runtime. Additionally, values from sources can be previewed during edit time to improve binding process.
- Performance First: The BindingSystem offers excellent performance without sacrificing flexibility. Fine-tune optimization options to balance memory usage and speed.
- Automatic Serialized Values Conversion: The system will assist with bind types transition in existing projects by automatically reserializing transformed fields.
- Settings and Customization: Tailor the BindingSystem to your specific needs with settings that control visibility of implicit converters, incompatible modifiers, and more.
- Demo Scene and Documentation: A comprehensive demo scene and well-structured documentation guide developers through the usage and extension of the BindingSystem.
- Odin Inspector support: This tool supports draws from Odin Inspector and can even forward Odin's attributes to inner values.
