Bevy background compute

This bevy plugin provides improvements to handling of background tasks. It adds a Commands extension to more easily place a Future onto bevy's TaskPool and upon completion it will send a callback in the form of an event containing the result.

Full usage example

Check out the basic_usage example with

cargo run --example basic_usage

Registering a type as background computable

In order to keep track of running tasks and to produce completion events every type returned by your Futures has to be registered using the BackgroundComputePlugin<T>.

rust ignore app.add_plugin(BackgroundComputePlugin::<MyType>::default())

Computing a Future in background

rust ignore commands.compute_in_background(async { // Your code here });

Getting the result

rust ignore // Create a system consuming BackgroundComputeComplete<T> events fn my_callback_sys( mut events: EventReader<BackgroundComputeComplete<MyResult>> ) { // Handle like any other bevy event }
