Easy-to-use asset manager for many environments.
This crate is written with following goals in mind:
Batteries included.\
Crate comes with variety of simple data sources like FileSource and HttpSource.
Few Formats based on serde are included under feature flags.
Extensibility.\
Multiple Format traits can be implemented for any asset type, including foreign asset types.\
For example JsonFormat, YamlFormat and RonFormat (bundled in the crate) implement Format trait for any asset type
which intermediate representation implements serde::de::DeserializeOwned.
Supporting WebAssembly.\ All mandatory dependencies are WASM-compatible and no threading is required for asset loading to work.
Working with asynchronous data sources.\
All data sources implement Source trait.
Source::read method returns future that will be driven to completion by the bound Loader.
no_std\
alloc is required.
Fast compilation.\
build after cargo clean takes ~3s.
This crate is not aimed to support every possible feature. Here's list of some of those features:
All out-of-the-box functionality execut core traits and types are enabled with features.
std - adds implementation of std::error::Error trait for error types.
Enabled by default.sync - makes most types Send and some Sync. Adds requirements for traits implementations to be Send and Sync where needed.
Enabled by default.fs (enables std) - adds FileSource - Source implementation that loads asset bytes from file-system.reqwest - adds ReqwestSource - Source implementation that loads asset bytes from URLs using reqwest.
Using this source requires Loader to be polled by tokio. Otherwise reqwest interals will panic.fetch - adds FetchSource that uses browser's Fetch API to load assets data. Conflicts with sync feature.json-format - adds Format implementation that treats asset bytes as JSON document and deserializes asset representation via serdeyaml-format - adds Format implementation that treats asset bytes as YAML document and deserializes asset representation via serderon-format - adds Format implementation that treats asset bytes as RON document and deserializes asset representation via serdeThere are few simple examples provided already.
fs examlple - shows how to build registry with FileSource and load simple assets from it.
reqwest example - async example that loads assets from localhost over HTTP using tokio and reqwest crates.
legion example - shows how to load assets into entity using legion ECS crate.
fetch example - shows how to load assets in browser using Fetch API.
