A framework for generalizing inventory logic and abstracting it away from item data in your specific game.
The only assumption that this framework makes is that your items have stacks. Even if your items do not have stacks and are only single items, you can still workshop that to work with this system but it will be more inefficient. However, if your inventory system fundamentally works differently, feel free to take inspiration from the design in here while making your specific tweaks.
trait IItem
Item data that never changes, like how the item looks, its base damage, its description e.t.c.trait IItemInstance
Item data that changes between instances, like enchantments, how many you have, their durability, e.t.c.trait ISlot
Manages a single item instance. Good for binding user action to different types of instance modification (stack splitting, stack combining, e.t.c.). Allows for binding to the UI via a callback function.Vec<ISlot>
Is the way an inventory is composed. There are builtin functions in inventory_management
that can help manage the inventory.
