Bevy Settings

License: MIT Doc Crate Build Status Bevy tracking dependency status

The goal of this project is to store settings in a resource throughout game launches.

Discord

Currently this crate supports Linux, Mac and Windows.

The crate will choose the appropriate path for each OS to store the config file.

TODO

  • multi storage support
  • file naming support
  • obfuscation support, this should just make it minimal hard to change the data, it is not really secure

Usage

This example will generate a config file on your system but it probably will not hurt you if you pick something non existent

use bevy::prelude::*; 
use bevy_settings::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Resource, Default, Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Copy)]
#[serde(crate = "bevy_settings::serde")]
struct Settings {
    master_volume: f64,
    custom_cursor: bool,
}

fn main () {
    App::new()
        .add_plugin(bevy_settings::SettingsPlugin::<Settings>::new(
            "My awesome game studio",
            "The name of the game"
        ))
        .run();
}

on e.g. my linux machine this will create

❯ cat ~/.config/myawesomegamestudio/My awesome game studio.toml 
master_volume = 0.0
custom_cursor = false

Known limitations

  • the toml crate has problems with large numbers e.g. u64::MAX
  • there is a problem with tuple structs e.g. TestSetting(u32) does not work but TestSetting{ test: u32 } works fine.

Checkout the basic example to see how to persist the configuration.
