Detailed Description

Entity.

Class with read/write operations for entities.

Definition at line 29 of file entity.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ entity() [1/5]

flecs::entity::entity ( )
inline

Definition at line 31 of file entity.hpp.

◆ entity() [2/5]

flecs::entity::entity ( world_t * world)
inlineexplicit

Create entity.

Parameters
worldThe world in which to create the entity.

Definition at line 37 of file entity.hpp.

◆ entity() [3/5]

flecs::entity::entity ( const flecs::world_t * world,
flecs::entity_t id )
inlineexplicit

Wrap an existing entity id.

Parameters
worldThe world in which the entity is created.
idThe entity id.

Definition at line 54 of file entity.hpp.

◆ entity() [4/5]

flecs::entity::entity ( world_t * world,
const char * name )
inlineexplicit

Create a named entity.

Named entities can be looked up with the lookup functions. Entity names may be scoped, where each element in the name is separated by "::". For example: "Foo::Bar". If parts of the hierarchy in the scoped name do not yet exist, they will be automatically created.

Parameters
worldThe world in which to create the entity.
nameThe entity name.

Definition at line 68 of file entity.hpp.

◆ entity() [5/5]

flecs::entity::entity ( entity_t id)
inlineexplicit

Conversion from flecs::entity_t to flecs::entity.

Parameters
idThe entity_t value to convert.

Definition at line 84 of file entity.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

void flecs::entity::clear ( ) const
inline

Clear an entity.

This operation removes all components from an entity without recycling the entity id.

See also
ecs_clear()

Definition at line 297 of file entity.hpp.

◆ destruct()

void flecs::entity::destruct ( ) const
inline

Delete an entity.

Entities have to be deleted explicitly, and are not deleted when the entity object goes out of scope.

See also
ecs_delete()

Definition at line 307 of file entity.hpp.

◆ ensure() [1/5]

template<typename T >
T & flecs::entity::ensure ( ) const
inline

Get mutable component value.

This operation returns a mutable pointer to the component. If the entity did not yet have the component, it will be added. If a base entity had the component, it will be overridden, and the value of the base component will be copied to the entity before this function returns.

Template Parameters
TThe component to get.
Returns
Pointer to the component value.

◆ ensure() [2/5]

template<typename First , typename Second , typename P = pair<First, Second>, typename A = actual_type_t<P>, if_not_t< flecs::is_pair< First >::value > = 0>
A & flecs::entity::ensure ( ) const
inline

Get mutable pointer for a pair.

This operation gets the value for a pair from the entity.

Template Parameters
FirstThe first part of the pair.
Secondthe second part of the pair.

Definition at line 127 of file entity.hpp.

◆ ensure() [3/5]

void * flecs::entity::ensure ( entity_t comp) const
inline

Get mutable component value (untyped).

This operation returns a mutable pointer to the component. If the entity did not yet have the component, it will be added. If a base entity had the component, it will be overridden, and the value of the base component will be copied to the entity before this function returns.

Parameters
compThe component to get.
Returns
Pointer to the component value.

Definition at line 115 of file entity.hpp.

◆ ensure() [4/5]

void * flecs::entity::ensure ( entity_t first,
entity_t second ) const
inline

Get mutable pointer for a pair (untyped).

This operation gets the value for a pair from the entity. If neither the first nor second element of the pair is a component, the operation will fail.

Parameters
firstThe first element of the pair.
secondThe second element of the pair.

Definition at line 156 of file entity.hpp.

◆ ensure() [5/5]

template<typename First >
First & flecs::entity::ensure ( entity_t second) const
inline

Get mutable pointer for the first element of a pair.

This operation gets the value for a pair from the entity.

Template Parameters
FirstThe first part of the pair.
Parameters
secondThe second element of the pair.

Definition at line 140 of file entity.hpp.

◆ ensure_second()

template<typename Second >
Second & flecs::entity::ensure_second ( entity_t first) const
inline

Get mutable pointer for the second element of a pair.

This operation gets the value for a pair from the entity.

Template Parameters
SecondThe second element of the pair.
Parameters
firstThe first element of the pair.

Definition at line 167 of file entity.hpp.

◆ get_ref() [1/4]

template<typename T , if_t< is_actual< T >::value > = 0>
ref< T > flecs::entity::get_ref ( ) const
inline

Get reference to component.

A reference allows for quick and safe access to a component value, and is a faster alternative to repeatedly calling 'get' for the same component.

Template Parameters
Tcomponent for which to get a reference.
Returns
The reference.

Definition at line 247 of file entity.hpp.

◆ get_ref() [2/4]

template<typename T , typename A = actual_type_t<T>, if_t< flecs::is_pair< T >::value > = 0>
ref< A > flecs::entity::get_ref ( ) const
inline

Get reference to component.

Overload for when T is not the same as the actual type, which happens when using pair types. A reference allows for quick and safe access to a component value, and is a faster alternative to repeatedly calling 'get' for the same component.

Template Parameters
Tcomponent for which to get a reference.
Returns
The reference.

◆ modified() [1/5]

template<typename T >
void flecs::entity::modified ( ) const
inline

Signal that component was modified.

Template Parameters
Tcomponent that was modified.

Definition at line 186 of file entity.hpp.

◆ modified() [2/5]

template<typename First , typename Second , typename A = actual_type_t<flecs::pair<First, Second>>>
void flecs::entity::modified ( ) const
inline

Signal that the first element of a pair was modified.

Template Parameters
FirstThe first part of the pair.
Secondthe second part of the pair.

Definition at line 199 of file entity.hpp.

◆ modified() [3/5]

void flecs::entity::modified ( entity_t comp) const
inline

Signal that component was modified.

Parameters
compcomponent that was modified.

Definition at line 235 of file entity.hpp.

◆ modified() [4/5]

void flecs::entity::modified ( entity_t first,
entity_t second ) const
inline

Signal that a pair has modified (untyped).

If neither the first or second element of the pair are a component, the operation will fail.

Parameters
firstThe first element of the pair.
secondThe second element of the pair.

Definition at line 227 of file entity.hpp.

◆ modified() [5/5]

template<typename First >
void flecs::entity::modified ( entity_t second) const
inline

Signal that the first part of a pair was modified.

Template Parameters
FirstThe first part of the pair.
Parameters
secondThe second element of the pair.

◆ null() [1/2]

inlinestatic

Definition at line 338 of file entity.hpp.

◆ null() [2/2]

static flecs::entity flecs::entity::null ( const flecs::world_t * world)
inlinestatic

Entity id 0.

This function is useful when the API must provide an entity that belongs to a world, but the entity id is 0.

Parameters
worldThe world.

Definition at line 331 of file entity.hpp.

◆ view()

flecs::entity_view flecs::entity::view ( ) const
inline

Return entity as entity_view.

This returns an entity_view instance for the entity which is a readonly version of the entity class.

This is similar to a regular upcast, except that this method ensures that the entity_view instance is instantiated with a world vs. a stage, which a regular upcast does not guarantee.
