bevy_dev_console

bevy_dev_console is a Source-inspired developer console plugin for the Bevy Game Engine.

Warning

bevy_dev_console is currently in its early development stages. Expect breaking changes in the near future (especially when using the built-in command parser). For this reason its only available as a git package at the moment.

Features

Log viewing
- View all the hidden data from any log message by hovering over it.
Powerful Built-in parser language built specifically for bevy_dev_console. (Documentation)
- Calculations
- Variables
  - Uses a simplified version of ownership and borrowing
- Standard library (Doesn't have much at the moment)
- Custom native functions (World access included!)
- Many types
- Resource viewing and modification
  - Enums
  - Structs
- ~~Entity queries~~ Coming Soon... (Syntax suggestions would be appreciated!)
- ...and more!

Usage

Add the bevy_dev_console git package.

cargo add --git https://github.com/doonv/bevy_dev_console.git

Import the prelude.
```
use bevy_dev_console::prelude::*;
```

Add the plugins.

use bevy::{prelude::*,log::LogPlugin};
use bevy_dev_console::prelude::*;

App::new()
    .add_plugins((
        // Start capturing logs before the default plugins initiate.
        ConsoleLogPlugin::default(),
        // Add the default plugins without the LogPlugin.
        // Not removing the LogPlugin will cause a panic!
        DefaultPlugins.build().disable::<LogPlugin>(),
        // Add the dev console plugin itself.
        DevConsolePlugin,
    ))
    .run();

That should be it! You can now press the ` / ~ key on your keyboard and it should open the console!

Togglable Features

(default) builtin-parser includes the default parser. Disabling this allows you to remove the built-in parser and replace it with your own (or you could do nothing and make the console into a log reader).
