Docs / Tooling / Codegen

Code generation tools for ZenECS (if applicable).

Overview

ZenECS currently does not use code generation. All APIs are explicit and require no generated code.

Future Considerations

Potential code generation features:

  • Component serialization: Generate serialization code
  • Query optimization: Generate optimized query code
  • System templates: Generate system boilerplate
  • Binding code: Generate binder implementations

Manual Alternatives

Component Templates

Use code snippets for common patterns:

// Snippet: zenecs-component
public struct $NAME$
{
    public $TYPE$ $FIELD$;
}

System Templates

Use templates for system structure:

// Template: zenecs-system
[FixedGroup]
public sealed class $SYSTEMNAME$ : ISystem
{
    public void Run(IWorld world, float deltaTime)
    {
        using var cmd = world.BeginWrite();
        foreach (var (entity, $COMPONENT$) in world.Query<$COMPONENT$>())
        {
            // System logic
        }
    }
}
