Introducing TypeSafe
3 Aug, 2015 • @SimonMoles
Today we released our new editor extension for Unity, TypeSafe.
TypeSafe is a tool for reflecting changes made in the Unity Editor to your code. By scanning the project and generating static classes from your Resources, Layers, Tags and Scenes you no longer have to rely on hard-coded ‘naked-strings’ littered around your codebase. This has a number of benefits that improve the robustness of your code:
- Any changes made in the Editor that might introduce bugs in your code will cause compiler errors. (e.g. renaming a resource, which would break a hard-coded path at runtime, shows up as a compiler error immediately)
- Misspelling layers, scenes, etc is no longer possible.
- It is possible to iterate over the resources in your project.
