They include extensions for common Unity structures such as Rect and Texture2D, different methods that make it easier to develop custom interfaces and property drawers, etc. You can read the full documentation on the repository [Wiki](https://github.com/SolidAlloy/SolidUtilities/wiki). I'm adding new utilities as I write code for other Unity3D projects and discover some common patterns/methods I use throughout the codebase. #### Projects that use SolidUtilities: - [ClassTypeReference-for-Unity](https://github.com/SolidAlloy/ClassTypeReference-for-Unity) - [Generic Unity Objects](https://github.com/SolidAlloy/GenericUnityObjects) ### Install with OpenUPM Once you have the [OpenUPM cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli#installation), run the following command: ```openupm install com.solidalloy.util``` Or if you don't have it, add the scoped registry to manifest.json with the desired dependency semantic version: ```json "scopedRegistries": [ { "name": "package.openupm.com", "url": "https://package.openupm.com", "scopes": [ "com.solidalloy", "com.openupm" ] } ], "dependencies": { "com.solidalloy.util": "1.39.0" }, ``` ### Install via Package Manager Project supports Unity Package Manager. To install the project as a Git package do the following: 1. In Unity, open **Project Settings** -> **Package Manager**. 2. Add a new scoped registry with the following details: - **Name**: package.openupm.com - **URL**: https://package.openupm.com - Scope(s): - com.openupm - com.solidalloy 3. Hit **Apply**. 4. Go to **Window** -> **Package Manager**. 5. Press the **+** button, *Add package from git URL*. 6. Enter **com.solidalloy.util**, press **Add**. # The most useful utilities ## RectExtensions ### AddHorizontalPadding(rect, leftPadding, rightPadding) Creates padding to the left and right of a rectangle by narrowing it down. | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | rect | *UnityEngine.Rect*
The bigger rect to create padding for. | | leftPadding | *System.Single*
Width of the left padding in pixels. | | rightPadding | *System.Single*
Width of the right padding in pixels. | #### Returns The smaller rect that appeared after creating paddings. #### Example ``` Rect innerToolbarArea = outerToolbarArea.AddHorizontalPadding(10f, 2f); ``` ### AlignMiddleVertically(rect, height) Places a rect with a smaller height vertically in the middle of a bigger rect. | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | rect | *UnityEngine.Rect*
The bigger rect. | | height | *System.Single*
The height of a smaller rect. | #### Returns The smaller rect with a given height that was aligned vertically in the middle of a bigger rect. #### Example ``` Rect innerToolbarArea = outerToolbarArea.AlignMiddleVertically(DropdownStyle.LabelHeight); ``` ### CutVertically(originalRect, cutDistance, fromRightBorder) Cuts a big rect into two smaller ones by placing a vertical cut at cutDistance from the left or right border of the rect. | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | originalRect | *UnityEngine.Rect*
The rect that should be split. | | cutDistance | *System.Single*
The distance from the left or right border of the rect where to place vertical cut. | | fromRightBorder | *System.Boolean*
Whether to count the distance from left or right border. | #### Returns Left and right rects that appeared after the cut. #### Example ``` (Rect searchFieldArea, Rect buttonArea) = innerToolbarArea.CutVertically(DropdownStyle.IconSize, true); ``` ### RoundUpCoordinates(rect) Rounds up x, y, width, and height of the rect. | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | rect | *UnityEngine.Rect@*
Rect to round coordinates for. | #### Example ``` popupArea.RoundUpCoordinates(); ``` ## FuzzySearch Implementation of the fuzzy search algorithm. ### CanBeIncluded(searchString, itemName, score) Determines if an item should be included in the search result and outputs its score (its position in the list of matching items.) | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | searchString | *System.String*
Search string to compare the item to. | | itemName | *System.String*
Name of the item to include in the result list. | | score | *System.Int32@*
Score of the item that determines how high in the result list it should be placed. | #### Returns Whether to include the result in the list. #### Example ``` EnumerateTree() .Where(node => node.Type != null) .Select(node => { bool includeInSearch = FuzzySearch.CanBeIncluded(_searchString, node.FullTypeName, out int score); return new { score, item = node, include = includeInSearch }; }) .Where(x => x.include) .OrderByDescending(x => x.score) .Select(x => x.item)); ``` ## DrawHelper Different useful methods that simplify UnityEngine.GUILayout API. ### DrawHorizontally(drawContent) Draws content in the horizontal direction. | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | drawContent | *System.Action*
Action that draws the content. | #### Example ``` DrawHelper.DrawHorizontally(() => { selectedValue = DrawSelectorDropdownAndGetSelectedValue(); if (Event.current.type == EventType.Repaint) DrawHamburgerMenuButton(); }); ``` ### DrawVertically(drawContent) Draws content in the vertical direction. | Name | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | drawContent | *System.Action*
Action that draws the content. | #### Example ``` DrawHelper.DrawVertically(() => { EditorDrawHelper.DrawInfoMessage("No types to select."); }); ```
