Interface IAssetLocator

Interface for locating and loading assets by token and type.

Namespace: Serenity.Global.Application.Interfaces

Assembly: Serenity.Global.Application.dll

Syntax

public interface IAssetLocator

Methods

IsEngineAssetType(Type)

Determines whether type is (or derives from) the engine's base asset type (e.g. Unity's UnityEngine.Object). Callers outside Infrastructure must not reference the engine type directly, so this predicate lets them branch on "is this an engine asset reference" without a compile-time dependency on the engine assembly.

Declaration

bool IsEngineAssetType(Type type)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Type	type	The candidate type to check.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the type is the engine's base asset type or a type assignable to it.

TryLoad(string, Type, out object)

Attempts to load an asset based on the provided token and type.

Declaration

bool TryLoad(string token, Type type, out object asset)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	token	The token identifying the asset.
Type	type	The type of the asset to load.
object	asset	The loaded asset if found; otherwise, null.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the asset was successfully loaded; otherwise, false.
