Template Parameters
TThe enum type for which to get the constant
Returns
Constant entity if found, 0 entity if not.

◆ get() [5/9]

template<typename Func , if_t< is_callable< Func >::value > >
bool flecs::entity_view::get ( const Func & func) const
inline

Get 1..N components.

This operation accepts a callback with as arguments the components to retrieve. The callback will only be invoked when the entity has all the components.

This operation is faster than individually calling get for each component as it only obtains entity metadata once.

While the callback is invoked the table in which the components are stored is locked, which prevents mutations that could cause invalidation of the component references. Note that this is not an actual lock: invalid access causes a runtime panic and so it is still up to the application to ensure access is protected.

The component arguments must be references and can be either const or non-const. When all arguments are const, the function will read-lock the table (see ecs_read_begin). If one or more arguments are non-const the function will write-lock the table (see ecs_write_begin).

Example:

e.get([](Position& p, Velocity& v) { // write lock
p.x += v.x;
});
e.get([](const Position& p) { // read lock
std::cout << p.x << std::endl;
});
Parameters
funcThe callback to invoke.
Returns
True if the entity has all components, false if not.

Definition at line 180 of file impl.hpp.

◆ get() [6/9]

const void * flecs::entity_view::get ( flecs::entity_t first,
flecs::entity_t second ) const
inline

Get a pair (untyped).

This operation gets the value for a pair from the entity. If neither the first nor the second part of the pair are components, the operation will fail.

Parameters
firstThe first element of the pair.
secondThe second element of the pair.

Definition at line 354 of file entity_view.hpp.

◆ get() [7/9]

const void * flecs::entity_view::get ( flecs::id_t comp) const
inline

◆ mut() [1/3]

eAnother mutable entity.
Returns
An entity handle that allows for mutations in the current stage.

Definition at line 89 of file impl.hpp.

◆ mut() [2/3]

flecs::entity flecs::entity_view::mut ( const flecs::iter & it) const
inline

Same as mut(world), but for iterator.

This operation allows for the construction of a mutable entity handle from an iterator.

Parameters
itAn iterator that contains a reference to the world or stage.
Returns
An entity handle that allows for mutations in the current stage.

Definition at line 83 of file impl.hpp.

◆ mut() [3/3]

flecs::entity flecs::entity_view::mut ( const flecs::world & stage) const
inline

Return mutable entity handle for current stage When an entity handle created from the world is used while the world is in staged mode, it will only allow for readonly operations since structural changes are not allowed on the world while in staged mode.

To do mutations on the entity, this operation provides a handle to the entity that uses the stage instead of the actual world.

Note that staged entity handles should never be stored persistently, in components or elsewhere. An entity handle should always point to the main world.

Also note that this operation is not necessary when doing mutations on an entity outside of a system. It is allowed to do entity operations directly on the world, as long as the world is not in staged mode.

Parameters
stageThe current stage.
Returns
An entity handle that allows for mutations in the current stage.
