How to Install

Minimal Unity Version is 2020.3.

Library distributed as git package (How to install package from git URL) Git URL: https://github.com/codewriter-packages/Tri-Inspector.git

After installing the package, you need to unpack the Installer.unitypackage that comes with the package.

Then in ProjectSettings/TriInspector enable Full mode for Tri Inspector.

Attributes

Customization

Custom Drawers

using TriInspector;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[assembly: RegisterTriValueDrawer(typeof(BoolDrawer), TriDrawerOrder.Fallback)]

public class BoolDrawer : TriValueDrawer<bool>
{
    public override float GetHeight(float width, TriValue<bool> propertyValue, TriElement next)
    {
        return EditorGUIUtility.singleLineHeight;
    }

    public override void OnGUI(Rect position, TriValue<bool> propertyValue, TriElement next)
    {
        var value = propertyValue.Value;

        EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck();

        value = EditorGUI.Toggle(position, propertyValue.Property.DisplayNameContent, value);

        if (EditorGUI.EndChangeCheck())
        {
            propertyValue.Value = value;
        }
    }
}

using TriInspector;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

[assembly: RegisterTriAttributeDrawer(typeof(LabelWidthDrawer), TriDrawerOrder.Decorator)]

public class LabelWidthDrawer : TriAttributeDrawer<LabelWidthAttribute>
{
    public override void OnGUI(Rect position, TriProperty property, TriElement next)
    {
        var oldLabelWidth = EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth;

        EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth = Attribute.Width;
        next.OnGUI(position);
        EditorGUIUtility.labelWidth = oldLabelWidth;
    }
}

using TriInspector;
using TriInspector.Elements;

[assembly: RegisterTriGroupDrawer(typeof(TriBoxGroupDrawer))]

public class TriBoxGroupDrawer : TriGroupDrawer<DeclareBoxGroupAttribute>
{
    public override TriPropertyCollectionBaseElement CreateElement(DeclareBoxGroupAttribute attribute)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Validators

using TriInspector;

[assembly: RegisterTriValueValidator(typeof(MissingReferenceValidator<>))]

public class MissingReferenceValidator<T> : TriValueValidator<T>
    where T : UnityEngine.Object
{
    public override TriValidationResult Validate(TriValue<T> propertyValue)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

using TriInspector;

[assembly: RegisterTriAttributeValidator(typeof(RequiredValidator), ApplyOnArrayElement = true)]

public class RequiredValidator : TriAttributeValidator<RequiredAttribute>
{
    public override TriValidationResult Validate(TriProperty property)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Property Processors

using TriInspector;
using UnityEngine;

[assembly: RegisterTriPropertyHideProcessor(typeof(HideInPlayModeProcessor))]

public class HideInPlayModeProcessor : TriPropertyHideProcessor<HideInPlayModeAttribute>
{
    public override bool IsHidden(TriProperty property)
    {
        return Application.isPlaying;
    }
}

using TriInspector;
using UnityEngine;

[assembly: RegisterTriPropertyDisableProcessor(typeof(DisableInPlayModeProcessor))]

public class DisableInPlayModeProcessor : TriPropertyDisableProcessor<DisableInPlayModeAttribute>
{
    public override bool IsDisabled(TriProperty property)
    {
        return Application.isPlaying;
    }
}

Integrations

Odin Inspector

Tri Inspector is able to work in compatibility mode with Odin Inspector. In this mode, the primary interface will be drawn by the Odin Inspector. However, parts of the interface can be rendered by the Tri Inspector.

In order for the interface to be rendered by Tri instead of Odin, it is necessary to mark classes with [DrawWithTriInspector] attribute.

Odin Validator

Tri Inspector is integrated with the Odin Validator so all validation results from Tri attributes will be shown in the Odin Validator window.
