Struct MaterialRegistration 

pub struct MaterialRegistration {
    pub type_name: &'static str,
    pub serialize: fn(&dyn Material) -> Option<Vec<u8>>,
    pub deserialize: MaterialDeserializeFn,
    pub create_default: fn() -> Box<dyn Material>,
    pub serialize_json: fn(&dyn Material) -> Option<Value>,
    pub deserialize_json: fn(&Value) -> Result<Box<dyn Material>, String>,
}

Registration entry for a serializable material type.

Submitted via inventory::submit! either manually or through #[derive(Material)].

Fields

type_name: &'static str

Unique type name used for lookup during deserialization.

serialize: fn(&dyn Material) -> Option<Vec<u8>>

Serializes a dyn Material into binary data. Returns None if the material does not match this registration’s concrete type.

deserialize: MaterialDeserializeFn

Deserializes binary data back into a Box<dyn Material>.

create_default: fn() -> Box<dyn Material>

Creates a default instance of this material type (for placeholder handles).

serialize_json: fn(&dyn Material) -> Option<Value>

Serializes a dyn Material into a serde-JSON value for the editor inspector. Returns None if the material does not match this registration’s concrete type. Mirrors serialize but in an editable, human-readable encoding.

deserialize_json: fn(&Value) -> Result<Box<dyn Material>, String>

Deserializes a serde-JSON value (as produced by serialize_json) back into a Box<dyn Material>.
