📟 What is Componentable?

The main goal of the Componentable is to create components to some classes to share responsibility between nodes.

Why use Components?

With this you can split the logic in many scripts with low code, and you can customize some behaviours for many nodes with same scene

Example of selection of components on Componentable

Componentable Flow

The componentable flow is the componentable will always be required, so when you create a component will always have a variable with the componentable as value, but componentable can call the component but the component could not exist.

🔧 Installation

• You can search "Componentable" on Godot Assets Library
• You can download this repo, copy and paste the addons/componentable into your project's folder

📝 Getting Started

Creating a Component

To start just select a node and in the "Componentable" tab click on Create Componentable

Then select a path and a name to your component, will create a Componen

Node don't need to have a script, componentable can be used with build-in types

So for in our component example Glowing will make the player glow with:

class_name Glowing extends PlayerComponent

#You can access the variable player to get the parent of this component, that is a class named Player

func _ready():
    if active: # active is a variable inside PlayerComponent to make some enabling behaviours
        create_tween().tween_property(player, "modulate:a", 0, 1)

then you select the Componentable node you can select the component

This list of components will show all components that is from this node type and node parent types

when selected a component will show up as a node in components node of your Componentable

Here you can see that we have two variables player that will be automatic assign as the Componentable Node, and the active variable, that will disable the behavior in your logic.

You can make more exported variables to create more customization to your component

Getting a Component from a Node

When you want to get a component from a Componentable, you can use:

var glowing: Glowing = Component.find(self, "Glowing")

If you want to get a component from a other node, you can use:

var glowing: Glowing = Component.find(player, "Glowing")

Just remember the component can be null

Adding or removing component in runtime

To add a component to a componentable in runtime you can use:

Component.subscribe(node, "ComponentName")

and to remove a component you can use:

Component.unsubscribe(node, "ComponentName")

Some others functions

Component.has(node, "component") # return true if this componentable have this component

Component.get_all(node) # return all components in this componentable
