Database

Database is the backbone of all URSA Serialization.

Database:

• Uses URSASettings to determine its work folders
• Scans workfolders for all prefabs with Entity and assigns database_ID.
• Creates DatabaseManifest file that helps with searches on runtime.
• Has options in URSAMenu

Layman terms: A Database in URSA is just a folder where your Entities are located. Without database entities are just prefabs with advanced functionality, with database assigned IDs, your entities are fully serializeable on runtime.

TODO: Additionally database provides the means to perform advanced searches, like searching by Component , like :

string[] AllWeapons = Database.GetByComponent(typeof(Weapon));

foreach(var w in AllWeapons) {
   GameObject prefab = Database.GetPrefab(w);
}
