Unity.ZString

UPM package for ZString.

The "official" way to install via GIT requires to add an additional DLL, I like to add my dependencies in package.json and be done with it.

Installation

Add the dependency to your manifest.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.cysharp.zstring": "https://github.com/starburst997/Unity.ZString.git"
  }
}

Usage

See the official README.

// same as x + y + z
_ = ZString.Concat(x, y, z);

// also can use numeric format strings
_ = ZString.Format("x:{0}, y:{1:000}, z:{2:P}",x, y, z);

_ = ZString.Join(',', x, y, z);

// for Unity, direct write(avoid string allocation completely) to TextMeshPro
tmp.SetTextFormat("Position: {0}, {1}, {2}", x, y, z);

// create StringBuilder
using(var sb = ZString.CreateStringBuilder())
{
    sb.Append("foo");
    sb.AppendLine(42);
    sb.AppendFormat("{0} {1:.###}", "bar", 123.456789);

    // and build final string
    var str = sb.ToString();

    // for Unity, direct write to TextMeshPro
    tmp.SetText(sb);

    // write to destination buffer
    sb.TryCopyTo(dest, out var written);
}
