Documentation

The Unity Editor exposes public fields in the inspector window, but does not handle properties. Some developers circumvent this limitation by polling changes in the "Update()-loop". The result is poorly maintainable and unperformant code.

Don't:

public class MyMonoBehaviour : MonoBehaviour {

  public int health;

  //called per frame
  void Update() {
    SetHealthbar(health);
  }
}

Do:

public class MyMonoBehaviour : ExposedMonoBehaviour {

  [SerializeField,HideInInspector] private int _health; //auto properties are not serialized by unity! Use fields instead

  [ExposeProperty]
  public int Health {
    get {
      return _health;
    }
    set {
      _health = value;
      SetHealthbar(value); //called only once
    }
  }
}
