TMP_InputFieldCanvasTypeSettings - jimdroberts/FishMMO GitHub Wiki

The TMP_InputFieldCanvasTypeSettings class is a canvas type settings handler for TextMeshPro's TMP_InputField component in the FishMMO client. It applies color settings from a configuration file to the input field's color states, enabling consistent theming and easy customization of TMP input field appearance.

• public override void ApplySettings(object component, Configuration configuration)

  Applies color settings from configuration to the given TMP_InputField component. Sets the input field's normal, pressed, highlighted, and selected colors using values parsed from the configuration.

1. Ensure TMP_InputFieldCanvasTypeSettings is registered in your canvas settings map for TMP_InputField components.
2. Store color values (Primary, Secondary, Highlight) in your configuration file.
3. When ApplySettings is called, the input field's color states will be updated according to the configuration.

// Example usage in a canvas crawler or theming system:
var inputField = myGameObject.GetComponent<TMP_InputField>();
var settings = new TMP_InputFieldCanvasTypeSettings();
settings.ApplySettings(inputField, configuration);

• Store all color values in a configuration file for easy theme changes.
• Use TMP_InputFieldCanvasTypeSettings to centralize and automate TMP input field theming across your UI.
• Register this handler in your canvas settings map to ensure all TMP input fields are themed consistently.
• Extend or override for custom input field behavior or additional color states if needed.
• Validate component types in ApplySettings to avoid runtime errors.
