VerticalLayoutGroupCanvasTypeSettings - jimdroberts/FishMMO GitHub Wiki

The VerticalLayoutGroupCanvasTypeSettings class is a canvas type settings handler for Unity's VerticalLayoutGroup component in the FishMMO client. It is designed to provide a hook for applying configuration-based settings to vertical layout groups, though no settings are currently applied by default.

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

  Attempts to cast the component to VerticalLayoutGroup and apply settings from configuration. Currently, no settings are applied by default.

1. Ensure VerticalLayoutGroupCanvasTypeSettings is registered in your canvas settings map for VerticalLayoutGroup components.
2. Extend the class or modify ApplySettings to add custom layout settings as needed.

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

• Use this class as a base for adding custom layout settings to vertical layout groups.
• Register this handler in your canvas settings map to enable future theming or layout adjustments.
• Validate component types in ApplySettings to avoid runtime errors.
• Extend or override for custom layout behavior as your UI requirements evolve.
