GameLovers GameData

Typed game configuration, observable state, controlled JSON serialization, deterministic floatP math, and Editor data tools for Unity 6.

Use GameData when game data needs typed lookup, Inspector authoring, change notifications, migration, or controlled JSON serialization. It is pipeline-neutral. It does not provide network synchronization, persistence transport, retries, or a backend API.

Add this released package to Packages/manifest.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.gamelovers.gamedata": "https://github.com/CoderGamester/Unity-GameData.git#1.0.3"
  }
}

Unity resolves the package's registry dependencies (Newtonsoft.Json, TextMeshPro, and the performance test framework) from its manifest. The latter two are currently included in the resolved graph; do not describe the install as dependency-free.

Register keyed and singleton configuration data, then retrieve it by its declared type:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using GameLovers.GameData;

var provider = new ConfigsProvider();
provider.AddConfigs(item => item.Id, new List<ItemConfig>
{
    new() { Id = 1, Name = "Potion" }
});

ItemConfig potion = provider.GetConfig<ItemConfig>(1);

Choose either a keyed collection or a singleton configuration for a type. Duplicate registrations are errors; validate the authored data before shipping.

EnumSelector stores enum names, so numeric reordering survives; renaming or deleting a member does not. Check HasValidSelection before relying on the selected value.

Register allowed types before deserializing any untrusted input. TrustedOnly is appropriate only when the payload is wholly trusted. Secure avoids type metadata and is serialize-only; it is not a transport or authentication layer.

var serializer = new ConfigsSerializer();
serializer.RegisterAllowedTypes(new[] { typeof(ItemConfig) });

Tools live under Tools/GameLovers/Game Data/, including Config Browser and Observable Debugger.

Import a sample from Package Manager and read its local README before assuming a migration or UI update happens in one callback; collection changes can produce distinct final callbacks.

Read CHANGELOG.md, open an issue, and contribute through the repository. The package is MIT licensed; see LICENSE.md.
