[!WARNING]

bevy_dev_console is currently in its early development stages. Expect breaking changes in the near future (especially when using the built-in command parser). For this reason its only available as a git package at the moment.

Usage

Add the bevy_dev_console git package.

bash
    cargo add --git https://github.com/doonv/bevy_dev_console.git

Import the prelude.

rust
    use bevy_dev_console::prelude::*;


Add the plugins.

rust,no_run
    use bevy::{prelude::*, log::LogPlugin};
    use bevy_dev_console::prelude::*;

App::new() .add_plugins(( // Add the log plugin with the custom log layer DefaultPlugins.set(LogPlugin { custom_layer: custom_log_layer, ..default() }), // Add the dev console plugin itself. DevConsolePlugin, )) .run();`

That should be it! You can now press the ` / ~ key on your keyboard and it should open the console!

`Togglable Features`

(default) builtin-parser` includes the default parser. Disabling this allows you to remove the built-in parser and replace it with your own (or you could do nothing and make the console into a log reader).
