Unity Dependency Injected Data Architecture

Unity Dependency Injection Architecture Template

Made this boilerplate for my random hobby projects. I will update scripts here as it evolves.

Goal is to create an easy to iterate framework for quick prototyping with future compatibility for production for any game I want to make. I write the code published to this repo first with each iteration and do a quick prototype with it to find the issues with my architecture. My plan is to create a architecture that can deliver following goals with enough iterations.

Fast to implement

• Should work for a variety of games instead of one specific type or category. This is the reason I add features to this template with random prototypes I make. Simplifies the process of coming up with requirements

Performance First

• Infrastructure should establish high performance stanadards by default.

Ease of adding content

• Preferablly assets/data for the game needs to be added in a sustainable way for a small crew to manage.

I have been experimenting with how to optimize prototyping pipleline by creating generic service/data strcutures.

DI Framework : VContainer - https://vcontainer.hadashikick.jp/ Async wrapper : https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask Event Framework : https://github.com/Cysharp/MessagePipe

What is included

#Architecture

• Common registration helper for Services to run all their initialization tasks in paralell
• MessagePipe integration for easy event registraion and handling. (WIP I'm still looking into better ways to implement async events)

Data System

Features

Read Only Data - Once data is loaded, DI system will resolve the same instance accross the application.

• Converts DB objects into a DataId : Data Blob dictionary that get's dequeued as data objects are used. I'm depending on the user class to determine if the data should return to the queue or not.

Runtime Data Loading/Saving

• Any runtime modified object will impement C#'s INotifyPropertyChanged. Usually used for UI bindings to mark the modified state of the object. There's Load / Save events that can be triggerd within scope or for the game lifetime scope to load/save data.
• Data providers covert the type of the data object into a 64 digit string and use that as the mapping to load data blobs from the db.
• There are additional benifits to this, DB can be encrypted if needed.

In Progress

• Examples for all data system use cases
• Event Driven UI Management System
