DataContainerBase

Namespace: Unity.SaveData.Core

---

Summary:

DataContainerBase<T> serves as an abstract base component for storing data of any type T. It is responsible for saving and identifying data managed by SaveDataControl.

Features and Operation:

• Data Identification: Holds an ID to uniquely identify the data.
• Data Storage: Stores and provides access to a value of the specific data type T.
• Automatic Registration: Automatically adds a SaveDataControl component if the component does not exist in the parent.

Properties

Name	Description
_id	The ID used for data identification.
_value	The value of the stored data.
Value	A public property for _value, allowing for getting and setting the data.

Usage Example

• Create a custom component that inherits from DataContainerBase<T> and specify a concrete data type T.
• Add this component to a GameObject in the Unity Editor.
• Set the _id field to uniquely identify the data, and specify the value of the data to be stored in the _value field.
• Use the Value property within scripts to access or modify the stored data.

Additional Notes

• This component is an abstract class and cannot be instantiated directly. To use it, you must create a subclass with a concrete data type T.
• The Reset method is automatically called when the component is added to a GameObject, attempting to auto-register SaveDataControl. This facilitates the process of saving and loading data.

DataContainerBase<T> provides a flexible foundation for efficiently managing and storing data in game development. The customizable data type and automatic management of SaveDataControl simplify data handling, making it a valuable tool for developers.
