Add every ScriptableObject to a list?

I am making a item system. I made the inventory. But i can’t seem to figure out how to make a way to add an item by an ID. For instance. A function that takes an ID. And when called. Returns the object with that ID.

Here’s my ScriptableObject:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[CreateAssetMenu]
public class Items : ScriptableObject {

	public Sprite itemSprite;
	public string itemName;
	public int itemId;
}

Have a InventoryManager in your scene that has a script such as this:

public class ItemManager : MonoBehaviour
{
	private Dictionary<int, Items> m_ItemMap = new Dictionary<int, Items>();
	public List<Items> Items;
	
	private void Awake(){
		foreach (var item in Items){
			m_ItemMap.Add(item.itemID, item);
		}
	}
	
	public Items Get(int id){
		return m_ItemMap[id];
	}
}

This will require you to assign the items to the Items list in the inspector. A slightly better way may be to use Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll to find all your Items objects in Awake and put those into the dictionary directly.
