Hi Everyone,

I’ve recently updated GitHub - CareBoo/Serially: Adds a unity-supported, SerializableType class and an inspector for editing SerializeReference fields. to support the latest unity version (2021.2). It provides tools for polymorphic dependency injection in the editor!

This package adds an inspector to [SerializeReference] fields that lets you inject any type. It also adds a SerializableType class that lets you serialize a persistent type reference! Rename the type, move the type around in your project, and the type reference will remain.

I use [Guid()] to persist the type reference. Just make sure that attribute stays the same and the type reference will remain. During build time, this guid gets converted to an assembly type reference.

This is awesome stuff!
We’re going to be using this in our game. :slight_smile:
The Guid thing doesn’t quite work for me though. I can’t find a reference to a Guid attribute. It just finds the System.Runtime.InteropServices and that’s it.
Perhaps add a “Usages” section to the README in the git repo?
