extraction.rs

//! Demonstrates different ways of extracting components from the main world to the render world.
//!
//! This is usually done as an intermediary step for transferring data to the GPU, making
//! it accessible inside shaders.  
//!
//! In this example, multiple entities are spawned, each with a different marker component: A, B, C.
//! Each component contains the current elapsed time, updated each frame on the Main World, and is
//! extracted to the render world in a different way.

// The A component is extracted automatically through `ExtractComponentPlugin`. For this,
// it is required to implement `ExtractComponent`. You can do a custom implementation if you wish to
// do a custom extraction instead of just cloning the entire component.

// To be noted that the `SyncToRenderWorld` component, which spawns the corresponding entity on the Render World,
// is automatically added as a requirement through the `ExtractComponentPlugin`.

// and the two will be associated in the Extract schedule through the `RenderEntity` component.
