## Overview

### Concept and Features

In general, many debug commands are created during game development, and the number of them increases as development progresses.

As a result, it becomes difficult to find the desired command, which in turn leads to a decrease in development efficiency.

**Unity Debug Sheet** allows you to easily create a debug menu with a hierarchical structure.

Its GUI can be easily and intuitively controlled by anyone, especially on mobile platforms.



  



Of course, it also supports vertical layout.



  



Adding debug commands is also easy.

```cs

// Label

AddLabel("Example Label");

//　Button

AddButton("Example Button", clicked: () => { Debug.Log("Clicked"); });

// Switch

AddSwitch(false, "Example Switch", valueChanged: x => Debug.Log($"Changed: {x}"));

// Slider

AddSlider(0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f, "Example Slider", valueChanged: x => Debug.Log($"Value Changed: {x}"));

```

### Demo

You can try the demo by cloning `this repository itself and playing the demo scenes.

The following demo scenes are av`ailable.

**Character Viewer: CharacterViewerDemo.unity**

This demo allows you to switch between character models, motions, etc. from the debug menu.

It also include samples that integrate with other libraries such as [Graphy](https://github.com/Tayx94/graphy) and [In-Game Debug Console](https://github.com/yasirkula/UnityIngameDebugConsole) to monitor performance.



  



**Default Cells: DefaultCellsDemo.unity**

This demo allows you to check the behavior of all the cells (generic name for items such as button, labels, and sliders, etc.) that are included in this library by default.



  



**Custom Cells: CustomCellsDemo.unity**

In addition to the default cells, you can create your own custom cells.

This demo shows how to create custom cells.



  



**Entry Scene: DemoEntry.unity**

The above three scenes can also be transitioned from the this scene.

You can see how the debug sheet placed in each scene behaves as singleton.

## Setup

### Requirements

This tool is compatible with the following environments.

- Unity 2020.3 or later

### Installation

You can install this library by the steps below.

1. Select **Window > Package Manager** from the menu bar.

2. Click the **+** button in the upper left corner of the window and select **Add package from git URL...**.

3. Enter the following URL in the input field and click **Add**.

```

https://github.com/Haruma-K/UnityDebugSheet.git?path=/Assets/UnityDebugSheet

```



  



Or, you can also install by adding the following line to the `dependencies` block of `manifest.json` file in the `Packages` folder.

```json

{

  "dependencies": {

    "com.harumak.unitydebugsheet": "https://github.com/Haruma-K/UnityDebugSheet.git?path=/Assets/UnityDebugSheet"

  }

}

```

If you want to specify the version, you can do so by adding the version number to the end of the URL.

```

https://github.com/Haruma-K/UnityDebugSheet.git?path=/Assets/UnityDebugSheet#1.0.0

```

You can update the version by changing the version number above.  

If you do not specify the version, you can update it by opening the file `Packages/package-lock.json` and rewriting the hash of this library.

```json

{

  "dependencies": {

      "com.harumak.unitydebugsheet": {

      "version": "https://github.com/Haruma-K/UnityDebugSheet.git?path=/Assets/UnityDebugSheet",

      "depth": 0,

      "source": "git",

      "dependencies": {},

      "hash": "..."

    }

  }

}

```

## Quick Start

This section shows an easy way to set up and use the Unity Debug Sheet.

### Place the prefab in the scene

First, drag and drop the prefab named **DebugSheetCanvas** to **Hierarchy** window to place it in the scene.

And if **EventSystem** not exists, create it.



  



### Create the debug page

Next, create a page for debugging.

Create the page by inheriting from `DefaultDebugPageBase` as shown below.  

The following is an example page with a single button that logs **Clicked** when clicked.

```cs

using System.Collections;

using UnityDebugSheet.Runtime.Core.Scripts;

using UnityEngine;

public sealed class ExampleDebugPage : DefaultDebugPageBase

{

    protected override string Title { get; } = "Example Debug Page";

    public override IEnumerator Initialize()

    {

        // Add a button to this page.

        AddButton("Example Button", clicked: () => { Debug.Log("Clicked"); });

        yield break;

    }

}

```

### Add a link to the debug page.

Next, add a link to transition to the debug page created above.  

Get the root page and add a link button to it as shown below.

```cs

using UnityDebugSheet.Runtime.Core.Scripts;

using UnityEngine;

public sealed class DebugSheetController : MonoBehaviour

{

    private void Start()

    {

        // Get or create the root page.

        var rootPage = DebugSheet.Instance.GetOrCreateInitialPage();

        // Add a link transition to the ExampleDebugPage.

        rootPage.AddPageLinkButton(nameof(ExampleDebugPage));

    }

}

```

> **NOTE**

> If you want to use your own page as the root page instead of linking as above, use `Initialize()` instead of `GetOrCreateInitialPage().AddPageLinkButton

  

This behavior can be changed from the **Flick To Open** on the **Debug Sheet** component.  

You can enable only the left or right side of the screen, or disable flick operation.



  



> **Warning**

> In the Unity editor, this range is not necessarily 6mm because it simulate the resolution of the actual device.

> It is recommended to also use the operation with keyboard shortcuts described below.

You can also open and close the debug menu by pressing the button.

To do this, set the click area from **Click To Open** on the **Debug Sheet** component.

You can set the number of times you need to click in a row to open it in **Click Count To Open**.



  



You can use keyboard shortcuts to open and close the debug menu.

In default, **Control (Command on Mac) + Shift + D** toggles the debug menu.

Shortcuts can be freely changed from **Keyboard Shortcut** on the **Debug Sheet** component.



  



And you can also open/close the debug menu from your script as below.

```cs

// These scripts are attached on the GameObject "DebugSheetCanvas > Drawer".

StatefulDrawer drawer;

StatefulDrawerController drawerController;

// Toggle debug sheet.

var isClosed = Mathf.Approximately(drawer.Progress, drawer.MinProgress);

var targetState = isClosed ? DrawerState.Max : DrawerState.Min;

drawerController.SetStateWithAnimation(targetState);

```

### Result

With the implementation up to this point, you can confirm that the debug menu works as follows.



  



## Basic Usage

This section describes the basic usage of the Unity Debug Sheet.

The Quick Start section is the prerequisite, so please read it first.

### List of Available Cells

In default, you can use the following cells.

| Cell Name | Method Name to Add | Description |

| --- | --- | --- |

| Label | AddLabel | Used to display strings. |

| Button | AddButton | Used to trigger actions when clicked. |

| InputField | AddInputField | Used to input text. |

| Switch | AddSwitch | Used to switch ON and OFF. |

| Slider | AddSlider | Used to specify a numerical value within a range. |

| Picker | AddPicker | Used to select one of several options. |

| Enum Picker | AddEnumPicker | Used to select one of the elements of the enum. |

| Multi Picker | AddMultiPicker | Used to select more than one from multiple options. |

| Enum Multi Picker | AddEnumMultiPicker | Used to select more than one from the elements of the enum. |

| Search Field | AddSearchField | Used to display the search field. |

| Page Link Button | AddPageLinkButton | Used to transition to the other debug pages when clicked. |

| Button Collection | AddButtonCollection | Use when you want to display many small buttons. |

You can check the behavior of each cell by playing the [Default Cells Demo Scene](Assets/Demo/02_DefaultCells/Scenes/DefaultCellsDemo.unity).

You can also create your own cells.

See the Custom Cells section for more information about this.

### List of Available Pages

You can use the following pages in default.

| Class Name | Description |

| --- | --- |

| DebugPage | Page with methods for adding default cells. |

| FloatingButtonPage | Page with a floating button at the bottom. If you need to a button, such as a "Submit" button, you can use this page. |

| DefaultDebugPageBase | Base class for the debug page that has methods for adding default cells. It is an abstract class, so you need to inherit it to use. |

| DebugPageBase | Base class for the debug page. It is an abstract class, so you need to inherit it to use. |

### Update the cell contents

Using **CellModel**, you can update the contents of the cell that has been generated.

The following is an example of renaming a generated button each time the **Space** key is pressed.

Please refer to the comments for details.

```cs

using System.Collections;

using UnityDebugSheet.Runtime.Core.Scripts;

using UnityDebugSheet.Runtime.Core.Scripts.DefaultImpl.Cells;

using UnityEngine;

public sealed class ExampleDebugPage : DefaultDebugPageBase

{

    private int _buttonCellIndex;

    private ButtonCellModel _buttonCellModel;

    private int _counter;

    protected override string Title => "Example Debug Page";

    public override IEnumerator Initialize()

    {

        // Create the CellModel and set data and events.

        var buttonCellModel = new ButtonCellModel(false);

        buttonCellModel.CellTexts.Text = GetButtonName();

        buttonCellModel.Clicked += () => { Debug.Log("Clicked"); };

        

        // Keep the index of the cell and the CellModel.

        _buttonCellIndex = AddButton(buttonCellModel);

        _buttonCellModel = buttonCellModel;

        

        yield break;

    }

    private void Update()

    {

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))

        {

            // Update the cell data

            _counter++;

            _buttonCellModel.CellTexts.Text = GetButtonName();

            

            // Refresh the target cell.

            RefreshDataAt(_buttonCellIndex);

            

            // You can also refresh all data by calling RefreshData().

            //RefreshData();

        }

    }

    private string GetButtonName()

    {

        return $"Example Button {_counter}";

    }

}

```

### Workflow in multiple scenes

In default, **DebugSheetCanvas** is used as a singleton.

That is, if **DebugSheetCanvas** is placed in two scenes, the one instantiated first will be used and the one loaded later will be destroyed.

In this case, initialization should be only be done on the first `DebugSheet`.

If the order of scene loading is not guaranteed, you can use `DebugSheet.GetOrCreateInitializePage()` to get a page that has already been initialized, if any, and initialize it.

Please refer to the **DemoEntry** scene for the workflow in multiple scenes.

Note that if you do not want to use it as singleton, you can do it by unchecking **Singleton** in the **DebugSheet** component.



  



### Exclude from the release builds

You should exclude **GameObject**, script files, and resources files related to the debug menu from the release builds.

You can exclude all scripts of the **Unity Debug Sheet** by adding **EXCLUDE_UNITY_DEBUG_SHEET** to the **Scripting Define Symbols** in the **Player Settings**.

Thus, if you enclose all your own code that accesses the **Unity Debug Sheet** with `#if EXCLUDE_UNITY_DEBUG_SHEET`, you can exclude all the code from the release builds.

It may also be a good idea to combine your own scripts that accesses the **Unity Debug Sheet** into a single assembly and set **Define Constraints** in the **asmdef**.

In addition, you can completely exclude the debug menu from your build by doing the following.

- Delete the **Resources** folder containing the debug menu resources if you have created.

- Delete the **GameObject** containing the **DebugSheet** component in your scenes.

### Custom Cells

To create your own cell, first create a component that inherits from **Cell** and a model that inherits from **CellModel** to set data to it.

```cs

using UnityDebugSheet.Runtime.Core.Scripts;

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.UI;

public sealed class CustomTextCell : Cell

{

    [SerializeField] private Text _text;

    [SerializeField] private LayoutElement _layoutElement;

    private const int Padding = 36;

    protected override void SetModel(CustomTextCellModel model)

    {

        _text.text = model.Text;

        _text.color = model.Color;

        _layoutElement.preferredHeight = _text.preferredHeight + Padding;

    }

}

public sealed class CustomTextCellModel : CellModel

{

    public string Text { get; set; }

    

    public Color Color { get; set; } = Color.black;

}

```

Then, create a GUI, attach this component to it, and make it a prefab.

Due to the implementation of the cell recycling system, the following points should be taken into account when implementing the cell.

- Attach a **Layout Element** to the root **GameObject** and input a height in the **Preferred Height** property.

- Set the width of the cell to a fixed value.

Next, set this cell to **Cell Prefabs** on the **Debug Sheet**.



  



All that remains is to add this cell to the page.

Please refer to [the demo scene of the custom cells](Assets/Demo/03_CustomCells/Scenes/CustomCellsDemo.unity) for the actual implementation.

## Advanced Usage

### Use async methods instead of coroutines

You can also use asynchronous methods instead of coroutines to define lifecycle events of debug page, as shown below.

```cs

using UnityDebugSheet.Runtime.Core.Scripts;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class SomePage : DefaultDebugPageBase

{

    protected override string Title => "Some Page";

    // Using asynchronous methods to define lifecycle events

    public override async Task Initialize()

    {

        await Task.Delay(100);

    }

}

```

To use asynchronous methods, add `Scripting Define Symbols` in the following steps.

* Player Settings > Other Settings

* Add `UDS_USE_ASYNC_METHODS` to `Scripting Define Symbols`.

Note that `Scripting Define Symbols` needs to be set for all platforms.

### Hide Backdrop

In default, the black GUI is displayed as the backdrop of the debug menu.

You can hide it if you want by deactivating the **GameObject** of **DebugSheetCanvas > Backdrop**.



  



### Don't close the debug menu when the backdrop is clicked

In default, the debug menu is closed when the backdrop is clicked.

You can disable this behavior by unchecking **Close When Backdrop Clicked** in the **Stateful Drawer Backdrop Controller** component attached to the **DebugSheetCanvas > Drawer**.



  



### Change the Show/Hide animations

You can change the Show/Hide animations by changing the **AnimationDuration** and **AnimationCurve** properties in the **Stateful Drawer** component attached to the **DebugSheetCanvas > Drawer**.



  



### Work within the safe area

By default, the debug menu appears from outside the screen, and is placed outside the screen when it is hidden.

You can work it within the safe area by checking **Move Inside Safe Area** property in the **Debug Sheet Drawer** component attached to the **DebugSheetCanvas > Drawer**.



  



### Change the min/max size of the debug menu

You can also change the min/max size of the debug menu.

If you changed this, it can always be displayed at the bottom of the screen, even when minimized, as shown below, for example.



  



To change the size of each state, edit the properties of the **Debug Sheet Drawer** attached to **Debug Sheet Canvas > Drawer**.

Adjust the **Min's Progress** to change the size shen minimized and *Size* to change the size when maximized.

**Middle** is the middle size applied when held vertically.



  



You can apply and check the size of each state by clicking **Set State** button in **Debug** area.



  



### Customize the look

Unity Debug Sheet consists of uGUI, so you can freely customize the look by adjusting the properties.

- Color of the back and close buttons

- Color of the backdrop

- Text color of the title

The design of each cell can be freely customized by creating a custom cell.

See the Custom Cells section for more information on this.

### Pop multiple screens at once

You can pop multiple pages at once.

To do this, specify the number of pages to be popped in the second argument of `DebugSheet.PopPage()`.

```cs

DebugSheet debugSheet;

debugSheet.PopPage(true, 2);

```

You can also specify the destination `PageID`.

`PageID` can be obtained using the `onLoad` callback of `PushPage()` as shown below.

```cs

DebugSheet debugSheet;

debugSheet.PushPage(true, onLoad: x =>

{

    var pageId = x.pageId;

});

```

In addition, you can specify any ID by specifying the `pageId` argument of `PushPage()`.

```cs

DebugSheet debugSheet;

debugSheet.PushPage(true, pageId: "MyPageId");

```

In addition, for the pages that are skipped when popping multiple pages, the lifecycle events before and after transition will not be called, only the event before destroying will be called.

And the transition animation of the skipping pages will not be played.

### Extending Built-in Cell Prefabs

You can extend built-in cell prefabs such as LabelCell and ButtonCell by following the steps below:

1. Create a Prefab Variant of the built-in Prefab and make any desired modifications.

2. Ensure the name of this Prefab is the same as the original Prefab.

3. Set this Prefab in the **Cell Prefabs** of the **Debug Sheet** component.
