# Unity Extensions
[Extension methods](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_method) for Unity
types. If you find yourself thinking "gee, I wish `GameObject` / `Vector3` /
`Quaternion` had this method," this might be the package for you.
## Installing
Add the package to your project via
[UPM](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-ui.html) using the Git URL:
```
https://github.com/mminer/unity-extensions.git
```
1. Open the Package Manager window in Unity (*Window > Package Manager*)
2. Click the "+" button in the top-left corner
3. Select "Install package from git URL..."
4. Enter the above Git URL
5. Click "Install"
Alternatively, add the following line to your `Packages/manifest.json` file:
```json
{
"dependencies": {
"com.matthewminer.unity-extensions": "https://github.com/mminer/unity-extensions.git",
...
}
}
```
You can also clone the repository and point UPM to your local copy.
## Using
The classes are in the `UnityExtensions` namespace, so you must first import
them.
```csharp
using UnityExtensions;
```
Now call the extensions on the appropriate object type.
```csharp
void Awake ()
{
var someComponent = gameObject.GetOrAddComponent();
}
```
## Extensions
