ZDataRenderComponent

abstract class ZDataRenderComponent<D : ZComponentData, R : ZComponentRenderer>(data: D) : ZSerializableComponent<D> , ZRenderCapability, ZHasRenderer<R> (source)

Represents an abstract component in the Zernikalos Engine that combines both rendering and serialization capabilities.

This component can be both rendered on screen and serialized to persistent storage, making it ideal for complex objects that need to maintain their visual state across application sessions.

Classes inheriting from this component must define how to create their specific renderer type and provide serializable data.

Type Parameters

The type of the data associated with this component. It must inherit from ZComponentData.

The type of the renderer associated with this component. It must inherit from ZComponentRenderer.

Constructors

constructor(data: D)

Properties

data

override val data: D

Provides access to the component's serializable data.

isInitialized

override val isInitialized: Boolean

Represents a boolean value indicating whether a component has been initialized.

isRenderizable

override val isRenderizable: Boolean

Represents a boolean value indicating whether a component is renderizable.

refId

override val refId: String

Represents the unique identifier for a reference-based component. The refId is used as a distinctive key for retrieving or linking this component within reference-dependent systems.

renderer

override val renderer: R

Provides access to the component's renderer.

Functions

dispose

override fun dispose()

Disposes the component and releases resources. Idempotent: multiple calls are safe. Subclasses with own state to release should override internalDispose.

initialize

open override fun initialize(ctx: ZRenderingContext)

Initializes the ZComponent using the provided ZRenderingContext.
