DataSource Class
Extends MonoBehaviour, IDataSource< TData >
Base class for most concrete IDataSource types.
Conceptually, any type which produces data can be an IDataSource for that data type, but in practice usage is more constrained (though still pervasive throughout the Interaction SDK). Descendent types of this DataSource implementation specifically are also MonoBehaviours; thus, the expectation for descendent types is that they will be long-lived instances which persistently provide data over a period of time, on a schedule specified by UpdateModeFlags but typically tied in some way into MonoBehaviour's built-in update capabilites.
Others
TData
Fields
bool Started[Get]
Indicates whether or not the MonoBehaviour start-up process has completed for this instance.
UpdateModeFlags UpdateMode[Get]
Returns the UpdateModeFlags specifying the circumstances under which the data contained in this instance will be updated.
int CurrentDataVersion[Get]
Implementation of IDataSource.CurrentDataVersion; for details, please refer to the related documentation provided for that interface.
Protected Fields
bool _started[Get]
bool UpdateModeAfterPrevious[Get]
Events
Action InputDataAvailable
Implementation of IDataSource.InputDataAvailable; for details, please refer to the related documentation provided for that interface.
Properties
abstract TData DataAsset[Get]
Returns the current DataAsset, without performing any updates.
Returns
Null if no call to GetData has been made since this data source was initialized.

void InjectAllDataSource
( UpdateModeFlags updateMode,
IDataSource updateAfter )
Injects all required dependencies for a dynamically instantiated DataSource; effectively wraps InjectUpdateMode(UpdateModeFlags) and InjectUpdateAfter(IDataSource).
This method exists to support Interaction SDK's dependency injection pattern and is not needed for typical Unity Editor-based usage.
void InjectUpdateMode
( UpdateModeFlags updateMode )
Sets the UpdateModeFlags for a dynamically instantiated DataSource.
This method exists to support Interaction SDK's dependency injection pattern and is not needed for typical Unity Editor-based usage.
Parameters
updateMode
void InjectUpdateAfter
( IDataSource updateAfter )
Sets the IDataSource to update after for a dynamically instantiated DataSource.
This method exists to support Interaction SDK's dependency injection pattern and is not needed for typical Unity Editor-based usage.
