The Scriptable Object Data Editor (SODE) is a tool designed to simplify the management of scriptable objects in Unity projects. It allows you to create an editor window to display scriptable objects in categories, making it easier to create, edit, and manage them. Key features include:
- List scriptable objects in categories/sub-categories
- Search for scriptable objects by name
- Create new scriptable object assets
- Rename, duplicate, and delete scriptable objects
- Select scriptable objects in the inspector
- Find asset location and references in the current scene
- Generate new data editor windows
- Disable specific actions for certain scriptable objects
- Edit multiple scriptable objects at once
- Drag and drop references to fields or lists in the scene
SODE improves your workflow by providing a centralized location for managing scriptable objects, reducing the time spent searching for assets and creating new ones. It's easy to set up and use, and is suitable for beginners and experienced developers alike.
Key differences between SODE and the standard way of creating scriptable objects include:
- No need to include the [CreateAssetMenu] attribute
- Accessible from a custom editor window, rather than the project window
- All instances of scriptable objects are listed in the selected category
SODE is not a scriptable object database and does not run at runtime. It's designed to work within the Unity Editor and is not included in builds. Current limitations include custom editor support and Odin Inspector compatibility.
