Layout collections

Layout collections allow items to be stored that take up more than 1x1 slots. Items could for example take up 3 horizontal slots and 2 vertical slots, totalling at 6 occupied slots.

Layout collection items have to implement the IShapeOwner2D interface to pass 'shape' of the item through to the collection. You can additionally implement your own IShape interface to define the shape of the item.

Note

Layout collections are slower than regular collections because it needs to validate if the item can be fitted with it's larger size. Therefore, if you don't use items with different sizes use the regular Collection instead.

See Collection for additional details.

Example of custom collection

using System;
using Devdog.InventoryPlus.Collections;

public sealed class MyLayoutCollection<TElementType> : LayoutCollection<TElementType>
    where TElementType : IEquatable<TElementType>, IShapeOwner2D, IStackable, IIdentifiable, ICloneable<TElementType>
{
    public MyLayoutCollection(int slotCount, int columnCount)
        : base(slotCount)
    {

    }
}
