FormerlySerializedAsAttribute

Description

Use this attribute to rename a field without losing its serialized value.

Suppose you have a class like this:

using UnityEngine;

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {

	public string myValue;
}

And you would like to create a property to encapsulate myValue without losing any data already assigned to instances of MyClass. You can achieve that by using this attribute:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Serialization;

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {
	[FormerlySerializedAs("myValue")]
	private string m_MyValue;
	public string myValue
	{
		get { return m_MyValue; }
		set { m_MyValue = value; }
	}
}
