parentType | Type of a class or interface. |
TypeCollection Returns a collection of derived types.
Retrieves a collection of types derived from the T type.
This method provides fast access to all classes loaded in Unity domain assemblies that are derived from a specific class or implement a specific interface. Base class or interface can be a generic.
using UnityEditor;
public class Example { static void ScanAssetPostprocessors() { var extractedTypes = TypeCache.GetTypesDerivedFrom<AssetPostprocessor>(); foreach (var editors in extractedTypes) { //... } } }
Or classes which implement a specific interface.
using UnityEditor;
public interface IExampleInterface {}
public class Example { static void ScanInterfaceImplementers() { var extractedTypes = TypeCache.GetTypesDerivedFrom<IExampleInterface>(); foreach (var editors in extractedTypes) { //... } } }
Note: The returned TypeCollection is read-only and thread-safe.
