What is it

ConfigEditorWindow is a Unity Editor window that edits ScriptableObject assets marked with [ConfigWindow].

How the window is opened

• Double-click a ScriptableObject asset in the Project window.

  • If the asset type has [ConfigWindow], it is opened as Config window.

• You can also open it from editor code via:

  • ConfigEditorWindow.ShowWindow(ScriptableObject asset, Vector2? minSize = null, Vector2? maxSize = null, bool dockable = false)

What the UI looks like

The window is split into two panels:

• Left panel:

  • Search field.

  • A list of configuration sections.

  • Sections can be hierarchical (using / in the section name, e.g. Gameplay/Combat).

  • Parent sections are shown as foldouts and can be expanded/collapsed.

• Right panel:

  • The selected section title.

  • Optional section description (shown under the title).

  • All fields/entities assigned to that section.

Where sections come from

Sections are generated from the target asset members that have [ConfigSection].

• A member without [ConfigSection] is not included in the window sections list.

• If no members with [ConfigSection] exist, the window shows:

  • No configuration sections found. Add fields with ConfigSectionAttribute.

Section paths and hierarchy rules

Section paths are normalized as follows:

• The path is split by /.

• Empty segments are removed.

• Each segment is trimmed.

• The normalized path is re-joined with /.

This normalization is used both for:

• building the section hierarchy (e.g. A/B/C creates A → B → C),

• matching section toolbar buttons declared via [ConfigSectionButton].

Sorting and ordering

Sections are ordered by:

1. Order from [ConfigSection],

2. section name (ordinal string compare).

Section toolbar buttons

Methods on the configuration asset can add buttons to the selected section toolbar via [ConfigSectionButton].

• The method must be:

  • void,

  • parameterless.

• The button belongs to the section path specified in the attribute.

  • The path must match the normalized section path used by [ConfigSection].

• The button label is generated from the method name using Unity nicified formatting.

Window title, icon, and sizing

[ConfigWindow] controls:

• title: window title (fallback is the asset type name),

• IconName: optional Unity editor icon name used for the window title,

• LeftPanelWidth: preferred left panel width,

• Dockable: whether the window is opened as a dockable editor window.

Additionally, ConfigAssetOpener applies:

• [ConfigWindowMinSize(width, height)] → window.minSize,

• [ConfigWindowMaxSize(width, height)] → window.maxSize.

Optional: hide the default inspector

If the asset type has [ConfigHideInspectorEditor(true)], its inspector shows a helper message instead of the default inspector UI:

Double-click on the asset to open the config window.
