Demo1 Inventories

Examples/Demo1 Inventories/InventoriesDemo.unity

This is the most basic asset example. It shows an inventory without separate game logic, economy, or world integration.

What The Demo Shows

• a simple ItemExampleSO list
• ListInventoryDataBinding<ItemExampleSO, ItemAdapterSoAdapter>
• loading a list into UniversalInventory
• synchronizing UI changes back to data
• local CanStartDrag and CanDrop overrides

How It Is Structured

Main parts:

• ItemExampleSO.cs — item data
• Adapters/ItemAdapterSoAdapter.cs — UI-layer adapter
• DataBindings/ItemsSOInventoryDataBinding.cs — binding between the data list and inventory
• SO/Rules/* — example rule preset

    Data["List<ItemExampleSO>"] <--> Binding["ItemsSOInventoryDataBinding"] <--> UI["UniversalInventory"]

The binding reads the list, creates adapters, and synchronizes changes back into the same list.

How It Works

1. GetItems() returns the items list.
2. ReloadUI() builds the initial UI stacks from that list through CreateAdapter(...). You can call it when data changes to redraw the inventory, but ListInventoryDataBinding does not preserve positions.
3. After a successful transfer, the inventory calls the binding's AddToData(...) and RemoveFromData(...), updating the source list.

The example also shows where to add simple local restrictions:

• CanStartDrag(...) — block dragging from a specific inventory
• CanDrop(...) — block dropping into a specific inventory

When To Use This Example

• you need a first inventory without a complex model
