RequiredAttribute

Use this if you want to warn your users about variables that have not been initialized.

Especially useful if you work with forgetful people! :)

Getting Started

For a quick import into an existing project, just get the UnityPackage.

The RequiredAttribute folder is an empty project with only the plugin imported and some examples! :)

Code Usage

[Required]
public int myInt; // Works with any type

[Required]
public Vector3 testDefault; // I said, ANY type!

[Required]
public Vector3 testInitialized = Vector3.one; // Once it has been initialized, the color disappears

public MyClass myClass; // Works with custom types!

    
[System.Serializable]
public class MyClass
{
    [Required("40FF40")] // Define any color with its hex code!
    public GameObject myPrefab;
}

Going further...

We could do many things on top of this.

For example:

An option to specify a different default value than the type of the variable.
An option to block the PlayMode, or even to prevent from building the game, if a variable has its default value.
