flatbuffers-unity

convenient cross platform way to use flatbuffers for unity:

1. build flatbuffers .net DLL compatible with Unity
2. easy flatc schema code generation using docker container

based on dotnet docker image

Uses latest master commit of flatbuffers

Usage

1. create your schema fbs (schema.fbs)
2. use flatc to generate your code (flatc bin in docker image)
3. grab .net DLL for unity from releases
4. done

example for using flatc

Use:

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/fb gameroasters/flatbuffers-unity:latest /bin/bash -c "cd /fb && \
    flatc -n --gen-onefile schema.fbs && \
    flatc -r --gen-onefile schema.fbs"
    mv schema_generated.rs schema.rs

this will generate a schema.cs and schema.rs with your schema.fbs schema type serialiation in rust and csharp.

extract .dll for unity

use:

make extract-dll

or

docker run -v $(pwd):/dotnet gameroasters/flatbuffers-unity:latest /bin/bash -c "\
    cp /flatbuffers/net/FlatBuffers/bin/Release/FlatBuffers.dll /dotnet && \
    cp /flatbuffers/net/FlatBuffers/bin/Debug/FlatBuffers.dll /dotnet/Flatbuffers.Debug.dll"

this extracts the Flatbuffers.dll
