# Sandbox.Resources.EmbeddedResource

A JSON definition of an embedded resource. This is a resource that can be either standalone (in a .vtex file) or 
embedded in a GameResource's Json data. 

When it's detected in a GameResource we will create the named compiler and create the resource. When compiling the
GameResource this can optionally create a compiled version of the resource on disk.

When we compile a regular resource that contains this $compiler structure, it operates like any other compile, except
it's totally managed by c# instead of resourcecompiler.

## Properties

- [`CompiledPath`](/api/Sandbox.Resources.EmbeddedResource/CompiledPath): If this resource has been compiled to disk then this is the path to that resource. This avoids the need to generate this resource again.
- [`Data`](/api/Sandbox.Resources.EmbeddedResource/Data): Data that is serialized/deserialized from the ResourceGenerator
- [`ResourceCompiler`](/api/Sandbox.Resources.EmbeddedResource/ResourceCompiler): The name of the ResourceCompiler to use
- [`ResourceGenerator`](/api/Sandbox.Resources.EmbeddedResource/ResourceGenerator): The name of the ResourceGenerator that created this resource. This is basically a sub-compiler.
- [`TypeName`](/api/Sandbox.Resources.EmbeddedResource/TypeName): Sometimes we'll want to embed a child class of a resource
