Description
The EditorReferences property is a list of package identifiers that are used by the current package but do not need to be installed directly. These packages are typically used in the editor environment to enhance functionality or provide additional resources that are not required at runtime. For example, a map package might reference a model package that is automatically included in the manifest, so there is no need to download it separately. However, when working in the editor, it might be beneficial to have these packages available for a more complete development experience.
Usage
Use the EditorReferences property to specify packages that should be available in the editor but are not required for the package to function at runtime. This can help streamline the development process by ensuring that all necessary resources are available when editing or modifying the package in the editor.
Example
// Example of setting EditorReferences in a ProjectConfig
var projectConfig = new ProjectConfig();
projectConfig.EditorReferences = new List<string>
{
"facepunch.modelpackage",
"valve.texturepack"
};
// Accessing the EditorReferences
foreach (var reference in projectConfig.EditorReferences)
{
// Perform actions with each editor reference
Console.WriteLine(reference);
}
