EditorResourcePicker
====================

**Inherits:** :ref:`HBoxContainer<class_HBoxContainer>` **<** :ref:`BoxContainer<class_BoxContainer>` **<** :ref:`Container<class_Container>` **<** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

**Inherited By:** :ref:`EditorScriptPicker<class_EditorScriptPicker>`

Godot editor's control for selecting :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` type properties.

Description
-----------

This :ref:`Control<class_Control>` node is used in the editor's Inspector dock to allow editing of :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` type properties. It provides options for creating, loading, saving and converting resources. Can be used with :ref:`EditorInspectorPlugin<class_EditorInspectorPlugin>` to recreate the same behavior.

**Note:** This :ref:`Control<class_Control>` does not include any editor for the resource, as editing is controlled by the Inspector dock itself or sub-Inspectors.

Signals
-------

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_signal_resource_changed:

- **resource_changed** **(** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` resource **)**

Emitted when the value of the edited resource was changed.

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_signal_resource_selected:

- **resource_selected** **(** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` resource, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` edit **)**

Emitted when the resource value was set and user clicked to edit it. When ``edit`` is ``true``, the signal was caused by the context menu "Edit" option.

Property Descriptions

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_property_base_type:

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **base_type**

+-----------+----------------------+
| *Default* | ``""``               |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_base_type(value) |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_base_type()      |
+-----------+----------------------+

The base type of allowed resource types. Can be a comma-separated list of several options.

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_property_editable:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **editable**

+-----------+---------------------+
| *Default* | ``true``            |
+-----------+---------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_editable(value) |
+-----------+---------------------+
| *Getter*  | is_editable()       |
+-----------+---------------------+

If ``true``, the value can be selected and edited.

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_property_edited_resource:

- :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **edited_resource**

+----------+----------------------------+
| *Setter* | set_edited_resource(value) |
+----------+----------------------------+
| *Getter* | get_edited_resource()      |
+----------+----------------------------+

The edited resource value.

| *Setter*  | set_toggle_mode(value) |
+-----------+------------------------+
| *Getter*  | is_toggle_mode()       |

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_can_drop_data_fw:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **can_drop_data_fw** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` data, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` from **)** |const|

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_drop_data_fw:

- void **drop_data_fw** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` data, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` from **)**

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_get_allowed_types:

- :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` **get_allowed_types** **(** **)** |const|

Returns a list of all allowed types and subtypes corresponding to the :ref:`base_type<class_EditorResourcePicker_property_base_type>`. If the :ref:`base_type<class_EditorResourcePicker_property_base_type>` is empty, an empty list is returned.

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_get_drag_data_fw:

- :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` **get_drag_data_fw** **(** :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` position, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` from **)**

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_handle_menu_selected:

- void **handle_menu_selected** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` id **)** |virtual|

This virtual method can be implemented to handle context menu items not handled by default. See :ref:`set_create_options<class_EditorResourcePicker_method_set_create_options>`.

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_set_create_options:

- void **set_create_options** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` menu_node **)** |virtual|

This virtual method is called when updating the context menu of ``EditorResourcePicker``. Implement this method to override the "New ..." items with your own options. ``menu_node`` is a reference to the :ref:`PopupMenu<class_PopupMenu>` node.

**Note:** Implement :ref:`handle_menu_selected<class_EditorResourcePicker_method_handle_menu_selected>` to handle these custom items.

----

.. _class_EditorResourcePicker_method_set_toggle_pressed:

- void **set_toggle_pressed** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` pressed **)**

Sets the toggle mode state for the main button. Works only if :ref:`toggle_mode<class_EditorResourcePicker_property_toggle_mode>` is set to ``true``.

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
