Description

An Interface for accessing assets and performing operations on assets.

Static Properties

ActiveRefreshImportModeGets the refresh import mode currently in use by the asset database.
DesiredWorkerCountThe desired number of processes to use when importing assets, during an asset database refresh.
GlobalArtifactDependencyVersionChanges during Refresh if anything has changed that can invalidate any artifact.
GlobalArtifactProcessedVersionChanges whenever a new artifact is added to the artifact database.
onImportPackageItemsCompletedCallback raised whenever a package import successfully completes that lists the items selected to be imported.

Static Methods

AddObjectToAssetAdds objectToAdd to an existing asset at path.
AllowAutoRefreshDecrements an internal counter which Unity uses to determine whether to allow automatic AssetDatabase refreshing behavior.
AssetPathExistsCheck whether an asset exists at the given path in the database.
AssetPathToGUIDGet the GUID for the asset at path.
CanConnectToCacheServerChecks the availability of the Cache Server.
CanOpenAssetInEditorChecks if Unity can open an asset in the Editor.
CanOpenForEditQuery whether an Asset file can be opened for editing in version control and is not exclusively locked by another user or otherwise unavailable.
ClearImporterOverrideClears the importer override for the asset.
ClearLabelsRemoves all labels attached to an asset.
CloseCacheServerConnectionCloses an active cache server connection. If no connection is active, then it does nothing.
ContainsIs object an asset?
CopyAssetDuplicates the asset at path and stores it at newPath.
CopyAssetsDuplicates assets in paths and stores them in newPaths.
CreateAssetCreates a new native Unity asset.
CreateFolderCreates a new folder, in the specified parent folder.The parent folder string must start with the "Assets" folder, and all folders within the parent folder string must already exist. For example, when specifying "Assets/ParentFolder1/Parentfolder2/", the new folder will be created in "ParentFolder2" only if ParentFolder1 and ParentFolder2 already exist.
DeleteAssetDeletes the specified asset or folder.
DeleteAssetsLets you delete multiple assets or folders at once with performance benefits under version control.
DisallowAutoRefreshIncrements an internal counter which Unity uses to determine whether to allow automatic AssetDatabase refreshing behavior.
ExportPackageExports the assets identified by assetPathNames to a unitypackage file in fileName.
ExtractAssetCreates an external Asset from an object (such as a Material) by extracting it from within an imported asset (such as an FBX file).
FindAssetsSearch the asset database using the search filter string.
ForceReserializeAssetsForcibly load and re-serialize the given assets, flushing any outstanding data changes to disk.
ForceToDesiredWorkerCountForces the Editor to use the desired amount of worker processes. Unity will either spawn new worker processes or shut down idle worker processes to reach the desired number.
GenerateUniqueAssetPathCreates a new unique path for an asset.
GetAllAssetBundleNamesReturn all the AssetBundle names in the asset database.
GetAssetBundleDependenciesGiven an assetBundleName, returns the list of AssetBundles that it depends on.
GetAssetDependencyHashReturns the hash of all the dependencies of an asset.
GetAssetOrScenePathReturns the path name relative to the project folder where the asset is stored.
GetAssetPathReturns the path name relative to the project folder where the asset is stored.
GetAssetPathFromTextMetaFilePathGets the path to the asset file associated with a text .meta file.
GetAssetPathsFromAssetBundleReturns an array containing the paths of all assets marked with the specified Asset Bundle name.
GetAssetPathsFromAssetBundleAndAssetNameGet the Asset paths for all Assets tagged with assetBundleName and named assetName.
GetAvailableImportersGets the importer types associated with a given Asset path.
GetCachedIconRetrieves an icon for the asset at the given asset path.
GetCacheServerAddressGets the IP address of the Cache Server in Editor Settings.
GetCacheServerEnableDownloadGets the Cache Server Download option from Editor Settings.
GetCacheServerEnableUploadGets the Cache Server Upload option from Editor Settings.
GetCacheServerNamespacePrefixGets the Cache Server Namespace prefix set in Editor Settings.
GetCacheServerPortGets the Port number of the Cache Server in Editor Settings.
GetCurrentCacheServerIpGets the IP address of the Cache Server currently in use by the Editor.
GetDefaultImporterReturns the Default Importer associated with the asset located at the supplied path. When no Importer override is set, then the default importer is used. Additional resources: AssetDatabase.GetImporterOverride, AssetDatabase.ClearImporterOverride.
GetDependenciesReturns an array of all the assets that are dependencies of the asset at the specified pathName.Note: GetDependencies() gets the Assets that are referenced by other Assets. For example, a Scene could contain many GameObjects with a Material attached to them. In this case, GetDependencies() will return the path to the Material Assets, but not the GameObjects as those are not Assets on your disk.
GetImplicitAssetBundleNameReturns the name of the AssetBundle that a given asset belongs to.
GetImplicitAssetBundleVariantNameReturns the name of the AssetBundle Variant that a given asset belongs to.
GetImporterOverrideReturns the type of the override importer.
GetImporterTypeReturns the type of importer associated with an asset without loading the asset.
GetImporterTypesReturns the types of importers associated with the specified array of assets, without loading those assets.
GetLabelsReturns all labels attached to a given asset.
GetMainAssetTypeAtPathReturns the type of the main asset object at assetPath.
GetMainAssetTypeFromGUIDReturns the type of the main asset object with guid.
GetScriptableObjectsWithMissingScriptCountChecks how many unloadable ScriptableObject instances are present in the specified asset.
GetSubFoldersGiven a path to a directory in the Assets folder, relative to the project folder, this method will return an array of all its subdirectories.
GetTextMetaFilePathFromAssetPathGets the path to the text .meta file associated with an asset.
GetTypeFromPathAndFileIDGets an object's type from an Asset path and a local file identifier.
GetUnusedAssetBundleNamesReturn all the unused assetBundle names in the asset database.
GUIDFromAssetPathGet the GUID for the asset at path.
GUIDToAssetPathGets the corresponding asset path for the supplied GUID, or an empty string if the GUID can't be found.

ImportPackageImports package at packagePath into the current project.
InstanceIDsToGUIDsSets a NativeArray of UnityEditor.GUIDs for every valid Instance ID that is an asset.
IsCacheServerEnabledChecks whether the Cache Server is enabled in Project Settings.
IsConnectedToCacheServerChecks connection status of the Cache Server.
IsDirectoryMonitoringEnabledReports whether Directory Monitoring is enabled.
IsForeignAssetDetermines whether the Asset is a foreign Asset.

RefreshImport any changed assets.
RefreshSettingsApply pending Editor Settings changes to the Asset pipeline.
RegisterCustomDependencyAllows you to register a custom dependency that Assets can be dependent on. If you register a custom dependency, and specify that an Asset is dependent on it, then the Asset will get re-imported if the custom dependency changes.
ReleaseCachedFileHandlesCalling this function will release file handles internally cached by Unity. This allows modifying asset or meta files safely thus avoiding potential file sharing IO errors.
RemoveAssetBundleNameRemove the assetBundle name from the asset database. The forceRemove flag is used to indicate if you want to remove it even it's in use.
RemoveObjectFromAssetRemoves object from its asset (Additional resources: AssetDatabase.AddObjectToAsset).

SetLabelsReplaces that list of labels on an asset.

TryGetAssetFolderInfoGet AssetDatabase specific information about a folder.
TryGetGUIDAndLocalFileIdentifierGet the GUID and local file id from an object instance id.
UnregisterCustomDependencyPrefixFilterRemoves custom dependencies that match the prefixFilter.
