This Package provides a simple "Auto Assign" Button that compares the type and name of your fields to the type and name of any child component and assigns them accordingly.

No more time wasted dragging and dropping, reassigning or accidentally messing up the hierarchy.

1. Decorate your class with [AutoAssignable]

   using ERAutoAssign;
   
   [AutoAssignable]
   public class MainMenu: AnimatedMenu
   {
       public Button Play;
       public Button Credits;
       public Button Exit;
       public TextMeshProUGUI VersionText;
   }
   

2. Add the Auto Assign component to the same component.
3. Click on Auto Assign to automatically assign all variables.

If a field cannot be matched with a child it is set to null so the status of the field after pressing "Auto Assign" is clear. To avoid this behaviour decorate the field with [ManualAssign].

[AutoAssignable]
public class MainMenu: AnimatedMenu
{
    public Button Play;
    public Button Credits;
    public Button Exit;
    [ManualAssign]
    public TextMeshProUGUI VersionText;
}
