Detailed Description

template<typename Manifest>
struct ml::Context< Manifest >

Combines AssetsManager, ConfigManager, and StateManager for a manifest into one convenience struct.

Context<Manifest> is the highest-level manifest grouping. It also inherits ManifestAliases so that inner enum types (Images, Fonts, Sounds, State, Flags) are accessible without full qualification.

When to use Context

Use Context when a class or plugin needs both media assets (textures, fonts, sounds) and configuration values (strings, ints, floats, bools):

struct MyContext : public ml::Context<MyManifest>
{
    void setup()
    {
        // Assets
        auto& tex = AssetMgr::get(Images::Background);
        auto& fnt = AssetMgr::get(Fonts::Main);
 
        // Config
        auto& title = ConfigMgr::get(MyManifest::Text::WindowTitle);
    }
};

Choosing the right level

You need	Use
One asset type only	TextureManager / FontManager / SoundManager directly
Multiple media types	AssetsManager<Manifest>
Media + configuration	Context<Manifest> (this struct)

Template Parameters

Manifest

A Manifest subclass declaring the resource and config enums.
