Get variable name from meta object

[sybalos]

Hi!

I'm looking at the reflection system test code and documentation. Is there a way to iterate over an object member variable and get all the variable name (as string) ? I did figure out how to do it with values but not with names. Trough the registered hashed_string maybe ?

I think you are supposed to use the Properties for that.
https://github.com/skypjack/entt/wiki/Crash-Course:-runtime-reflection-system#properties-and-meta-objects
and I am afraid, that you have to name them yourself. I use the dreaded macros for that.

Iterate over meta data members is quite easy actually:

for(auto data: type.data()) {
    // ...
}

As for the variable names, EnTT doesn't attach this kind of information by default. However, you can use a property for that as suggested by @Green-Sky since they're literally meant for that. 👍
