/// Operation to map all contained [`Entity`] fields in a type to new values.
///
/// As entity IDs are valid only for the [`World`] they're sourced from, using [`Entity`]
/// as references in components copied from another world will be invalid. This trait
/// allows defining custom mappings for these references via [`EntityMappers`](EntityMapper), which
/// inject the entity mapping strategy between your `MapEntities` type and the current world
/// (usually by using an [`EntityHashMap<Entity>`] between source entities and entities in the
/// current world).
///
/// Implementing this trait correctly is required for properly loading components
/// with entity references from scenes.
///
/// ## Example
///
/// ```
/// use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// use bevy_ecs::entity::MapEntities;
///
/// #[derive(Component)]
/// struct Spring {
///     a: Entity,
///     b: Entity,
/// }
///
/// impl MapEntities for Spring {
///     fn map_entities<M: EntityMapper>(&mut self, entity_mapper: &mut M) {
///         self.a = entity_mapper.map_entity(self.a);
///         self.b = entity_mapper.map_entity(self.b);
///     }
/// }
/// ```
pub trait MapEntities {
    /// Updates all [`Entity`] references stored inside using `entity_mapper`.
    ///
    /// Implementors should look up any and all [`Entity`] values stored within `self` and
    /// update them to the mapped values via `entity_mapper`.
    fn map_entities<M: EntityMapper>(&mut self, entity_mapper: &mut M);

/// An implementor of this trait knows how to map an [`Entity`] into another [`Entity`].
///
/// Usually this is done by using an [`EntityHashMap<Entity>`] to map source entities
/// (mapper inputs) to the current world's entities (mapper outputs).
///
/// More generally, this can be used to map [`Entity`] references between any two [`Worlds`](World).
///
/// ## Example
///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::entity::{Entity, EntityMapper};
/// # use bevy_ecs::entity::EntityHashMap;
/// #
/// pub struct SimpleEntityMapper {
///   map: EntityHashMap<Entity>,
/// }
///

/// // in the underlying `EntityHashMap`, otherwise we just return the original entity.
/// impl EntityMapper for SimpleEntityMapper {

///         self.map.get(&entity).copied().unwrap_or(entity)
///     }
