# Objective `AsBindGroup` can't be used as a trait object because of the constraint `Sized` and because of the associated function. This is a problem for [`bevy_atmosphere`](https://github.com/JonahPlusPlus/bevy_atmosphere) because it needs to use a trait that depends on `AsBindGroup` as a trait object, for switching out different shaders at runtime. The current solution it employs is reimplementing the trait and derive macro into that trait, instead of constraining to `AsBindGroup`. ## Solution Remove the `Sized` constraint from `AsBindGroup` and add the constraint `where Self: Sized` to the associated function `bind_group_layout`. Also change `PreparedBindGroup<T: AsBindGroup>` to `PreparedBindGroup<T>` and use it as `PreparedBindGroup<Self::Data>` instead of `PreparedBindGroup<Self>`. This weakens the constraints, but increases the flexibility of `AsBindGroup`. I'm not entirely sure why the `Sized` constraint was there, because it worked fine without it (maybe @cart wasn't aware of use cases for `AsBindGroup` as a trait object or this was just leftover from legacy code?). --- ## Changelog - `AsBindGroup` can be used as a trait object.

Objective
AsBindGroupcan't be used as a trait object because of the constraintSizedand because of the associated function.This is a problem for
bevy_atmospherebecause it needs to use a trait that depends onAsBindGroupas a trait object, for switching out different shaders at runtime. The current solution it employs is reimplementing the trait and derive macro into that trait, instead of constraining toAsBindGroup.Solution
Remove the
Sizedconstraint fromAsBindGroupand add the constraintwhere Self: Sizedto the associated functionbind_group_layout. Also changePreparedBindGroup<T: AsBindGroup>toPreparedBindGroup<T>and use it asPreparedBindGroup<Self::Data>instead ofPreparedBindGroup<Self>.This weakens the constraints, but increases the flexibility of
AsBindGroup.I'm not entirely sure why the
Sizedconstraint was there, because it worked fine without it (maybe @cart wasn't aware of use cases forAsBindGroupas a trait object or this was just leftover from legacy code?).Changelog
