public class WebChartDataSource : ChartFileDataSourceBase, IChartDataSource

Methods

LoadText()

protected override string LoadText()

Subclasses override to obtain the raw text payload synchronously. Return an empty string to signal “no data”.

Returns

System.String — No return description is available.

LoadTextAsync(CancellationToken)

protected override Task<string> LoadTextAsync(CancellationToken ct)

Async variant. The default implementation invokes ChartGuru.ChartFileDataSourceBase.LoadText on a thread-pool worker. Subclasses with a true async pipeline (UnityWebRequest, file-stream ReadAsync) should override.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ct	System.Threading.CancellationToken

Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task{System.String} — No return description is available.

ParseToTabular(string)

protected override ChartTabularData ParseToTabular(string rawText)

Convert raw text to a ChartGuru.ChartTabularData. Implemented per source (CSV vs JSON).

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rawText	System.String

Returns

ChartGuru.ChartTabularData — No return description is available.

ApplyData()

public override void ApplyData()

Sync entry points (inspector “Fetch Now” button, ApplyData, Refresh) all route through the async pipeline because ChartGuru.WebChartDataSource.LoadText on a network source can’t return a synchronous string. Without this override the inherited ChartGuru.ChartFileDataSourceBase.ApplyData would call ChartGuru.WebChartDataSource.LoadText (returns “”) and silently do nothing.

Load(string)

public void Load(string url)

Set a URL and immediately fetch. Convenience shortcut for Url = …; Refresh();.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
url	System.String

ForceFetch()

public void ForceFetch()

Unconditional fetch — bypasses the ChartGuru.WebChartDataSource.RunInEditMode guard. Used by the inspector “Fetch Now” button so the user can always pull fresh data on demand.

Refresh()

public override void Refresh()

Drive a synchronous load → parse → push cycle. Equivalent to ChartGuru.ChartFileDataSourceBase.ApplyData; provided as a more discoverable alias.

RefreshAsync(CancellationToken)

public override Task RefreshAsync(CancellationToken ct = default)

Async refresh. Loads + parses on a background thread, then marshals the apply step back to the captured Unity main-thread context. Cancellation is honored across each await boundary.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
ct	System.Threading.CancellationToken

Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task — No return description is available.

OnEnable()

protected override void OnEnable()

No description is available for this member.

OnValidate()

protected override void OnValidate()

No description is available for this member.
