Detailed Description

Plugin-facing surface for a Shader Graph project item.

The graph is stored as a single JSON document mirroring the schema the web-based Shader Graph editor round-trips with Kanzi Studio; plugins read and write that document directly.

The generated partial of this interface (in GeneratedPluginProjectItemInterfaces.cs) declares the PropertyTypes accessor; this hand-authored partial adds the JSON model accessors. SetModelJson(string) performs structural and semantic validation against the schema (required fields, id consistency, dangling edge endpoints, cycles, output-node count and graph-type match) and rejects the write via ShaderGraphValidationException when any check fails. Catalog-level concerns (whether the node-type IDs and port IDs exist in the editor's node catalog, type-correct edges) are not validated here and surface through the editor's compilation path on the next round-trip.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetModelJson()

string? GetModelJson ( )

Gets the current graph model as a JSON string, or null if no model has been stored yet (e.g.

a freshly created Shader Graph item that has not yet been opened in the editor).

Returns: The graph model JSON, or null.

◆ SetModelJson()

void SetModelJson ( string json )

Replaces the graph model with the supplied JSON document.

The write is wrapped in an undo-able batch (one undo step), and if a Shader Graph editor window is open on this item the host posts a command.replaceGraph into the WebView2 so the editor mirrors the new state immediately.

Parameters

json	A JSON document conforming to the Shader Graph model schema. Must not be `null`.

Exceptions

System.ArgumentNullException	json is `null`.
ShaderGraphValidationException	json is not a well-formed shader graph model document, or fails structural or semantic validation. The thrown instance's ShaderGraphValidationException.Errors list describes every detected problem.

◆ ValidateModelJson()

IReadOnlyList< ShaderGraphValidationError > ValidateModelJson ( string json )

Dry-run validation: parses json and reports every structural or semantic problem it detects, without writing the result back to the project.

Suitable for AI- or plugin-driven authoring loops that want to iterate on a candidate graph before committing.

Parameters

json	The candidate shader graph model JSON. Must not be `null`.

Returns: A possibly-empty list of ShaderGraphValidationError entries. An empty list means the JSON parsed and passed every check the host performs; a write through SetModelJson(string) with the same input will succeed (barring concurrent project mutations). A non-empty list describes the problems that would cause SetModelJson(string) to throw.

Exceptions

System.ArgumentNullException json is null.
