template<typename T>
engine::util::AssetManager class

Centralized, templated utility for managing the lifecycle of engine resources.

Uses reference counting (std::shared_ptr/std::weak_ptr) to automatically free assets when they are no longer in use.

Public static functions

static auto Get(const std::string& path) -> std::shared_ptr<T>
Retrieves a reference-counted asset.
static void GarbageCollect()
Clears references to assets that are no longer in use.

Function documentation

template<typename T>
static std::shared_ptr<T> engine::util::AssetManager<T>::Get(const std::string& path)

Retrieves a reference-counted asset.

Parameters
path The path to the asset.
Returns A shared pointer to the asset, or nullptr if loading fails.

If the asset is already in the cache and still alive, it returns it. Otherwise, it calls T::Load(path) to create it.
