ResourceImporter
================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

**Inherited By:** :ref:`EditorImportPlugin<class_EditorImportPlugin>`

Base class for the implementation of core resource importers.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

This is the base class for the resource importers implemented in core. To implement your own resource importers using editor plugins, see :ref:`EditorImportPlugin<class_EditorImportPlugin>`.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_ResourceImporter_ImportOrder:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **ImportOrder**:

.. _class_ResourceImporter_constant_IMPORT_ORDER_DEFAULT:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`ImportOrder<enum_ResourceImporter_ImportOrder>` **IMPORT_ORDER_DEFAULT** = ``0``

The default import order.

.. _class_ResourceImporter_constant_IMPORT_ORDER_SCENE:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`ImportOrder<enum_ResourceImporter_ImportOrder>` **IMPORT_ORDER_SCENE** = ``100``

The import order for scenes, which ensures scenes are imported *after* all other core resources such as textures. Custom importers should generally have an import order lower than ``100`` to avoid issues when importing scenes that rely on custom resources.

.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
