Warning! Very basic, very opinionated, rough edges everywhere!
This project is written to work for me and my ideas, it might not suite your needs.
A plugin to use an archive file for your assets in your Bevy projects.
It builds on vach for the archive format which provides compression and encryption.
Both of those features are non-negotiatable defaults in BVA.

As mentioned compression and encryption (plus signing) are enabled by default. This does come with performance hits compared to native direct asset loading. There are no benchmarks, but asset loading performance is not a goal right now.
It should work for WASM as a target, but only if the public/verifiying key and the archive are provides as byte arrays to the plugin. Thus the best way is to embed the assets archive into the binary, making it quite similar to directly embed the assets with bevy_embedded_assets. The difference is that the embedded archive still benefits from the compression and encryption, making it harder to inspect the binary for asset data.
- bevy_assets_bundler — great predecessor, but it sadly fell behind bevy's fast pace
- bevy_embedded_assets — basic structure used to build this plugin
The bva_cli package provides a helper program (bva executable) to quickly generate keys and archive the assets.
Note: vach also provides a CLI, but bva is tailored to work with your Bevy project and the bevy_vach_assets plugin.
