Package2Folder

Unity Editor extension that allows you to import custom packages into the selected Project folder, avoiding your project's root bloating.

Description

This Unity Editor extension allows you to import custom package into the selected Project folder. It also has public API to let you run package import to folder from your scripts:

CodeStage.PackageToFolder.Package2Folder.ImportPackageToFolder();

See detailed API description in code.

Installation

Option 1: Unity Package Manager (Git URL)

1. Open the Package Manager in Unity (Window > Package Manager)
2. Click the + button in the top-left corner
3. Select Add package from git URL...
4. Enter: https://github.com/Code-Stage/Package2Folder.git
5. Click Add

Option 2: Unity Package (Legacy)

Download the latest .unitypackage file from the Releases section and import it into your project.

Option 3: Unity Asset Store

Import from the Unity Asset Store.

How to use

Option A: Via right-click menu (select folder first)

1. In the Project window, select the folder where you want to import a package
2. Use the menu item: Assets > Import Package > Here...
3. Select the .unitypackage file you want to import
4. The package will be imported into the selected folder instead of the project root

Option B: Via companion window (any import method)

Whenever Unity's import dialog opens — whether from Package Manager > My Assets, drag-and-drop, or the Assets menu — a small Package2Folder utility window automatically appears next to it:

1. Trigger a .unitypackage import from any source (e.g. Package Manager "My Assets" tab)
2. In the companion window that appears, click "Import to Folder..."
3. Select the target folder under Assets/
4. The import dialog updates to show the new destination paths
5. Click Import in the import dialog as usual

Public API

The package exposes a public API that allows you to import packages programmatically:

using CodeStage.PackageToFolder;

// Import package interactively (shows import dialog)
Package2Folder.ImportPackageToFolder(packagePath, targetFolderPath, true);

// Import package silently
Package2Folder.ImportPackageToFolder(packagePath, targetFolderPath, false);
