## Definition

* **Type:** Constructor
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.CoreModule

## AssetSettingsProvider(string, Func\<Editor>, IEnumerable\<string>)

Creates a new AssetSettingsProvider so you can wrap legacy settings (that is, settings that previously appeared in the Inspector).

```csharp
public AssetSettingsProvider(string settingsWindowPath, Func<Editor> editorCreator, IEnumerable<string> keywords = null)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): Path of the settings in the Settings window. Uses "/" as separator. The last token becomes the settings label if none is provided.**** (\[Func\<Editor>]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.func-1)): Functor creating an [Editor](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/editor.md) able to modify the settings.**** (\[IEnumerable\<string>]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.ienumerable-1)): List of keywords to compare against what the user is searching for. When the user enters values in the search box on the Settings window, [SettingsProvider.HasSearchInterest](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/settingsprovider/hassearchinterest.md) tries to match those keywords to this list.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

// Create a new type of Settings Asset.
class MyCustomSettings : ScriptableObject
{
    public const string k_MyCustomSettingsPath = "Assets/Editor/MyCustomSettings.asset";

        if (settings == null)
        {
            settings = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<MyCustomSettings>();
            settings.m_Number = 42;
            settings.m_SomeString = "The answer to the universe";
            AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(settings, k_MyCustomSettingsPath);
        }

        return new SerializedObject(settings);
    }

        // Register keywords from the properties of MyCustomSettings
        provider.keywords = SettingsProvider.GetSearchKeywordsFromSerializedObject(new SerializedObject(settingsObj));
        return provider;
    }

    [SettingsProvider]
    public static SettingsProvider CreateFromSettingsFromFunctor()
    {
        // Create an AssetSettingsProvider from a functor that must return a UnityEngine.Object:
        var provider = new AssetSettingsProvider("Project/AssetSettings/FromFunctor", () => Editor.CreateEditor(AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<UnityEngine.Object>(MyCustomSettings.k_MyCustomSettingsPath)));
