Is there any way to test to see if the project is uing the URP/HDRP?

Question

I'm creating an editor script that creates materials from textures, I use something like:

Material mat = new Material(Shader.Find("Standard"));

However if the user is using URP or HDRP then I need to use:

Material mat = new Material(Shader.Find("Universal Render Pipeline/Lit"));

Is there some way I can do a check to see if they are using the URP/HDRP?

You can get the name of the active RenderPipelineAsset with

UnityEngine.Rendering.GraphicsSettings.renderPipelineAsset.GetType().Name

For the Universal Render Pipeline for example this is "UniversalRenderPipelineAsset". If no scriptable render pipeline is used then renderPipelineAsset should be null.

Note that you can get the default shader and default material for the current render pipeline using

UnityEngine.Rendering.GraphicsSettings.renderPipelineAsset.defaultMaterial

and

UnityEngine.Rendering.GraphicsSettings.renderPipelineAsset.defaultShader

@Snowdrama Here is a decent approach using Assembly Definitions (.asmdef's): https://forum.unity.com/threads/hdrp-lwrp-detection-from-editor-script.540642/#post-7901968
