+///
+/// ## Usage
+///
+/// You can use this resource to retrieve the cursor position:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # use bevy_window::*;
+/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
+/// #
+/// fn my_system(cursor: Res<CursorPosition>) {
+///     if let Some(pos) = cursor.position() {
+///         // Do something
+///     }   
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// If you want both the position and window id you may do:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # use bevy_window::*;
+/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
+/// #
+/// fn my_system(cursor: Res<CursorPosition>) {
+///     if let Some((window_id, pos)) = cursor.0 {
+///         // Do something
+///     }   
+/// }
+/// ```
