Method Detail

as

default <T> T as(Class<T> c)

Attempts to return the Config value as a casted type. If the value cannot be casted it will attempt to return the default value. If the default value is inappropriate for the class, the method will throw a ClassCastException.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the casting class

Parameters:

c - The class type to cast to

Returns:

A casted value, or null if unable to cast. If the passed class parameter is of a primitive type or autoboxed primitive, then a casted value of -1 is returned, or false for booleans. If the passed class parameter is for String, then Object.toString() is called on the value instead

Since:

0.1.0

get

default Object get()

Gets the current object in memory

Returns:

The Object found at the relevant location

Since:

0.1.0

set

default Config set(Object val)

Sets a value in the FileDataType

Parameters:

val - The value to set

Returns:

The previous Config value

Since:

0.1.0

getConfigSectionValue

static Map<String,Object> getConfigSectionValue(Object o)

Returns a Map representative of the passed Object that represents a section of a YAML file. This method neglects the implementation of the section (whether it be ConfigurationSection or just a Map), and returns the appropriate value.

Parameters:

o - The object to interpret

Returns:

A Map representing the section

Since:

0.1.0

retrieve

static <T extends FileDataType> Config retrieve(T file,
                                                Config config)

Retrieves an anonymous value which can utilize a Config parameter to retrieve data from any source

Type Parameters:

T - Represents a FileDataType passed to the method

Parameters:

file - The FileDataType to use

config - The Config value to search with

Returns:

An anonymous class wrapping of the configuration and keys

Since:

0.1.0

fromOther

default Config fromOther(FileDataType t)

Facade method for retrieve(FileDataType, Config)

Parameters:

t - A FileDataType to retrieve this config value from

Returns:

A config value that can be used to retrieve values from

Since:

0.1.0
