Method Detail

getKeys

@NotNull
@NotNull Set<String> getKeys(boolean deep)

Gets a set containing all keys in this section.

If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys within any child ConfigurationSections (and their children, etc). These will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys of any direct children, and not their own children.

Parameters:

deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.

Returns:

Set of keys contained within this ConfigurationSection.

getValues

@NotNull
@NotNull Map<String,Object> getValues(boolean deep)

Gets a Map containing all keys and their values for this section.

If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys and values within any child ConfigurationSections (and their children, etc). These keys will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys and values of any direct children, and not their own children.

Parameters:

deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.

Returns:

Map of keys and values of this section.

getCurrentPath

@Nullable
@Nullable String getCurrentPath()

Gets the path of this ConfigurationSection from its root Configuration

For any Configuration themselves, this will return an empty string.

If the section is no longer contained within its root for any reason, such as being replaced with a different value, this may return null.

To retrieve the single name of this section, that is, the final part of the path returned by this method, you may use getName().

Returns:

Path of this section relative to its root

getName

@NotNull
@NotNull String getName()

Gets the name of this individual ConfigurationSection, in the path.

This will always be the final part of getCurrentPath(), unless the section is orphaned.

Returns:

Name of this section

getRoot

@Nullable
@Nullable Configuration getRoot()

Gets the root Configuration that contains this ConfigurationSection

For any Configuration themselves, this will return its own object.

If the section is no longer contained within its root for any reason, such as being replaced with a different value, this may return null.

Returns:

Root configuration containing this section.

getParent

@Nullable
@Nullable ConfigurationSection getParent()

Gets the parent ConfigurationSection that directly contains this ConfigurationSection.

For any Configuration themselves, this will return null.

If the section is no longer contained within its parent for any reason, such as being replaced with a different value, this may return null.

Returns:

Parent section containing this section.

getDefaultSection

@Nullable
@Nullable ConfigurationSection getDefaultSection()

Gets the equivalent ConfigurationSection from the default Configuration defined in getRoot().

If the root contains no defaults, or the defaults doesn't contain a value for this path, or the value at this path is not a ConfigurationSection then this will return null.

Returns:

Equivalent section in root configuration

addDefault

void addDefault(@NotNull
                @NotNull String path,
                @Nullable
                @Nullable Object value)

Sets the default value in the root at the given path as provided.

If no source Configuration was provided as a default collection, then a new MemoryConfiguration will be created to hold the new default value.

If value is null, the value will be removed from the default Configuration source.

If the value as returned by getDefaultSection() is null, then this will create a new section at the path, replacing anything that may have existed there previously.

Parameters:

path - Path of the value to set.

value - Value to set the default to.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - Thrown if path is null.

Creates an empty ConfigurationSection at the specified path.

Any value that was previously set at this path will be overwritten. If the previous value was itself a ConfigurationSection, it will be orphaned.

Parameters:

path - Path to create the section at.

Returns:

Newly created section

createSection

@NotNull
@NotNull ConfigurationSection createSection(@NotNull
                                                     @NotNull String path,

Any value that was previously set at this path will be overwritten. If the previous value was itself a ConfigurationSection, it will be orphaned.

Parameters:

path - Path to create the section at.

map - The values to used.

Returns:

Newly created section

              @NotNull String path)

Parameters:

path - Path to check for existence.

Returns:

True if this section contains the requested path, regardless of having a default.

Throws:

Sets the specified path to the given value.

If value is null, the entry will be removed. Any existing entry will be replaced, regardless of what the new value is.

Some implementations may have limitations on what you may store. See their individual javadocs for details. No implementations should allow you to store Configurations or ConfigurationSections, please use createSection(java.lang.String) for that.

Gets the requested List by path, returning a default value if not found.

If the List does not exist then the specified default value will returned regardless of if a default has been identified in the root Configuration.

Returns:

Requested List.

isConfigurationSection

boolean isConfigurationSection(@NotNull
                               @NotNull String path)

Checks if the specified path is a ConfigurationSection.

If the path exists but is not a ConfigurationSection, this will return false. If the path does not exist, this will return false. If the path does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will check if that default value is a ConfigurationSection and return appropriately.

Parameters:

path - Path of the ConfigurationSection to check.

Whether or not the specified path is a ConfigurationSection.

@Nullable
@Nullable ConfigurationSection getConfigurationSection(@NotNull

                          @NotNull Class<T> clazz)

Gets the requested object at the given path. If the Object does not exist but a default value has been specified, this will return the default value.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the requested object

Parameters:

path - the path to the object.

clazz - the type of the requested object

Returns:

Requested object
