</dependencies>
```
You must also add ChestSort to the `depend` or `softdepend` section of your `plugin.yml`.
Note: it is no longer required **nor allowed** to shade the ChestSortAPI into your plugin.
## Accessing the API
Then you can access the API via the plugin manager:
### As `depend`
If you depend on ChestSort, you can easily access the API methods directly:
```java
ChestSort chestSort = (ChestSort) getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("ChestSort");
if(chestSort==null) {
getLogger().severe("Error: ChestSort is not installed.");
return;
import de.jeff_media.chestsort.api.ChestSortAPI;
...
ChestSortAPI.sortInventory(player.getInventory());
```
### As `softdepend`
If you only softdepend on ChestSort, you have to check whether ChestSort is installed. To avoid exceptions, do not import the ChestSortAPI class
in classes that you instantiate regardless of whether ChestSort is installed, but use qualified method calls instead:
```java
if(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("ChestSort") != null) {
de.jeff_media.chestsort.api.ChestSortAPI.sortInventory(player.getInventory());
}
```
Your Listener has to import the ChestSortEvent class, so only register it when ChestSort is installed:
```java
if(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("ChestSort") != null) {
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new MyListener(), yourPlugin);
}
ChestSortAPI chestSortAPI = chestSort.getAPI();
```
### Sorting inventories
@ -47,19 +65,19 @@ ChestSortAPI chestSortAPI = chestSort.getAPI();
Now, you can sort any Inventory! Just like this:
```java
chestSortAPI.sortInventory(Inventory inventory);
ChestSortAPI.sortInventory(Inventory inventory);
```
To sort only specific slots, you can pass slot numbers where to start and end sorting. ChestSort will not modify the inventory outside the given slot range.
```java
chestSortAPI.sortInventory(Inventory inventory, int startSlot, int endSlot);
ChestSortAPI.sortInventory(Inventory inventory, int startSlot, int endSlot);
```
You can also check if a player has automatic sorting enabled or disabled:
```java
boolean sortingEnabled = chestSortAPI.sortingEnabled(Player player);
boolean sortingEnabled = ChestSortAPI.hasSortingEnabled(Player player);
```
### Custom ChestSort event

### Making custom inventories sortable
### Making custom inventories sortable / unsortable
If you create a new Inventory inside your plugin, you can use the `Sortable` class to tell ChestSort that your custom inventory should be sortable.
If you create a new Inventory inside your plugin, you can tell ChestSort whether that inventory should be sortable by ChestSort:
```java
Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(new Sortable(), 9, "Example");
// Make it sortable
ChestSortAPI.setSortable(myInventory);
// or make it not sortable
ChestSortAPI.setUnsortable(myInventory);
```
You can also store another InventoryHolder in the Inventory if needed:
```java
Sortable holder = new Sortable(player)
```
You can also instead use your own custom inventory holder that either `implements ISortable` or `extends Sortable`.
## Example Plugin
Here is a complete example plugin that shows to add and use the ChestSort API: [LINK](https://github.com/JEFF-Media-GbR/ChestSortAPIExample) (OUTDATED: The example plugin still uses API version 2.0.0)

## Javadocs & Source code
- [ChestSortAPI Javadocs](https://repo.jeff-media.de/javadocs/ChestSortAPI). (OUTDATED: The JavaDocs are still on version 2.0.0, I will update it in the next days, sorry for the trouble - contact me on Discord at https://discord.jeff-media.de if you need assistance)
There are more methods you can use, just have a look at the Javadocs.
