# API Usage
|
|
|
|
If you want to use ChestSort's advanced sorting features for your own plugin, or if ChestSort causes trouble with your own plugin, you can use the ChestSortAPI. It provides
|
|
- the methods `sortInventory(Inventory inv)` and `sortInventory(Inventory inv, int startSlot, int endSlot)`to sort any given inventory, following the rules you have specified in your ChestSort's config.yml and the corresponding category files
|
|
- a cancellable event called `ChestSortEvent` that is fired whenever ChestSort is about to sort an inventory, that can also be used to change the sorting results
|
|
- the methods `setSortable(Inventory inv)` and `setUnsortable(Inventory inv)` to tell ChestSort whether your custom inventories should be sortable by ChestSort
|
|
|
|
and more, see the Javadocs at the bottom of this page. There's also a link to an example plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Maven repository
|
|
You can use maven to add ChestSort as a dependency to your Spigot-/Bukkit-Plugin:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<repositories>
|
|
<repository>
|
|
<id>jeff-media-public</id>
|
|
<url>https://hub.jeff-media.com/nexus/repository/jeff-media-public/</url>
|
|
</repository>
|
|
</repositories>
|
|
<dependencies>
|
|
<dependency>
|
|
<groupId>de.jeff_media</groupId>
|
|
<artifactId>ChestSortAPI</artifactId>
|
|
<version>13.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
|
|
<scope>provided</scope>
|
|
</dependency>
|
|
</dependencies>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You must also add `ChestSort` (NOT `ChestSortAPI`) 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
|
|
### As `depend`
|
|
If you depend on ChestSort, you can easily access the API methods directly:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```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);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sorting inventories
|
|
|
|
Now, you can sort any Inventory! Just like this:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
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);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also check if a player has automatic sorting enabled or disabled:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
boolean sortingEnabled = ChestSortAPI.hasSortingEnabled(Player player);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom ChestSort event
|
|
|
|
If you want to prevent ChestSort from sorting a certain inventory, you can listen to the ChestSortEvent event.
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
@EventHandler
|
|
public void onChestSortEvent(ChestSortEvent event) {
|
|
if(event.getInventory() == whatever) {
|
|
event.setCancelled(true);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also exempt certain slots / ItemStacks from being sorted using the following methods:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
public void setUnmovable(int slot)
|
|
|
|
public void setUnmovable(ItemStack itemStack)
|
|
|
|
public void removeUnmovable(int slot)
|
|
|
|
public void removeUnmovable(ItemStack itemStack)
|
|
|
|
public boolean isUnmovable(int slot)
|
|
|
|
public boolean isUnmovable(ItemStack itemStack)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, to avoid the first item in the player's hotbar from being sorted:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
@EventHandler
|
|
public void onChestSortEvent(ChestSortEvent event) {
|
|
event.setUnmovable(0);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Making custom inventories sortable / unsortable
|
|
|
|
If you create a new Inventory inside your plugin, you can tell ChestSort whether that inventory should be sortable by ChestSort:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
// Make it sortable
|
|
ChestSortAPI.setSortable(myInventory);
|
|
|
|
// or make it not sortable
|
|
ChestSortAPI.setUnsortable(myInventory);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
