Usage

Adding to project

repositories {
    maven ( "https://repo.bluecolored.de/releases" )
}

dependencies {
    implementation("de.bluecolored.bluecommands:bluecommands-core:1.1.3")
    implementation("de.bluecolored.bluecommands:bluecommands-brigadier:1.1.3") // Optional
}

Creating and executing Commands

class MyCommands {
    
    private Command<CommandSender, Object> commands;
    
    public MyCommands() {
        BlueCommands<CommandSender> commandFactory = new BlueCommands<>();
        this.commands = commandFactory.createCommand(this);
    }
    
    public void runCommand(CommandSender sender, String input) {
        
        // parse the command
        ParseResult<CommandSender, Object> parseResult = this.commands.parse(sender, new InputReader(input));
        
        // get the match with the highest priority
        ParseMatch<CommandSender, Object> match = parseResult.getMatches().stream()
                .max(Comparator.comparing(ParseMatch::getPriority))
                .orElse(null);
        
        if (match == null) {
            // handle no command found
            return;
        }

        // execute the command (the result is whatever the command-method returns)
        Object executionResult = match.execute();
        
    }
    
    @Command("foo <arg1> [optionalArg2]")
    public void fooCommand(
          CommandSender sender,
          @Argument("arg1") String stringArgument,
          @Argument("optionalArg2") Double optionalDoubleArgument
    ) {
        // do something
    }
  
}

Creating custom argument-parsers

Example here for creating an argument parser which accepts online Bukkit-Players:

public class PlayerArgument<S> extends SimpleArgumentParser<S, Player> {

    public PlayerArgument() {
        super(false, false);
    }

    @Override
    public Player parse(S context, String name) throws CommandParseException {
        Player player = Bukkit.getPlayerExact(name);
        if (player == null) {
            throw new CommandParseException("'" + name + "' is not an online player!");
        }
        return player;
    }

    @Override
    public List<Suggestion> suggest(S context, InputReader input) {
        return Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers().stream()
                .map(player -> (Suggestion) new SimpleSuggestion(player.getName()))
                .toList();
    }

}

Then register the new Parser before creating your commands:

BlueCommands<CommandSender> commandFactory = new BlueCommands<>();

// register the custom argument-parser
commandFactory.setArgumentParserForArgumentType(Player.class, new PlayerArgument<>());

this.commands = commandFactory.createCommand(this);

Context-Resolver

With context-resolvers you can add other parameters to your command-method that should be resolved from the context.

BlueCommands<CommandSender> commandFactory = new BlueCommands<>();
commandFactory.setContextResolverForType(Server.class, CommandSender::getServer);

Then in a command you can add a Server parameter which will be filled based on the current command-context:

@Command("foo <arg1> [optionalArg2]")
public void fooCommand(
      Server server,
      @Argument("arg1") String stringArgument,
      @Argument("optionalArg2") Double optionalDoubleArgument
) {
    // ...
}

Context-Predicates (e.g. Permissions)

Here an example to create a Permission annotation and use it to validate commands for a context.

Create the new Annotation:

@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Permission {
    String value();
}

Label your commands with this new annotation:

@Command("foo <arg1> [optionalArg2]")
@Permission("foo.bar.bazz")
public void fooCommand(
      CommandSender sender,
      @Argument("arg1") String stringArgument,
      @Argument("optionalArg2") Double optionalDoubleArgument
) {
    // ...
}

Register a context-predicate for this Annotation:

BlueCommands<CommandSender> commandFactory = new BlueCommands<>();
commandFactory.setAnnotationContextPredicate(Permission.class, (permission, commandSender) -> {
    return commandSender.hasPermission(permission.value());
});

When the annotation is present, the command will now only be available if the registered predicate returns true.

Merging commands

You can merge multiple commands into one. E.g. if you have multiple objects that hold command-methods:

BlueCommands<CommandSender> commandFactory = new BlueCommands<>();
Command<CommandSender, Object> root = new Command<>();
root.tryMerge(commandFactory.createCommand(object1));
root.tryMerge(commandFactory.createCommand(object2));
root.tryMerge(commandFactory.createCommand(object3));
