public interface IDatatype

An IDatatype is similar to an IArgParser in the sense that it is capable of consuming an argument to transform it into a usable form as the code desires.

A fundamental difference is that an IDatatype is capable of consuming multiple arguments. For example, RelativeBlockPos is an IDatatypePost which requires at least 3 RelativeCoordinate arguments to be specified.

Another difference is that an IDatatype can be tab-completed, providing comprehensive auto completion that can substitute based on existing input or provide possibilities for the next piece of input.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Stream<String>	tabComplete(IDatatypeContext ctx)	Attempts to complete missing or partial input provided through the IArgConsumer} provided by IDatatypeContext.getConsumer() in order to aide the user in executing commands.

Method Details

tabComplete

Stream<String> tabComplete(IDatatypeContext ctx)
                    throws CommandException

Attempts to complete missing or partial input provided through the IArgConsumer} provided by IDatatypeContext.getConsumer() in order to aide the user in executing commands.

One benefit over datatypes over IArgParsers is that instead of each command trying to guess what values the datatype will accept, or simply not tab completing at all, datatypes that support tab completion can provide accurate information using the same methods used to parse arguments in the first place.

Parameters:

ctx - The argument consumer to tab complete

Returns:

A stream representing the strings that can be tab completed. DO NOT INCLUDE SPACES IN ANY STRINGS.

Throws:

CommandException
