(hyper) retrieving and checking whether a value in the config is a color (spigot java)

config.getConfig().isColor("color") the following should read the color value in the config, no?

[dim trail]

We'll need a bit more context then that - what's config? what does getConfig return? what do you mean by is a color? the name of a color? a valid hex?

[balmy sluice]

config retrieves the config.yml file in the plugin "test" folder and has the value "color" in it.

does .isColor only accept hex?

currently listing it in the config.yml with its name

[dim trail]

I'm still not sure what are you trying to do, is config your plugin instance and you're calling getConfig to get a FileConfiguration?

[balmy sluice]

yes

[dim trail]

If so, these methods are usually whatever serializing spigot has for that object type iirc?

Which, in the case of org.bukkit.Color, is

    @NotNull
    public Map<String, Object> serialize() {
        return ImmutableMap.of("RED", this.getRed(), "BLUE", this.getBlue(), "GREEN", this.getGreen());
    }

    @NotNull
    public static Color deserialize(@NotNull Map<String, Object> map) {
        return fromRGB(asInt("RED", map), asInt("GREEN", map), asInt("BLUE", map));
    }

its using bukkit

[dim trail]

As in, bukkit alone o.O? what version are you developing for?

Oh you meant the object is using bukkit

Spigot is an expansion to the Bukkit API basically

They maintain it and expand it as Spigot

(And implement it, ofc)

[balmy sluice]

yeah sorry im not too well-versed with java lingo or java programming for that matter, trying to learn java and apply those learned concepts into a plugin

[balmy sluice]

gotcha

[balmy sluice]

1.19.3

[dim trail]

That's great :D - as to your original question, it looks like these methods just check for whatever serializing Spigot has, so in Color's case, a map with RED GREEN and BLUE keys

[dim trail]

Yeah thought you said you were using bukkit for a second lol

[balmy sluice]

lol

[balmy sluice]

okay gotcha

[balmy sluice]

figured it out

java programming is fun

yay

[fiery pollen]

+> YAY!!!
