  • Method Details

    • configuration

      @NotNull public FileConfiguration configuration()
      Description copied from class: ConfigurationOptions
      Returns the Configuration that this object is responsible for.
      Overrides:
      configuration in class MemoryConfigurationOptions
      Returns:
      Parent configuration
    • copyDefaults

      @NotNull public FileConfigurationOptions copyDefaults(boolean value)
      Description copied from class: ConfigurationOptions
      Sets if the Configuration should copy values from its default Configuration directly.

      If this is true, all values in the default Configuration will be directly copied, making it impossible to distinguish between values that were set and values that are provided by default. As a result, ConfigurationSection.contains(java.lang.String) will always return the same value as ConfigurationSection.isSet(java.lang.String). The default value is false.

      Overrides:
      copyDefaults in class MemoryConfigurationOptions
      Parameters:
      value - Whether or not defaults are directly copied
      Returns:
      This object, for chaining
    • pathSeparator

      @NotNull public FileConfigurationOptions pathSeparator(char value)
      Description copied from class: ConfigurationOptions
      Sets the char that will be used to separate ConfigurationSections

      This value does not affect how the Configuration is stored, only in how you access the data. The default value is '.'.

      Overrides:
      pathSeparator in class MemoryConfigurationOptions
      Parameters:
      value - Path separator
      Returns:
      This object, for chaining
    • getHeader

      @NotNull public List<String> getHeader()
      Gets the header that will be applied to the top of the saved output.

      This header will be commented out and applied directly at the top of the generated output of the FileConfiguration. It is not required to include a newline at the end of the header as it will automatically be applied, but you may include one if you wish for extra spacing.

      If no comments exist, an empty list will be returned. A null entry represents an empty line and an empty String represents an empty comment line.

      Returns:
      Unmodifiable header, every entry represents one line.
