public interface ValueContainer
A value holder is a holder of a particular set of Values. While there exists a DataHolder and DataManipulator, the emphasis of ValueContainer is that it only contains "data". It is not known whether a ValueHolder is mutable or immutable.

Being that a ValueHolder is literally a container of Values, it itself does not contain the underlying values of data. A ValueContainer may not always be parented by another ValueContainer, such as the case for DataManipulators and DataHolder.Mutables, it is recommended to knowingly understand the fundamental differences between them.

  • Method Details

    • get

      <E> Optional<E> get(Key<? extends Value<E>> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying value backed by a Value linked to the provided Key. If the Key is not supported, Optional.empty() is returned. It is important to check for support of a Key by either calling supports(Value) or supports(Key).
      Type Parameters:
      E - The type of value
      Parameters:
      key - The key to retrieve the value for
      Returns:
      The value, if available

    • getInt

      default OptionalInt getInt(Key<? extends Value<Integer>> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying int value backed by a Value linked to the provided Key. If the Key is not supported, Optional.empty() is returned. It is important to check for support of a Key by either calling supports(Value) or supports(Key).
      Parameters:
      key - The key to retrieve the value for
      Returns:
      The value, if available

    • getDouble

      default OptionalDouble getDouble(Key<? extends Value<Double>> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying double value backed by a Value linked to the provided Key. If the Key is not supported, Optional.empty() is returned. It is important to check for support of a Key by either calling supports(Value) or supports(Key).
      Parameters:
      key - The key to retrieve the value for
      Returns:
      The value, if available

    • getLong

      default OptionalLong getLong(Key<? extends Value<Long>> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying long value backed by a Value linked to the provided Key. If the Key is not supported, Optional.empty() is returned. It is important to check for support of a Key by either calling supports(Value) or supports(Key).
      Parameters:
      key - The key to retrieve the value for
      Returns:
      The value, if available

    • require

      default <E> E require(Key<? extends Value<E>> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying value backed by a Value linked to the provided Key.

      If the Key is not supported or available, NoSuchElementException will be thrown.

      Type Parameters:
      E - The type of value
      Parameters:
      key - The key
      Returns:
      The value
      Throws:
      NoSuchElementException - If the value is not supported or present

    • getOrNull

      default <E> @Nullable E getOrNull(Key<? extends Value<E>> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying value if available and supported. If the Value is not supported whatsoever by this ValueContainer, an exception is thrown.
      Type Parameters:
      E - The type of value
      Parameters:
      key - The Key backing the Value
      Returns:
      The value, or null if not set

    • getOrElse

      default <E> E getOrElse(Key<? extends Value<E>> key, E defaultValue)
      Attempts to get the underlying value if available. If the value is not set, the given defaultValue is returned, if the Value is even supported.
      Type Parameters:
      E - The type of value
      Parameters:
      key - The key backing the Value
      defaultValue - The value to default to if not set
      Returns:
      The value, or default if not set

    • getValue

      <E, V extends Value<E>> Optional<V> getValue(Key<V> key)
      Gets the Value for the given Key.
      Type Parameters:
      E - The type of the return type
      V - The type of value
      Parameters:
      key - The key linked to the Value
      Returns:
      The value, if available

    • requireValue

      default <E, V extends Value<E>> V requireValue(Key<V> key)
      Attempts to get the underlying value backed by a Value linked to the provided Key.

      If the Key is not supported or available, NoSuchElementException will be thrown.

      Type Parameters:
      E - The type of element wrapped by the value
      V - The type of value
      Parameters:
      key - The key
      Returns:
      The value
      Throws:
      NoSuchElementException - If the value is not supported or present

    • supports

      boolean supports(Key<?> key)
      Checks if the given Key is supported by this ValueContainer.
      Parameters:
      key - The key to check
      Returns:
      True if the key and value backed by the key is supported

    • supports

      default boolean supports(Value<?> value)
      Checks if the provided Value is supported.
      Parameters:
      value - The base value to check
      Returns:
      True if the base value is supported

    • getKeys

      Set<Key<?>> getKeys()
      Gets all applicable Keys for this ValueContainer. Changes can not be made to the set to alter the ValueContainer, nor can the Values be changed with the provided Set.
      Returns:
      An immutable set of known Keys

    • getValues

      Set<Value.Immutable<?>> getValues()
      Gets all applicable Values associated with this ValueContainer. As the data backed by the values are copied, any modifications to the Values will not be reflected onto this ValueContainer.
      Returns:
      An immutable set of copied values
