Package org.spongepowered.api.data.value

Interface Value.Mutable<E>

Type Parameters:

E - The type of element

All Superinterfaces:

Value<E>

All Known Subinterfaces:

CollectionValue.Mutable<E,C,M,I>, ListValue.Mutable<E>, MapValue.Mutable<K,V>, SetValue.Mutable<E>, WeightedCollectionValue.Mutable<E>

Enclosing interface:

Value<E>

public static interface Value.Mutable<E>
extends Value<E>

Represents a type of Value that is mutable. Simply put, the underlying value can always be changed without creating a new Value.Mutable.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Value.Immutable<E>	asImmutable()	Gets the Value.Immutable version of this Value.Mutable such that all data is duplicated across to the new Value.Immutable.
default Value.Mutable<E>	asMutable()	Retrieves a mutable form of this value.
default Value.Mutable<E>	asMutableCopy()	Retrieves a copy in the mutable form of this value.
Value.Mutable<E>	copy()	Makes an independent copy of this Value.Mutable with the same initial data.
Value.Mutable<E>	set(E value)	Sets the underlying value to the provided value.
Value.Mutable<E>	transform(java.util.function.Function<E,E> function)	Attempts to transform the underlying value based on the provided Function such that the result of Function.apply(Object) will replace the underlying value.

Method Detail

set

Value.Mutable<E> set(E value)

Sets the underlying value to the provided value.

Parameters:

value - The value to set

Returns:

The owning ValueContainer

transform

Value.Mutable<E> transform(java.util.function.Function<E,E> function)

Attempts to transform the underlying value based on the provided Function such that the result of Function.apply(Object) will replace the underlying value.

Parameters:

function - The function to apply on the existing value

Returns:

The owning ValueContainer

asImmutable

Value.Immutable<E> asImmutable()

Gets the Value.Immutable version of this Value.Mutable such that all data is duplicated across to the new Value.Immutable. Note that once created, the Value.Immutable is not going to change.

Specified by:

asImmutable in interface Value<E>

Returns:

A new Value.Immutable instance

asMutable

default Value.Mutable<E> asMutable()

Description copied from interface: Value

Retrieves a mutable form of this value. Due to the vague nature of the value itself, some cases can already provide a Value.Mutable instance where this would simply return itself. In other cases, where the retrieved value is an Value.Immutable instance, a new mutable value is created with the same key and values.

Specified by:

asMutable in interface Value<E>

Returns:

A mutable value

asMutableCopy

default Value.Mutable<E> asMutableCopy()

Description copied from interface: Value

Retrieves a copy in the mutable form of this value. The new is created with the same key and values.

Specified by:

asMutableCopy in interface Value<E>

Returns:

A mutable value

copy

Value.Mutable<E> copy()

Makes an independent copy of this Value.Mutable with the same initial data. Both this value and the new value will refer to the same object initially.

Returns:

A new copy of this Value.Mutable
