Package ninja.leaping.configurate.objectmapping

Class ObjectMapper<T>

java.lang.Object

ninja.leaping.configurate.objectmapping.ObjectMapper<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type to work with

public class ObjectMapper<T>
extends Object

This is the object mapper. It handles conversion between configuration nodes and fields annotated with Setting in objects. Values in the node not used by the mapped object will be preserved.

Constructor Details

ObjectMapper

@Deprecated protected ObjectMapper(Class<T> type) throws ObjectMappingException

Deprecated.

Use ObjectMapper(TypeToken) instead to support parameterized types

Create a new object mapper of a given type. The given type must not be an interface.

Parameters:

type - The class this object mapper will work with

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - When errors occur discovering fields in the class

ObjectMapper

protected ObjectMapper(TypeToken<T> type) throws ObjectMappingException

Create a new object mapper of a given type

Parameters:

type - The type this object mapper will work with

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - When errors occur discovering fields in the class

Method Details

forClass

public static <T> ObjectMapper<T> forClass(@NonNull Class<T> clazz) throws ObjectMappingException

Create a new object mapper that can work with objects of the given class using the DefaultObjectMapperFactory.

Type Parameters:

T - The type

Parameters:

clazz - The type of object

Returns:

An appropriate object mapper instance. May be shared with other users.

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - If invalid annotated fields are presented

forType

public static <T> ObjectMapper<T> forType(@NonNull TypeToken<T> type) throws ObjectMappingException

Create a new object mapper that can work with objects of the given type using the DefaultObjectMapperFactory.

Type Parameters:

T - The type

Parameters:

type - The type of object

Returns:

An appropriate object mapper instance. May be shared with other users.

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - If invalid annotated fields are presented

forObject

public static <T> ObjectMapper.BoundInstance forObject(@NonNull T obj) throws ObjectMappingException

Creates a new object mapper bound to the given object. CAUTION Generic type information will be lost when creating a mapper. Provide a TypeToken to avoid this

Type Parameters:

T - The object type

Parameters:

obj - The object

Returns:

An appropriate object mapper instance.

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - when an object is provided that is not suitable for object mapping. Reasons may include but are not limited to:

• Not annotated with ConfigSerializable annotation
• Invalid field types

forObject

public static <T> ObjectMapper.BoundInstance forObject(TypeToken<T> type, @NonNull T obj) throws ObjectMappingException

Creates a new object mapper bound to the given object.

Type Parameters:

T - The object type

Parameters:

type - generic type of object

obj - The object

Returns:

An appropriate object mapper instance.

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - when an object is provided that is not suitable for object mapping. Reasons may include but are not limited to:

• Not annotated with ConfigSerializable annotation
• Invalid field types
• Specified type is an interface

isLegacy

@Deprecated protected boolean isLegacy()

Deprecated.

Backwards compatibility measure, to be removed in 4.0

Method to determine if this ObjectMapper instance needs to maintain pre-3.7 behaviour. Override this if you are ready to take advantage of new 3.7 changes and also will be providing a subclass of ObjectMapper that overrides the old collectFields

Returns:

true to get legacy, less generic-aware treatment

collectFields

@Deprecated protected void collectFields(Map<String,ObjectMapper.FieldData> cachedFields, Class<? super T> clazz) throws ObjectMappingException

Deprecated.

Use collectFields(Map, TypeToken) instead

Gather fields from a class, without having calculated types present

Parameters:

cachedFields - map to contribute fields to

clazz - active class to scan

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - when an error occurs

collectFields

protected void collectFields(Map<String,ObjectMapper.FieldData> cachedFields, TypeToken<? super T> clazz) throws ObjectMappingException

Throws:

ObjectMappingException

constructObject

protected T constructObject() throws ObjectMappingException

Create a new instance of an object of the appropriate type. This method is not responsible for any population.

Returns:

The new object instance

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - If constructing a new instance was not possible

canCreateInstances

public boolean canCreateInstances()

Returns whether this object mapper can create new object instances. This may be false if the provided class has no zero-argument constructors.

Returns:

Whether new object instances can be created

bind

public ObjectMapper.BoundInstance bind(T instance)

Return a view on this mapper that is bound to a single object instance

Parameters:

instance - The instance to bind to

Returns:

A view referencing this mapper and the bound instance

bindToNew

public ObjectMapper.BoundInstance bindToNew() throws ObjectMappingException

Returns a view on this mapper that is bound to a newly created object instance

Returns:

Bound mapper attached to a new object instance

Throws:

ObjectMappingException - If the object could not be constructed correctly

bind(Object)

getMappedType

@Deprecated public Class<T> getMappedType()

Deprecated.

Use getType() to be aware of parameterized types

Get the mapped class.

Returns:

class

getType

public TypeToken<T> getType()
