How would I use an 'if' statement, using config.yml?

Hi,

I vaguely know about configuration files, but I'm learning about them. I can make a simple plugin using configuration files, but I'm working on something big.

Let's say that I would disable an command if in the configuration file (BlahBlah = false). How would I do this? Remember I'm new to configuration files. If (blah is true in config run the command and if blah is false in config don't run it and send a error message.

Thanks.

 

Configuration#getStringList(key).contains(command)

 

@BestMcPlayers Something like this.

Code:

if(plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("SomeBoolean") == true){
//Do something.
}

 

I personally use a configuration API that I found when I was first learning plugins.
So I would call that class as data and use it like this:
if (data.getString("name").equals("other string")) {
// action
}

 

1. Why was that in a JavaScript code mark?
2. Why the == true?

 

@stoneminer02 It is not needed, and I do not use them. I added them here though, so that it is clear how it works.

 

@Gamesareme The "SomeBoolean" part makes it look like you put a boolean inside that, though.

 

@Lionhard I did do it right though?

 

@Gamesareme Yes, yes. You did everything correct. But I'm not sure if == would even work.

 

@Lionhard
Of course it would work, it's just not necessary.

 

@API_Tutorials Alright. Not used to this, because I do not use = neither I use ==

 

Just instance your plugin's Main class. Then check the config then check if that string contains true or false. Then use if statements to check if it's true or false, so you can decide what happens next.

 

@BestMcPlayers pseudo:

Code:

onCommand(){
   if(getConfig().getBoolean("some.path"){
  // do stuff
}else{
// send message
}
}
