Trying my own configManager

So I am trying to create my own ConfigManger and I'm almost there.
Except that I am stuck on one part.

It is bit hard to explain but the code comments should explain what I'm trying:

My Config class is still empty because I don't know how to start.


My Main class:

Code:

package me.mrgeneralq.takeout;



import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import commands.Takeout;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin{

   
ConfigManager manager = new ConfigManager(this);

   
   
    public void onEnable(){
   
       
       
        // I want vvvvvv this SO I can access my config
    Config myConfig = manager.createConfig("data.yml");
   
    //So I can use for example of of these things
   
    // MyConfig.saveConfig();
   
   
   
   
        getCommand("takeout").setExecutor(new Takeout());
    }
   
   
   
   
}

My ConfigManager Class:

Code:

package me.mrgeneralq.takeout;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;

public class ConfigManager {
   
   
   
    private Main main;

    public ConfigManager(Main main){
        this.main = main;
    }
   

   
    public void createConfig(String configName){
       
        File newConfig = new File(main.getDataFolder(), configName);
        YamlConfiguration loadConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(newConfig);
       
       
        try {
            loadConfig.save(newConfig);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
       
       
    }
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
}

Can someone help me? Thank you

 

You need a Map<String, YamlConfiguration> to store that. I have done this before so you can look onto my GitHub.

 

Can you provide a url to me?

 

Here is the url for Map:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Map.html

Here is the url for his GitHub repo:

Thanks for all the replies but I still don't get on how to make that Config varName = ConfigManager.createConfig("data.yml");

I just need to know on how I can get the BOLD part working

 

Use a YamlConfiguration instead of Config and return that.

 

but ConfigManager doesn't return anything.

 

@MrGeneralQ
Then add a "return loadConfig;" statement at the end of the createConfig method

 

@MrGeneralQ Set the return type of yout createConfig method to YamlConfiguration, then do what
@I Al Istannen is saying. Problem solved.

 

I will give this a try. But for now I am doing stuff with custom classes. This thread is not closed yet

 

@MrGeneralQ Don't forget to tahg us Otherwise we wont respond Tahg by clicking the tahg button at the botom right of our posts.

I do a similar thing. It works, but its way to simple, and it prints the info in console, not IG.

I'd have to think about this
