Solved How to create lists in config.yml

Ok, so I'm currently working on a temporary player storage and I need to know how to set it up like this:

Code:

players:
    - MGlolenstine
    - Krentm

so I can read it with

Code:

List<String> s = getConfig().get("path")

If there is another way, please tell me

 

@MGlolenstine
That is the most common list, it's what YAML will write if you give it a String list, but you can also do the square bracket variant, like this:

Code:text

players: [MGlolenstine, Krentm]

 

So to edit it programmatically, I have to read it, make changes and then reapply it?

 

@MGlolenstine
Yes, but you can't write the square bracket format, it'll turn into the first variant.

 

Thank you! Just another question, how can I instantiate List<String>? It says I have to remove arguments.

 

To set it:

PHP:

List<String> yourList = new ArrayList<String>();
getConfig ().set("path", yourList);

 

Ah, ofc... #-_- Thanks once again...
