Getting color from config for multiple keys

What I'm trying to achieve here is pretty specific, so I haven't been able to find much info about it.
I'm fairly comfortable with file configuration, but this is causing me problems.

This is what my custom config looks like:

Code:

worlds:
  normal:
    world1:
      name: world1
      color: RED
      hidden: false
      type: FLAT
      border: 20
      spawn:
        x: 0.0
        y: 4.0
        z: 0.0
        yaw: 180.0
        pitch: 0.0
    world2:
      name: world2
      color: GREEN
      hidden: false
      type: FLAT
      border: 20
      spawn:
        x: 0.0
        y: 4.0
        z: 0.0
        yaw: 180.0
        pitch: 0.0

On a command, I need to list all world names from this config, but also displayed in the respected color defined under the "color:" key for that world. For example, /worlds would give me: world1, world2

Here's what I've got so far:

Code:

                File worldFile = new File(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("Opticore").getDataFolder(), "worlds.yml");
                FileConfiguration worldConfig = null;
                worldConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(worldFile);

                if (worldConfig.getStringList("worlds.normal") != null) {
                    StringBuilder sbNormal = new StringBuilder();
                    Set<String> normalWorlds = worldConfig.getConfigurationSection("worlds.normal").getKeys(false);
                    for (String list : normalWorlds) {
                        sbNormal.append(list).append(", ");
                    }
                    String color = worldConfig.getString("worlds.normal." + ??? + ".color");
                    cs.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Normal:");
                    cs.sendMessage(ChatColor.valueOf(color) + sbNormal.toString().substring(0, sbNormal.length() - 2));
                }

 

A thing to note in yaml:

Code:

worlds:
  normal:
    world1:
    world2:
    worldbanana:
    catworld:

worlds.normal is not a list, nor an array, it is an object mapping. In java this is typically represented by a Map<String, Object> (As a ConfigurationSection is backed by).

The method you are looking for is ConfigurationSection#geyKeys(false)

 

@1Rogue Makes sense. thanks for the insight. Is this method you linked for the whole colour situation, or for the object mapping?

 

If you get the keys for "world.normal" it will return a List of strings from the section you can iterate over e.g. "world1", "world2".

 

@1Rogue Right, I've already got it listing the worlds, but I need to get the colours for each world and display them in said colour. Or is that what you mean?

 

Right, so you can use those keys to find <your-key>.color and apply it accordingly.

 

@1Rogue Gotcha, I'll give it a shot.
