InventoryAPI - Create Inventories with Ease!

Hey fellow Bukkit developers! I don't know about you but I hate making inventories! So much setup and chaos. Well, here is your solution. You can start making inventories with InventoryAPI with ease.

This is just not a library. It's a plugin, you import it just like how you would with Bukkit. When using the API, insure that you have the plugin on your server as well, other wise you might get some errors .

(should I put the plugin on BukkitDev?)

 

Nothing here. No usage nothing .-.

 

Added the Source Code. If you look through it you should find an example package. Here's a link to it: https://github.com/FadedMystery/InventoryAPI/tree/master/src/me/fadedmystery/invapi/example

 

Don't see the purpose for this unless you're a beginner, imo making inv/guis is very easy.

 

I agree with Onlineids this is another API, which for what it is I am sure works just fine, but is completely unnecessary as you still have to figure out how to use your API, when the bukkit API isn't very hard to use for this. You also then have to depend on another plugin and use it on the server. Really not worth it in my opinion. Finally, you should probably put some more time into the documentation as just having the source code isn't the most efficient way to show how to use the API.

 

I think that the design of this API features nothing special, just lots of shortcuts. I would've preferred an abstracted inventory container, but your ItemStack builder is pretty cool, though not necessarily a real builder, as a builder pattern appends the settings on the object wrapper when the build method is called and returns.

 

I recommend having some sort of builder-like ItemStack creator in every large plugin you make. I've never had a point where I thought to myself "man, I wish I had to write out like 3 extra lines to apply this lore".

 

To handle the size you could always have used something like this:

Code:java

int size = someGivenNumber;
if (size % 9 != 0) {
    size = Math.round(size / 9) * 9;
}
// Possibly add another check like:
if (size > 45) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Oh noes! Invalid size!");
}

 

Without shortcuts, we would still be hunter-gatherers.

 

Yes, with bukkit it is very easy. Just when you are checking for every item that is clicked it gets a bit tedious. There's my point with the API, you can add an item to inventory AND assign a Runnable. I would not suggest using this API if your just going have to items in it with no listener checking if it had been clicked.

Yea, the ItemStackBuikder class does help. ItemMeta's are a pain. I like doing it in one method c:

I think being a hunter gatherer would be cool!

 

With shortcuts, being hunter-gatherers is easier.

find code, cmd + c, go to plugin, cmd + v

See, hunting code and gathering it

Disclaimer: Don't do that...

 

Garris0n Sorry for interrupting, but I think you meant to say "ctrl + c" and "ctrl + v"

 

Garris0n Oh... Nevermind then.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

You can also use 54 as inventory size

Wow thats so cool! -_-

 

darkness1999 Thats not what my code snippet does .

Edit: Nevermind, missread your post, sorry

 

you can use pretty much any multiple of 9. Just it gets buggy

 

You should stick to trolling.
