Extensions

• Extensions is basically a way for a list to depend on another (built-in) list.

• For example the Default list depends on the Community and EQG lists (here).

• Customs lists can also use this method of depending on other lists for doing lists that expand on already built-in or something similar.

• An example for an extension is right below, with an explanation also below it

{
    "version": 1,
    "list": [
        {
            "name": "Adagio Dazzle (EQG)",
            "img": "characters/eqg/Adagio_Dazzle.webp",
            "gender": "female"
        },
        {
            "name": "Apple Bloom (EQG)",
            "img": "characters/eqg/Apple_Bloom.webp",
            "filly": true,
            "gender": "female"
        },
        {
            "name": "Applejack (EQG)",
            "img": "characters/eqg/Applejack.webp",
            "gender": "female"
        },
        {
            "name": "Aria Blaze (EQG)",
            "img": "characters/eqg/Aria_Blaze.webp",
            "gender": "female"
        },
        {
            "name": "Big McIntosh (EQG)",
            "img": "characters/eqg/Big_McIntosh.webp",
            "gender": "male"
        }
    ],
    "extensions": {
        "appleFamily": {
            "list": "apples",
            "filters": {
                "noEqg": {
                    "logic": {
                        "type": "inList",
                        "charProp": "name",
                        "against": "eqg"
                    },
                    "value": false
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "filters": {}
}

• The extensions property consists of a key-value pair, in which:

  • Key: extension name
  • Value: extension data

• The extension data provides the parser info about what list to grab from and what filters to apply to that list

  • list: The key of the built-in list to grab characters from (you can see the list here)
  • filters: Filters are the same as lists already use AND YOU USE TOO. More information here

    • Extension's filters dont need a text value and value NEEDS to be false for the filter to apply

• Worth noting:

  • Extension's filters apply recursively, meaning if you are extending from a list that also has extensions, those extensions will also run with the specified filters from that list
