VaultAPI - Abstraction Library API for Bukkit Plugins -

How to include the API with Maven:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.milkbowl.vault</groupId>
        <artifactId>vaultapi</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.4</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Why VaultAPI2?

Multiple developers have been waiting for a pull request which would increase performance (by using UUIDs) while at the same time, I and a fellow creatorfromhell have been waiting for multicurrency support. There's a bunch of multicurrency plugins and none of them have a bridge that allows them to communicate with other plugins without having a hell of a lot of code to maintain... I (anjoismysign) took the iniciative to continue a what seems a dead repository. I am open for new team members as long as the mission is to keep supporting 'legacy' plugins while improving the API.

What are legacy plugins?

They are plugins which were designed with the old VaultAPI in mind. The idea is to not hardfork if not needed 👍🏻

How to implement VaultAPI2?

Here two examples:

    /**
     * Checks if the economy provider is available.
     * If using MultiEconomy, it will return the default economy provider.
     *
     * @return The economy provider, or null if not available.
     */
    public static Economy hasEconomyProvider() {
        if (Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("Vault") == null) {
            return null;
        }
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> economyServiceProvider = Bukkit.getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class);
        if (economyServiceProvider != null)
            return economyServiceProvider.getProvider();
        RegisteredServiceProvider<MultiEconomy> multiEconomyServiceProvider =
                Bukkit.getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(MultiEconomy.class);
        if (multiEconomyServiceProvider == null)
            return null;
        return multiEconomyServiceProvider.getProvider().getDefault();
    }

    /**
     * @return True if the there's no economy provider registered and no multi-economy provider registered.
     */
    public static boolean canRegisterEconomy() {
        if (Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("Vault") == null) {
            return false;
        }
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> economyServiceProvider = Bukkit.getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class);
        if (economyServiceProvider != null)
            return false;
        RegisteredServiceProvider<MultiEconomy> multiEconomyServiceProvider =
                Bukkit.getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(MultiEconomy.class);
        return multiEconomyServiceProvider == null;
    }

Why Vault?

I have no preference which library suits your plugin and development efforts best. Really, I thought a central suite (rather...Vault) of solutions was the the proper avenue than focusing on a single category of plugin. That's where the idea for Vault came into play.

So, what features do I think you'll like the most?

• No need to include my source code in your plugin
• Broad range of supported plugins
• Choice!

Building

VaultAPI comes with all libraries needed to build from the current branch.

Implementing Vault

Implementing Vault is quite simple. It requires getting the Economy, Permission, or Chat service from the Bukkit ServiceManager. See the example below:

package com.example.plugin;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import net.milkbowl.vault.chat.Chat;
import net.milkbowl.vault.economy.Economy;
import net.milkbowl.vault.economy.EconomyResponse;
import net.milkbowl.vault.permission.Permission;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.RegisteredServiceProvider;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin {

    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    private static Economy econ = null;
    private static Permission perms = null;
    private static Chat chat = null;

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        log.info(String.format("[%s] Disabled Version %s", getDescription().getName(), getDescription().getVersion()));
    }

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        if (!setupEconomy()) {
            log.severe(String.format("[%s] - Disabled due to no Vault dependency found!", getDescription().getName()));
            getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
            return;
        }
        setupPermissions();
        setupChat();
    }

    private boolean setupEconomy() {
        if (getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("Vault") == null) {
            return false;
        }
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Economy> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Economy.class);
        if (rsp == null) {
            return false;
        }
        econ = rsp.getProvider();
        return econ != null;
    }

    private boolean setupChat() {
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Chat> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Chat.class);
        chat = rsp.getProvider();
        return chat != null;
    }

    private boolean setupPermissions() {
        RegisteredServiceProvider<Permission> rsp = getServer().getServicesManager().getRegistration(Permission.class);
        perms = rsp.getProvider();
        return perms != null;
    }

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
        if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            log.info("Only players are supported for this Example Plugin, but you should not do this!!!");
            return true;
        }

        Player player = (Player) sender;

        if (command.getLabel().equals("test-economy")) {
            // Lets give the player 1.05 currency (note that SOME economic plugins require rounding!)
            sender.sendMessage(String.format("You have %s", econ.format(econ.getBalance(player.getUniqueId()))));
            EconomyResponse r = econ.depositPlayer(player.getUniqueId(), 1.05);
            if (r.transactionSuccess()) {
                sender.sendMessage(String.format("You were given %s and now have %s", econ.format(r.amount), econ.format(r.balance)));
            } else {
                sender.sendMessage(String.format("An error occured: %s", r.errorMessage));
            }
            return true;
        } else if (command.getLabel().equals("test-permission")) {
            // Lets test if user has the node "example.plugin.awesome" to determine if they are awesome or just suck
            if (perms.has(player, "example.plugin.awesome")) {
                sender.sendMessage("You are awesome!");
            } else {
                sender.sendMessage("You suck!");
            }
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public static Economy getEconomy() {
        return econ;
    }

    public static Permission getPermissions() {
        return perms;
    }

    public static Chat getChat() {
        return chat;
    }
}
