IData

The IData interface is a generic Interface for handling Data like NBT. You can cast about all primitives (short, double, string, int, ...) as well as certain arrays to IData. Remember that while they offer similar features, IData and their counterparts are NOT the same, which is why they will be referred to as DataTypes (e.g. ByteData).

Importing the class

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import at the very top of the file.

Methods

asBoolean

Name: asBoolean

Return Type: boolean

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.asBoolean() as boolean

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.asBoolean();

asCollection

Name: asCollection

Return Type: ICollectionData

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.asCollection() as ICollectionData

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.asCollection();

asList

Name: asList

Gets a List representation of this IData, returns null on anything but ListData.

Returns: null if this IData is not a list.
Return Type: stdlib.List<IData>

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.asList() as stdlib.List<IData>

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.asList();

asMap

Name: asMap

Gets a Map<String, IData> representation of this IData, returns null on anything but MapData.

Returns: null if this IData is not a map.
Return Type: IData[string]

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.asMap() as IData[string]

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.asMap();

asNumber

Name: asNumber

Return Type: INumberData

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.asNumber() as INumberData

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.asNumber();

asString

Name: asString

Gets the String representation of this IData

Returns: String that represents this IData (value and type).
Return Type: string

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.asString() as string

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.asString();

contains

Name: contains

Checks if this IData contains another IData, mainly used in subclasses of ICollectionData, is the same as an equals check on other IData types

Returns: true if the given IData is contained in this IData
Return Type: boolean

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.contains(data as IData) as boolean

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.contains("Display");

Parameter	Type	Description
Parameter data	Type IData	Description data to check if it is contained

copy

Name: copy

Makes a copy of this IData.

IData is immutable by default, use this to create a proper copy of the object.

Returns: a copy of this IData.
Return Type: IData

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.copy() as IData

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.copy();

getId

Name: getId

Gets the ID of the internal NBT tag.

Used to determine what NBT type is stored (in a list for example)

Returns: ID of the NBT tag that this data represents.
Return Type: byte

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.getId() as byte

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.getId();

getString

Name: getString

Gets the String representation of the internal INBT tag

Returns: String that represents the internal INBT of this IData.
Return Type: string

ZenScript
 Copy
// IData.getString() as string

{Display: {lore: ["Hello", "World"]}}.getString();
