Placeholders
Warnung
These docs were written for SpongeAPI 7 and are likely out of date. If you feel like you can help update them, please submit a PR!
A common task for chat plugins is to provide and consume placeholders, tokens that map to Component based on context. For example, a „name“ placeholder may return a player’s name, or a „balance“ placeholder may return the value of a player’s default account.
Sponge provides a simple Placeholder API that provides a registry for placeholders, as well a structure to parse them. This allows for a common way for plugins to provide their own placeholders without requiring a specific placeholder library being installed.
Bemerkung
The Sponge placeholder API does not provide a way to parse entire strings that contain tokens.
