Injection de Dépendances

Avertissement

These docs were written for SpongeAPI 7 and are likely out of date.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!

When creating your plugin class, Sponge uses a technique called Dependency Injection to supply API objects to your plugin’s main class. Some of these objects, such as loggers and configuration loaders, are specific to your plugin and reduce the code you have to write to perform some of these tasks.

Avertissement

Sponge only performs injection on your main plugin class. Using @Inject on other classes will not work unless you inject an Injector into your main class and then use that to create other classes.

Simple Injections

Fields or constructor parameters of the following types can be annotated with @com.google.inject.Inject to ask Sponge to provide simple objects.

The following objects are the same, no matter which plugin requests the injection:

The following types return an appropriate instance for the plugin:

  • PluginContainer - returns the plugin container associated with the plugin it is being injected into

  • org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger - returns the logger associated with the plugin it is being injected into

Example: Injecting the Plugin Specific Logger and PluginContainer

We can signal to Sponge that you want to inject the logger in one of two ways, field or constructor injection. All simple injections work the same way in Sponge.

For field injection, you must annotate non-final fields with the @Inject annotation, as in the example below:

import com.google.inject.Inject;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

@Inject
private Logger logger;

@Inject
private PluginContainer pluginContainer;

For constructor injection, you must create a constructor, annotate it with @Inject, and add the objects you want injecting as parameters, as in the example below:

import com.google.inject.Inject;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

// For the purpose of this example, "Banana" is the class name

private final Logger logger;
private final PluginContainer pluginContainer;

@Inject
public Banana(Logger logger, PluginContainer pluginContainer) {
    this.logger = logger;
    this.pluginContainer = pluginContainer;
}

In both of these examples, the logger field will contain a Sponge provided logger and the pluginContainer field will contain the plugin’s PluginContainer after the object is constructed.

Configurate Injections

Astuce

View Configuration des plugins for a guide to configuration, specifically using the @DefaultConfig annotation.

Sponge is also able to inject Configurate specific objects into your plugin class, set up with suggested locations for your plugin configuration. These injections require an additional annotation on your injected type, which will be either ConfigDir or DefaultConfig, dependent on your use case.

The DefaultConfig Annotation

The DefaultConfig annotation is used to resolve a file location. DefaultConfig has a parameter sharedRoot, which alters the file that it points to (where <pluginid> is your plugin’s ID):

  • If sharedRoot is false, the annotation will point to the file config/<pluginid>/<pluginid>.conf.

  • If sharedRoot is true, the annotation will point to the file config/<pluginid>.conf.

The DefaultConfig annotation can be applied on the following types:

  • ConfigurationLoader<CommentedConfigurationNode> - provides a configuration loader that will load and save a HOCON file from the resolved file location

  • ConfigurationReference<CommentedConfigurationNode> - provides a ConfigurationReference that will load and save a HOCON file from the resolved file location

  • Path - stores the path to the file location, useful if you wish to use a different file format for your configuration (such as YAML).

Example Injection

The following example injects the HOCON configuration loader and the path it is pointing to via field injection.

import com.google.inject.Inject;
import org.spongepowered.api.config.DefaultConfig
import org.spongepowered.configurate.CommentedConfigurationNode;
import org.spongepowered.configurate.loader.ConfigurationLoader;

@Inject
@DefaultConfig(sharedRoot = false)
private ConfigurationLoader<CommentedConfigurationNode> loader;

@Inject
@DefaultConfig(sharedRoot = false)
private Path configFilePath;

Most users will only require the provided loader, which can then be interacted with in the normal way.

The ConfigDir annotation

The ConfigDir annotation is used to resolve a folder. The sharedRoot parameter works as follows (where <pluginid> is your plugin’s ID):

  • If sharedRoot is false, the annotation will point to the file config/<pluginid>/.

  • If sharedRoot is true, the annotation will point to the file config/.

The ConfigDir annotation can only be applied on the Path type to retrive this directory. It is generally most useful for plugins that require multiple configuration files, providing the directory to place them rather than a single file.
