Namespace
MonkeyLoader.Configuration
Assembly
MonkeyLoader.dll

Represents the typed definition for a config item.

public sealed class DefiningConfigKey<T> : Entity<DefiningConfigKey<T>>, IEntity<DefiningConfigKey<T>>, IEnumerable<IComponent<DefiningConfigKey<T>>>, IDefiningConfigKey<T>, IDefiningConfigKey, IEntity<IDefiningConfigKey>, IEnumerable<IComponent<IDefiningConfigKey>>, INestedIdentifiable<ConfigSection>, INestedIdentifiable, IPrioritizable, IDisplayable, ITypedConfigKey<T>, ITypedConfigKey, IConfigKey, IEquatable<IConfigKey>, IIdentifiable, IEntity<IDefiningConfigKey<T>>, IEnumerable<IComponent<IDefiningConfigKey<T>>>, IEnumerable

Type Parameters

T

The type of the config item's value.

Inheritance
DefiningConfigKey<T>
Implements
Inherited Members
Extension Methods

Remarks

Add extra components like this:

DefiningConfigKey<int> testKey = new("Test", ...)
{
    new ConfigKeyRange<int>(0, 255)
};

Constructors

DefiningConfigKey(string, string?, Func<T>?, bool, Predicate<T?>?)

Creates a new instance of the DefiningConfigKey<T> class with the given parameters.

public DefiningConfigKey(string id, string? description = null, Func<T>? computeDefault = null, bool internalAccessOnly = false, Predicate<T?>? valueValidator = null)

Parameters

id string

The mod-unique identifier of this config item. Must not be null or whitespace.

description string

The human-readable description of this config item.

computeDefault Func<T>

The function that computes a default value for this key. Otherwise default(T) will be used.

internalAccessOnly bool

If true, only the owning mod should have access to this config item.

valueValidator Predicate<T>

The function that checks if the given value is valid for this config item. Otherwise everything will be accepted.

Remarks

The Changed event will be fired whenever the equality comparison of the value of this key changes.
If the value type implements INotifyPropertyChanged or INotifyCollectionChanged, those events will be passed through as well.

Add extra components like this: 

DefiningConfigKey<int> testKey = new("Test", ...)
{
    new ConfigKeyRange<int>(0, 255)
};

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

If the id is null or whitespace.
