Multiple values in a config

Hi bukkit.

Any way I could add multiple values of a config key?

Like this:

key:
- value1
- value2

Instead of this:

key1: value1
key2: value2

 

Use a List

Example:

Code:java

String[] dplist = { "7", "8", "9", "10", "11", "26", "36", "55", "74", "75", "83", "115", "117", "118", "119", "120" };
getdroppartyConfig().addDefault("DropParty.BlockItemsId", Arrays.asList(dplist));

config.get<String, Integer, Etc.>List()

 

What you want is a String list. This will return value1 and value2 (or as many values as you have) in a String[] format.

Code:java

getConfig().getStringList("key");

You could put this in a for loop and loop through the values like so:

Code:java

for(String string : getConfig().getStringList("key")){
  //Code
}

Might work, I have some questions though.
What if my code in the loop is to delete the value from the config?

Code:java

if (string == thevalueIwanttoremove){
//How do I remove it then?
}

And how can I add a value?

... Please?

To set the value of a list in a config, create an Array, ArrayList, List, what ever with all the values currently in the list. Then, you can add/remove values from the list and use config.set("path.to.key", list);

 

Is there no other way? I fear I would have to create too many lists.

 

Not that I have seen.
