Question Yaml-file 2 values under one

Hi guys and girls,
my question is, how can i save more than one value at one heading in a yml-file:

Code:

//YAML_FILE
test:
  first heading:
    - first value
    - second value

@I Al Istannen ;D

 

@ScorixEar You could save a List . Depends on what you want to achieve.

 

You show me how I get the list, not how I set it
@I Al Istannen

 

@ScorixEar I think easier to understand than words:

Code:

List<UUID> list = new ArrayList<>(); // should be possible with any list, I tested with ArrayList
this.getConfig().set("Test Path", list);

this.getConfig().getList("Test Path"); // retrieve

 

So in the end there stand in the yml file this?

Code:

TestPath:
   - test1
   - test2
   - test3

 

@ScorixEar I would go for: try it But as far as I know, yes. But again, just try it with different objects. What I don't know is, if they have to be "ConfigurationSerializable". You will have to try, if you need it.

 

@ScorixEar

From what I've seen, there are several different list formats that are acceptable yaml syntax:

Code:

List1: [value1, value2]

Code:

List2:
- value1
- value2

Code:

List3:
  - value1
  - value2

Code:

List4:
    - value1
    - value2

So, you can use any of these formats if you're editing by hand (or if you're including a default config.yml): Just be consistent.

Also, take note, that his code for getConfig().set("Test Path", list); would most likely result in something like this:

Code:

'Test Path': []
