API Usage

This guide explains how to integrate the new and improved VehiclesPlus API (v3) into your project.

Adding VehiclesPlus to Your Project

To use the VehiclesPlus API in your plugin, follow these steps:

Step 1: Add VehiclesPlus to Your Dependencies

Ensure VehiclesPlus is added as a dependency in your project. To always use the latest version, update your dependency configuration as shown below:

Maven (pom.xml):

<repository>
    <id>sbdevelopment-repo</id>
    <url>https://repo.sbdevelopment.tech/releases</url>
</repository>

<dependency>
    <groupId>tech.sbdevelopment</groupId>
    <artifactId>vehiclesplus</artifactId>
    <version>latest</version>
</dependency>

Gradle (build.gradle):

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://repo.sbdevelopment.tech/releases'
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'tech.sbdevelopment:vehiclesplus:latest'
}

Note: Using latest ensures that your project always fetches the most recent release, but it might cause issues if breaking changes are introduced. For more stability, consider specifying a specific version (e.g., 3.0.2).

Example: Adding a Car to Someone's Garage

This example demonstrates how to add a vehicle to any garage:

// Give car to garage
public void giveCar(Garage garage, String vehicleType) {
    // Attempt to create a vehicle
    StorageVehicle vehicle = VehiclesPlusAPI.createVehicle(vehicleType);

    if (vehicle == null) {
        System.err.println("Failed to create vehicle of type: " + vehicleType);
        return; // Exit if the vehicle could not be created
    }

    // Add the vehicle's UUID to the garage
    garage.addVehicle(vehicle.getUuid());
    System.out.println("Vehicle created and added to the garage successfully.");
}

Example: Adding a Vehicle to the Player's Default Garage

This example demonstrates how to add a vehicle to the player's default garage:

// Give car to player's default garage
public void giveCar(Player player, String vehicleType) {
    // Attempt to create a vehicle
    StorageVehicle vehicle = VehiclesPlusAPI.createVehicle(vehicleType);

    // Retrieve the player's default garage
    Optional<Garage> optionalGarage = VehiclesPlusAPI.getGarage(player.getName());

    if (vehicle == null) {
        System.err.println("Failed to create vehicle of type: " + vehicleType);
        return; // Exit if the vehicle could not be created
    }

    if (optionalGarage.isPresent()) {
        Garage garage = optionalGarage.get();
        garage.addVehicle(vehicle.getUuid());
        System.out.println("Vehicle created and added to the garage successfully.");
    } else {
        System.err.println("Garage not found for player: " + player.getName());
        // Optionally, you could create a new garage for the player here if the API allows it.
    }
}
