# VehiclesPlus API Examples

In this section, you'll find additional examples of how to use the VehiclesPlus API (v3) for various tasks.

## Example 1: Adding a Car to Someone's Garage

```java
// 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 2: Adding a Vehicle to the Player's Default Garage

```java
// 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.
    }
}
```

## Example 3: Despawning the First Vehicle of a Player

```java
public void despawnFirstVehicle(Player player) {
    // Retrieve the first spawned vehicle of the player
    Optional<SpawnedVehicle> firstSpawnedVehicleOptional = VehiclesPlusAPI.getVehicle(player);

    // Check if a vehicle is present to despawn
    if (firstSpawnedVehicleOptional.isPresent()) {
        // Despawn the vehicle using the API's despawn reason
        firstSpawnedVehicleOptional.get().despawn(VehicleDespawnEvent.DespawnReason.API);
        System.out.println("Vehicle despawned successfully.");
    } else {
        // Handle the case where the player doesn't have a spawned vehicle
        System.err.println("Player does not have a spawned vehicle.");
    }
}
```

## Example 4: Despawning the Closest Vehicle to a Player

```java
public void despawnClosestVehicle(Player executor, Player targetPlayer) {
    // Retrieve a list of all spawned vehicles belonging to the target player
    @NotNull List<Vehicle> vehiclesOfTargetPlayer = VehiclesPlusAPI.getVehicles(targetPlayer);

    // Find the closest spawned vehicle to the executor player
    Optional<SpawnedVehicle> closestVehicleOptional = vehiclesOfTargetPlayer.stream()
            .filter(vehicle -> vehicle instanceof SpawnedVehicle) // Only consider spawned vehicles
            .map(vehicle -> (SpawnedVehicle) vehicle)
            .min(Comparator.comparingDouble(vehicle -> vehicle.getHolder().getLocation().distance(executor.getLocation())));

    // Check if the closest vehicle was found
    if (closestVehicleOptional.isPresent()) {
        // Despawn the closest vehicle using the API's despawn reason
        closestVehicleOptional.get().despawn(VehicleDespawnEvent.DespawnReason.API);
        System.out.println("Closest vehicle despawned successfully.");
    } else {
        // Handle the case where no spawned vehicles are found for the target player
        System.err.println("Target player does not have any spawned vehicles.");
    }
}
```

## Example 5: Removing a Vehicle from the Police Garage

```java
public void removeVehicleFromPoliceGarage(String vehicleModelName) {
    // Retrieve the "police" garage using its name
    Optional<Garage> policeGarageOptional = VehiclesPlusAPI.getGarage("police");

    // Check if the police garage exists, and if not, print an error message and exit
    if (policeGarageOptional.isEmpty()) {
        System.err.println("Error: The 'police' garage does not exist.");
        return;
    }

    // Get the actual garage object
    Garage policeGarage = policeGarageOptional.get();

    // Search for the vehicle with the given model name within the "police" garage
    Optional<Vehicle> vehicleToRemoveOptional = policeGarage.getVehicles().stream()
            // Convert the vehicle UUID to an actual StorageVehicle object
            .map(vehicleUuid -> VehiclesPlusAPI.getVehicle(vehicleUuid))
            // Filter vehicles to match the given model name
            .filter(vehicle -> vehicle != null && vehicle.getVehicleModel().getId().equals(vehicleModelName))
            // Select the first match
            .findFirst();

    // If a matching vehicle is found, attempt to remove it
    if (vehicleToRemoveOptional.isPresent()) {
        Vehicle vehicleToRemove = vehicleToRemoveOptional.get();

        try {
            // Remove the vehicle from the garage
            vehicleToRemove.remove();
            System.out.println("Vehicle with model '" + vehicleModelName + "' has been successfully removed from the police garage.");
        } catch (DataStorageException e) {
            // Handle any errors that occur during the removal process
            System.err.println("Error: Failed to remove vehicle with model '" + vehicleModelName + "' from the garage.");
            throw new RuntimeException("Error while removing vehicle", e);
        }
    } else {
        // If no matching vehicle was found, print an error message
        System.err.println("Error: No vehicle with model '" + vehicleModelName + "' found in the police garage.");
    }
}
```
