Citation

A virion for PocketMine-MP developers aiming to assist registration of commands with added support for registering and executing SubCommands.

Documentation

First of all you need to make a variable (save it somewhere since you might need it elsewhere).

    $citation = new Citation(Plugin $plugin, ?string $prefix);

• $plugin is pretty self explanatory.
• $prefix is the text (that if set) would appear before the messages sent to the command sender.

Commands

Citation provides a neat and easy to use API for developers for registering commands.

Class

• Your command class must extend JackMD\Citation\Command\BaseCommand class in order for it to be registered.
• Refer to the class for all the API methods it has.

Registering

• To register the command get handler from citation and register the command class.

    $citation->getHandler()->registerCommand(BaseCommand $command): void;

• $command being the command class you want to register.

• For more API methods please refer to JackMD\Citation\Handler class.

SubCommands

Citation provides a neat and easy way for plugins to register sub commands in separate classes.

Class

• Your SubCommand class must extend JackMD\Citation\Command\SubCommand class.
• You may refer to the aforementioned class for all the API methods it hides.

Registering

• You need to register the SubCommand from the same command class that extends BaseCommand class like so.

    $this->registerSubCommand(SubCommand $command): void;

• This will register the SubCommand for the command.

Executing

• For executing the sub commands in the onCommand() method of your BaseCommand add

    $this->executeSubCommand(CommandSender $sender, array $args): void;

• This will check if the subcommand or its alias exist and execute it. If it doesn't then it will send the error to the command sender.
• It will also check if the sender has the permission to use the subcommand and notify if he doesn't.

Defaults

Some default commands are provided within Citation for aiding the developer.

Help SubCommand

• A default help sub command is provided within Citation.
• Register the sub command to get a pre-set help command which automatically generates help pages for your commands.

    $help = new JackMD\Citation\Command\Defaults\HelpSubCommand(BaseCommand $command, string $headerName, string $permission, string $usage, array $aliases = []);

• $command being the command whose sub command you want to add.
• $headerName is the text that would appear on the top message of the help command when executed.
• $permission, $usage and $alias are pretty self explanatory.

Note(s)

• Hopefully I mentioned every required detail.
• For any feature additions or bug reports to open an issue.
• PRs are always welcomed.
