Interface Storage<T>

Type Parameters:
T - The type of the stored resources.
All Known Subinterfaces:
ExtractionOnlyStorage<T>, InsertionOnlyStorage<T>, InventoryStorage, PlayerInventoryStorage, SingleSlotStorage<T>
All Known Implementing Classes:
CombinedStorage, EmptyItemFluidStorage, FilteringStorage, FullItemFluidStorage, SingleFluidStorage, SingleStackStorage, SingleVariantItemStorage, SingleVariantStorage

@Experimental @Deprecated public interface Storage<T>
Deprecated.
Experimental feature, we reserve the right to remove or change it without further notice. The transfer API is a complex addition, and we want to be able to correct possible design mistakes.
An object that can store resources.

Users that wish to implement this interface can use the helpers in the base package:

Important note: Unless otherwise specified, all transfer functions take a non-blank resource and a non-negative maximum amount as parameters. Implementations are encouraged to throw an exception if these preconditions are violated. StoragePreconditions can be used for these checks.

For transfer functions, the returned amount must be non-negative, and smaller than the passed maximum amount. Consumers of these functions are encourage to throw an exception if these postconditions are violated.

  • Method Details

    • empty

      static <T> Storage<T> empty()
      Deprecated.
      Return an empty storage.
    • supportsInsertion

      default boolean supportsInsertion()
      Deprecated.
      Return false if calling insert(T, long, net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext) will absolutely always return 0, or true otherwise or in doubt.

      Note: This function is meant to be used by pipes or other devices that can transfer resources to know if they should interact with this storage at all.

    • insert

      long insert(T resource, long maxAmount, TransactionContext transaction)
      Deprecated.
      Try to insert up to some amount of a resource into this storage.
      Parameters:
      resource - The resource to insert. May not be blank.
      maxAmount - The maximum amount of resource to insert. May not be negative.
      transaction - The transaction this operation is part of.
      Returns:
      A nonnegative integer not greater than maxAmount: the amount that was inserted.
    • simulateInsert

      default long simulateInsert(T resource, long maxAmount, @Nullable @Nullable TransactionContext transaction)
      Deprecated.
      Convenient helper to simulate an insertion, i.e. get the result of insert without modifying any state. The passed transaction may be null if a new transaction should be opened for the simulation.
      See Also:
      insert(T, long, net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext)
    • supportsExtraction

      default boolean supportsExtraction()
      Deprecated.
      Return false if calling extract(T, long, net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext) will absolutely always return 0, or true otherwise or in doubt.

      Note: This function is meant to be used by pipes or other devices that can transfer resources to know if they should interact with this storage at all.

    • extract

      long extract(T resource, long maxAmount, TransactionContext transaction)
      Deprecated.
      Try to extract up to some amount of a resource from this storage.
      Parameters:
      resource - The resource to extract. May not be blank.
      maxAmount - The maximum amount of resource to extract. May not be negative.
      transaction - The transaction this operation is part of.
      Returns:
      A nonnegative integer not greater than maxAmount: the amount that was extracted.
    • simulateExtract

      default long simulateExtract(T resource, long maxAmount, @Nullable @Nullable TransactionContext transaction)
      Deprecated.
      Convenient helper to simulate an extraction, i.e. get the result of extract without modifying any state. The passed transaction may be null if a new transaction should be opened for the simulation.
      See Also:
      extract(T, long, net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext)
    • iterator

      Iterator<StorageView<T>> iterator(TransactionContext transaction)
      Deprecated.
      Iterate through the contents of this storage, for the scope of the passed transaction. Every visited StorageView represents a stored resource and an amount. The iterator doesn't guarantee that a single resource only occurs once during an iteration.

      The returned iterator and any view it returns are only valid for the scope of to the passed transaction. They should not be used once that transaction is closed.

      More precisely, as soon as the transaction is closed, hasNext() must return false, and any call to next() must throw a NoSuchElementException.

      insert(T, long, net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext) and extract(T, long, net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext) may be called safely during iteration. Extractions should be visible to an open iterator, but insertions are not required to. In particular, inventories with a fixed amount of slots may wish to make insertions visible to iterators, but inventories with a dynamic or very large amount of slots should not do that to ensure timely termination of the iteration.

      Parameters:
      transaction - The transaction to which the scope of the returned iterator is tied.
      Returns:
      An iterator over the contents of this storage.
    • iterable

      default Iterable<StorageView<T>> iterable(TransactionContext transaction)
      Deprecated.
      Iterate through the contents of this storage, for the scope of the passed transaction. This function follows the semantics of iterator(net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext), but returns an Iterable for use in for loops.
      Parameters:
      transaction - The transaction to which the scope of the returned iterator is tied.
      Returns:
      An iterable over the contents of this storage.
      See Also:
      iterator(net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext)
    • exactView

      @Nullable default @Nullable StorageView<T> exactView(TransactionContext transaction, T resource)
      Deprecated.
      Return a view over this storage, for a specific resource, or null if none is quickly available.

      This function should only return a non-null view if this storage can provide it quickly, for example with a hashmap lookup. If returning the requested view would require iteration through a potentially large number of views, null should be returned instead.

      The returned view is tied to the passed transaction, and may never be used once the passed transaction has been closed.

      Parameters:
      transaction - The transaction to which the scope of the returned storage view is tied.
      resource - The resource for which a storage view is requested. May be blank, for example to estimate capacity.
      Returns:
      A view over this storage for the passed resource, or null if none is quickly available.
    • getVersion

      default long getVersion()
      Deprecated.
      Return an integer representing the current version of this storage instance to allow for fast change detection: if the version hasn't changed since the last time, and the storage instance is the same, the storage has the same contents. This can be used to avoid re-scanning the contents of the storage, which could be an expensive operation. It may be used like that:
      
       // Store storage and version:
       Storage<?> firstStorage = // ...
       long firstVersion = firstStorage.getVersion();
      
       // Later, check if the secondStorage is the unchanged firstStorage:
       Storage<?> secondStorage = // ...
       long secondVersion = secondStorage.getVersion();
       // We must check firstStorage == secondStorage first, otherwise versions may not be compared.
       if (firstStorage == secondStorage && firstVersion == secondVersion) {
           // storage contents are the same.
       } else {
           // storage contents might have changed.
       }
       

      The version must change if the state of the storage has changed, generally after a direct modification, or at the end of a modifying transaction. The version may also change even if the state of the storage hasn't changed.

      It is not valid to call this during a transaction, and implementations are encouraged to throw an exception if that happens.

    • asClass

      static <T> Class<Storage<T>> asClass()
      Deprecated.
      Return a class instance of this interface with the desired generic type, to be used for easier registration with API lookups.
