/************************************************************************ # ScriptCraft API Reference Walter Higgins [walter.higgins@gmail.com][email] [email]: mailto:walter.higgins@gmail.com?subject=ScriptCraft_API_Reference ## Module Loading At server startup the ScriptCraft Java plugin is loaded and once loaded the Java plugin will in turn begin loading all of the javascript (.js) files it finds in the js-plugins directory (in the current working directory). If this is the first time the ScriptCraft plugin is loaded, then the js-plugins directory will not yet exist, it will be created and all of the bundled javascript files will be unzipped into it from a bundled resource within the Java plugin. The very first javascript file to load will always be js-plugins/core/_scriptcraft.js. Then all other javascript files are loaded except for filenames which begin with `_` (underscore), such files are considered to be private modules and will not be automatically loaded at startup. ### Directory structure The js-plugins directory is loosely organised into subdirectories - one for each module. Each subdirectory in turn can contain one or more javascript files. Within each directory, a javascript file with the same filename as the directory will always be loaded before all other files in the same directory. So for example, drone/drone.js will always load before any other files in the drone/ directory. Similarly utils/utils.js will always load before any other files in the utils/ directory. ### Directories As of February 10 2013, the js-plugins directory has the following sub-directories... * core - Contains javascript files containing Core functionality crucial to ScriptCraft and modules which use it. * drone - Contains the drone module and drone extensions. Drone was the first scriptcraft module. * ext - Contains external 3rd party javascript libraries (e.g. json2.js - the JSON lib) * mini-games - Contains mini-games * arrows - The arrows module * signs - The signs module * chat - The chat plugin/module * alias - The alias plugin/module ## Core Module This module defines commonly used functions by all plugins... * echo (message) - Displays a message on the screen. For example: `/js echo('Hello World')` will print Hello World on the in-game chat window. For programmers familiar with Javascript web programming, an `alert` function is also provided. `alert` works exactly the same as `echo` e.g. `alert('Hello World')` * load (filename,warnOnFileNotFound) - loads and evaluates a javascript file, returning the evaluated object. * save (object, filename) - saves an object to a file. * plugin (name, interface, isPersistent) - defines a new plugin. If isPersistent is true then the plugin doesn't have to worry about loading and saving state - that will be done by the framework. Just make sure that anything you want to save (and restore) is in the plugin's 'store' property - this will be created automatically if not already defined. (its type is object {} ) . More on plugins below. * ready (function) - specifies code to be executed only when all the plugins have loaded. * command (name, function) - defines a command that can be used by non-operators. The `command` function provides a way for plugin developers to provide new commands for use by players. ### load() function The load() function is used by ScriptCraft at startup to load all of the javascript modules and data. You normally wouldn't need to call this function directly. If you put a javascript file anywhere in the craftbukkit/js-plugins directory tree it will be loaded automatically when craftbukkit starts up. The exception is files whose name begins with an underscore `_` character. These files will not be automatically loaded at startup as they are assumed to be files managed / loaded by plugins. #### Parameters * filename - The name of the file to load. * warnOnFileNotFound (optional - default: false) - warn if the file was not found. #### Return load() will return the result of the last statement evaluated in the file. #### Example load(__folder + "myFile.js"); // loads a javascript file and evaluates it. var myData = load("myData.json"); // loads a javascript file and evaluates it - eval'd contents are returned. myData.json contents... __data = { players: { walterh: { h: ["jsp home {1}"], sunny:["time set 0", "weather clear"] } } } ### save() function The save() function saves an in-memory javascript object to a specified file. Under the hood, save() uses JSON (specifically json2.js) to save the object. Again, there will usually be no need to call this function directly as all javascript plugins' state are saved automatically if they are declared using the `plugin()` function. Any in-memory object saved using the `save()` function can later be restored using the `load()` function. #### Parameters * objectToSave : The object you want to save. * filename : The name of the file you want to save it to. #### Example var myObject = { name: 'John Doe', aliases: ['John Ray', 'John Mee'], date_of_birth: '1982/01/31' }; save(myObject, 'johndoe.json'); johndoe.json contents... var __data = { "name": "John Doe", "aliases": ["John Ray", "John Mee"], "date_of_birth": "1982/01/31" }; ### plugin() function The `plugin()` function should be used to declare a javascript module whose state you want to have managed by ScriptCraft - that is - a Module whose state will be loaded at start up and saved at shut down. A plugin is just a regular javascript object whose state is managed by ScriptCraft. The only member of the plugin which whose persistence is managed by Scriptcraft is `store` - this special member will be automatically saved at shutdown and loaded at startup by ScriptCraft. This makes it easier to write plugins which need to persist data. #### Parameters * pluginName (String) : The name of the plugin - this becomes a global variable. * pluginDefinition (Object) : The various functions and members of the plugin object. * isPersistent (boolean - optional) : Specifies whether or not the plugin/object state should be loaded and saved by ScriptCraft. #### Example See chat/color.js for an example of a simple plugin - one which lets players choose a default chat color. See also [Anatomy of a ScriptCraft Plugin][anatomy]. [anatomy]: http://walterhiggins.net/blog/ScriptCraft-1-Month-later ### command() function The `command()` function is used to expose javascript functions for use by non-operators (regular players). Only operators should be allowed use raw javascript using the `/js ` command because it is too powerful for use by regular players and can be easily abused. However, the `/jsp ` command lets you (the operator / server administrator / plugin author) safely expose javascript functions for use by players. #### Parameters * commandName : The name to give your command - the command will be invoked like this by players `/jsp commandName` * commandFunction: The javascript function which will be invoked when the command is invoked by a player. * options (Array - optional) : An array of command options/parameters which the player can supply (It's useful to supply an array so that Tab-Completion works for the `/jsp ` commands. * intercepts (boolean - optional) : Indicates whether this command can intercept Tab-Completion of the `/jsp ` command - advanced usage - see alias/alias.js for example. #### Example See chat/colors.js or alias/alias.js or homes/homes.js for examples of how to use the `command()` function. ### ready() function The `ready()` function provides a way for plugins to do additional setup once all of the other plugins/modules have loaded. For example, event listener registration can only be done after the events/events.js module has loaded. A plugin author could load the file explicilty like this... load(__folder + "../events/events.js"); // event listener registration goes here ... or better still, just do event regristration using the `ready()` handler knowing that by the time the `ready()` callback is invoked, all of the scriptcraft modules have been loaded... ready(function(){ // event listener registration goes here // code that depends on other plugins/modules also goes here }); The execution of the function object passed to the `ready()` function is *deferred* until all of the plugins/modules have loaded. That way you are guaranteed that when the function is invoked, all of the plugins/modules have been loaded and evaluated and are ready to use. ***/ var global = this; /************************************************************************* Core Module - Special Variables =============================== There are a couple of special javascript variables available in ScriptCraft... * __folder - The current working directory - this variable is only to be used within the main body of a .js file. * __plugin - The ScriptCraft JavaPlugin object. * server - The Minecraft Server object. * self - the current player.
