+ | ====== Inject an interface ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is a new tecnique introduced by Loom 0.11 to add methods into a specific existing class. | ||
+ | More specifically, | ||
+ | As result the target class will acquire all the methods of the interface, as if it always had them. | ||
+ | Interface injection is a compile time only feature, this means that a Mixin should also be used to implement the interface into the target class. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is particulatly useful for libraries, with this you can add new methods to existing classes and use them without the need of casting or reimplementing the interface every time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let's explain better with an example: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The scope of this example is to add the following method into FlowableFluid to get the sound of the bucket when emptied. | ||
+ | This, normally, is not possible because FlowableFluid does not has a similar method. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code java [enable_line_numbers=" | ||
+ | Optional< | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To add the method into the class, first of all you need to create an interface with it: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code java [enable_line_numbers=" | ||
+ | package net.fabricmc.example; | ||
+ | |||
+ | public interface BucketEmptySoundGetter { | ||
+ | Optional< | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now you need to implement this interface into FlowableFluid with a mixin implementing the interface: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code java [enable_line_numbers=" | ||
+ | @Mixin(FlowableFluid.class) | ||
+ | public class MixinFlowableFluid implements BucketEmptySoundGetter { | ||
+ | @Override | ||
+ | public Optional< | ||
+ | //This is how to get the default sound, copied from BucketItem class. | ||
+ | return Optional.of(((FlowableFluid) (Object) this).isIn(FluidTags.LAVA) ? SoundEvents.ITEM_BUCKET_EMPTY_LAVA : SoundEvents.ITEM_BUCKET_EMPTY); | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lastly you need to inject the interface into FabricFluid. | ||
+ | The following snippet can be added to your fabric.mod.json file to add one or more interfaces to the net/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code json [enable_line_numbers=" | ||
+ | { | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now you can use the new method: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code java [enable_line_numbers=" | ||
+ | Optional< | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You could also override this method in classes extending FlowableFluid to implement custom behaviours. |
