Corrects an attempted input, as possible. When correction isn't possible or deterministic, simply validate the entry the same way you would for EntryValidator

deserializedChanged

open fun deserializedChanged(old: Any?, new: Any?): Boolean

Specialized equals method for determining if a newly deserialized value is effectively equal to its old counterpart.

deserializeEntry

abstract fun deserializeEntry(toml: TomlElement, errorBuilder: MutableList<String>, fieldName: String, flags: Byte): ValidationResult<T>

Deserializes the provided TomlElement. This deserialization should store the result within this deserializer (deserialize "in-place") as well as returning the result. The return has to have a fallback value.

flags

open fun flags(): Byte

get

abstract fun get(): T

hasFlag

open fun hasFlag(flag: EntryFlag.Flag): Boolean

instanceEntry

abstract fun instanceEntry(): E

Creates as deep a copy as possible of this Entry

isValidEntry

abstract fun isValidEntry(input: Any?): Boolean

Tests an arbitrary input to determine if it is a valid input to this Entry. Inputs are not (necessarily) Entry, the term is used here in the general sense

listenToEntry

abstract fun listenToEntry(listener: Consumer<Entry<T, *>>)

Applies a listener to this entry. The consumer(s) passed be invoked whenever the value of this Entry is updated

serializeEntry

abstract fun serializeEntry(input: T?, errorBuilder: MutableList<String>, flags: Byte): TomlElement

Serializes either the provided input or stored value to a TomlElement

trySet

abstract fun trySet(input: Any?)

Attempts to set an arbitrary input into this Entry. Should fail soft if the input is incompatible

validateEntry

abstract fun validateEntry(input: T, type: EntryValidator.ValidationType): ValidationResult<T>

Validates an input per the provided validation type.

widgetAndTooltipEntry

open fun widgetAndTooltipEntry(choicePredicate: ChoiceValidator<T> = ChoiceValidator.any()): ClickableWidget

Builds a new ClickableWidget and applies a tooltip to it. This shouldn't need to be overridden in most cases

widgetEntry

abstract fun widgetEntry(choicePredicate: ChoiceValidator<T> = ChoiceValidator.any()): ClickableWidget

Builds a new ClickableWidget for use in a config GUI. If the widget is presenting options that could be filtered by the optional ChoiceValidator, those possible selections should be filtered in some way by the validator before presenting to the user.
