# Brigadier support
???+ warning "Brigadier dependency for spigot-api users"
(You only have to do the following if you are using the `spigot-api` instead of the `spigot` dependency!) <br>
Whilst Spigot itself depends on [Brigadier](https://github.com/Mojang/brigadier#gradle) the Spigot API doesn't so in order for this feature to work you need to add Brigadier as a `compileOnly` dependency. More information on that can be found here: [https://github.com/Mojang/brigadier#gradle](https://github.com/Mojang/brigadier#gradle)
## Create a command
```kotlin
command("mycommand") {
// the command body
}
```
???+ danger
Do not add the command in your plugin.yml, this will interfere with Brigadier
## Register the command
The command will be automatically registered by default, **if you are initializing it before the end of the `startup` call
to your plugin.**
Otherwise, you can register it manually using the `command.register()` function (where command is the command instance
which the `command(name)` function returns).
## Command features
???+ danger "Where to call these? How to structure these?"
All the following features can be used inside the command body. <br>
You can infinitely nest all these functions, resulting in complex command structures. <br>
### Execution handler
You can define your execution logic using the `executes` (with a status code) or `runs` function.
#### Runs
Setting the status code explicitly:
```kotlin
runs { context ->
context.bukkitSender.sendMessage("hey gamer ;)")
return@runs 1
}
```
Alternatively you could use it as following:
```kotlin
runs {
this.sender.bukkitSender.sendMessage("hey gamer ;)")
}
```
Automatically returning the status code 1.
#### Executes
```kotlin
executes { context ->
context.bukkitSender.sendMessage("hey gamer ;)")
return@executes 1
}
```
???+ info
The execution and suggestion providers always do only apply to the location in the tree where they are
defined.
#### The command context
You can use the command context in `executes` to get the command source. You can use the source for:
- `source.bukkitSender` to get the `CommandSender`
- `source.player` ensure that a player executed the command and get that `Player`
- `source.bukkitWorld` to get the world of the executor
If you are using `runs`, you can access these by using `sender` instead of `source`.
### Literals (subcommands)
```kotlin
literal("mysubcommand") {
// the command body for this part of the command tree
}
```
### Arguments
```kotlin
argument("argumentname", StringArgumentType.string()) {
// the command body (inside this body, the argument exists in the context)
}
```
The argument name will be displayed to the player. Also, it can be used to retrieve the value of the argument the
execution handler.
#### Argument type
The second parameter of the argument function is the argument type. There are a lot of pre-defined argument types by
brigadier.
The argument types for all primitives can be accessed in the following pattern: `NameArgumentType.name()` (where name is the name of the primitive)
```kotlin
// examples:
StringArgumentType.string()
BoolArgumentType.bool()
IntegerArgumentType.integer()
```
#### Retrieve the value of an argument
The value of the argument can be retrieved from the command context.
```kotlin
argument("argumentname", StringArgumentType.string()) {
runs {
val argValue = this.getArgument<String>("argumentname")
// or using reified you can omit the type sometimes
mapWhereTheKeysAreStrings[this.getArgument("argumentname")]
}
}
```
### Suggestions
You can provide argument suggestions using the `suggestList` function. It is **not** recommended using the default
`suggests` function.
```kotlin
suggestList { Material.values().toList() }
```
If you want to do heavy operations inside the suggest functions, you should use `suggestListSuspending`
The body of the `suggestListSuspending` function is suspending, meaning you can use kotlinx.coroutines in it.
