How to use ForgePerms

This will explain how to use the ForgePerms API within your mod, without making it a required dependency.

We will be using Java reflect to get all the methods needed.

First you want to get the 2 classes (ForgePerms and PermissionsBase) like this:

Class ForgePerms = Class.forName("com.sperion.forgeperms.ForgePerms"); //Used only to get the actual permission handler Class PermissionsBase = Class.forName("com.sperion.forgeperms.PermissionsBase"); //Is the base of all permission managers in ForgePerms

Using those two classes, you would get the methods needed like this

Method getPermissionHandler = ForgePerms.getMethod("getPermissionHandler"); Method canAccess = PermissionsBase.getMethod("canAccess", String, String, String); Method getPrefix = PermissionsBase.getMethod("getPrefix", String, String); Method getPostfix = PermissionsBase.getMethod("getPostfix", String, String); Method getOption = PermissionsBase.getMethod("getOption", String, String, String, String); //Not supported except with PEX Forge edition

Once you have Classes and Methods, all that is left is to get the handler and call the methods you need.

Class permHandler = getPermissionHandler.invoke(null); canAccess.invoke(permHandler, username, world, node); //Will return a bool getPrefix.invoke(permHandler, username, world); //Will return a string of the users prefix getPostfix.invoke(permHandler, username, world); //Will return a string of the users postfix/suffix getOption.invoke(permHandler, username, world, node, default); //Will return a string with the users option

Hopefully I didn't make any mistakes. Always remember to use try catch when dealing with Java Reflect and always check if something is null before using!

If you have any questions, please ask.
