Input Validation

Available on versions 2.4.0+ of CommandPrompter

CommandPrompter's input validation uses regex to check for the input. To use it, you have to define an input validator in the prompt-config.ym under the key Input-Validation and use it as a prompt argument for your prompt

Input Validator

An input validator could have any key. But under that key, there must be an Alias and Regex key. There's also an optional key that you can set called Err-Message. The following is an example of an input validators that's included with CommandPrompter by default.

Input-Validation:
  Integer-Sample:
    Alias: is
    Regex: '^\d+'
    Err-Message: '&cPlease enter a valid integer!'
  Alpha-Sample:
    Alias: as
    Regex: '[A-Za-z ]+'
    Err-Message: '&cInput must only consist letters of the alphabet!'

Usage

Once you have input validators defined, you can use them by using the the prompt argument -iv:<validator alias>. For example:

/command <-iv:is integers only!>
/command <-iv:as alphas only!>

Since it's a prompt argument, it won't affect other prompt's input validation so you can have something like the following:

/command <-iv:is enter only integers> <-iv:as enter only alphas>

If it doesn't pass the regex test, the plugin sends the err message and sends the prompt again.
