# Night Auto Config Serialize everything! **Night Auto Config** is a **[Night Config](https://github.com/TheElectronWill/Night-Config)** integration for **[Auto Config (now embedded in Cloth Config).](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config)** ## Implementation **Night Auto Config** introduces a `NightConfigSerializer` to satisfy **Auto Config**'s requirement of a serializer's implementation. You can choose from all the available config formats of **Night Config,** and use the serializer just as other common serializers, even along with a `PartitioningSerializer`. ### Add to Your Project It is recommended to use **[JitPack](https://jitpack.io/#KessokuTeaTime/Night-Auto-Config)** to implement **Night Auto Config** into your project.

Groovy

build.gradle

```groovy repositories { maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } } dependencies { modApi "com.github.KessokuTeaTime:Night-Auto-Config:${project.nightautoconfig_version}" // You'll need to implement Cloth Config API here. } ```

gradle.properties

``` nightautoconfig_version={latest} ```

Kotlin DSL

build.gradle.kts

```kotlin repositories { maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") } } dependencies { modApi("com.github.KessokuTeaTime:Night-Auto-Config:${project.nightautoconfig_version}") // You'll need to implement Cloth Config API here. } ```

gradle.properties

``` nightautoconfig_version={latest} ```

> You should replace `{latest}` with the latest [`tag name`](https://github.com/KessokuTeaTime/Night-Auto-Config/tags) of **Night Auto Config.** ### Reference as Dependency Don't forget to reference **Night Auto Config** as dependency in your mod's metadata.

fabric.mod.json / quilt.mod.json

```json { "depends": { "nightautoconfig": "*" } } ``` ## Usage The serializer implementation is at [`band.kessokuteatime.nightautoconfig.config.NightConfigSerializer`](https://github.com/KessokuTeaTime/Night-Auto-Config/blob/fabric/1.21/src/main/java/band/kessokuteatime/nightautoconfig/config/NightConfigSerializer.java). Here's a brief example: `MyConfig.java` ```java // Use annotations provided by Night Auto Config to define serializer providers and deserializer providers at runtime! @SerializerProvider(MyClassSerializerProvider.class) @Config(name = "my_config") public class MyConfig implements ConfigData { // Something... private transient final Supplier someStringProvider = () -> "default"; // All Night Config annotations are available @SerdeDefault(provider = "someStringProvider") public String someString = someStringProvider.get(); // Night Auto Config provides some interfaces for convenience implementations // For example, `UnifiedSerializerProvider` satisfies both `ValueSerializer` and `ValueSerializerProvider` public static class MyClassSerializerProvider implements UnifiedSerializerProvider { // ... } // A custom serializer provider for `MyClass` is already specified at type definition public MyClass someInstance = new MyClass(); } ``` `MyMod.java` ```java public class MyMod implements ModInitializer { @Override public void onInitialize() { // Don't remember to register into Auto Config at initialize AutoConfig.register(NightExampleConfig.class, ConfigType.DEFAULT_COMMENTED::fileWatcherSerializer); } } ``` For runtime examples, checkout [this package.](https://github.com/KessokuTeaTime/Night-Auto-Config/blob/fabric/1.21/src/main/java/band/kessokuteatime/nightautoconfig/example/config) > Please annotate your fields with [`com.electronwill.nightconfig.core.serde.annotations.SerdeDefault`](https://github.com/TheElectronWill/night-config/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/electronwill/nightconfig/core/serde/annotations/SerdeDefault.java) for basic compatibilities! Otherwise, serialization exceptions may happen casually.
