Amaterasu

Amaterasu is a ChatTriggers library designed to make creating and using a settings GUI simple and efficient.

Some Gloating:

• cool gui
• fully customizable color scheme
• search bar + working search tags
• custom sorting
• no memory leak (sad vigilance noises)
• markdown support
• support for many different property types (e.g. Keybind, TextParagraph, MultiCheckbox, etc)
• flexible "config dependencies"
• no red squiggly lines

Installation:

Add "Amaterasu" into your requires array in metadata.json

For more information on porting Vigilance settings into Amaterasu settings, see How to migrate vigilance settings

Documentation

If you are coming from Vigilance and would prefer a table of equilavent properties, they can be found here.

intellisense will carry, jsdocs should be fine (read through code if you need to do anything not covered in Usage)

IMPORTANT:

if you do not create the DefaultConfig correctly, your typings will NOT WORK

// GOOD CODE
const defaultConf = new DefaultConfig("example", "data/settings.json")
  .addButton({})
  // more things
  .addToggle({})

// BAD CODE
const defaultConf = new DefaultConfig("example", "data/settings.json")
defaultConf
  .addButton({})
  // more things
  .addToggle({})

Usage

See Installation.

Basic Usage

use intellisense or be blind your choice

DefaultConfig and Settings are the main 2 things.

DefaultConfig is for the "structure" of your config (i.e. defining your properties and such)

Settings is for all the gui things: color scheme, sorting, etc.

how to use:

1. create file for your config stuff
2. import things
3. create your DefaultConfig
4. populate your DefaultConfig using .add_____ (e.g. .addButton)
5. using your DefaultConfig, create a Settings
6. do things you need to do with your Settings
7. export default mySettings.settings
8. (in another file) import your settings e.g. import settings from "./myConfig"
9. profit settings.myProperty

Custom Size & Position

[Settings].
    setSize(width, height)
    .setPosition(x, y)
    .apply()

The #apply method needs to be called so it can reload the GUI with the given values

Color Schemes

apply using .setScheme(/**/).apply() or Settings constructor

schema can be found here

The Custom AmaterasuSchemes Repo can also be used:

// Import setter method for scheme
import { setCustomScheme } from "../Amaterasu/core/RepoSchemes"

[Settings]
    .addButton({
        configName: "apply",
        title: "Apply Changes",
        description: "Applies the new scheme",
        onClick(setting) {
            // Pass in the settings instance and the current input value
            setCustomScheme(setting, setting.settings.customScheme)
        }
    })
    .addTextInput({
        configName: "customScheme",
        title: "Custom Scheme",
        description: "Input the custom scheme name from the github repo here",
        placeHolder: "Amaterasu"
    })

Dynamic Description Height

// How to disable wrap so you can have dynamic description height
const textWrap = config.AmaterasuGui.descriptionElement.textWrap
textWrap.enabled = false // Set to false so the description does not get wrapped
textWrap.linesLimit = 2 // Set the limit of vertical lines (`2` is set by default so you can avoid setting it)
textWrap.removeLines = 1 // Set the amount of lines to remove when calculating the new height (`1` is set by default this is mostly for padding issues)
textWrap.wrapHeight = 7 // Set the amount of "text height" this is the value that will be used to calculate the new height (`7` is set by default)

// Now we call apply so our changes work
config.AmaterasuGui.apply()

Yeah sadly for the normal developer decimal slider isn't very straight forward (thanks past docilelm). you'd need to pass in the minimum (first value) with a decimal point in order for this to go into the "Decimal Slider" mode.

Button

@ButtonProperty({
    name: "Click me!",

Registering Listeners

    /*

    */
    registerListener(oldText, newText) {
        console.log(`Text changed to ${newText}`)
    }
})
// or
[Settings].registerListener("text", (oldText, newText) => {
    console.log(`Text changed to ${newText}`)
})

---

Dependencies

Vigilance

.addDependency("Checkbox", "Do action!!!")

Amaterasu

.add____({
    title: "Do action!!!",
    /*

    */
    shouldShow: data => data.myCheckbox,
    // Or for more beginner friendlyness
    shouldShow(data) {
        return data.myCheckBox
    }
})

---

Settings Title

Vigilance

@Vigilant("Vigilance", "My Settings Title Example", /**/),

Amaterasu

// Fill in the blank spots!
new Settings("Amaterasu", /**/, /**/, "My Settings Title Example")

---

Sorting

Vigilance

getCategoryComparator: () => (a, b) => {},
getPropertyComparator: () => (a, b) => {}

Amaterasu

[Settings].setElementSort((a, b) => {})
[Settings].setCategorySort((a, b) => {})

You need to call the #apply method afterwards for these to actually be taken into consideration by the GUI.

---

[Settings]

If you're still confused what the [Settings] part of this guide is referring to here's an example

This variable holds the [Settings] instance

const setting = new Settings("Amaterasu", config, "data/ColorScheme.json")

---

Here we use it to set a category sort

setting.setCategorySort((a, b) => {}).apply()

---

You can also get this instance from the exported function

For example if you have this

export default setting.settings

You can then get the [Settings] instance by doing

settings.getConfig()
