◆ expand()

Suggestion com.mojang.brigadier.suggestion.Suggestion.expand ( final String  command,
final StringRange  range 
)

Expands this suggestion by changing the range to the passed one and filling everything that lies outside getText() with characters from the passed command.


Examples with text = ---- and range = 0 and the text to apply it to as abcdefghi:

  • expand("123", StringRange.at(0):
    ----abcdefghi, as the ranges matched and so nothing was changed
  • expand("123", StringRange.at(1):
    a----1bcdefghi, as the passed range (1) was taken and one character from the command was used to fill up the index 1, as the range of the original suggestion was 0
  • expand("123", StringRange.between(1, 3):
    a----123defghi, as the passed range (1,3) was taken and 3 characters from the command were used to fill up the indices 1, 2 and 3, as the range of the original suggestion was 0. It is then inserted after the first character in the text it is applied to (after the a) and replaces everything that lies in its interval (bc).
