PAPIProxyBridge is a library bridge plugin you install on both your backend and proxy servers that allows proxy plugins to format text with PlaceholderAPI placeholders.<\/p>\n

## For server owners
\nThis is a library plugin intended for use with plugins that implement its API. There is nothing to configure.<\/p>\n

Install the latest version of the plugin alongside the PlaceholderAPI plugin on your Spigot (1.16.5+) or the PlaceholderAPI mod on your Fabric (1.19.3+) server, then install the plugin on your BungeeCord or Velocity proxy server.<\/p>\n

Note this plugin is not a replacement for PlaceholderAPI. You still need to install PlaceholderAPI on your Spigot\/Fabric server.<\/p>\n

## For developers
\nPAPIProxyBridge exposes a cross-platform API to let you format text with PlaceholderAPI placeholders.<\/p>\n

\nAdding the library to your project<\/summary>\n

PAPIProxyBridge is available on `repo.william278.net` (view javadocs here). First, add the maven repository to your `build.gradle`:
\n“`groovy
\nrepositories {
\n maven { url ‘https:\/\/repo.william278.net\/releases\/’ }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n

Then add the dependency:
\n“`groovy
\ndependencies {
\n implementation ‘net.william278:papiproxybridge:1.6’
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nExample usage<\/summary>\n

The `PlaceholderAPI` class exposes the API for formatting placeholders. At the moment, only singleton non-bracketed placeholders are supported (more in the future).<\/p>\n

Get an instance of the class with PlaceholderAPI.getInstance(), then use the `#formatPlaceholders` method to format a string with placeholders on a player (specified with UUID for cross-platform simplicity). <\/p>\n

The method returns a CompletableFuture (since we don’t want to lock threads while the proxy networks with players on the backend) that you can use to accept the formatted string.<\/p>\n

“`java
\n\/\/ Format a string with placeholders
\nfinal PlaceholderAPI api = PlaceholderAPI.createInstance();
\nfinal UUID player = player.getUniqueId();
\napi.formatPlaceholders(“Hello %player_name%!”, player).thenAccept(formatted -> {
\n player.sendMessage(formatted);
\n});
\n“`<\/p>\n

Never invoke `#join()` on calls to `#formatPlaceholders`; this is unsafe.<\/p>\n

PAPIProxyBridge caches resolved requests for 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds), to avoid causing excessive traffic over your server’s network channels. You can adjust how long to cache requests for using the `PlaceholderAPI#setCacheExpiry(long)` method.<\/p>\n

There also exists `#formatComponentPlaceholders`. This method allows you to supply a string containing placeholders and receive an adventure component containing the formatted text, which may contain formatting and chat events.
