TextComponent serialization

TextComponent serializer library for Spigot!

How to include

Repository

You need to add the JitPack repository.

Gradle

repositories {
  // ...
  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

Maven

<repositories>
  <!-- ... -->
  <repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Dependency

Then add the dependency to the project.

Gradle

dependencies {
  // ...
  implementation 'me.patrykanuszczyk:textcomponentserialization:VERSION'
}

Maven

<dependencies>
  <!-- ... -->
  <dependency>
    <groupId>me.patrykanuszczyk</groupId>
    <artifactId>textcomponentserialization</artifactId>
    <version>VERSION</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

VERSION must be replaced with a valid version tag, e.g. 1.0, or, if you wish to use an unpublished version, using short commit hash or branch-SNAPSHOT.
For more information, check out JitPack documentation.

Shading bStats

Shading copies all the necessary classes to your plugin, when building it, and relocates the library to another package to avoid conflicts between versions, etc.
You can do it, using shading plugins for maven or gradle.

Gradle

plugins {
  id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '5.2.0'
}

shadowJar {
  relocate 'me.patrykanuszczyk.textcomponentserialization', 'YOUR.PACKAGE'
}

Maven

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>3.2.0</version>
      <configuration>
        <relocations>
          <relocation>
            <pattern>me.patrykanuszczyk.textcomponentserialization</pattern>
            <shadedPattern>YOUR.PACKAGE</shadedPattern>
          </relocation>
        </relocations>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <phase>package</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>shade</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

YOUR.PACKAGE must be replaced with the package you want to move the library to when building. I suggest setting it to a subpackage of your plugin.
