Converter<T> class

Contains metadata and parsing capabilities for a given type.

A Converter will convert textual user input received from the Discord API to the type requested by the current command. It also contains metadata about the type it converts.

nyxx_commands provides a set of converters for common argument types, a list of which can be found below. These converters are automatically added to CommandsPlugin instances and do not need to be added manually.

The list of default converters is as follows:

• stringConverter, which converts Strings;
• intConverter, which converts ints;
• doubleConverter, which converts doubles;
• boolConverter, which converts bools;
• snowflakeConverter, which converts Snowflakes;
• memberConverter, which converts Members;
• userConverter, which converts Users;
• guildChannelConverter, which converts GuildChannels;
• textGuildChannelConverter, which converts GuildTextChannels;
• voiceGuildChannelConverter, which converts GuildVoiceChannels;
• stageVoiceChannelConverter, which converts GuildStageChannels;
• roleConverter, which converts Roles;
• mentionableConverter, which converts CommandOptionMentionables;
• attachmentConverter, which converts Attachments.

You can override these default implementations with your own by calling CommandsPlugin.addConverter with your own converter for one of the types mentioned above.
