Developer API

How can I add a developer API to my plugin like on Economy?

Now if you know proper php, you can do YourClassAPI::getInstance()->whatEverFunction()

PHP:

private static $instance;//instance
public function onLoad(){
self::$instance = $this;//your plugin class
}
public static function getInstance(){
return self::$instance;//get class
}

As @PEMapModder previously told me, that is a kind of bad practice

He wanted an api, "like on Economy" by @onebone . Like when you do EconomyAPI::getInstance()->addMoney("dot", 1);. The other way is $this->getServer()->getPluginManager()->getPlugin("YourPluginName")->whatEverFunction();

Does he want to USE an API or MAKE one.

Do not use ::getInstance. That is some bad practice right there.

That's why I said he can get the plugin directly, I know it is much faster than static functions/methods. Either way, there are still ways to make an API.

If you are talking how to make a Developer API:

Make everything that you do, everything that you fetch data through, everything that you execute, public functions. That's all.

To create events, I think that thread already exists.
