CollectionSlot and LayoutCollectionSlot

Collection slots are used inside collections. These slots are stored inside a collection, which in turn will contain the actual items in the collection. These slots are used to store all relevant data in one location.

CollectionSlot

The ICollectionSlot interface allows you to implement your own collection slots. By default the CollectionSlot<T> type is used.

using System;
using Devdog.InventoryPlus.Collections;

public class MyCollectionSlot<T> : CollectionSlot<T>
    where T : IEquatable<T>, IStackable
{
    public override void Set(T item, int amount)
    {
        base.Set(item, amount);

        // Implement your own behavior here...
    }
}

LayoutCollectionSlot

The ILayoutCollectionSlot interface allows you to implement your own layout collection slot. By default the LayoutCollectionSlot<T> is used.

using System;
using Devdog.InventoryPlus.Collections;

public class MyLayoutCollectionSlot<T> : LayoutCollectionSlot<T>
    where T : IEquatable<T>, IStackable
{
    public override void Set(T item, int amount)
    {
        base.Set(item, amount);

        // Implement your own behavior here...
    }
}

Using a custom slot in a collection

To use your new Collection slot on any collection we'll have to tell the collection to generate new slots with our new type.

var collection = new Collection<ItemDefinition>(10);
collection.GenerateSlots<MyCollectionSlot<ItemDefinition>>();

var layoutCollection = new LayoutCollection<ItemDefinition>(4, 4);
layoutCollection.GenerateSlots<MyLayoutCollectionSlot<ItemDefinition>>();
