Interface OutputExtensionModel<X,T>

All Superinterfaces:

Identifiable

public interface OutputExtensionModel<X,T>
extends Identifiable

OutputExtension's purpose is to take resourceData and convert it into another data format so that it can be rendered correctly by the output-plugin. These objects are represented in the form of future objects that are stored in tDoneList

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	canRun(EventModel event) Checks if the outputExtension can execute with the current event

com.google.common.reflect.TypeToken<T>	getArgumentType() returns the Type of the Argument or null if none
String	getPluginId() Gets the id of the output-plugin the outputExtension belongs to
