Event
Lets you run code when receiving a specific event, while not blocking threads nor having listeners everywhere, and being able to capture existing variables.
You can set multiple preconditions, timeouts and actions to run when the event gets received / has an exception, etc...
Example
This example uses every action, has a timeout of 1 second and only triggers if the caller is the same as the user who triggered the previously entered command
final Future<MessageReceivedEvent> future = EventWaiter.of(MessageReceivedEvent.class)
.setOnComplete((f, evt, throwable) -> System.out.println("Completed with an event " + evt + " or an exception " + throwable))
.setOnTimeout(() -> System.err.println("Timeout"))
.setOnSuccess(evt -> System.out.println("Success, received event: " + evt))
.setOnCancelled(() -> System.err.println("Cancelled"))
.setTimeout(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
// Here "event" is the original event, such as a MessageReceivedEvent
.addPrecondition(e -> e.getAuthor().getIdLong() == event.getAuthor().getIdLong())
.submit();
// If you want to cancel the event waiter
//future.cancel(true);
// While I recommend to stick to setOnSuccess / setOnComplete,
// you can use this if you need to block while waiting for the event,
// but be aware that this might block a thread indefinitely if you're not careful.
try {
final MessageReceivedEvent messageReceivedEvent = future.get();
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
LOGGER.error("Error waiting for event", e);
