public interface IMentionable
extends Formattable, ISnowflake

Marks a mentionable entity.

Formattable
This interface extends Formattable and can be used with a Formatter such as used by String.format(String, Object...) or PrintStream.printf(String, Object...).

This will use getAsMention() rather than Object.toString()!
Supported Features:

• Width/Left-Justification
  - Ensures the size of a format (Example: %20s - uses at minimum 20 chars; %-10s - uses left-justified padding)
• Precision
  - Cuts the content to the specified size (Example: %.20s)

More information on formatting syntax can be found in the format syntax documentation!
Note: Some implementations also support the alternative flag.

Since:

3.0
