# Special Options

## `ListOption`

List options allow you to easily allow the user to easily append, sort and remove elements from a list, whilst also allowing the use of [regular controllers](/yet-another-config-lib/gui-builder/controllers.md).

These types of options are a hybrid between groups and options, behaving like both, and does not allow for it to be added to a group but must be added to a category directly. Under-the-hood, each option entry is like a regular option, but with no name. This option is a child of a list entry, which has extra buttons to reposition and remove elements.

```java
ListOption.<String>createBuilder()
    .name(Component.literal("List Option"))
    .binding(/* gets and sets a List, requires list field to be not final, does not manipulate the list */)
    .controller(StringControllerBuilder::create) // usual controllers, passed to every entry
    .initial("") // when adding a new entry to the list, this is the initial value it has
    .build()
```

To re-iterate, *EVERY* controller works with lists.

## `LabelOption`

Labels are simply options that display text. Create one like so:

```java
LabelOption.create(Component.literal("Cool label!"))
```

## `ButtonOption`

Button options are options that do an action when pressed. Create one like so:

```java
ButtonOption.createBuilder()
        .name(...)
        .description(...)
        .action((yaclScreen, thisOption) -> { /* do something here */ })
        .build()
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.isxander.dev/yet-another-config-lib/gui-builder/special-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
