Interface UpdateChecker

All Known Implementing Classes:
RecordingAttributeUpdateChecker, TimedUpdateChecker
@PublicSpi public interface UpdateChecker

An implementor of this interface checks for an external change that may affect a built forest fragment. It checks for changes those happened after the forest fragment had been generated.

Here is a basic implementation:

   state = collectState(); // Collect whatever is required to build a forest
   // Generate a forest based on the state
   context.addUpdateChecker(() -> !state.equals(collectState())); // If something has changed, the Structure has to regenerate the forest

If the forest fragment depends only on items those changes are reported to ItemTracker you may consider to addItemChangeFilter.
