LibSpecialization

A library for transmitting your talent string and specialization to other players, that developers can embed in their addons.

How do I fetch it into my addon?

You will need to use the .pkgmeta file to automatically pull this library into your addon. Your .pkgmeta file should include the following:

externals:
    Libs/LibSpecialization: https://github.com/BigWigsMods/LibSpecialization.git/LibSpecialization

How do I load it?

The same way you would any other file in your addon. For example, in your .toc file you could define the following:

Libs\LibSpecialization\LibSpecialization.lua

How do I use it (API)?

LibSpecialization.RegisterGroup(myUniqueTable, function)

myUniqueTable - A table that is unique to your addon, so that it can be identified if you ever want to unregister it. function - A function reference, this will run when receiving specialization information from players.

LibSpecialization.UnregisterGroup(myUniqueTable)

myUniqueTable - The table unique to your addon that you provided when registering.

LibSpecialization.MySpecialization() returns [specId, role, position, talents]

Returns specialization information of your character.

LibSpecialization.RequestGroupSpecialization()

You should never need to use this. LibSpecialization automatically handles re-transmission when group members change spec.

LibSpecialization.RegisterPlayerSpecChange(myUniqueTable, function)

myUniqueTable - A table that is unique to your addon, so that it can be identified if you ever want to unregister it. function - A function reference, this will run whenever the player's spec changes. Nothing is passed to this function, it's just a notification event.

LibSpecialization.UnregisterPlayerSpecChange(myUniqueTable)

myUniqueTable - The table unique to your addon that you provided when registering.

Example code:

local LibSpecialization = LibStub("LibSpecialization")
local myUniqueTable = {}

-- specId=Number, the spec ID of the player
-- role=String, the role of the player (TANK or HEALER or DAMAGER)
-- position=String, the position of the player (MELEE or RANGED)
-- playerName=String, the name of the player
-- talents=String, a representation of the chosen player talents that will be in a different format based on WoW flavor (Retail, MoP, etc)
LibSpecialization.RegisterGroup(myUniqueTable, function(specId, role, position, playerName, talents)
	print(string.format("%s has a spec ID of %d and is a %s in the %s camp. Their talent string is %s.", playerName, specId, role, position, talents))
end)

Can I use it to check my guild also (API)?

LibSpecialization.RegisterGuild(myUniqueTable, function)

myUniqueTable - A table that is unique to your addon, so that it can be identified if you ever want to unregister it. function - A function reference, this will run when receiving specialization information from players.

LibSpecialization.UnregisterGuild(myUniqueTable)

myUniqueTable - The table unique to your addon that you provided when registering.

LibSpecialization.RequestGuildSpecialization()

Request specialization information from your guild members.
