LibOptionsAssist-1.1

Version: 1.1.4

by: Vrul [More]

An alternative to using the AceGUI container BlizOptionsGroup to create entries in the Blizzard options panel. All entries created use the same frame objects allowing for minimal memory use. An entry can be created and an options table assigned to it later allowing for LOD options. The library monitors for AceConfigDialog-3.0, AceConfigRegistry-3.0, and AceGUI-3.0 to be loaded before using them to further facilitate LOD behavior.

Example usage (basic):

Code:

-- In main module (myAddon):
myAddon.config = LibStub('LibOptionsAssist-1.1').AddEntry("myAddon", nil, "myAddon_Config")
myAddon.config:SetInfo(format("Version: %s", GetAddOnMetadata("myAddon", 'Version')))

-- In LOD module (myAddon_Config):
LibStub('AceConfigRegistry-3.0'):RegisterOptionsTable("myAddon", myAddon.options)
myAddon.config:AssignOptions("myAddon")

Example usage (w/ FetchData):

Code:

-- In main module:
local addonName, addon = ...
addon.config = LibStub('LibOptionsAssist-1.1').AddEntry(addonName, nil, { addonName .. "_Config", addonName, addon })
addon.config:SetInfo(format("Version: %s", GetAddOnMetadata(addonName, 'Version')))

-- In LOD module:
local addonName, addon = LibStub('LibOptionsAssist-1.1').FetchData()
LibStub('AceConfigRegistry-3.0'):RegisterOptionsTable(addonName, addon.options)
addon.config:AssignOptions(addonName)

API

entry = lib.AddEntry(name [, parent [, loadOnDemand [, key]]])

Add an entry to Blizzard's interface options panel under the AddOns tab.

Arguments:

name - (string) The text to appear in the Blizzard options panel under the AddOns tab.

parent - (string) If this is to be a child entry then this should be the name that was used to create
the parent entry.

loadOnDemand - (string) If it is a child entry and the string "parent" is initially passed then the load on demand behavior of the parent will be used instead.
(function) Will be run the first time the entry is selected, passing entry as it's only argument. Any returns will be placed into the array portion of a table and processed as if that table was given.

(table) The value at index 1 should be a string and will be processed as if that string was given. Any remaining array values will be available as returns from the lib.FetchData function.

(string) An addon with that name will be loaded if it isn't already.

key - (any) A value used to prevent the Recycle method from removing the metatable from the entry.

Returns:

entry - (table) A table with the required fields to work with the Blizzard options panel (see Entries below).

... = lib.FetchData()

Returns any available values during the load on demand processing as described in the lib.AddEntry function.

Entries

Any entry created by lib.AddEntry() is a normal table that emulates certain frame methods to allow it to work in the Blizzard options panel. A metatable provides the following frame-like methods: ClearAllPoints, GetScript, HasScript, Hide, IsShown, IsVisible, SetAllPoints, SetParent, SetPoint, SetScript, SetShown, and Show. The only scripts supported by an entry are OnHide and OnShow. The metatable also provides a dummy function for the fields: cancel, defaults, okay, and refresh.

The entry may also be treated like a function, with entry() being the same as entry:Open(). Entries also have the following additional methods:

entry:AssignOptions(name [, ...])

Set the AceConfigRegistry-3.0 table to be used to display options when the entry is selected.

Arguments:

name - (string) A name as from an AceConfigRegistry-3.0 RegisterOptionsTable call.

entry:Recycle([key])

Removes the entry, and any children, from Blizzard's options panel. May also optionally remove the metatable from entry as well as removing all internal references so that it may be be garbage collected.

key - (any) This value must match what was provided via AddEntry or SetKey to remove the metatable and allow garbage collection.
