About wow-lua-api

A skill providing Lua 5.1 function references and WoW-specific behavior for World of Warcraft Retail addon development. It covers standard libraries, WoW helpers, deprecated functions, and usage caveats, excluding OS and file I/O libraries.

Key features

  1. 01Covers Lua 5.1 base functions
  2. 02Documents WoW-specific helpers and differences
  3. 03References string and table libraries
  4. 04Covers math, bit, and coroutine libraries
  5. 05Lists deprecated functions and caveats

Use cases

  1. 01Look up behavior of Lua functions used in addons
  2. 02Check function signatures in the WoW environment
  3. 03Review string and table method syntax
  4. 04Verify API availability and deprecation

WoW Lua API (Lua 5.1)

Scope

  • Retail only.
  • Covers the Lua functions list and WoW-specific notes from warcraft.wiki.gg.
  • Does not cover OS or file IO libraries (they are not available in the WoW client).

When to use this skill

  • You need behavior or signatures for base Lua 5.1 functions used in addons.
  • You want Blizzard-specific differences (for example degrees vs radians).
  • You need WoW-only helpers like strsplit, table.wipe, or fastrandom.

How to use this skill

  1. Start with references/OVERVIEW.md for environment notes and scope.
  2. Use the library reference that matches the function you need.
  3. Read the detail files for method-call syntax and table method caveats.
