LibAboutPanel-2.0

LibAboutPanel-2.0

LibAboutPanel-2.0 is a World of Warcraft Lua library for displaying addon metadata in Blizzard's Settings UI or as an AceConfig-3.0-compatible options table. It works with all valid WoW clients.

Requirements

• Required: LibStub
• Optional: AceConfig-3.0, if using :AboutOptionsTable()

Quick Usage

For Ace3 addons, embed LibAboutPanel-2.0 when creating your addon object:

local MyAddon = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("MyAddon", "LibAboutPanel-2.0")

For non-Ace3 addons, embed the library into your addon object:

LibStub("LibAboutPanel-2.0"):Embed(MyAddon)

Or use it directly:

local LAP = LibStub("LibAboutPanel-2.0")

Create a Blizzard Settings About panel:

MyAddon:CreateAboutPanel("MyAddon")
-- or
LAP:CreateAboutPanel("MyAddon")

Create an AceConfig-3.0-compatible About options table:

options.args.about = MyAddon:AboutOptionsTable("MyAddon")

AboutOptionsTable() only returns the table. Your addon is responsible for registering it with AceConfig-3.0 or embedding it in an existing options table.
