About this addon

What it does

NW Libraries A set of libraries for quick development of WoW addons.

 

Why: I made these originally for my projects and as they grew I realized it was time to properly package them. This packaging allows my addons to use these from a single repository, and for other developers to pick and choose their parts to simply drop into their addons.

 

Features: A lot, not limited to:
  • Comm control
  • Premade Components
  • Premade Frames
  • Event Handling
  • Color/Icon standardization
  • Group Control and Information
  • HTHML formatting
  • String/Table/Time functions
  • RH/SR import interfaces
  • Context Menus
  • Item/Buff/Player information
  • Minimaps
  • Options Menu Layout
  • Import/Export/Help Dialogs
  • And much, much more!
FAQ: Q: Why Use this Library? A: Do or do not. These support my addons! I hope they will be of use to others. Maybe there's just one lua in here that solves all your issues. Take it, use it, give me some credit. :)
