About this addon

What it does

RGX | Framework One dependency. Everything your addon suite needs. Retail Library AddOn Overview RGX-Framework is a modern WoW Retail addon framework — an alternative to Ace3. One dependency gives your addon suite events, timers, hooks, slash commands, fonts, colors, textures, dropdowns, UI controls, minimap buttons, options panels, a design system, and more. No embedding. No version conflicts. When the framework updates, every addon on the player's machine benefits automatically. It stays quiet for players and useful for authors. If another addon requires RGX-Framework, install it and leave it enabled. If you are building addons, use it as a single shared library with a clean API — no LibStub, no embedding tax, no legacy compat shims.

Quick Start
## RequiredDeps: RGX-Framework

local RGX = assert(_G.RGXFramework, "MyAddon: RGX not loaded")

RGX.Addon("MyAddon", {
  slash   = "myaddon",
  minimap = true,
  db      = { enabled = true, volume = 80 },
  options = {
    General = {
      { toggle = "enabled", label = "Enable Addon" },
      { slider = "volume",  label = "Volume", min = 0, max = 100 },
    },
  },
  welcome = "loaded — /myaddon for options",
})
One call = saved settings, options panel, slash command, minimap button — all routed through taint-safe framework paths.
