wowkitTypeScript for World of Warcraft: Forever addons

A layer of small packages, compiled to Lua with TypeScriptToLua, written to be read by people. An AI writes most of the code; the rules make sure a person can still read, review and change it.

Getting started

Design goal

Learning guide

API reference

Written to be read

Names that read like English, small files and functions, one job for each class. Every rule is checked by a tool, so it holds for code a person wrote and for code an AI wrote.

The design goal

Plain classes, wired by hand

A service is a class that asks for what it needs in its constructor. No container, no magic; a missing dependency is a compile error.

How it is built

The game's door

One package answers every question about the game (spells, auras, action bars, the party), so the quirks of the client live in one place.

Packages and addons

Tested without the game

The specs are TypeScript too. They run the built addon in LuaJIT against a fake game.

Build your first addon

The IDs are checked

A developer addon asks the client about every spell and item ID the code uses, and a check compares the answers with the code.
