LibNameplate-1.0
NOTE: LibNameplate is no longer supported, if you need a library to access nameplates you should take a look at libNameplateRegistry
The goal of LibNameplate is to let you pull info from nameplates and/or add frames to nameplates. Replacing whole nameplates is probably out of it's scope.
Some features of LibNampelate are:
- LibNameplate keeps track of when nameplates are shown / hidden and has callbacks for these events.
- LibNameplate provides API to pull info from nameplates such as the name, class, threat ect.
- LibNameplate also links GUID's with nameplates allowing you to differentiate nameplates with the same name.
LibNameplate supports the default nameplates as well as Aloft*, Tidy Plates*, caelNameplates* and dNameplates* (see known issues page).
If your nameplate addon alters the existing frames/regions of a nameplate (instead of creating new ones and hiding the Blizzard ones), then that addon's likely not going to work with LibNameplate.
Todo:
- None
To get a handle in lua:
local LibNameplate = LibStub("LibNameplate")

Warning: Replacing or altering existing elements of a nameplate could break LibNameplate's API. If you plan on doing this, please let me know so I can add support for your modifications.
