WowAce

AceConfigCmd-3.0 handles access to an options table through the "command line" interface via the ChatFrames.

AceConfigCmd:CreateChatCommand(slashcmd, appName)

Utility function to create a slash command handler.
Also registers tab completion with AceTab

Parameters

slashcmd

The slash command WITHOUT leading slash (only used for error output)

appName

The application name as given to `:RegisterOptionsTable()`

AceConfigCmd:GetChatCommandOptions(slashcmd)

Utility function that returns the options table that belongs to a slashcommand.
Designed to be used for the AceTab interface.

Parameters

slashcmd

The slash command WITHOUT leading slash (only used for error output)

Return value

The options table associated with the slash command (or nil if the slash command was not registered)

AceConfigCmd:HandleCommand(slashcmd, appName, input)

Handle the chat command.
This is usually called from a chat command handler to parse the command input as operations on an aceoptions table.
AceConfigCmd uses this function internally when a slash command is registered with `:CreateChatCommand`

Parameters

slashcmd

The slash command WITHOUT leading slash (only used for error output)

appName

The application name as given to `:RegisterOptionsTable()`

input

The commandline input (as given by the WoW handler, i.e. without the command itself)

Usage

MyAddon = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("MyAddon", "AceConsole-3.0")
-- Use AceConsole-3.0 to register a Chat Command
MyAddon:RegisterChatCommand("mychat", "ChatCommand")

-- Show the GUI if no input is supplied, otherwise handle the chat input.
function MyAddon:ChatCommand(input)
  -- Assuming "MyOptions" is the appName of a valid options table
  if not input or input:trim() == "" then
    LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open("MyOptions")
  else
    LibStub("AceConfigCmd-3.0").HandleCommand(MyAddon, "mychat", "MyOptions", input)
  end
end
