LibClassicSpecs

Restores the retail specialization methods in Classic

Where possible this uses the same global spec ids as in retail.

Usage

local LibClassicSpecs = LibStub("LibClassicSpecs")

local MAX_TALENT_TIERS                = _G.MAX_TALENT_TIERS or LibClassicSpecs.MAX_TALENT_TIERS
local NUM_TALENT_COLUMNS              = _G.NUM_TALENT_COLUMNS or LibClassicSpecs.NUM_TALENT_COLUMNS

local GetNumClasses                   = _G.GetNumClasses or LibClassicSpecs.GetNumClasses
local GetClassInfo                    = _G.GetClassInfo or LibClassicSpecs.GetClassInfo
local GetNumSpecializationsForClassID = _G.GetNumSpecializationsForClassID or LibClassicSpecs.GetNumSpecializationsForClassID

local GetActiveSpecGroup              = _G.GetActiveSpecGroup or LibClassicSpecs.GetActiveSpecGroup

local GetSpecialization               = _G.GetSpecialization or LibClassicSpecs.GetSpecialization
local GetSpecializationInfo           = _G.GetSpecializationInfo or LibClassicSpecs.GetSpecializationInfo
local GetSpecializationInfoForClassID = _G.GetSpecializationInfoForClassID or LibClassicSpecs.GetSpecializationInfoForClassID

local GetSpecializationRole           = _G.GetSpecializationRole or LibClassicSpecs.GetSpecializationRole
local GetSpecializationRoleByID       = _G.GetSpecializationRoleByID or LibClassicSpecs.GetSpecializationRoleByID


-- Useful constants/enums
local Role = LibClassicSpecs.Role
local Class = LibClassicSpecs.Class
local Stat = LibClassicSpecs.Stat

Class.Warrior.ID -- 1
Class.Warrior.name -- "WARRIOR"
Class.Warrior.Arms -- 71 (same as in retail)
Stat.Agility  -- 2
Role.Damager  -- "DAMAGER"

GetSpecializationInfoForClassID(Class.Warrior.ID, 1) -- 71 (Warrior.Arms), "Arms"

GetNumClasses

There are 9 classes in classic, but they are NOT the first 9 ids. Druids are class ID 11 even in classic.

Therefore GetNumClasses() returns all retail classes (12), this is essential for the case where your addon tries to iterate classes. It should receive usable class ids:

for classId = 1, GetNumClasses() do
  local specId, specName = GetSpecializationInfoForClassID(classId, 1)

  local displayName, internalName == GetClassInfo(classId)

  if (UnitClass("player") == classId) then
    print("You are playing a", displayName)
    -- You are playing a Warrior
  end

  print("Class", internalName, "has spec", specName, "with id", specId)
  -- Class WARRIOR has spec Arms with id 71
end
