A basic library for registering slash commands in the WAR interface.

If you're downloading this because an addon you want to use requires it, just extract it into the interface\addons directory, and that's all you need to do.

With LibSlash installed, you'll also be able to use /addon or /uimod to open the Addons window in-game.

If you're writing an addon and want to utilize LibSlash, place it in the proper addons directory along with your other addons. Then, add it as a dependency in your addon's .mod file, like so:




This will ensure that LibSlash is loaded before your addon, so that its functions will be available for use.

To register a slash command handler, call LibSlash.RegisterSlashCmd() with the slash command you want to register (a string, NOT INCLUDING THE /) and a function to serve as the handler:

LibSlash.RegisterSlashCmd("myslash", function(input) MyAddonHandleSlash(input) end)
The single argument passed to the handler is a string containing the rest of the chat line entered after the initial slash command, so the above code would call MyAddonHandleSlash with an argument of "testing" if I typed "/myslash testing" at the command line.

Alternatively, LibSlash.RegisterWSlashCommand() can be used to register a handler to receive a wstring version of the chat line, instead of having it automatically translated to a string.

To unregister a slash command, use LibSlash.UnregisterSlashCmd("myslash") - the only argument it takes is a string specifying the slash command to unregister. You can also use LibSlash.IsSlashCmdRegistered("myslash") to see if a slash command is already registered, possibly by another addon.

Both the register and unregister functions will return true on success, or false on failure for any reason such as attempting to register a slash command which is already registered, or other silly things.

CHANGED: Slash commands are now stored internally as wstrings, allowing for Russian-language slash commands to function properly (regex has been updated to validate Russian alphabet characters). Backwards compatibility is maintained; existing addons will work fine even if they pass normal strings when registering the slash command.
FIXED: LibSlash will properly hide both elements of the Custom UI selection in the UI Advanced window, to prevent accidental enabling of this option by uninformed users.

LibSlash will now hide the "Use custom interface" checkbox whenever it's loaded, to prevent people from accidentally checking it without knowing what it does. Why exactly is this checkbox present in a place where it can't be disabled via the same method it was enabled?
Anywho, if you REALLY, TRULY know what you're doing, and for some godforsaken reason actually want to check this box, use /showcustomui to make the checkbox and entry field show up again. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.

Added global function slash() to allow invocation of slash commands from /script (for easier usage of LibSlash slash commands in macros). Simply pass it the text in quotes (or L"" for wstring input) that would normally follow the / - for instance, the slash command '/blah test' would become '/script slash("blah test")' for a macro.

Working commit. Basic addon to register slash commands.
- LibSlash.RegisterSlashCmd(string, function)
- LibSlash.UnregisterSlashCmd(string)
- LibSlash.IsSlashCmdRegistered(string)

The handler function is passed a string with everything after the command itself.
