LibTSMClass

The LibTSMClass library allows for writing objected-oriented code in lua! There are many OOP / class libraries out there for lua, but none of them had all the features which we needed for TradeSkillMaster, were easily imported into WoW, and were sufficiently performant.

Example

A basic example of the library is below:

local LibTSMClass = LibStub("LibTSMClass")
local MyClass = LibTSMClass.DefineClass("MyClass")

function MyClass.__init(self, value)
   self._value = value
end

function MyClass.GetValue(self)
   return self._value
end

function MyClass.SetValue(self, value)
   self._value = value
end

local MySubClass = LibTSMClass.DefineClass("MySubClass", MyClass)

function MySubClass.AddValue(self, value)
   self:SetValue(self:GetValue() + value)
end

local obj = MySubClass(4)
print(obj:GetValue()) -- 4
obj:SetValue(10)
print(obj:GetValue()) -- 10
obj:AddValue(5)
print(obj:GetValue()) -- 15
