LibTSMClass

The LibTSMClass library allows for writing object-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

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

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

function MyClass:GetValue()
   return self._value
end

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

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

function MySubClass:AddValue(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
