LibAddonMenu-2.0  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.0 r36
by: sirinsidiator, Seerah
LibAddonMenu is a library which offers many functions for add-on authors to simplify creating a configuration panel in the game's settings menu.

Users:

If the game cannot load some addon because it is missing LibAddonMenu-2.0 as a dependency, simply download and install it like you would any other addon. In case it shows as "out of date" in the game, simply enable the "allow out of date addons" checkbox.
IMPORTANT
In case you get an error that contains text like this:
user:/AddOns/<some other addon>/Libs/LibAddonMenu-2.0

Some other addon you have installed likely contains an old version of LibAddonMenu which is loaded before the most current one.

Make sure to search for LibAddonMenu-2.0 folders in your AddOns folder and delete all of them. Afterwards install the latest version of LibAddonMenu-2.0 separately.

Check Kyzderp's guide for more detailed instructions
Developers:

Ever since I (sirinsidiator) have taken over development of LAM-2.0 in 2015, the project is available on github and open for contributions by other authors.

With the ongoing effort to get rid of LibStub in favour of the library management capabilities provided by the game itself since Summerset was released, it is no longer recommended to embed LAM, or use LibStub to access it. Instead it should simply be specified as a dependency and accessed via the new LibAddonMenu2 global variable. Instead of providing it as part of another add-on, users should install and update it separately.

Quickstart:
Simply add LAM2 as a dependency in your addon manifest:
Code:
## DependsOn: LibAddonMenu-2.0
Optionally you can require a specific minimum version of LAM in case you rely on some features that are not available in earlier versions.
Code:
## DependsOn: LibAddonMenu-2.0>=30
In your code you can simply access the library via the global variable "LibAddonMenu2" and start creating your settings panel and controls:

Lua Code:
  1. local LAM = LibAddonMenu2
  2. local saveData = {} -- TODO this should be a reference to your actual saved variables table
  3. local panelName = "MyAddOnSettingsPanel" -- TODO the name will be used to create a global variable, pick something unique or you may overwrite an existing variable!
  4.  
  5. local panelData = {
  6.     type = "panel",
  7.     name = "MyAddOn Settings",
  8.     author = "me",
  9. }
  10. local panel = LAM:RegisterAddonPanel(panelName, panelData)
  11. local optionsData = {
  12.     {
  13.         type = "checkbox",
  14.         name = "My First Checkbox",
  15.         getFunc = function() return saveData.myValue end,
  16.         setFunc = function(value) saveData.myValue = value end
  17.     }
  18. }
  19. LAM:RegisterOptionControls(panelName, optionsData)

For more examples and information you can take a look at exampleoptions.lua, AwesomeGuildStore/Settings.lua, the LAM wiki or the source code. Each control has a full list of available properties in the comment at the start of the lua file.

Features:
  • Controls - LAM offers different control types to build elaborate settings menus
  • Reset to Default - LAM can restore the settings to their default state with one key press
  • Additional AddOn Info - Add a version label and URLs for website, donations, translations or feedback
  • AddOn Search - Can't find the settings for your AddOn between the other hundred entries? No problem! Simply use the text search to quickly find what you are looking for
  • Slash Commands - Provides a shortcut to open your settings menu from chat
  • Tooltips - In case you need more space to explain what a control does, simply use a tooltip
  • Warnings - If your setting causes some unexpected behaviour, you can simply slap a warning on them
  • Dangerous Buttons - when flagged as such, a button will have red text and ask for confirmation before it runs any action
  • Required UI Reload - For cases where settings have to reload the UI or should be stored to disk right away, LAM offers a user friendly way to ask for a UI reload.
  • Support for all 5 official languages and 6 custom localisation projects

--Adding a checkbox--

Under --Adding a checkbox-- it's the dropdown LUA.
It should be
Code:
LAM:AddCheckbox(panelID, controlName, text, tooltip, getFunc, setFunc, warning, warningText)

Are you sure this is correct?
Lua Code:
  1. LAM:AddDescription(panelID, controlName, text[, titleText])

Because when I do this I have errors:
Lua Code:
  1. LAM:AddDescription(WLSI_Menu, "WLSI_MENU_DESCRIPTION", "text"[, "titleText"])

This works but the title doesn't show:
Lua Code:
  1. LAM:AddDescription(WLSI_Menu, "WLSI_MENU_DESCRIPTION", "text", "titleText")

As well you should. Those square brackets where you have them are not proper Lua syntax. When you see them like that in API docs, it means that argument is optional (as it says it is optional in the description of that function).
This works but the title doesn't show:
Lua Code:
  1. LAM:AddDescription(WLSI_Menu, "WLSI_MENU_DESCRIPTION", "text", "titleText")
This is because I had a bug in the library. Thanks for finding it!

Could you please consider a optional 3rd parameter to CreateControlPanel(), that if provided sets the panel's title different than the sidebar label? Addons with long names may use acronyms in the sidebar, but would still want to use the full name of the addon in the panel.

I believe ZO_OptionsWindowTitle:SetText() is the call to set it separately.

Another suggestion, I don't know if it's possible: Currently the "Defaults" button in the lower left seems to reset a panel's page to gibberish, if there is a way to assign a callback to the click of that button, we could have it reset values to whatever our defaults are for the addon?

I had tried to disable the defaults button, which is why it is greyed out. More than one addon's options can be added to the same panel and it may be too much of a pain to have the defaults button work in that case.

Hi Seerah,

Love the Lib but finding some issues with the editboxes which seem to be limited and never display the content in full that I need them to also no scroll bar so its kind of impossible to do the large list I want in them. Is there any chance of seeing scroll bars ( vertical ) in future updates ? or should I look at making a slider system ?

Also is there any easy way to update your fields on the fly as they get populated via other parts of the addon and the settings field are not updated without a /reloadui.

Yeah, I just discovered that limit in the notebook addon I'm working on now. There is a method on the editbox to increase the character limit.

I used a template to make the edit box. The mailbox doesn't have a scroll bar either. I may look at adding this at a later date, but it's not very high on my to-do list at the moment. If you really want a large list and LAM isn't "doing it for you", then may I suggest creating your own list frame and having a button in your options panel open that window?

Each call to LAM returns the option object that it creates if you realy want to get your hands dirty.

Like this:

HEADER Infos

Its not to fancy, but I was able to get something like what your looking for

The following code will create this...



Lua Code:
  1. LAM:AddHeader(MMOUI_Panel, "MMOUI_About" , "")
  2. local mmoui_description = "      Author: Tiomun \n      Version: " .. mmoui_version .. "\n      © 2014 All Rights Reserved"
  3. LAM:AddDescription(MMOUI_Panel, "MMOUI_Details", mmoui_description, "ABOUT MMOUI")


So the above code creates a Header with a empty heading to get the separator line only (there might be a better way to do this I'm a noob).

The second line "local mmoui_description" contains the text to be shown below the description title. and uses \n for eol.
NOTE: white space is critical for indenting. tab's will not work so use spaces.

Finaly "LAM:AddDescription", LAM:AddDescription(panelID, controlName, descriptionText, title) [, title] being optional as Seerah explained

I may be 100% how it was meant to work, but it does the trick this way.

You can use a header element then a descriptions element using \n ( new line ) within the description for the breaking of lines. And do what you need to do.
