Editing WoW:API TYPE enchantLink

{{wowapitype}}

An 'enchantLink' link string type for enchants and recipes.

== Details ==
Enchant links are returned by several functions, like {{api|GetCraftItemLink}}() and others.

In essence, they are {{api|enchantString|t=t}}s with additional formatting to make in-game text controls display them as clickable hyperlinks. The same as {{api|itemString|t=t}}s are with {{api|itemLink|t=t}}s.

 |cffffffff|Henchant:20024|h[Enchant Boots - Spirit]|h|r

Broken up in its components:

* <tt>"'''|cffffffff'''"</tt> &ndash; Colorizes the link with a white color (Enchant Boots - Spirit is a trainer recipe)
** The first two characters after pipe-c may be the alpha level, where <code>ff</code> is fully opaque.
** The next three sets of two characters represent the red, green, and blue levels, just like HTML.
* <tt>"'''|H'''"</tt> &ndash; "Hyperlink link data starts here"
* <tt>"'''enchant:20024'''"</tt> &ndash; Read more at {{api|enchantString|t=t}}.
* <tt>"'''|h'''"</tt> &ndash; "End of link, text follows"
* <tt>"'''[Enchant Boots - Spirit]'''"</tt> &ndash; The actual text displayed
* <tt>"'''|h'''"</tt> &ndash; "End of hyperlink"
* <tt>"'''|r'''"</tt> &ndash; Restores color to normal


You can extract the enchantString from a given enchantLink with the following LUA-code:

 local found, _, enchantString = string.find(enchantLink, "^|%x+|H(.+)|h%[.+%]")


EnchantLinks are also used in profession/craft links; for example:

 |cffffffff|Henchant:44157|h[Engineering: Turbo-Charged Flying Machine]|h|r

where 44157 is the spellId used to create the product of crafting.
