WoW API type: EnchantLink
enchantLink API Type (String)
enchantLinks are returned by several functions, e.g. GetCraftItemLink(), etc.
In essence, they are enchantStrings with additional formatting to make in-game text controls display them as clickable hyperlinks. The same as itemStrings are with itemLinks.
|cffffffff|Henchant:20024|h[Enchant Boots - Spirit]|h|r
Broken up in its components:
- "|cffffffff" – 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
ff
is fully opaque. - The next three sets of two characters represent the red, green, and blue levels, just like HTML.
- The first two characters after pipe-c may be the alpha level, where
- "|H" – "Hyperlink link data starts here"
- "enchant:20024" – Read more at enchantString.
- "|h" – "End of link, text follows"
- "[Enchant Boots - Spirit]" – The actual text displayed
- "|h" – "End of hyperlink"
- "|r" – 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%[.+%]")
