Conditions.specialization.specName

Call as

Conditions.specialization.specName(id)

Record the dependency Conditions.specialization.specName, then call it by that name. A namespaced call does not pass self: use a colon call or pass the object yourself.

What it does

Names a specialization for SPECIALIZATION descriptions: the platform's display name and icon, else the built-in localized name, else "specialization N". Returns nil when id is not a valid specialization ID.

Arguments

Name	Type	What it does
`id`	`any`	Saved specialization ID.

Returns

1	`string \| nil`	Specialization name, or nil for an invalid ID.
2	`number \| string \| nil`	Icon, only when the platform supplied display data.

Editions

Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.

It reads no game API directly.

How the addon calls it

Specialization (print)

Functions.presentation.nullable((specName(value.spec)), L["<specialization>"]))

Conditions.specialization.classChoices

if SPECS[id][1]==class then choices[id]=specName(id);order[#order+1]=id end

Dependencies

SPECS (builtin:Conditions/specialization.lua:SPECS)
specID → Conditions.specialization.specID
