FrameXML Functions API

This skill documents the FrameXML layer of the WoW API — global Lua functions defined by Blizzard's interface code, shared XML utility modules, mixin system, object pools, and game utility modules. These are distinct from the C-based Widget API.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

Toggle standard UI panels (ToggleCharacter, ShowUIPanel, ToggleSpellBook)

Use standard UI dialogs (StaticPopup_Show) or context menus (EasyMenu)

Use the Mixin / Object Pool system (CreateFromMixins, CreateFramePool)

Filter or extend chat messages (ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter)

Format numbers, money, or time (SecondsToTime, FormatLargeNumber, GetMoneyString)

Use table utilities (tContains, tDeleteItem, tInvert, CopyTable)

Use math utilities (Lerp, Clamp, Round, CalculateDistance)

Create texture/atlas markup for FontStrings (CreateAtlasMarkup, CreateTextureMarkup)

Build tooltips with helpers (GameTooltip_AddNormalLine, GameTooltip_SetTitle)

Handle pixel-perfect UI (PixelUtil.SetSize, PixelUtil.SetPoint)

Use event convenience functions (EventUtil.ContinueOnAddOnLoaded)

Manage bags (OpenAllBags, ToggleBag, IsBagOpen)

Preview items/mounts in dressing room (DressUpItemLink)

Query player/class/spec info (PlayerUtil.GetCurrentSpecID, GetClassColor)

Work with quest icons, map utils, communities, transmog, or other game utilities
