Verbose guide to Lua 5.1 functions available in WoW, including Blizzard-specific differences and WoW-only additions. Use for core Lua behavior in the WoW addon environment.
WoW Lua API (Lua 5.1)
Scope
Retail only.
Covers the Lua functions list and WoW-specific notes from warcraft.wiki.gg.
Does not cover OS or file IO libraries (they are not available in the WoW client).
When to use this skill
You need behavior or signatures for base Lua 5.1 functions used in addons.
You want Blizzard-specific differences (for example degrees vs radians).
You need WoW-only helpers like strsplit, table.wipe, or fastrandom.
How to use this skill
Start with references/OVERVIEW.md for environment notes and scope.
Use the library reference that matches the function you need.
Read the detail files for method-call syntax and table method caveats.
