Data

The currency data is set to global so if you would need some further specific need, then you can create your customized codes by accessing the library data.

lib.data.CurrencyByCategory

Array key is categoryID, array value is the currency IDs belong to this category.

For example:

	[1] = { -- Miscellaneous
		81, -- Epicurean's Award
		402, -- Ironpaw Token
		515, -- Darkmoon Prize Ticket
		1379, -- Trial of Style Token
	},

lib.data.CurrencyCategories

Stores the currency category's display names, in all languages. For example:

[1] = { <br />&nbsp; enUS="Miscellaneous",<br />&nbsp; deDE="Verschiedenes",<br />&nbsp; esES="Miscel&aacute;nea",<br />&nbsp; esMX="Miscel&aacute;nea",<br />&nbsp; frFR="Divers",<br />&nbsp; itIT="Varie",<br />&nbsp; koKR="기타",<br />&nbsp; ptBR="Diversos",<br />&nbsp; ruRU="Разное",<br />&nbsp; zhCN="其它",<br />&nbsp; zhTW="雜項" <br />},

lib.data.Currencies

Stores all the currencies' ID, categoryID, and a flag of hide set to true if this specific currency is inactive or not to be displayed in player's game client.

Some examples:

[1] = { id=1, category=1, hide=true }, -- Currency Token Test Token 4, Miscellaneous

[81] = { id=81, category=1 }, -- Epicurean's Award, Miscellaneous

lib.data.CurrencyDesc

This is where we stored the currencies' description. This is useful when we want to retrieve this information unless WoW release any API to fulfill this need.
