CustomNames

Adds Management of Custom Names

Usage

local Lib = LibStub("CustomNames")

-- Setting Names both accept units aswell as Names in the format of Name-Realm (for players) or just Name (for npcs) and Btag in format "BattleTag#12345"
local success = Lib.Set(name, customName) -- for adding/editing 
local success = Lib.Set(name) -- for deleting 
-- Getting Names
local customName = Lib.Get(name) -- this works both for Get(Charname) and Get(Btag)
local customName = Lib.UnitName(unit) -- behaves equivalent to normal UnitName()
local customName = Lib.UnitFullName(unit) -- behaves equivalent to normal UnitFullName()
local customName = Lib.UnitNameUnmodified(unit) -- behaves equivalent to normal UnitNameUnmodified()
local customName = Lib.GetUnitName(unit,showServerName) -- behaves equivalent to normal GetUnitName()
local NameList = Lib.GetList() -- returns a list with all Database entrys
local NameList = Lib.GetLinkedCharacters(name) --- returns all characters linked to a given character or btag

-- NameList Format
NameList = {
	["Name-Realm1"] = "CustomName1",
	["Name-Realm2"] = "CustomName2",
}

-- Bnet api
local isInDatabase = Lib.isCharInBnetDatabase(name) -- returns true if the charname is already linked to a bnet account (false otherwise)
local isInDatabase = Lib.isCharInDatabase(name) --returns true if custom name exists for char either through btag or direct otherwise false
local isInDatabase = Lib.isInDatabase(name) --returns true if exists, otherwise returns false. Expects Name-Realm for Players and Name for NPCs. Also allows for the Lookup of battletags in format "Name#1234"

local success = Lib.addCharToBtag(charname,btag) -- links a char to a Given Btag. Btag should be in format "BattleTag#12345"
