## Description

This is a converted version of Blizzards UIDropDownMenu from WoW Retail into a library accessable by LibStub. I update it from time to time to current retail version.

**XML Errors in Retail**\

*Since Blizzards new xml error handling it is a problem to use xml templates in libraries. I've converted the templates into lua functions.*

### Little extra with version r24

Since version r24 this library has a little extra i've missed in original. I like to use easymenu but the original has no option to add a separator by menuList table.

```lua

local menuList = {

	{ text="Some text", isTitle = true },

	{ separator = true }, -- new in r24

	{ text="More text", func=function() end}

}

```

@Blizzard feel free to add it to the original 🤓

## The XML templates are converted into lua functions

```

UIDropDownMenuButtonTemplate into .Create_DropDownMenuButton([,[,]]>

UIDropDownListTemplate into .Create_DropDownMenuList([,[,]]>

UIDropDownMenuTemplate into .Create_DropDownMenu([,[,]]>

```

Currently the optsTable can contain only one usable entry. { id= }

## Example

```lua

local lib = LibStub("LibDropDownMenu");

local menuFrame = lib.Create_DropDownMenu("MyAddOn_DropDownMenu",UIParent); -- instead of template UIDropDownMenuTemplate

local menuList = {

	{ text="TestTitle", isTitle=true },

	{ text="TestFunction", isNotRadio=true, notCheckable=false }

};

lib.EasyMenu(menuList,menuFrame,"cursor",0,0,"MENU");

```

## In .pkgmeta file

```yaml

externals:

  libs/LibDropDownMenu:

    url: https://github.com/HizurosWoWAddOns/LibDropDownMenu

    tag: latest

```
