Details

• WOW_PROJECT_ID will always equal one of the other constants; so addons can trigger different code through conditional statements.

Examples

if WOW_PROJECT_ID == WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC then
    -- classic era
elseif WOW_PROJECT_ID == WOW_PROJECT_BURNING_CRUSADE_CLASSIC
    -- bcc
else
    -- retail
end

MyAddon.IsClassic = (_G.WOW_PROJECT_ID == _G.WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC)
if MyAddon.IsClassic then
    -- doSomething()
end
