API:GetDatabaseItemData

UI Lua API · Item functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns the data of an item by item id, from the client's item database.

item = GetDatabaseItemData(itemId)

Arguments

itemId

number – Item id.

Returns

item

table – An item data table, or nothing if the client has no entry for that id.

Details

• The item does not have to be in the player's possession. The table describes the client's stored record for the id, not a particular copy of the item.
• Exactly one argument must be passed.

Errors

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when the argument is missing or not a number.

Example

Opening a window for an item link clicked in chat, from default/ea_chatwindow/source/chathyperlinking.lua:

function EA_ChatWindow.CreateItemLinkWindow( itemId )
    ...
    local itemData = GetDatabaseItemData( itemId )
if( not itemData )
then
    -- Show an error message
    return
end
