BazBrokerWidget

A LibDataBroker display for BazWidgetDrawers — every LDB feed becomes a dockable widget.

> Warning: Requires BazCore and BazWidgetDrawers. If you use the CurseForge app they install automatically. Manual users must install both.

BazBrokerWidget

WoW License Version

Bridges LibDataBroker-1.1 feeds into BazWidgetDrawers. Every LDB-publishing addon (Bagnon, Recount, Skada, BugSack, almost anything with a minimap data button) shows up as its own dockable widget you can position, reorder, or disable like any other BWD widget.


Features

  • One widget per feed — BWD's existing enable/disable, reorder, and float controls work per-feed for free
  • Live updates — subscribes to LDB attribute changes so text/value/icon updates without a /reload
  • Late-registration aware — feeds that register after login (lazy init, first event) appear automatically
  • Click + tooltip forwarding — feed clicks invoke the addon's normal launcher action; hover shows the feed's native tooltip
  • Both LDB types — supports data source feeds (text + value) and launcher feeds (icon-only quick action)

How It Works

When BazBrokerWidget loads, it asks LDB for every registered data object and registers one BWD dockable widget per feed. Each widget renders a compact:

[icon]  Label                    Value

Click → forwards to the feed's OnClick. Hover → forwards to OnTooltipShow / OnEnter. Live changes to text, value, icon, and label re-render the widget automatically.

Late-registering feeds (the common case for "addon registers LDB on first use") are picked up via the LibDataBroker_DataObjectCreated callback, so you don't need to reload to see them.
