Dirty Boot Core

Dirty Boot Core is the shared foundation addon for the Dirty Boot addon family.

It does not create gameplay UI by itself. It provides a small shared toolkit used by other Dirty Boot addons, including shared theme values, print helpers, number/string/bool normalization, clamping, and SavedVariables default-copy helpers.

Requirements

World of Warcraft Retail.

Dirty Boot Core should be installed as its own addon folder:

Interface/AddOns/DirtyBootCore

Other Dirty Boot addons may list DirtyBootCore as a required dependency.

Provided API

Dirty Boot Core exposes the global table:

DirtyBootCore

Current helper areas:

Toolkit metadata from Core.lua.
Shared color/theme values from Theme.lua.
Utility helpers from Utils.lua.
