LibCanUse

LibCanUse is a tooltip scanning library originally developed for EminentDKP that will scan the tooltip of an item to try and determine if a given class can use it.

Usage

Load the library:

local canuse = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibCanUse-1.0")

Enable/disable primary stat checking:

canuse:UseStatCheck(true)

Check if a class can use an item:

local classname = select(2,UnitClass("player"))
local itemlink = select(2,GetItemInfo(65003))
if canuse:CanUseItem(classname,itemlink) then
  -- can use
else
  -- cant use
end

Localizations

Since this is a tooltip scanning library it is obviously dependent on the locale of the client, currently only enUS and ruRU are supported.
