PeaversIconSearchData

A data library addon for World of Warcraft that maps item names and search tags to icon fileIDs, updated daily from wago.tools db2 exports.

Features

Every player-visible item name mapped to its icon fileID, with slot/armor-type search tags (e.g. "cloth shoulder", "sword 2h")
Refreshed daily against the latest retail build by the iconsearch-module Lambda in PeaversAddonDataSupplier
Clean public API consumed by PeaversIconSearch and available to any addon
No configuration, no saved variables — pure data provider

API

The addon exposes a global PeaversIconSearchData.API:

local API = PeaversIconSearchData.API

-- Take ownership of the icon database: a table of large string chunks, each
-- holding "iconFileID:Item Name<TAB>search tags" lines sorted by name.
-- Returns nil on subsequent calls — the caller owns (and can free) the data.
local chunks = API.TakeItemIconData()
local blob = table.concat(chunks, "\n")

The data ships as raw string chunks rather than 80k+ table entries so consumers can search it as a single string, keeping load time and memory low.

Installation

This is a data library used by other Peavers addons and doesn't require direct user interaction. PeaversUpdater installs and updates it automatically alongside its parent addon, or download it directly from CurseForge.
