Socialite

This addon tracks the number of times you've grouped up with people.

This file tracks some early planning for cobbling together this addon.

API Knowledge Base

Key Events

• GROUP_JOINED - The player joined a group (On switch)
• GROUP_LEFT - The player left a group (Off switch)
• GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE - This thing seems to fire several times per group join but is also the best event to track so... optimize?
• BOSS_KILL
• CHALLENGE_MODE_COMPLETE
• LFG_COMPLETION_REWARD - Fire when a random dungeon finishes and the player is awarded the completion reward. Could use as a "dungeons completed" with each player, event. Not sure if it'd run in manual groups though.

Key API Functions

• UnitGUID - Store players by GUID
• GetPlayerInfoByGUID - WARNING: Client must have seen the GUID in that session so this is good for generating data on the fly about a player (even the mouseover) but can't be used, for example, in a summary pane
• UnitIsPlayer - Verify unit being checked isn't an NPC or something
• IsInRaid/IsInGroup
• GetNumGroupMembers
• GetInstanceInfo - Amongst its returns is an InstanceMapID. May be able to cache that ID and dynamically translate it to get around Localization.
• GetCurrentMapAreaId - Gets an ID from the current map area which can be converted back in to a localized name with other functions
• GetMapNameByID - ID to Map Name
• BNGetFriendInfo - Gets BNet ID by friendIndex
• C_Timer.After - setTimeout()

API Types

• UnitId "partyN"/"raidN" - Functions that take a "unit" can use party1, party2, etc to specify which party member. Should make looping through party members a breeze.
• InstanceMapID - Could be used to circumnavigate Localization and store the ID people ran together. Dynamically convert to localized language ad hoc.
• friendIndex

Statistics to Track

• Number of boss kills with this person
• Number of dungeon/LFR/etc completed with this person
• Number of PvP BGs completed with this person
• Last Seen Date (List?)

Friend Aggregation

• Should be able to see runs with a specific toon as well as aggregate multiple runs together using BNet presenceID

Data Shape

Character

• GUID
• BNet presenceID (bnetIdAccount)
• Name
• Realm
• First Seen
• Last Seen
• Stats
  • Boss Kills
  • Runs Completed

Group Session

Example: Notify when a group caps who you've seen before. If someone drops and new people join, don't re-notify about the same people, but notify about the new people.

• Members []
  • GUID

Logic

RegisterTallyEvents

Registers all the events on which SCL should tally an event. Could look something like:

local events = [
    {
        nativeEvent: "BOSS_KILL",
        pool: "BOSSES",
        handler: tallyBoss  -- Function
    },
    {
        nativeEvent: "CHALLENGE_MODE_COMPLETE",
        pool: "DUNGEONS",
        handler: tallyDungeon  -- Callback
    },
    {
        nativeEvent: "LFG_COMPLETION_AWARD",
        pool: "DUNGEONS",
        handler: tallyDungeon  -- Callback
    },
    {
        nativeEvent: "BATTLEGROUND_COMPLETED",
        pool: "BATTLEGROUNDS",
        handler: tallyBattleground  -- Callback
    }
]

Might not need "Pool" if a custom function is made for each type of event. Or the registrar taking in this array can pass pool as an argument to each callback to make it more dynamic.
