Module:BuildingData

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:BuildingData/doc

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Lua storage table for looking up wiki pages, names, and resources 
-- based on in-game names. All data is in English.
--
-- The table contains some deconfliction, but only for spaces, apostrophes, and
-- some singular/plural.
-- Use in-game names for things, and help keep this table updated as the game
-- is updated.
--
-- Using the table requires a locally defined lookup function that performs 
-- a string.lower on the argument so that the lookup table can accept any case 
-- and still function properly. Otherwise, we would need the table to define
-- both Berries = "Berries" and berries = "Berries" which would multiply our
-- work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


-- for returning when REQUIRE'd by other Lua modules.
local BuildingData = {}



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Main data table, with string keys and string values.
-- Some of these are defined inline with string.lower to make the key easier
-- to spell and read correctly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- a design decision of this table is to make the key the same as the page name.
-- (the lookup methods will automatically make it lowercase.)
-- that way, whenever .page is referenced, it can be used again to retrieve 
-- the rest of the data.
