Module:AltarEffectsData

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

--- Serves data on Stormforged Cornerstones for the Forsaken Altar. Does not replace the use of PerksData for the icons, display names, descriptions, and more for these Cornerstones. Provides Forsaken Altar prices and defines the relationship to the regular version of the Cornerstone that the game uses to determine whether the Stormforged Cornerstone will be an upgrade (and therefore priced differently.)

--- Simplifies looking up tables. Transforms a table containing tables, as we typically get from JSON. The parameter is expected to contain tables, each of which has a key that is the unique identifier of that table. Refer to the method body for the constant used. This identifier will be promoted to be the key for its record, rather than an index.
---
---@param tableOfTables table the data containing records, each with a field that is a unique identifier that should be promoted to be the key for each record
---@return table of tables, with new unique identifier keys

--- Retrieves exactly one effect table from the data.
---
--- Throws an error if the parameter is missing, nil, or empty.
---
--- Retrieving data should be done via the public getter methods, not by getting the entire table.
