## Description
This is a converted version of Blizzards UIDropDownMenu from WoW Retail into a library accessable by LibStub. I update it from time to time to current retail version.

**XML Errors in Retail**\
*Since Blizzards new xml error handling it is a problem to use xml templates in libraries. I've converted the templates into lua functions.*

### Little extra with version r24
Since version r24 this library has a little extra i've missed in original. I like to use easymenu but the original has no option to add a separator by menuList table.
```lua
local menuList = {
	{ text="Some text", isTitle = true },
	{ separator = true }, -- new in r24
	{ text="More text", func=function() end}
}
```

@Blizzard feel free to add it to the original 🤓

## The XML templates are converted into lua functions
```
UIDropDownMenuButtonTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenuButton(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
UIDropDownListTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenuList(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
UIDropDownMenuTemplate into <lib>.Create_DropDownMenu(<name>[,<parent>[,<optsTable>]]>
```
Currently the optsTable can contain only one usable entry. { id=<number> }

## Example
```lua
local lib = LibStub("LibDropDownMenu");
local menuFrame = lib.Create_DropDownMenu("MyAddOn_DropDownMenu",UIParent); -- instead of template UIDropDownMenuTemplate
local menuList = {
	{ text="TestTitle", isTitle=true },
	{ text="TestFunction", isNotRadio=true, notCheckable=false }
};
lib.EasyMenu(menuList,menuFrame,"cursor",0,0,"MENU");
```

## In .pkgmeta file
```yaml
externals:
  libs/LibDropDownMenu:
    url: https://github.com/HizurosWoWAddOns/LibDropDownMenu
    tag: latest
```
