AHDBapp

The out of game parser, processor, uploader for AHDB wow addon

WIP, works with https://github.com/mooreatv/AuctionDB

Already includes a pretty cool

• lua2json.sh Lua (tables/WoW saved variables) to JSON converter
• lua2json golang package Golang version of the sed+awk script hack

Getting started

ahdb.go now reads lua and writes to a MySql DB directly (needed schema is in schema.sql)

Environment variables to control the access to the DB:

• optional MYSQL_USER (defaults to root)
• MYSQL_PASSWORD
• optional MYSQL_CONNECTION_INFO (defaults to tcp to 3306)

You need:

• golang https://golang.org/dl/ (on windows you may still need to get git (https://git-scm.com/downloads) to use go get or you can download the files from this repo and use go build .)
• then type go get github.com/mooreatv/AHDBapp it will download the source into ~/go/src/github/mooreatv/AHDBapp (and build the binary in ~/go/bin)
• then
  • On windows go\bin\AHDBapp.exe < "c:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_\WTF\Account\YOURACCOUNT\SavedVariables\AuctionDB.lua"
  • On unix/mac ~/go/bin/AHDBapp < ...path_to_.../SavedVariables/AuctionDB.lua

old instructions

You used to need/do

• golang https://golang.org/dl/
• then type go get github.com/mooreatv/AHDBapp it will download the source into ~/go/src/github/mooreatv/AHDBapp (and build the binary in ~/go/bin)
• then
  • On windows go\bin\AHDBapp.exe < "c:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_\WTF\Account\YOURACCOUNT\SavedVariables\AuctionDB.lua" > data.csv
  • On unix/mac ~/go/bin/AHDBapp < ...path_to_.../SavedVariables/AuctionDB.lua > data.csv

even older instructions

You used to need

• bash and some basic unix utilities; easiest way to get those is through git bash that comes with https://git-scm.com/downloads
• golang https://golang.org/dl/
• go get github.com/mooreatv/AHDBapp it will download into ~/go/src/github/mooreatv/AHDBapp
• ./ahdbSavedVars2Json.sh YOURWOWACCOUNT
• go run ahdb.go < auctiondb.json > auctiondb.csv

But now you just need golang as go run ahdb.go can process the saved variables directly as above
