Direct include
You can also directly include the library in your HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"/> <!-- ... --> </head> <body> <!-- include the script at the bottom of the html body --> <script type="module"> // import the script import * as templates from 'https://build-wars.github.io/gw-templates/js/gw-templates-es6.js'; // alternative via unpkg // import * as templates from 'https://unpkg.com/@buildwars/gw-templates@1.1.0/dist/gw-templates-es6.js'; // do stuff </script> </body> </html>

Usage
Decode Skill Templates
PHP
$skills = (new SkillTemplate)->decode('OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA'); // static convenience methods: $skills = SkillTemplate::fromTemplate('OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA'); $skills = SkillTemplate::fromChatCode('[My Cool Build;OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA]');
JavaScript ☕
let skills = new SkillTemplate().decode('OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA'); // static convenience methods: skills = SkillTemplate.fromTemplate('OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA'); skills = SkillTemplate.fromChatCode('[My Cool Build;OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA]');
Return
A call to the decode() method returns an array (PHP) or object (JS) similar to the following:
Array
(
[code] => OwFj0xfzITOMMMHMie4O0kxZ6PA
[prof_pri] => 7
[prof_sec] => 1
[attributes] => Array
(
[29] => 12
[31] => 3
[35] => 12
)
[skills] => Array
(
[0] => 782
[1] => 780
[2] => 775
[3] => 1954
[4] => 952
[5] => 2356
[6] => 1649
[7] => 1018
)
)
Encode Skill Templates
PHP
$code = (new SkillTemplate)->encode( prof_pri: 7, prof_sec: 1, attributes: [29 => 12, 31 => 3, 35 => 12], skills: [782, 780, 775, 1954, 952, 2356, 1649, 1018], ); // -> base64 skill template
JavaScript ☕
let code = new SkillTemplate().encode( 7, 1, {'29': 12, '31': 3, '35': 12}, [782, 780, 775, 1954, 952, 2356, 1649, 1018], ); // -> base64 skill template
Please note that the base64 template codes might not necessarily match between decode/encode.
Decode Equipment Templates
PHP
$equipment = (new EquipmentTemplate)->decode('PkpxFP9FzSqIlpI90MlpIDLfopInVBgpILlLlpIFF'); // static convenience methods: $equipment = EquipmentTemplate::fromTemplate('PkpxFP9FzSqIlpI90MlpIDLfopInVBgpILlLlpIFF'); $equipment = EquipmentTemplate::fromChatCode('[My Cool Equipment;PkpxFP9FzSqIlpI90MlpIDLfopInVBgpILlLlpIFF]');
JavaScript ☕
let equipment = new EquipmentTemplate().decode('PkpxFP9FzSqIlpI90MlpIDLfopInVBgpILlLlpIFF'); // static convenience methods: equipment = EquipmentTemplate.fromTemplate('PkpxFP9FzSqIlpI90MlpIDLfopInVBgpILlLlpIFF'); equipment = EquipmentTemplate.fromChatCode('[My Cool Equipment;PkpxFP9FzSqIlpI90MlpIDLfopInVBgpILlLlpIFF]');
Return
A call to the decode() method returns an array (PHP) or object (JS) similar to the following:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 279
[slot] => 0
[color] => 9
[mods] => Array
(
[0] => 190
[1] => 204
[2] => 329
)
)
...more items...
)
Note: the keys of the returned array are the slot IDs (0-6) - they may not be sequential or ordered
Encode Equipment Templates
PHP
$equipmentTemplate = new EquipmentTemplate; // add items (will overwrite previous items with same slot id) $equipmentTemplate->addItem( id: 279, color: 0, mods: [190, 204, 329], ); // ... add more items $code = $equipmentTemplate->encode(); // -> base64 equipment template
JavaScript ☕
let equipmentTemplate = new EquipmentTemplate(); // add iems (will overwrite previous items with same slot id) equipmentTemplate.addItem(279, 0, [190, 204, 329]); // ... add more items let code = equipmentTemplate.encode(); // -> base64 equipment template
