API GetSpellName

Retrieves the spell name and spell rank for a spell in the player's spellbook. If you're trying to read the spell book at login, register for the PLAYER_LOGIN event.

spellName, spellRank = GetSpellName( spellId, bookType );


 * Arguments


 * spellId : Integer - Spell ID. Valid values are 1 through total number of spells in the spellbook on all pages and all tabs, ignoring empty slots.


 * bookType : String - Either BOOKTYPE_SPELL ("spell") or BOOKTYPE_PET ("pet").


 * Returns


 * spellName : String - Name of the spell as it appears in the spellbook, eg. "Lesser Heal"


 * spellRank : String - The spell rank or type, eg. "Rank 3", "Racial Passive". This can be an empty string. Note: for the Enchanting trade skill at rank Apprentice, the returned string contains a trailing space, ie. "Apprentice ". This might be the case for other trade skills and ranks also.


 * Example

local i = 1 while true do   local spellName, spellRank = GetSpellName(i, BOOKTYPE_SPELL) if not spellName then do break end end -- use spellName and spellRank here DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( spellName .. '(' .. spellRank .. ')' )   i = i + 1 end


 * Result : Displays every spell in the player's spellbook, on all pages and all tabs, in the format required by CastSpellByName.
