Realm

The Realm class is a model that maps realm, or server, information.

Just like any other model, it's used to standardize the way addons interact with realm data.

Its first version, introduced in the library version 1.2.0 includes only the name property, but this model will grow over time as new expansions are released and new features are implemented in the library.

For a more detailed explanation of the Realm model and its available methods and properties, please refer to the library technical documentation.

Getting the current realm instance​

The current realm instance can be retrieved using a "static" method of the Realm class, which also takes care of creating the instance and setting the realm name using the World of Warcraft API.

local realm = library:getClass('Realm').getCurrentRealm()

Note that the example above is not not calling :getCurr... but .getCurr... because this method is associated with the class itself, not with an instance of the class.
