Need a table SpellName = SpellID

[Basil2]

I need my addon to work with any language client. So I can't write GetSpellCooldown("Riptide") but
GetSpellCooldown(61295). However this is not informative at all.

The best IMHO solution is:

RiptideId = 61295
GetSpellCooldown(RiptideId)

So I am looking for a list like 'RiptideId = 61295' with all spells with their IDs. I guess somebody already did the job by exploring wowhead and preparing such table.

Could you please tell where is such table?

With GetSpellInfo you get the localized name.

Could you do some asinine method of making a:

local spelltable = {}
local checker
for i = 1, 200000 do
     checker = (GetSpellInfo(i))
     if checker then
          spelltable.i = checker
     end
end

and then having ## SavedVariables: spelltable in the wtf?

Load in, exit game, and copy and paste the spelltable read out from the wtf file into excel for readability?

There are some 200,000 spells in the game. I seriously doubt you need all of them.

There is no "One Best Solution" for all purposes -- what exactly does your addon do, and what does it need a list of spell IDs for?

Ouch. Yes I don't need them all

Addon plays arena as resto shaman. So I need to implement very complicated logic with spells collaboration - source with names looks MUCH better with numbers. Having 15 year C++ background I prefer constants to comments

Even though Lua doesn't have constants, there's nothing stopping you from using a normal local variable like a constant:

local RIPTIDE_ID = 61295
 
-- ...
 
if GetSpellCooldown(RIPTIDE_ID) == 0 then
    DoStuff()
end

And if you're working with a large number of spells and want to avoid creating 50 variables, you could just use a table:

local id = {
    EARTH_SHIELD = 974,
    PURIFY_SPIRIT = 77130,
    RIPTIDE = 61295,
}

if GetSpellCooldown(id.RIPTIDE) == 0 then
    -- do stuff
end

You should probably clarify that comment. If you're writing a bot, that's against the TOS and the rules of this site, and you will not get any further help here.

Addons cannot cast so it can't be a bot My addon will advise the best spell in the situation by showing it's name and icon. It's like "SpellFlash" addon but for arena.

If your addon needs such table, you are doing something wrong. Spell ID should be enough for ALL cases. Also, what you gonna do with spells that have same name but different id?
