SecureAuraHeaderTemplate

[Resike]

I was experimenting to update secure aura headers without the "UNIT_AURA" event and without updating every auras every time unnecessary.

I came up with this:

buff:SetScript("OnAttributeChanged", function(self, name, value)
    if name == "index" then
        --print(self:GetName(), name, value)
        if value then
            local name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, canStealOrPurge, shouldConsolidate, spellId, canApplyAura, isBossDebuff, isCastByPlayer = UnitAura(self.unit, value, buff.filter)
            if self.index ~= value or self.spellId ~= spellId or self.count ~= count or self.expirationTime ~= expirationTime then
                if self.index ~= value then
                    print("INDEX", name, self.index, value)
                elseif self.spellId ~= spellId then
                    print("ID", value, name, self.spellId, spellId)
                elseif self.count ~= count then
                    print("COUNT", value, name, self.count, count)
                elseif self.expirationTime ~= expirationTime then
                    print("EXP", value, name, self.expirationTime, expirationTime)
                end
 
                if type(module.UpdateBuff) == "function" then
                    module:UpdateBuff(self, value)
                end
            end
        else
            self.index = nil
            self.spellId = nil
            self.count = nil
            self.expirationTime = nil
        end
    end
end)

With this method only the changed buffs are gonna get updated and it will leave out the ones which did not changed, so you can save a lot of unnecessary calls. You only need to do a full force update when you: on a loading screen, or when the unit attribute changes.

So what do you guys think could this be a valid solution?
