Details

quirk: If an ID is passed instead of a GUID, then followerID will be that ID instead, and garrFollowerID will be nil.

local a = C_Garrison.GetFollowers()[1]
print(a.followerID, a.garrFollowerID)           -- "0x0000000004CBDB61", 856

local byGUID = C_Garrison.GetFollowerInfo(a.followerID)
local byID = C_Garrison.GetFollowerInfo(a.garrFollowerID)
print(byGUID.followerID, byGUID.garrFollowerID) -- "0x0000000004CBDB61", 856
print(byID.followerID, byID.garrFollowerID)     -- 856, nil

Example

• Dumps a follower by ID.

local follower = C_Garrison.GetFollowerInfo(856)
DevTools_Dump(follower)

{
	classAtlas = "GarrMission_ClassIcon-Priest-Discipline",
	className = "Discipline Priest",
	classSpec = 124
	displayHeight = 0.5,
	displayIDs = {
		[1] = {
			id = 67797,
			followerPageScale = 1
		}
	},
	displayScale = 1,
	followerID = 856,
	followerTypeID = 4,
	height = 1,
	iLevel = 760,
	isFavorite = false,
	isMaxLevel = false,
	level = 35,
	name = "Calia Menethil",
	portraitIconID = 1401872,
	quality = 1,
	scale = 0.69999998807907,
}

• Dumps the first follower by GUID. Although C_Garrison.GetFollowers() already returns the same data.

local followers = C_Garrison.GetFollowers()
local guid = followers[1].followerID
--local id = followers[1].garrFollowerID
DevTools_Dump(C_Garrison.GetFollowerInfo(guid))

{
	classAtlas = "GarrMission_ClassIcon-Priest-Discipline",
	className = "Discipline Priest",
	classSpec = 124,
	displayHeight = 0.5,
	displayIDs = {
		[1] = {
			followerPageScale = 1,
			showWeapon = true,
			id = 67797
		}
	},
	displayScale = 1,
	followerID = "0x0000000004CBDB61",
	followerTypeID = 4,
	garrFollowerID = 856
	height = 1,
	iLevel = 900,
	isAutoTroop = false,
	isCollected = true,
	isFavorite = false,
	isMaxLevel = true,
	isSoulbind = false,
	isTroop = false,
	level = 45,
	levelXP = 200000,
	name = "Calia Menethil",
	portraitIconID = 1401872,
	quality = 4,
	scale = 0.69999998807907,
	slotSoundKitID = 62813,
	xp = 60600,
}
