Returns a link of the object located in the specified slot of a specified bag.

Arguments

bagID

number - Bag index (bagID). Valid indices are integers -2 through 11. 0 is the backpack.

slotIndex

number - Slot index within the specified bag, ascending from 1. Slot 1 is typically the leftmost topmost slot.

Returns

itemLink

string - a chat link for the object in the specified bag slot; nil if there is no such object. This is typically, but not always an ItemLink.

Example

The following macro prints the ItemLink of the item located in bag 0, slot 1.

/run link=GetContainerItemLink(0,1); printable=gsub(link, "\124", "\124\124"); print("Here's the item link for the first slot of your backpack: \"" .. printable .. "\"")

Details

• Since Patch 5.0.4, certain companion pets may be put in a cage and traded. The cage is not an item, but nevertheless occupies bag slots. For such caged companions, the returned link describes a battle pet ("|Hbattlet:...") rather than an item ("|Hitem:...").
