This module retrieves data from the "Loot tables.json" template according to the {{PAGENAME}} (usually, an NPC name) provided as an argument value.
local json = require('Module:Json')
local lootTables = json.decode(mw.getCurrentFrame():expandTemplate{title='Template:Items.json'})
local p = {}
p.getLootTable = function(frame)
for k, v in pairs(lootTables) do
if k == frame.args[1] then
return k, v
else
error('Incorrect NPC name')
end
end
end
return p
