RitnProtoItem

Data-stage manipulator for data.raw[<item-type>][<name>]. The constructor auto-detects the item type (via getItemType()) and deep-copies the prototype. No methods of its own: use the generic mutators from RitnPrototype.

Warning — Factorio 1.x API: this class hasn't been revised since Factorio 2.0. Usable at data stage, but not validated for 2.0 — see Factorio 2.0 migration.

Constructor

RitnProtoItem(item_name) → RitnProtoItem

Resolves the type via :getItemType() (iterates lualib.vanilla.types_item) then deep-copies data.raw[type][item_name] into prototype. No-op if the type or item isn't found.

Parameters - item_name :: string — item name.

Methods

No specific methods. Use the inherited mutators from RitnPrototype: :changePrototype, :setPrototype, :changeSubPrototype, :changeSubgroup, :getProperties, :update.

Usage example

local RitnProtoItem = require(ritnlib.defines.class.prototype.item)
RitnProtoItem("wooden-chest"):changeSubgroup("belt")
RitnProtoItem("iron-plate"):changePrototype("stack_size", 200)
