Modul:Classgenerator/class: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Aktuelle Version vom 6. April 2023, 19:19 Uhr

Module documentation

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

This is a Class Module. It implements a class in Lua using Module:Middleclass and the template class Module:Foundationclass. This class provides methods for PURPOSE.

Usage[Quelltext bearbeiten]

local name = args[1] or args.name or mw.title.getCurrentTitle().rootText
local Class = require('Module:Name/class')
local me = Class:new(name)
me:initDataFromArgs(args)
me:storeData()
me:addInfobox()
me:addPageBody()
return me:render()

Methods[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Constructor[Quelltext bearbeiten]

new(uid)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Creates a new Object for the class.

uid: variable, optional; used to identify the object
return: object, of the class

public methods[Quelltext bearbeiten]

addInfobox()[Quelltext bearbeiten]

If no errors and data is present, adds an infobox to the object's output.

return: boolean, whether adding was successful or not

addPageBody()[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Adds a page body (all content besides the infobox) to the object's output: Errors and Warnings, sample configuration, statistics, ... Of course, only if there is data.

return: boolean, whether adding was successful or not

myArgumentProcessing(coreData)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Performs the individual argument processing in initDataFromArgs(args) right before inititializing it.

coreData: table, mandatory; the core data of the object. the one to process individually before initialization
return: table, the new core data array to be used

myPlausibilityTest(args)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Performs the individual plausibility tests in initDataFromArgs(args) before entering the initialization part. NOTE: The return value will be ignored. If this finds errors, it must add them to the list of errors via addError(errortext).

args: table, mandatory; arguments passed to the template to be checked
return: boolean, whether the object is plausible or not.

myStashAdjustments(self, stash)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Performs the adjusts the stash in storeData() right before storing it.

stash: table, mandatory; the array of data to be saved (in the form fieldname: value)
return: boolean, the new stash

static methods[Quelltext bearbeiten]

ClassClassgenerator:mySfDynamicFieldAttribute(fieldname, attribute, value)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

For some semantic form fields there are attribute values, that are not static, thus can not be provided at forehand in the configuration file. This method does the trick to adapt them at runtime shortly before the field is rendered. Essentially: the method checks, if it has a special rule for the pair fieldname:attribute and if so, calculates the new value. if not, the old value is returned.

fieldname: string, mandatory; the form field's name, needed to match current paring to an existing special treatment rule
attribute: string, mandatory; the form field's attribute, needed to match current paring to an existing special treatment rule
value: variable, mandatory; the value, that is already provided in the configuration file. this will be adapted by the method, if there is a special rule for the pair fieldname:attribute.
return: string, the value to be used forthwith (which can be the old one or a freshly calculated)

private methods[Quelltext bearbeiten]

_debug(self, level, text)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Adds output to the internal debug log.

self: object, me
level: int; mandatory; debug level for the message
text: string; mandatory; debug message text
return: void

_namespaceName (self, namespaceId)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Takes the id of a namespace and converts it to the human readable name. Normally returns mw.site.namespaces[id].canonicalName...

self: object, me
namespaceId: int; mandatory; for which namespace id the name should be returned
return: string, name of namespace

_processAttribute(self, attr, indent, name)[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Takes an attribute and builds from that (and self:getCoreData()) one entry in the class's config file.

self: object, me
attr: string; mandatory; for which attribute should the entry be build
indent: string; mandatory; indentation of line
name: string; optional; normally the parameter name will be constructed out of attr. if you have special needs as a name, you can supply them via this parameter. name takes precedence, if provided.
return: string, the entry that can directly be added to the config file/string

Properties[Quelltext bearbeiten]

static[Quelltext bearbeiten]

private[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Note: all private properties are stored in table _private[self]. _private is a static array that is indexed by self, so the table _private[self] holds all properties for instance self.

dbg: object, my instance of Module:Debug/class for debugging purposes. only present afer first call of _debug(self, level, text)

Configuration Data[Quelltext bearbeiten]

This class holds its control data in Module:Classgenerator/config.

Inheritance[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Methods[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Note: You still reference those either by self:publicMethod() or Classgenerator:staticMethod() and Classgenerator.staticProperty respectively! MediaWiki:Classengine-content-documentation-methods

Static Properties[Quelltext bearbeiten]

MediaWiki:Classengine-content-documentation-properties

Dependecies[Quelltext bearbeiten]

Apart from the obvious (being all pages in Category:Class engine), we also need:

Nice to have:

Extension:AutoCreatePage

Please check also Foundationclass's dependencies.

Interface messages[Quelltext bearbeiten]

To generate your project's meta categories, Classgenerator makes use of the following interface messages:
