Functions

Public functions

For the example snippets below, ret is an arbitrary infobox initiated as: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local ret = Infobox.new(args) </syntaxhighlight>

Priority

Certain functions rely on information created by other functions, and thus must be run in a particular order:

0	new
1	defineParams
2	create maxVersion
3	cleanParams setMaxButtons noSwitch
4	other functions
5	finish

nilParam

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> Infobox.nilParam() </syntaxhighlight> Returns the value of the placeholder value Infobox.nil_param. This value is generally not seen, but it is used to fill switchbox data as nil causes unwanted behaviour.

isDefined

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> Infobox.isDefined(arg) </syntaxhighlight> Checks whether the value arg can be considered as defined.

new

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> Infobox.new(args) </syntaxhighlight> Creates a new infobox object with args as a table of values passed from the template invocation.

This function also creates the top-level wrapper and sets a metatable for the infobox.

create

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:create() </syntaxhighlight> Creates the HTML tags used for the infobox itself. Will run maxVersion() if it has not been run already.

defineName

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:defineName(arg) </syntaxhighlight> Defines the name of the infobox. This should be the base pagename; i.e. no "Template:" namespace prefix.

defineLinks

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:defineLinks(tbl) </syntaxhighlight> Defines any number of infobox bottom links in a table whose elements are table variables formatted as such:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> { { link, label }, ... } </syntaxhighlight>

link and label should be string variables that will, in a basic sense, define [[Link|label]].

In a more technical sense, link and label help form a string for string.format(), with the module using the equivalent of (but not exactly): <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> string.format('&#91;'..label..'&#93;',...) </syntaxhighlight>

The template name itself can be called up to 5 times by using "%s", in either link or label.

setMaxButtons

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:setMaxButtons(n) </syntaxhighlight> Changes the behaviour of buttons by defining the maximum number of buttons that are allowed to appear. If the version count exceeds the button count, their buttons will be replaced with a drop down menu. If not run, the maximum button count will be 5.

cleanParams

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:cleanParams() </syntaxhighlight> Parses the parameters with their mapped functions.

defineParams

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:defineParams{ ... } </syntaxhighlight> Maps parameters to functions as defined by a table formatted as such:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> { name = <param>, func = <func>, dupes = true }, </syntaxhighlight>

param should be a string that names the parameter as it will be in references for use in other functions.

func should be a function or instructions on how to find a function.

dupes is a meta configuration that allows the parameter to be duplicated in switch data. Normally, these duplicate values are not needed, and they will be deleted if they are the same as the default values after all parameters have been parsed. Some parameters require duplication to function properly, such as display altering parameters defined with linkParams().

If duplicates are not needed, this parameter should be deleted.

Predefined functions

If func is a string, then the module will attempt to use a predefined function.

Function	Use
name	Uses the parameter named "name". If "name" is blank or undefined, it will use the page name.
release	Uses the parameters named "release" and "update" and formats it as such: If both are defined: <release> ([[Update:<update>|Update]]) If only release is defined: <release> (Update unknown) If release is not defined: ? (edit)
removal	Uses the parameters named "removal" and "removalupdate" and formats it the same as release
hasContent	If the parameter is defined and not blank, it will be used. Otherwise, ? (edit) will be used.
image	Currently functions the same as hasContent
numbers	Removes commas from the parameter and attempts to cast it to a number. If it works, the number is used, otherwise ? (edit)

User-defined functions

If func is a function, then that function will be used to parse the parameter. User-defined functions allow for more robust formatting and guidelines.

As a general practice, user-defined functions should be located under the main functions in the module. It is best to document these functions so that they may be changed by other editors if necessary.

In user-defined functions, circumstances where the edit button should be shown should return nil, which is automatically handled by the module.

Simple and complex definitions

Parameters may be mapped to functions in a straightforward manner by simply definining a name of or reference to a function, such as: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:defineParams{ { name = 'foo', func = 'hasContent' }, { name = 'bar', func = barFunc } } </syntaxhighlight>

Simple definitions only pass the parameter from the master list named <name>. Some parameters need more interaction with other parameters. To do this, we require a complex definition. Complex definitions point to a user-defined function and map what parameters to pass. Complex definitions can also pass literal values or the uncleaned value with the use of flags.

Complex functions are defined as table values formatted as such: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> func = { name = <funcname>, params = { <paramname>, ... }, flag = <flags> } </syntaxhighlight>

A basic example for complex functions is: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:defineParams{ { name = 'foo', func = { name = fooFunc, params = { 'bar', 'baz' } }, } -- ... -- ... function fooFunc(arg1,arg2) return arg1..arg2 end </syntaxhighlight>

In this example, we have a parameter named "foo", but we use the parameters passed to the template named "bar" and "baz". Parameters are passed in the order listed, so in the above, the parameter bar is used for arg1, and baz is used for arg2.

Flags define the behaviour of the parameters named. The following flag behaviours exist:

• d - Looks for the cleaned and parsed version of the parameter. If not cleaned, it will use the value passed to the template. If neither exist, it will use nil. This is the default behaviour if no flag is defined.
• p - Looks only at the value passed to the template. If it does not exist, it will use nil.
• r or l - Uses the literal (or raw) value.

If flag is a string, then the behaviour defined by it will apply to every parameter passed. If flag is a table, then each flag will only define the behaviour of the respective parameter.

For example: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:defineParams{ { name = 'foo', func = { name = fooFunc, params = { 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' }, flag = { 'd', 'p', 'l' }, }, } </syntaxhighlight>

In the above snippet, foo will use the default behaviour and bar will only look for the value passed to the template. The third parameter will use the string literal 'baz'.

Definition order

Parameters are defined in the order that they are coded. If a parameter relies on the cleaned value of another parameter, then the parameter dependent on the other will need to be defined after in the definition table.

addRow

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:addRow(tbl) </syntaxhighlight> Adds a new row to the template with columns and behaviour defined by tbl, which should be a table that holds cells defined as table variables, formatted as such:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> { { celltype, label, <attr1> = <value1>, <attr2> = <value2> ... }, ... } </syntaxhighlight>

celltype and label are string values that define the fundamental display of the cell.

celltype	Output
th	Creates a <th> tag where the content is the value of label
td	Creates a <td> tag where the content is the value of label
argh	Creates a <th> tag where the content is the value of the parameter named label
argd	Creates a <td> tag where the content is the value of the parameter named label

The attributes are any of the available attributes defined inside the function. All functions that are ultimately run are documented in the Lua reference manual and are run on the tag for the specific table cell they are called on.

attr	Type	Use
attr	table	Passes the value to mw.html.attr()
css	table	Passes the value to mw.html.css()
colspan	number	Uses the value to run mw.html.attr('colspan',#)
rowspan	number	Uses the value to run mw.html.attr('rowspan',#)
title	string	Uses the value to run mw.html.attr('title',text)
class	string	Passes the value to mw.html.addClass()
class	table	Passes every value in the table to mw.html.addClass()

If the template is a switch infobox, then data-attr-param="<paramname>" will be added to the table cell.

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

wikitext

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:wikitext(txt) </syntaxhighlight> Appends wikitext to the top-level wrapper. Templates, etc. passed directly from Lua code will need explicit preprocessing prior to display properly.

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

caption

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:caption() </syntaxhighlight> Adds a caption to the infobox based off the subject name, using the following priority for the text:

• name parameter
• name1 parameter (if switch infobox)
• {{PAGENAME}}

If the template is a switch infobox, this will also add data-attr-param="name" to the caption.

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

attr

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:attr(arg) </syntaxhighlight> Passes arg to mw.html.attr().

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

float

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:float(dir) </syntaxhighlight> Changes the direction of the CSS style float for the top level wrapper. By default, all infoboxes float right.

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

css

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:css(...) </syntaxhighlight> Passes the arguments to mw.html.css().

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

addClass

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:addClass(arg) </syntaxhighlight> Passes arg to mw.html.addClass().

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

addClasses

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:attr(...) </syntaxhighlight> Passes every argument to mw.html.addClass() individually.

This function will return the template, allowing further self functions to be performed.

tag

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:tag(arg) </syntaxhighlight> Passes arg to mw.html.tag().

This function will return the tag (not the template), allowing further self functions to be performed.

useSMW

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:useSMW(tbl) </syntaxhighlight> Tells the module to create properties for parameters, as well as defining those mappings with tbl, a table whose elements form an associated array formatted as such:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> { parameter = property, ... } </syntaxhighlight>

When defined, properties will be defined for two separate properties: both "Property:<name>" and "Property:All <name>". If the template holds switch infobox data, then properties will be defined for "Property:<name><X>" for all applicable X. The "All <name>" properties exist to create storage for all applicable values. Keep this in mind, as "Property:<name>" will only ever store the default value.

By default, the module will define Property:Release date and Property:Is members only.

noSwitch

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:noSwitch() </syntaxhighlight> Forces the template to use only a single version, the default.

maxVersion

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:maxVersion() </syntaxhighlight> Returns the number of versions used by the infobox. When run the first time, this function will check and define the version count first. Subsequent calls will simply return the count.

linkParams

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:linkParams{ paramName = linkedParam, ... } </syntaxhighlight> Links two parameters where one parameter (paramName) is the parameter name of a cell's contents, and linkedParam is the name of the parameter that contains the classes for the specified cell. It will only have an effect on switch infoboxes. Both parameters will need to be defined in the infobox with definedParams. They should be functions of the parameter they operator on and include dupes = true in their definitions.

This function must be called only after calling ret:cleanParams() (and before ret:finish()).

Example: grand exchange graphs do not make sense to display for untradeable items within switch infoboxes (e.g. ahrim's staff); one could use a linkParam to add a class that will display:none table row when switching to untradeable items.

In the source code of the infobox, these will be added as such:

<syntaxhighlight lang="html5">

paramName[d] paramName[1] paramName[2]

</syntaxhighlight>

From this, the switch infobox javascript will add the contents of data-addclass to class attribute of the row of the table when the infobox is switched. You will also need to define the classes you are using in global CSS.

If the parameter is a th or td element, the class is added to the parent tr. Otherwise, it is added to the element directly (e.g. caption element).

finish

Finalises the template and adds remaining required HTML.

• Creates hidden tag for switch infobox data (if needed)
• Adds Category:Pages that contain switch infobox data if in the mainspace
• Defines Property:Version count if in the mainspace
• Adds Semantic MediaWiki Data in a hidden tag (if needed)

  This data can be viewed on the page itself by using inspect element, but it is not normally visible

• Adds infobox bottom links

param

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:param(arg, flag) </syntaxhighlight> Returns the value of the parameter named arg. The exact format and values are determined by the flag:

• d or empty - default value of the parameter
• f or full - all values of the parameter as a table
• s or switches - table of all switch values (or nil if no switches are present)
• s# - switch value at index #
• r - if defined, switch value 1, otherwise the default value

Note that this function returns the actual table used by the template. If a switch value is equal to Infobox.nil_param for flag s#, then nil will be returned instead; however, when calling specific indices from the tables returned by f or r, the value of Infobox.nil_param will be returned without extra parsing.

paramDefined

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:paramDefined(arg, flag) </syntaxhighlight> Looks to see if the parameter named arg is defined at any index, based on instructions from flag:

• 0 or empty - default value of parameter
• # - value of switch at index #
• all - true if the parameter is defined with a default or at any switch value

paramGrep

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:paramGrep(arg, query) </syntaxhighlight> Performs a function or search on every possible value of the parameter named arg. query can be either a function, a string, or a number. If a match is found or the function query returns true, paramGrep will end its search.

If query is a function, that function must pass a single argument (the parameter), and return either true or false.

If query is a string, then that string will be compared to each value of the parameter. If they match exactly, disregarding casing, then true will be returned. To perform a pattern match on strings, you will need to define query as a function that returns a boolean value based on string.find or mw.ustring.find.

If query is a number (or any other type), then it will be compared to each value for a match.

Matches are only checked if the type of query matches the value of the parameter; e.g., it is not valid to search for a number (ex: 4) inside a string (ex: '455').

paramRead

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> Infobox.paramRead(arg, query) </syntaxhighlight> Performs the same function as paramGrep; however, instead of arg being a name of a parameter to look for, it is the table itself. Useful for functions where only the table of parameters is passed, but not the whole infobox.

categoryData

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> ret:categoryData() </syntaxhighlight> Returns fundamental category data collected during Infobox:cleanParams().

Fields in the category data include:

• one_defined - true if at least one possible value of the parameter is defined
• all_defined - false if at least one possible value of the parameter is not defined

addDropLevelVars

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> Infobox:addDropLevelVars(key, paramName) </syntaxhighlight> Used to link infobox versions to specific drops table versions. Sets a var DropLevel_{key}_{version_name}, where the value is pulled from the value of the given param paramName at each version. If multiple values are set with the same key, the result will be a comma separated string.

For example, if an infobox has |version1 = A|level1 = 10, then ret:addDropLevelVars('combat', 'level') will set the variable DropLevel_combat_A = 10.

Rules

Defined parameters

Parameters are to be considered "defined" if they meet all of the following criteria:

• Is not nil
• Contains at least one non-whitespace character string.find(param,'%S')
• Is not equal to Infobox.nil_param
• Does not contain the string 'action=edit'
