Module:MakeMWModule

Documentation

[purge]

Lua-only module which creates MediaWiki-compatible tables from other Lua modules.

makeMWModule(t, opts)

Replaces all functions in a Lua module with ones that take MediaWiki frame arguments, aliasing the original functions.

Parameters

• t

Lua table with keys mapped to functions

• opts

Table containing options to Module:Arguments.getArgs (optional)

Return values

• A new table mwt such that, for every function t.f present in the argument table:
  • mwt.f is a function that accepts a single MediaWiki frame argument, calls Module:Arguments.getArgs on it (using opts as the options table), then forwards the result and the frame itself to t.f
  • mwt._f == t.f

The above documentation is transcluded from Module:MakeMWModule/doc. (edit | history)

local getArgs = require('Module:Arguments').getArgs

local makeMWModule = function (base, opts)
  local p = {}
  for k, v in pairs(base) do
    p['_' .. k] = v
    p[k] = function (frame)
      return v(getArgs(frame, opts), frame)
    end
  end
  return p
end

return {
	makeMWModule = makeMWModule,
}
