Module:Param Parse

Module documentation

Module:Param Parse requires Module:Infobox.

Module:Param Parse is required by .

These params and functions are used to validate and format information passed into an Infobox. See Module:Infobox for details and instructions on creating an Infobox. If the information is missing or not valid, the functions here should return nil.

Here is a summary of all the params:

param	explanation
parse.actions	Actions listed in the action menu
parse.name	Title
parse.description	Description of the entity in its card
parse.image	[[File:IMAGE.png]]. Use the class infobox-image in the table
parse.image_size300	[[File:IMAGE.png\|300x300px]] by default unless overridden. Use the class infobox-image in the table
parse.episode	Episode name
parse.additional_episode	Episode name
parse.premium	Premium (Yes, No, N/A)
parse.release	Release Date in the format YYYY-MM-DD
parse.value	Shows the value as a denomination of coins
parse.profession	TODO
parse.profession_bubble_a, parse.profession_bubble_b	Takes parameters profession_a + profession_a_level, or profession_b + profession_b_level
parse.profession_a_smw, parse.profession_a_level_smw, parse.profession_b_smw, parse.profession_b_level_smw	Exports the data from profession_bubble_a and profession_bubble_b to smw
parse.variant	TODO - Which category the subject is a variant of
parse.passive	Passiveness (Yes, No, N/A)
parse.duration	Number of hours to complete the venture
parse.aggressive	Aggressive (Yes, No, N/A)
parse.difficulty	Quest difficulty (0-5)
parse.quest	Quest name (or No)
parse.unlock_level	Unlocked at
parse.knowledge	Knowledge

Here are some general use functions that can be used for custom or new params:

function name	explanation
has_content(arg)	Returns arg if any non-whitespace character is found in the string.
number(num)	Removes any commas and parses the string as a number
yes_no(text)	Only accepts "Yes", "No" and "N/A"
yes_no_smw(text)	Maps "Yes", "No" to true and false respectively

Creating New Params

Ideally, params should be defined here so that they can be reused between different Infoboxes. Here is how to create a new param:

parse.paramname = {
	name = <param>,
    func = <func>,
    empty = 'empty', -- optional
    category_never = 'category', -- optional
    category_partial = 'category', -- optional
    category_incomplete = 'category', -- optional
    category_complete = 'category', -- optional
    smw_property = 'Property', -- optional
    smw_func = <func>, -- optional
}

key

value

name

parameter name as used in the Template

func

A function in Module:Param Parse to validate and process the Template argument. You can also use a local function, but this is not recommended.

If func is a function, will call func(Infobox.raw_param(name)):

	{name = <param>, func = <func>, ... },

If func is a table, it takes the following parameters:

	{name = <param>, func = { name = <func>, params = <func_params>}, ... },

name	function in Module:Param Parse
params	a list of parameters to pass the the function, in the form of constants, or Infobox.raw_param(name), Infobox.param(name), Infobox.smw_param(name)

empty (optional)

text to display in the infobox if func returns nil; defaults to "? (edit)"

category_never (optional)

category to add if func returns nil for all versions

category_partial (optional)

category to add if func returns nil for some versions, but a value for other versions

category_incomplete (optional)

category to add if func returns nil for at least 1 version (i.e. category_never and category_partial combined)

category_complete (optional)

category to add if func returns a value for all versions

smw_property (optional)

if this string is defined, the parameter will be saved into SMW

smw_func (optional)

function to validate and process the Template argument to save into SMW. func is used by default if smw_func is not defined
