Hi devs, I’d like to add a new script API in oldcore.
I need a new API to know if the XAR export feature is available so that the Page level XAR export button is displayed (I’m trying to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13695#). I was thinking about adding some XXXScriptService in oldcore but the right hint would be “xar” and XXX would be “XAR”. The problem is that we already have one in xwiki-platform-xar (which right now is used by oldcore and thus I cannot add this new method to the existing XarScriptService that is there). I can’t find any name or hint that would make sense on the long run for oldcore. Some other ideas: * OldCoreScriptService, hint = “oldcore” and we consider it something temporary that will need to go away and deprecate * CoreScriptService, hint = “core”. Same * ImportExportSerciceService, hint = “?” Last, I have the option to continue what we’ve done so far which is increase a bit more the size of api.XWiki. For example we have in there the following method which does something similar: /** * @return true if title handling should be using the compatibility mode or not. When the compatibility mode is * active, if the document's content first header (level 1 or level 2) matches the document's title the * first header is stripped. */ public boolean isTitleInCompatibilityMode() { return this.xwiki.isTitleInCompatibilityMode(); } so I could add XWiki.isXARExportAvailable()… WDYT? Any preference? Right now I have a hard time deciding. I hate it but I’m considering adding a new method to the XWiki class, but I’d love to find something better.
