Hi, everyone.
I want to share my tiny class "Views"[1] which helps me in development
process. Many extensions created have UI-part: kind of panels, widgets,
etc added to page output. Usually, html code just stored in some
variable and pushed to $wgOut:
$myWidget = '<div id="my-wiget">Today weather:' .$someData. '</div>';
$wgOut->addHtml($myWidget);
But, it is more convenient, if template for this html code will be in
separate folder, not mixed with php code.
This is what "Views" for. With it this code looks like:
$myWidget = Views::forge('widget', array('some' => $someData) );
$wgOut->addHtml( $myWidget );
Extension have "views" folder in root
(e.g. /extensions/MyWidget/views ), which contains widget.php file with
contents:
<div id="my-wiget">Today weather: <?=$some?> </div>
So, after "Views"[1] call, $myWidget variable will hold the result.
You can download this helper as extension for Mediawiki and use it,
after include in LocalSetting.php
