Template documentation (for the template shown above, sometimes hidden or invisible)
Description
- This is the main-entry-point of a complex template-class
- It is used to automatically list all the values of a property of a page as an un-ordered list.
- This generated-output will be used in {{Infobox}} to automatically show relevant info.
- See these pages for documentation on functions used:
- Other pages with relevant info are:
Functional logic
- {{PropVals}} is used as a wrapper to inject extra arguments into {{PropVals/List}}, using the output of {{PropVals/getGroupedRecords}}.
- {{PropVals/List}} is used as a wrapper to inject extra arguments into {{PropVals/Print Entry}}, to output each entry of a grouped-record under a common group-heading when appropriate, as list-items
<li>...</li>.- {{PropVals/Print Entry}} is used to display each entry in a visually appealing way, by outputting an icon-image followed by a link to the page of the object followed by the amount when requested.
- It uses {{PropVals/Split}} to extract the name- and amount-fields from the entry.
- {{PropVals/Print Entry}} is used to display each entry in a visually appealing way, by outputting an icon-image followed by a link to the page of the object followed by the amount when requested.
- {{PropVals/getGroupedRecords}} is used as a wrapper to inject extra arguments into {{PropVals/Group}}, using the output of {{PropVals/getRecords}} as input, to output grouped-records, for further processing by {{PropVals}}.
- {{PropVals/Group}} is used as a wrapper to inject extra arguments into {{PropVals/Group/NextPart}}, using records as input, to output grouped-records.
- {{PropVals/Group/NextPart}} is used as a helper-template, to output a grouped-record that starts with the group-heading followed by entries.
- An entry is a record with its heading-field removed, that has the same heading-field as the previous record.
- It uses {{PropVals/Group/heading}} and {{PropVals/Split}} to separate the fields in the record.
- The structure of a record is:
Objectname{{{sep}}}Amount{{{sep}}}Groupheading
- {{PropVals/Group/NextPart}} is used as a helper-template, to output a grouped-record that starts with the group-heading followed by entries.
- {{PropVals/getRecords}} is used to retrieve all the values of a property of a page, and output them as records for further processing by {{PropVals/getGroupedRecords}}.
- {{PropVals/Group}} is used as a wrapper to inject extra arguments into {{PropVals/Group/NextPart}}, using records as input, to output grouped-records.
- {{PropVals/List}} is used as a wrapper to inject extra arguments into {{PropVals/Print Entry}}, to output each entry of a grouped-record under a common group-heading when appropriate, as list-items
Syntax
- Type the below code somewhere inside {{Infobox}} or a page:
{{PropVals |prop=RequiresObj |page={{FULLPAGENAME}} |sep={{{sep|;}}} |grpsep={{{grpsep|/\}}} |showamount={{{showamount|no}}} }}
Examples
- {{PropVals|prop=RequiresObj|page=Help:Infobox/testdata|showamount=y}} gives:
- {{PropVals|prop=RequiresObj|page=Help:Infobox/testdata|showamount=y|debug=y}} gives:
Sub-templates
- Test data used in examples: PropVals testdata
- {{PropVals/Group}}
- {{PropVals/Group/NextPart}}
- {{PropVals/Group/heading}}
- {{PropVals/List}}
- {{PropVals/Print Entry}}
- {{PropVals/Split}}
- {{PropVals/getGroupedRecords}}
- {{PropVals/getRecords}}
- {{PropVals/getIcon}}
