From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JavaScript function library of utilities to analyze and format ISBN.

Libraries of WikiSyntaxTextMod (WSTM) are shared and made available internally.

Installation

[edit]

Gadget programmers need to wait for correct installation of this script before any function can be used. This requires two steps, loading and executing.

if ( ! mw.loader.getState( "ext.gadget.isbnLib" ) ) {
   mw.loader.state( { "ext.gadget.isbnLib": "loading" } );
   mw.loader.load( "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?"
                   + "title=User:PerfektesChaos/js/"
                   + "isbnLib/r.js"
                   + "&bcache=1&maxage=604800"
                   + "&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript" );
}
mw.hook( "isbnLib.ready" ).add( mainTask );

Loading again would not be meaningful if already done. Therefore the state of this script is checked first. Another gadget which also uses this script library might have loaded already.

When loading of all components has been completed, the isbnLib.ready hook will be fired.

Here is mainTask a callback function with the actual functionality of the user application.

function mainTask( application ) may use one parameter. That is the application object for the library. It is supposed to be mapped into mw.libs.isbnLib also.

API

[edit]

All API functions are components of the application parameter in the hook function, which is mapped to the mw.libs.isbnLib application object.

[edit]

Create a RegExp string for ISBN detection, to find even faulty formatted ISBN.

Internals

[edit]

The library is utilising components of WikiSyntaxTextMod (currently S and U).

A qunit test is available.
