模組:Parameters
本模块可以检查模板参数并处理成Lua表格。
process
process(args, params, return_unknown)
Processes arguments with a given list of parameters, and returns a table containing the processed arguments. The args parameter specifies the arguments to be processed; they are the arguments you might retrieve from frame:getParent().args. The params parameter specifies a list of valid parameters, and consists of a table. If an argument is encountered that is not in the parameter table, an error is shown.
The parameters table should have the parameter names as the indexes, and a (possibly empty) table of parameter tags as the value. An empty table as the value merely states that the parameter exists, but should not receive any special treatment. Possible parameter tags are listed below.
An example parameters table (from Module:translations):
{
[1] = {required = true, default = "und"},
[2] = {},
[3] = {list = true},
["alt"] = {},
["sc"] = {},
["tr"] = {},
}
The return_unknown parameter, if set to true, prevents the function from triggering an error when it comes across an argument with a name that it doesn't recognise. Instead, the return value is a pair of values: the first is the processed arguments as usual, while the second contains all the unrecognised arguments that were left unprocessed. This allows you to do multi-stage processing, where the entire set of arguments that a template should accept is not known at once. For example, an inflection-table might do some generic processing on some arguments, but then defer processing of the remainder to the function that handles a specific inflectional type.
参数标签
required = true- 这个标签必选，否则报错。报错会在模板页而非嵌入模板的页面产生。
default =- 指定参数默认值，当参数为空或缺少时启用。When used on list parameters, this specifies a default value for the first item in the list only. Note that it is not possible to generate a default that depends on the value of other parameters.
- If used together with
required = true, the default applies only to the template's page itself. This can be used to show an example text. alias_of =- Treat the parameter as an alias of another. When arguments are specified for this parameter, they will automatically be renamed and stored under the alias name. This allows for parameters with multiple alternative names, while still treating them as if they had only one name. It is even possible for the
alias_of =to have a name that is not a parameter itself. - Aliases should not be required, as this prevents the other name or names of the parameter from being used. Parameters that are aliases and required at the same time are tracked (see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/parameters/required alias).
allow_empty = true- If the argument is an empty string value, it is not converted to
nil, but kept as-is. allow_whitespace = true- Spacing characters such as spaces and newlines at the beginning and end of a positional parameter are not removed.
type =- Specifies what value type to convert the argument into. The default is to leave it as a text string. Alternatives are:
type = "boolean"- The value is treated as a boolean value, either true or false. No value, the empty string, and the strings
"0","no","n"and"false"are treated asfalse, all other values are consideredtrue. type = "number"- The value is converted into a number, or
nilif the value is not parsable as a number.
list =- Treat the parameter as a list of values, each having its own parameter name, rather than a single value. The parameters will have a number at the end, except optionally for the first (but see also
require_index = true). For example,list = trueon a parameter named "head" will include the parameters|head=(or|head1=),|head2=,|head3=and so on. If the parameter name is a number, another number doesn't get appended, but the counting simply continues, e.g. for parameter3the sequence is|3=,|4=,|5=etc. List parameters are returned as numbered lists, so for a template that is given the parameters|head=a|head2=b|head3=c, the processed value of the parameter"head"will be{ "a", "b", "c" }. - The value for
list =can also be a string. This tells the module that parameters other than the first should have a different name, which is useful when the first parameter in a list is a number, but the remainder is named. An example would be for genders:list = "g"on a parameter named1would have parameters|1=,|g2=,|g3=etc. - If the number is not located at the end, it can be specified by putting an equal sign "=" at the number position. For example, parameters
|f1accel=,|f2accel=, ... can be captured by using the parameter name"f=accel", as is done in Module:headword/templates. allow_holes = true- This is used in conjunction with list-type parameters. By default, the values are tightly packed in the resulting list. This means that if, for example, an entry specified
head=a|head3=cbut not|head2=, the returned list will be{"a", "c"}, with the values stored at the indices1and2, not1and3. If it is desirable to keep the numbering intact, for example if the numbers of several list parameters correlate with each other (like those of{{compound}}), then this tag should be specified. - If
allow_holes = trueis given, there may benilvalues in between two real values, which makes many of Lua's table processing functions no longer work, like#oripairs(). To remedy this, the resulting table will contain an additional named value,maxindex, which tells you the highest numeric index that is present in the table. In the example above, the resulting table will now be{ "a", nil, "c", maxindex = 3}. That way, you can iterate over the values from1tomaxindex, while skippingnilvalues in between. require_index = true- This is used in conjunction with list-type parameters. By default, the first parameter can have its index omitted. For example, a list parameter named
headcan have its first parameter specified as either|head=or|head1=. Ifrequire_index = trueis specified, however, only|head1=is recognized, and|head=will be treated as an unknown parameter.{{affixusex}}(and variants{{suffixusex}},{{prefixusex}}) use this, for example, on all list parameters. One possible use opened up by this is to distinguish between|head=and|head1=as different parameters. This is used in{{affixusex}}and variants, for example, to distinguish between|sc=(a script code for all elements in the usex's language) and|sc1=(the script code of the first element, used when|lang1=is also specified to indicate that the first element is in a different language).

--[==[ intro:
This module is used to standardize template argument processing and checking. A typical workflow is as follows (based
on [[Module:translations]]):
{
...
local parent_args = frame:getParent().args
local params = {
[1] = {required = true, type = "language", default = "und"},
[2] = true,
[3] = {list = true},
["alt"] = true,
["id"] = true,
["sc"] = {type = "script"},
["tr"] = true,
["ts"] = true,
["lit"] = true,
}
local args = require("Module:parameters").process(parent_args, params)
-- Do further processing of the parsed arguments in `args`.
...
}
The `params` table should have the parameter names as the keys, and a (possibly empty) table of parameter tags as the
value. An empty table as the value merely states that the parameter exists, but should not receive any special
treatment; if desired, empty tables can be replaced with the value `true` as a perforamnce optimization.
Possible parameter tags are listed below:
; {required = true}
: The parameter is required; an error is shown if it is not present. The template's page itself is an exception; no
error is shown there.
; {default =}
: Specifies a default input value for the parameter, if it is absent or empty. This will be processed as though it were
the input instead, so (for example) {default = "und"} with the type {"language"} will return a language object for
[[:Category:Undetermined language|Undetermined language]] if no language code is provided. When used on list
parameters, this specifies a default value for the first item in the list only. Note that it is not possible to
generate a default that depends on the value of other parameters. If used together with {required = true}, the default
applies only to template pages (see the following entry), as a side effect of the fact that "required" parameters
aren't actually required on template pages. This can be used to show an example of the template in action when the
template page is visited; however, it is preferred to use `template_default` for this purpose, for clarity.
; {template_default =}
: Specifies a default input value for absent or empty parameters only on template pages. Template pages are any page in
the template space (beginning with `Template:`) except for documentation pages (those ending in `.../documentation`).
This can be used to provide an example value for a non-required parameter when the template page is visited, without
interfering with other uses of the template. Both `template_default` and `default` can be specified for the same
parameter. If this is done, `template_default` applies on template pages, and `default` on other pages. As an example,
{{tl|cs-IPA}} uses the equivalent of {[1] = {default = "+", template_default = "příklad"}} to supply a default of
{"+"} for mainspace and documentation pages (which tells the module to use the value of the {{para|pagename}}
parameter, falling back to the actual pagename), but {"příklad"} (which means "example"), on [[Template:cs-IPA]].
; {alias_of =}
: Treat the parameter as an alias of another. When arguments are specified for this parameter, they will automatically
be renamed and stored under the alias name. This allows for parameters with multiple alternative names, while still
treating them as if they had only one name. The conversion-related properties of an aliased parameter (e.g. `type`,
`set`, `convert`, `sublist`) are taken from the aliasee, and the corrresponding properties set on the alias itself
are ignored; but other properties on the alias are taken from the alias's spec and not from the aliasee's spec. This
means, for example, that if you create an alias of a list parameter, the alias must also specify the `list` property
or it is not a list. (In such a case, a value specified for the alias goes into the first item of the aliasee's list.
You cannot make a list alias of a non-list parameter; this causes an error to be thrown.) Similarly, if you specify
`separate_no_index` on an aliasee but not on the alias, uses of the unindexed aliasee parameter are stored into the
`.default` key, but uses of the unindexed alias are stored into the first numbered key of the aliasee's list.
Aliases cannot be required, as this prevents the other name or names of the parameter from being used. Parameters
that are aliases and required at the same time cause an error to be thrown.
; {allow_empty = true}
: If the argument is an empty string value, it is not converted to {nil}, but kept as-is. The use of `allow_empty` is
disallowed if a type has been specified, and causes an error to be thrown.
; {no_trim = true}
: Spacing characters such as spaces and newlines at the beginning and end of a positional parameter are not removed.
(MediaWiki itself automatically trims spaces and newlines at the edge of named parameters.) The use of `no_trim` is
disallowed if a type has been specified, and causes an error to be thrown.
; {type =}
: Specifies what value type to convert the argument into. The default is to leave it as a text string. Alternatives are:
:; {type = "boolean"}
:: The value is treated as a boolean value, either true or false. No value, the empty string, and the strings {"0"},
{"no"}, {"n"} and {"false"} are treated as {false}, all other values are considered {true}.
:; {type = "number"}
:: The value is converted into a number, and throws an error if the value is not parsable as a number. Input values may
be signed (`+` or `-`), and may contain decimal points and leading zeroes. If {allow_hex = true}, then hexadecimal
values in the form {"0x100"} may optionally be used instead, which otherwise have the same syntax restrictions
(including signs, decimal digits, and leading zeroes after {"0x"}). Hexadecimal inputs are not case-sensitive. Lua's
special number values (`inf` and `nan`) are not possible inputs.
:; {type = "language"}
:: The value is interpreted as a full or [[Wiktionary:Languages#Etymology-only languages|etymology-only language]] code
language code (or name, if {method = "name"}) and converted into the corresponding object (see [[Module:languages]]).
If the code or name is invalid, then an error is thrown. The additional setting {family = true} can be given to allow
[[Wiktionary:Language families|language family codes]] to be considered valid and the corresponding object returned.
Note that to distinguish an etymology-only language object from a full language object, use
{object:hasType("language", "etymology-only")}.
:; {type = "full language"}
:: The value is interpreted as a full language code (or name, if {method = "name"}) and converted into the corresponding
object (see [[Module:languages]]). If the code or name is invalid, then an error is thrown. Etymology-only languages
are not allowed. The additional setting {family = true} can be given to allow
[[Wiktionary:Language families|language family codes]] to be considered valid and the corresponding object returned.
:; {type = "wikimedia language"}
:: The value is interpreted as a code and converted into a wikimedia language object. If the code is invalid, then an
error is thrown. If {method = "fallback"} is specified, conventional language codes which are different from their
Wikimedia equivalent will also be accepted as a fallback.
:; {type = "family"}
:: The value is interpreted as a language family code (or name, if {method = "name"}) and converted into the
corresponding object (see [[Module:families]]). If the code or name is invalid, then an error is thrown.
:; {type = "script"}
:: The value is interpreted as a script code (or name, if {method = "name"}) and converted into the corresponding object
(see [[Module:scripts]]). If the code or name is invalid, then an error is thrown.
:; {type = "title"}
:: The value is interpreted as a page title and converted into the corresponding object (see the [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Title_library|Title library]]). If the page title is invalid, then an error is thrown. If {namespace = n} (where {n} is a namespace number), then the title object will be in that namespace unless overridden by a namespace prefix in the value; this is the way that template invocations work, where the template namespace is used by default, but can be overridden. If {strict = true}, then the namespace prefix is unconditionally added to the value in all cases, even if a prefix is already present; this is way that {{tl|#invoke:}} works, where the "Module:" prefix is always appended no matter what.
:; {type = "qualifier"}
:: The value is interpreted as a qualifier and converted into the correct format for passing into `format_qualifiers()`
in [[Module:qualifier]] (which currently just means converting it to a one-item list).
:; {type = "labels"}
:: The value is interpreted as a comma-separated list of labels and converted into the correct format for passing into
`show_labels()` in [[Module:labels]] (which is currently a list of strings). Splitting is done on commas not followed
by whitespace, except that commas inside of double angle brackets do not count even if not followed by whitespace.
This type should be used by for normal labels (typically specified using {{para|l}} or {{para|ll}}) and accent
qualifiers (typically specified using {{para|a}} and {{para|aa}}).
:; {type = "references"}
:: The value is interpreted as one or more references, in the format prescribed by `parse_references()` in
[[Module:references]], and converted into a list of objects of the form accepted by `format_references()` in the same
module. If a syntax error is found in the reference format, an error is thrown.
; {list =}
: Treat the parameter as a list of values, each having its own parameter name, rather than a single value. The
parameters will have a number at the end, except optionally for the first (but see also {require_index = true}). For
example, {list = true} on a parameter named "head" will include the parameters {{para|head}} (or {{para|head1}}),
{{para|head2}}, {{para|head3}} and so on. If the parameter name is a number, another number doesn't get appended, but
the counting simply continues, e.g. for parameter {3} the sequence is {{para|3}}, {{para|4}}, {{para|5}} etc. List
parameters are returned as numbered lists, so for a template that is given the parameters `|head=a|head2=b|head3=c`,
the processed value of the parameter {"head"} will be { { "a", "b", "c" }}}.
: The value for {list =} can also be a string. This tells the module that parameters other than the first should have a
different name, which is useful when the first parameter in a list is a number, but the remainder is named. An example
would be for genders: {list = "g"} on a parameter named {1} would have parameters {{para|1}}, {{para|g2}}, {{para|g3}}
etc.
: If the number is not located at the end, it can be specified by putting {"\1"} at the number position. For example,
parameters {{para|f1accel}}, {{para|f2accel}}, ... can be captured by using the parameter name {"f\1accel"}, as is
done in [[Module:headword/templates]].
; {set =}
: Require that the value of the parameter be one of the specified list of values (or omitted, if {required = true} isn't
given). The values in the specified list should be strings corresponding to the raw parameter values except when
{type = "number"}, in which case they should be numbers. The use of `set` is disallowed if {type = "boolean"} and
causes an error to be thrown.
; {sublist =}
: The value of the parameter is a delimiter-separated list of individual raw values. The resulting field in `args` will
be a Lua list (i.e. a table with numeric indices) of the converted values. If {sublist = true} is given, the values
will be split on comma (possibly with whitespace on one or both sides of the comma, which is ignored). Otherwise, the
value of `sublist` should be either a Lua pattern specifying the delimiter(s) to split on or a function to do the
splitting, which is passed two values (the value to split and a function to signal an error) and should return a list
of the split values. A function `split_on_comma_without_whitespace()` is provided in [[Module:parameters]] to split on
commas not followed by whitespace, while considering commas followed by whitespace part of the argument.
; {convert =}
: If given, this specifies a function to convert the raw parameter value into the Lua object used during further
processing. The function is passed two arguments, the raw parameter value itself and a function used to signal an
error during parsing or conversion, and should return one value, the converted parameter. The error-signaling function
contains the name and raw value of the parameter embedded into the message it generates, so these do not need to
specified in the message passed into it. If `type` is specified in conjunction with `convert`, the processing by
`type` happens first. If `sublist` is given in conjunction with `convert`, the raw parameter value will be split
appropriately and `convert` called on each resulting item.
; {allow_hex = true}
: When used in conjunction with {type = "number"}, allows hexadecimal numbers as inputs, in the format {"0x100"} (which is
not case-sensitive).
; {family = true}
: When used in conjunction with {type = "language"}, allows [[Wiktionary:Language families|language family codes]] to be
returned. To check if a given object refers to a language family, use {object:hasType("family")}.
; {method = "name"}
: When used in conjunction with {type = "language"}, {type = "family"} or {type = "script"}, checks for and parses a
language, family or script name instead of a code.
; {allow_holes = true}
: This is used in conjunction with list-type parameters. By default, the values are tightly packed in the resulting
list. This means that if, for example, an entry specified `head=a|head3=c` but not {{para|head2}}, the returned list
will be { {"a", "c"}}}, with the values stored at the indices {1} and {2}, not {1} and {3}. If it is desirable to keep
the numbering intact, for example if the numbers of several list parameters correlate with each other (like those of
{{tl|affix}}), then this tag should be specified.
: If {allow_holes = true} is given, there may be {nil} values in between two real values, which makes many of Lua's
table processing functions no longer work, like {#} or {ipairs()}. To remedy this, the resulting table will contain an
additional named value, `maxindex`, which tells you the highest numeric index that is present in the table. In the
example above, the resulting table will now be { { "a", nil, "c", maxindex = 3}}}. That way, you can iterate over the
values from {1} to `maxindex`, while skipping {nil} values in between.
; {disallow_holes = true}
: This is used in conjunction with list-type parameters. As mentioned above, normally if there is a hole in the source
arguments, e.g. `head=a|head3=c` but not {{para|head2}}, it will be removed in the returned list. If
{disallow_holes = true} is specified, however, an error is thrown in such a case. This should be used whenever there
are multiple list-type parameters that need to line up (e.g. both {{para|head}} and {{para|tr}} are available and
{{para|head3}} lines up with {{para|tr3}}), unless {allow_holes = true} is given and you are prepared to handle the
holes in the returned lists.
; {require_index = true}
: This is used in conjunction with list-type parameters. By default, the first parameter can have its index omitted.
For example, a list parameter named `head` can have its first parameter specified as either {{para|head}} or
{{para|head1}}. If {require_index = true} is specified, however, only {{para|head1}} is recognized, and {{para|head}}
will be treated as an unknown parameter. {{tl|affixusex}} (and variants {{tl|suffixusex}}, {{tl|prefixusex}}) use
this, for example, on all list parameters.
; {separate_no_index = true}
: This is used to distinguish between {{para|head}} and {{para|head1}} as different parameters. For example, in
{{tl|affixusex}}, to distinguish between {{para|sc}} (a script code for all elements in the usex's language) and
{{para|sc1}} (the script code of the first element, used when the first element is prefixed with a language code to
indicate that it is in a different language). When this is used, the resulting table will contain an additional named
value, `default`, which contains the value for the indexless argument.
; {demo = true}
: This is used as a way to ensure that the parameter is only enabled on the template's own page (and its documentation page), and in the User: namespace; otherwise, it will be treated as an unknown parameter. This should only be used if special settings are required to showcase a template in its documentation (e.g. adjusting the pagename or disabling categorization). In most cases, it should be possible to do this without using demo parameters, but they may be required if a template/documentation page also contains real uses of the same template as well (e.g. {{tl|shortcut}}), as a way to distinguish them.

Convert a parameter value according to the associated specs listed in the `params` table passed to
[[Module:parameters]]. `val` is the value to convert for a parameter whose name is `name` (used only in error messages).
`param` is the spec (the value part of the `params` table for the parameter). In place of passing in the parameter name,
`name` can be a function that throws an error, displaying the specified message along with the parameter name and value.
This function processes all the conversion-related fields in `param`, including `type`, `set`, `sublist`, `convert`,

--[==[
Process arguments with a given list of parameters. Return a table containing the processed arguments. The `args`
parameter specifies the arguments to be processed; they are the arguments you might retrieve from
{frame:getParent().args} (the template arguments) or in some cases {frame.args} (the invocation arguments). The `params`
parameter specifies a list of valid parameters, and consists of a table. If an argument is encountered that is not in
the parameter table, an error is thrown.
The structure of the `params` table is as described above in the intro comment.
'''WARNING:''' The `params` table is destructively modified to save memory. Nonetheless, different keys can share the
same value objects in memory without causing problems.
The `return_unknown` parameter, if set to {true}, prevents the function from triggering an error when it comes across an
argument with a name that it doesn't recognise. Instead, the return value is a pair of values: the first is the
processed arguments as usual, while the second contains all the unrecognised arguments that were left unprocessed. This
allows you to do multi-stage processing, where the entire set of arguments that a template should accept is not known at
once. For example, an inflection-table might do some generic processing on some arguments, but then defer processing of
the remainder to the function that handles a specific inflectional type.
