Usage[edit]
From wikitext[edit]
From wikitext this module should be used via Template:Icon. Please see the template page for documentation.
From Lua[edit]
To use this module from another Lua module, first load it:
local mIcon = require('Module:Icon')
Then you can make icons with the _main function.
mIcon._main(args)
The args variable is a table of arguments. This corresponds to the parameters accepted by Template:Icon - please see the template page for parameter documentation.
Data[edit]
The icon data is stored at Module:Icon/data. See the instructions there for how to add and remove icons.
-- This module implements [[Template:Icon]].
local data = mw.loadData('Module:Icon/data')
local p = {}
function p._main(args)
local code = args.class or args[1]
local iconData
if code then
code = code:match('^%s*(.-)%s*$'):lower() -- trim whitespace and put in lower case
iconData = data[code]
end
if not iconData then
iconData = data._DEFAULT
end
return string.format(
'[[File:%s%s|%s|link=]]',
iconData.image,
iconData.tooltip and '|' .. iconData.tooltip or '',
args.size or '16x16px'
)
end
function p.main(frame)
local args = {}
for k, v in pairs(frame:getParent().args) do
args[k] = v
end
return p._main(args)
end
return p
