--- Arguments invocation argument extractor for Scribunto modules.
-- It is intended for use by other Lua modules, and should not be
-- called from an invocation (`#invoke`) directly.
--
-- This module supports the following features:
-- * Trimming and blank argument removal.
-- * Argument inheritance between child and parent frames.
-- * Argument extraction for external modules and console input.
-- * Options to customise argument extraction behaviour.
--
-- @script arguments
-- @release stable
-- @note The `args` table from the @{arguments.getArgs}
-- function is a metatable for performance reasons.
-- Thus, the table will not permit Lua table methods
-- such as `#args`, @{next|next(args)}, and @{table}
-- library functions.
-- @note This module will eventually be adapted as a
-- library in [[mw:gerrit:q/158323|MediaWiki
-- core]], called as `require('getArgs')`. The core
-- library will remove `options.parentOnly`.

-- Four different value tidying functions.
-- This way, we don't have to check the options every time we call them.

--- Default value tidying function.
-- Trims parameter values automatically if they are defined strings.
-- Treats blank strings as `nil`.
-- @function tidyValDefault
-- @param {string|number} key MediaWiki parameter key.
-- @param {string|nil} val MediaWiki parameter value,
-- or nil if `key` is an empty string or nil.
-- @local
local function tidyValDefault(key, val)
if type(val) == 'string' then
val = val:match('^%s*(.-)%s*$')
if val == '' then
return nil
else
return val
end
else
return val
end
end

--- Value tidying function that trims values.
-- Trims parameter values automatically if they are defined strings.
-- @function tidyValTrimOnly
-- @param {string|number} key MediaWiki parameter key.
-- @param {string|nil} val MediaWiki parameter value.
-- @local
local function tidyValTrimOnly(key, val)
if type(val) == 'string' then
return val:match('^%s*(.-)%s*$')
else
return val
end
end

--- Value tidying function that removes blanks.
-- Removes blank values from the arguments table.
-- @function tidyValRemoveBlanksOnly
-- @param {string|number} key MediaWiki parameter key.
-- @param {string|nil} val MediaWiki parameter value,
-- or nil if `key` is whitespace or nil.
-- @local
local function tidyValRemoveBlanksOnly(key, val)
if type(val) == 'string' then
if val:find('%S') then
return val
else
return nil
end
else
return val
end
end

--- Value tidying function that returns original value.
-- Effectively a NOOP function that does no value processing.
-- @function tidyValNoChange
-- @param {string|number} key MediaWiki parameter key.
-- @param {string|nil} val MediaWiki parameter value.
-- @local
local function tidyValNoChange(key, val)
return val
end

--- Parent template title match checker.
-- @function matchesTitle
-- @param {string|number|nil} given Local prefixed page
-- title, or MediaWiki article ID (`wgArticleId`).
-- @param {string} title Title of parent template.
-- @return {boolean} Whether the `given` ID/title matches
-- the title of the parent template.
local function matchesTitle(given, title)
local tp = type( given )
return (tp == 'string' or tp == 'number') and mw.title.new( given ).prefixedText == title
end

--- Default argument translation metatable.
-- @table translate_mt
-- @local
local translate_mt = { __index = function(t, k) return k end }

--- Main argument extraction utility.
-- Arguments are memoized once fetched for optimal performance,
-- as with the `frame.args` metatable in Scribunto core.
--
-- The default argument lookup behaviour uses the child frame arguments
-- first, then the parent frame arguments. There are numerous frame
-- options to change this behaviour.
--
-- The default value tidying behaviour trims parameter values if they
-- are defined strings and treats blank strings as `nil`. This can be
-- customised in the `getArgs` options.
--
-- @param {frame|table} frame Scribunto frame object or
-- Lua arguments table, passed from an invocation
-- or Lua logic such as `frame:getParent()`.
-- If this parameter does not have an `args` field
-- and a `getParent` method, `frame` is assumed
-- to be a Lua arguments table, such as the
-- arguments from a named arguments call.
-- @param[opt] {table} options Extraction/processing options.
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.trim
-- Whether to trim the blank arguments present in
-- the arguments table. Accepts `false` only.
-- Default: `true`.
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.removeBlanks
-- Whether to remove blank arguments from the
-- arguments table. Does not shift sequential
-- arguments removed by the processing stage.
-- Accepts `false` only. Default: `true`.
-- @param[opt] {function} options.valueFunc
-- Custom value tidying function for use if the
-- `trim` and `removeBlanks` options don't cover
-- the developer's argument processing use case.
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.frameOnly
-- Only read arguments from child frame (the
-- `frame` parameter - usually invocation frame).
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.parentOnly
-- Only read arguments from `frame` parent (the
-- `frame` parameter - usually template frame).
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.parentFirst
-- Argument lookup in the `frame` parent first,
-- prioritised over the invocation frame arguments.
-- @param[opt] {table} options.wrappers
-- Individual value or array of values, listing
-- wrapper title name(s) or article ID(s) to permit
-- parent argument lookup from.
-- @param[opt] {string|number} options.wrapper
-- Alias of `options.wrappers` - contains title
-- name or article ID to permit parent argument
-- lookup from.
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.readOnly
-- Whether to restrict write permissions to the
-- arguments table. When set to a truthy value,
-- an error will be thrown on any write attempt.
-- @param[opt] {boolean} options.noOverwrite
-- Whether to restrict overwrite attempts on
-- existing argument keys in the arguments table.
-- When set to a truthy value, an error will be
-- thrown on any write attempt that would result
-- in an existing argument being overwritten.
-- @param[opt] {table} options.translate
-- Map of parameter name aliases to their canonical
-- argument parameter names.
-- @param[opt] {table} options.backtranslate
-- Map of canonical parameter names to their
-- argument parameter aliases.
-- Supersedes `options.translate` if both options
-- are in use.
-- @error[opt,317] 'bad value assigned to option "valueFunc"
-- (function expected, got $type)'
-- @error[opt,407] 'could not write to argument table key "$key";
-- the table is read-only'
-- @error[opt,409] 'could not write to argument table key "$key";
-- overwriting existing arguments is not permitted'
-- @return {table} Arguments extracted from invocation.
-- The argument data is embedded as a metatable in
-- the exported table and cannot be accessed with
-- the `#` operator or @{table} library methods.
-- However, the exported table can be written to if
-- the `options.readOnly` flag parameter is not
-- truthy.
-- @usage
--
-- local getArgs = require('Module:Arguments').getArgs
-- function p.main(frame)
-- local args = getArgs(frame, {

-- -- This allows other Lua modules to access the
-- -- main logic in a performant manner without a
-- -- frame object.

-- Define metatable behaviour. Arguments are memoized in the metaArgs table,

-- from the argument tables is the most resource-intensive step in this

-- arguments are also memoized, in the nilArgs table. Also, we keep a record
-- in the metatable of when pairs and ipairs have been called, so we do not
-- run pairs and ipairs on the argument tables more than once. We also do
-- not run ipairs on fargs and pargs if pairs has already been run, as all
-- the arguments will already have been copied over.

-- Fetches an argument when the args table is indexed. First we check
-- to see if the value is memoized, and if not we try and fetch it from
-- the argument tables. When we check memoization, we need to check
-- metaArgs before nilArgs, as both can be non-nil at the same time.
-- If the argument is not present in metaArgs, we also check whether
-- pairs has been run yet. If pairs has already been run, we return nil.
-- This is because all the arguments will have already been copied into
-- metaArgs by the mergeArgs function, meaning that any other arguments
-- must be nil.
