This is a documentation subpage for Module:InfoboxBuilder. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page. |
This module depends on the following other modules: |
This module uses TemplateStyles: |
This module creates an infobox using the builder pattern. All infoboxes using this module can be found at Category:Infobox modules.
Building an infobox[edit source]
For an infobox to be built without errors, certain essential functions must be called before others. The following table details groups of functions and their priorities. The lower the number, the higher the priority. The functions setHeaderTextColor()
and setHeaderBackgroundColor()
are not required, but their CSS changes will not be applied if called later. In addition, the functions that add rows to the table, addHeader()
, addImage()
, and addRow()
are not all required, but is it recommended to use at least addHeader()
and addRow()
.

Import the module[edit source]
local InfoboxBuilder = require('Module:InfoboxBuilder')
Unpack the frame arguments[edit source]
function p.main(frame)
local args = frame:getParent().args
...
Create the infobox object[edit source]
local infobox = InfoboxBuilder.new()
Set the infobox name[edit source]
Setting the infobox name sets the template that the infobox links to inside of the navbar.
infobox:setName('Infobox')
Define the parameters[edit source]
When defining the parameters, the arguments will be processed when given a function or table. fn
is an optional processing function or table that will transform the raw argument value into a specific format. An optional default value for the raw argument can be set using the default
option.
An example of using fn
would be to have fn
be a function that splits a comma separated list into a table in Lua.
infobox:setParams {
...
}
Pass in the arguments[edit source]
infobox:setArgs(args)
Process the arguments[edit source]
Processing the arguments will set default value (if it exists) and turn the raw argument passed in from setArgs(args) into a processed format for each parameter. This step is required or else the infobox will not work.
infobox:processArgs()
Specify a category map[edit source]
A category map can be optionally set. This uses the processed argument and generates the correct categories.
infobox:setCategoryMap({
...
})
Prepare[edit source]
Create the look of the infobox by adding headers, images, or rows. If the values shown in these cells use values from parameters, an optional postprocessing function or table fn
will transform the processed arguments for display purposes.
-- add a header or subheader
infobox:addHeader(
{...},
{...}
)
-- add an image
infobox:addImage(
{...},
{...}
)
-- add a row
infobox:addRow(
{...},
{...}
)
Build[edit source]
To build the infobox from data into an HTML table, call the tostring() function.
infobox:tostring()
Get the categories from the category map[edit source]
To get the categories, call the getCategories()
function.
infobox:getCategories()
Functions[edit source]
For the following functions, assume an InfoboxBuilder object called "infobox" already exists.
local infobox = InfoboxBuilder.new()
Public functions[edit source]
new[edit source]
This function is required.
InfoboxBuilder.new()
Creates a new InfoboxBuilder object.
setName[edit source]
This function is required.
This function is chainable.
infobox:setName(arg)
- arg
arg
should be a string
. Setting the infobox name will link the navbar to the correct template page and template talk page.
setHeaderTextColor[edit source]
This function is optional.
This function is chainable.
infobox:setHeaderTextColor(arg)
- arg
arg
should be a string
that contains a valid CSS color (hex code, rgb value, hsl value, etc.). Calling this function will change the color of the text in the infobox's headers and subheaders. The changes will not apply to headers added before this function is called, so it is recommended to call this function early.
setHeaderBackgroundColor[edit source]
This function is optional.
This function is chainable.
infobox:setHeaderBackgroundColor(arg)
- arg
arg
should be a string
that contains a valid CSS color (hex code, rgb value, hsl value, etc.). Calling this function will change the background color of the infobox's headers and subheaders. The changes will not apply to headers added before this function is called, so it is recommended to call this function early.
setParams[edit source]
This function is required.
This function is chainable.
infobox:setParams(...)
This function sets the valid parameters, their default values, and their formatting.
The arguments passed in should be tables of format:
{
name = <paramName>,
fn = <processingFn>,
default = <default>
}
- paramName
paramName
should be a valid string
that is unique. This name serves the key used to grab the raw values from the args
table passed in from setArgs()
. It also serves as the key for each parameter and will be referenced later.
- processingFn
processingFn
should be a function
or a table
that transforms the raw value of the argument passed in. This value is optional.
A collection of predefined processing functions can be found at Module:ProcessingFunctions.
- default
default
should be a string that serves as the default value if no raw value is present for the key in the args
table. This value is optional.
setArgs[edit source]
This function is required.
This function is chainable.
infobox:setArgs(args)
- args
args
should be a table
with key value pairs representing parameter names and values.
getRawArgs[edit source]
infobox:getRawArgs()
This function returns the "private" rawArgs
associative array containing the raw values passed in from setArgs()
.
getProcessedArgs[edit source]
infobox:getProcessedArgs()
This function returns the "private" procArgs
associative array after being processed.
getArgs[edit source]
infobox:getArgs(which)
- which
which
should be a string
that is either "raw" or "processed" for the raw argument values or processed argument values, respectively.
