User:JDrewniak (WMF)/notes/The issues with PageIssues js

= Responsibilities =

The initialization function,  and essentially the whole feature, does the following:
 * 1) Define an initialization module for entire page-issues feature. Currently this means:


 * identifies pages-issues on the page
 * parses their severities
 * adds classes & icons to style them accordingly
 * attaches events that open the overlay
 * when clicking on the top page-issues, overlay should display all issues
 * when clicking on section issues, only display issues from that section
 * adds a 'read more' button.

This is the feature in a nutshell, (minus instrumentation). The functionality should work accordingly for the following contexts:


 * only work on the main namespace, for the following scenarios:
 * single issues at the top of the page
 * groups of issues at the top of the page
 * single issues in sections
 * group of issues in sections

The majority of effort has been made to parse the enwiki page-issue markup (ambox) templates, given that many wikis use that as a base for their templates.

CreateLinkElement
Creates a link element.

createBanner
Given a, create (i.e. invoke) all the page-issues features, in-place, on a single (or not!) DOM element, populate a global   variable, and return the modified page-issues elements (or remove them!).

 * GIVEN
 * ,(object) ,(string)  ,(number)   (boolean - the new or old treatment?),   (object)
 * DEFINE
 * the overlay URL fragment
 * the element CSS
 * an empty array of
 * IF we're working with issues at the top of the page:
 * select all the issues on the page ( var $metaData),
 * otherwise select the issues in the section
 * remove something called  from that selection
 * LOOP through each element in the selection
 * IF the element contains exactly zero child elements that match the, and has text:
 * create a PageIssue data model of that element using
 * add that PageIssue to the array of.
 * POPULATE  with the   for this.
 * IF there are, and   (new treatment) is true
 * APPEND and icon to the first issue
 * CREATE a "learn more" button
 * IF this is a "multiple issues" template, insert the button in one place
 * ELSE insert the button in a different place
 * ATTACH the click handlers
 * ELSE
 * and insert that "this page has issues" link at the top of the page.
 * remove the selected issues from the DOM (var $metaData)
 * RETURN selected issues (var $metaData)

getIssues
Given a page (number) or  (string), returns the value of that section from   array. Hopefully that array exists in the outer scope and is populated.

 * GIVEN
 * IF  is NOT  :
 * RETURN all issues for that section OR empty array
 * IF  exists
 * RETURN
 * ELSE RETURN an array containing all the key values of

If minerva is run in desktop mode, it expects the property  to exist, and returns that value. Where is  set?

getAllIssuesSections
Given an array (or is it a map?) called , flips that map and returns a flat array of numbers representing the section of each issue on the page. If that issue is part of a group, (i.e. multiple issues template) it only returns one section value for that group.

Code walkthrough


 * GIVEN :
 * RETURN REDUCE:
 * IF  has issues
 * LOOP through each issue
 * IF issue is
 * AND the last issue is
 * AND the last issues has already been added to
 * set the last value in  to the current issue section
 * ELSE
 * push the section number into

''Do we need to set the last value in  to the current issue section? Shouldn't that value already be set?''

initPageIssues
Given  and , creates the page-issue banners depending on the namespace and whether or not the new page-issues treatment has been enabled.

 * IF  add a   class to the element.
 * IF we're in the talk or category namespace:
