Extension talk:WikiScripts

It would be so nice if extension authors would put up a summary that told us something more than the title of the extension, and if they would take the time to put an actual example in place.

Keywords in and contains.
These are important and I think you should add definitions and maybe examples. Also, is there a way to remove a key/value pair from an array?

 * Yes, delete( a['key'] ). I'll add that. VasilievVV 22:11, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

numeric functions
I think there have to be at least a few numeric functions defined. Perhaps floor, ceil, round, sign, abs at least. If the underlying language supports them then also log, exp, sqrt maybe max and min maybe rand and maybe even trig? Or do we just assume that if they are in js then they are here? --AJim 22:56, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

date/time datatype and functions
I think there will be a need for date/time operations and I think it would be a mistake not to have them well-defined, paricularly in light of how much pain they have caused me in the past. --AJim 22:55, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

short-circuit evaluation
I assume that logical evaluation (& |) short circuits, but it would be nice if the description said so. --AJim 22:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

escaping a for construct
Is there a way to terminate a for evaluation if the program discovers that it should not go on? --AJim 23:07, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
