Manual:Extension.json/Schema/ru

Эта страница документирует схему, используемую extension.json. Все поля являются необязательными, если не указано иное. В настоящее время неполная.

Для первой итерации этой схемы см. (MW 1.25+), для второй см. (MW 1.29+).

manifest_version
This field is required.

This specifies the version of the extension.json file format that is being used. In the future if breaking changes are made to the file format, this number will be incremented to continue supporting extensions using the older format.

Currently the following values are supported:
 * : 1.25+
 * : 1.29+

v2 provides stronger developer validation features, and is recommended if your extension already requires MediaWiki 1.29+. It is not recommended to break MediaWiki compatibility with older versions just to upgrade to a newer manifest_version.

Currently new features are added to both v1 and v2, but it has been proposed to freeze and soft deprecate v1 in the MediaWiki 1.38 release (discuss on Phabricator).

Example:

Note: This field is typically placed at the bottom of extension.json files.

name
This field is required.

This is the extension's canonical name. It should not be changed once set, as it is used as an API for other extensions to detect what is installed.

namemsg
A localized version of the extension's name. Typically the message key is named in the format &lt;name>-extensionname or &lt;name>-skinname.

type
The type of extension it is, for sorting on Special:Version. The following types are supported:
 * — API extensions
 * — antispam extensions
 * — extensions for editing content (since 1.31, )
 * — media handlers
 * — extensions that modify, add or replace functionality in the MediaWiki parser
 * — extensions that modify skins
 * — extensions that add special pages
 * — make a new variable
 * — does something else

Custom types can be added by using the hook. Known ones include: If not set, the extension will default to the "other" section, and if set to an invalid value the extension will not appear on Special:Version.
 * — Semantic MediaWiki extensions
 * — Wikibase extensions

author
Поле авторы расширения может содержать вики-текст. Это может быть как одна строка, так и массив строк. Кроме того, специальная строка  может использоваться для добавления общего окончания "" с использованием сообщения.

version
The current version of the extension. Should be in a format supported by Composer.

url
URL to the extension's "homepage" or documentation. Typically points to.

description
Description of the extension, may contain wikitext. Note: it is recommended to use descriptionmsg instead.

descriptionmsg
Localization message key for the extension's description, typically in the format &lt;extensionname>-desc. This will override description.

license-name
The SPDX license identifier for the license the source code is licensed as. If you create a file named  or   (with an optional   extension) in the extension root directory with the contents of the license, it will also be linked and visible from Special:Version.

requires
The requires section allows you to document dependencies on versions of MediaWiki core (1.26+) and other extensions (1.29+).

You can use any version specifier that composer supports. For MediaWiki, it is best practice to specify a >= for the minimum supported version, unless you know a future version is explicitly broken. For extensions, if they don't have a version specifier set, or don't use a versioning system, use a plain * to indicate any version is acceptable.

If your extension uses Wikimedia continuous integration, you also need to add extension dependencies to in the   project.

platform
You can also express a dependency on platform settings, currently limited to PHP version and PHP extensions. Note that most extensions are expected to follow the PHP version requirements for the versions of MediaWiki core they support, and specifying a more restrictive PHP version contraint should only be done in exceptional cases. Checking for PHP extension versions isn't supported right now.

In this example, the extension requires 1.32 (which has a minimum requirement of PHP 7.0), and additionally expresses that it needs a higher dependency of at least PHP 7.1 since it requires usage of some newer PHP feature. Furthermore, it required the curl PHP extension to be installed.

ResourceFileModulePaths
Specifies the default paths to use for all ResourceLoader file modules.

The allowed properties are:

These correspond to the same options in each module definition in. If a value is not specified in the module definition, the default value specified here will be used.

SkinLessImportPaths
Path to the skin-specific LESS import directory, keyed by skin name. Can be used to define skin-specific LESS variables.

QUnitTestModule
A ResourceLoaderFileModule definition registered only when is true. This follows the same syntax as ResourceModules. The module will be named  and can be used as a dependency by test modules of other extensions.

MessagePosterModule
Allows extensions to add additional files or dependencies to the  module bundle. This follows the same syntax as ResourceModules.

AuthManagerAutoConfig
The following properties are available:
 * : Pre-authentication providers.
 * : Primary authentication providers.
 * : Secondary authentication providers.

namespaces
Method to add extra namespaces.

The following properties are available:
 * : An integer. The numeric identifier of the namespace, as used in the database. Since MW 1.30, the namespace ID can be overwritten locally, by defining the respective constant in LocalSettings.php before loading the extension. Extension code must therefore always use the constant for the namespace ID, and never use the ID as a literal in PHP code.
 * : A string. The name of the constant that the extension code uses to refer to the namespace ID.
 * : A string. The name of the namespace, as used in titles.
 * : Gender object. Properties are either "male" or "female". See gender support.
 * : Boolean. Default is.
 * : Boolean. Default is.
 * : A string. See .
 * : Userright(s) required to edit in this namespace. An array or string.
 * : Set $wgCapitalLinks on a per-namespace basis. Boolean.
 * : Whether the namespace is conditional upon configuration and should not be registered (requires separate registration via a hook). Boolean. Default is.
 * : Whether it is possible to move pages in this namespace. Boolean. Default is.

MessagesDirs
If you use the default directory layout with localized messages in the  directory, you can specify:

AutoloadClasses
Example:

AutoloadNamespaces
Array containing mapping of namespaces to directories in a PSR-4 compatible manner. Here's an example:

In this case all of the PHP classes are under the  namespace, and the naming of the classes directly maps to the files located in the   directory (relative to the extension.json file). Note that the namespace portion must end with.

Extensions using this feature should require at least MediaWiki 1.31 in  file:

For example, see Gerrit change 468385.

TestAutoloadClasses and TestAutoloadNamespaces
Both are the same as AutoloadClasses and AutoloadNamespaces, except that they are only used when running tests.

For example, see Gerrit change 556240.

Hooks
It's possible to register multiple callbacks for the same hook event:

HookHandlers
ObjectFactory specifications for new-style hook handlers.

DeprecatedHooks
Deprecated hooks (see Stable interface policy). Maps hook name to an array with  (MediaWiki version) and   (optional, usually omitted).

RestRoutes
List of route specifications to be added to the REST API. See API:REST API/Extensions.

SkinOOUIThemes
Map of skin names to OOUI themes to use.

OOUIThemePaths
Map of custom OOUI theme names to paths to load them from.


 * scripts
 * Path to script file.


 * styles
 * Path to style files.  will be replaced with the module's name.


 * images
 * Path to images (optional, can be set to ).   will be replaced with the module's name.

callback
A function to be called right after MediaWiki processes this file.

config
The config section is where you can define configuration settings that sysadmins can change to configure the extension. This section should only be used for things that are configured in LocalSettings.php - if it is supposed to be modified by other extensions, you should use attributes, or if it is just class metadata, use a private static variable or something like that. The format of config changed in manifest_version 2, this documentation covers its usage in manifest_version 1.

A simple example:

This is equivalent to writing  in PHP. Note that the typical "wg" prefix is not included, as that will be added by default. If your settings start with a different prefix like, you can use the magic   key:

This is now equivalent to writing  in PHP.

A more complex example:

The first setting,, has keys that are numbers, so PHP will turn them into integers, even though they are strings in JSON. Because of how PHP treats integer keys when merging arrays, we need to use a different type of merge here, so we set a different "merge strategy" using the magic key. In the second example, we have a nested array, which requires a different type of merging, since we want to allow people to continue writing  in their LocalSettings.php.

Changes in manifest version 2
With MediaWiki 1.29, a new manifest_version (2) was introduced. In this version, the config section is improved in several ways. To support these changes, the signature of a set of configuration option and configuration value changed a bit. The key of the config object is still the configuration name, however, the value of that key is an object, which describes this configuration option, where one of the values is the value. You can find information about what the specific keys and values for a configuration option are on the extension registration documentation page. An easy example of the new schema, which simply is one configuration option and it's value, would look like:

A more complex one would look like:

Paths
As demonstrated in the example above, a configuration option can have the  key defined. When present and set to, the value of the setting will be interpreted as a path local to the extension. For example, an extension might define its configuration as The value for the configuration option "Setting" will be resolved to.

Merge strategies
The merge strategy defines how to merge the default value of the configuration setting with the global value (the value of the  global variable). This only makes sense for array-valued configuration settings. The following merge strategies are available: When not explicitly set, the merge strategy defaults to. When at least one of the global value and the default is not an array, the merge strategy is ignored and the global value will simply override the default.
 * : Uses the   PHP command: array elements with numeric keys will be interpreted as non-associative list items and concatenated to the array (with the keys renumbered if needed), array elements with non-numeric keys will be interpreted as hashmap items and overwrite items with the same key.
 * : Uses the  PHP operator, so fields of the default value will only be used when the corresponding field is not set in the global value. This is useful for associative arrays with integer keys (such as namespace IDs).
 * : Uses  to handles nested arrays to a depth of 2 properly (e.g. ).
 * : Handles arrays even deeper than 2 with . Given the unintuitive behavior of this method (example), this strategy is not recommended. A configuration setting that is more than 2 levels deep suggests too many things are being configured in one setting, and splitting it into multiple settings might be a good idea.
 * : Uses , basically the recursive version of  . Unlike  , this will handle non-array fields the way one would expect.
 * (since MW 1.35): no merging; the default will only be used when no global value is set.

config_prefix
Prefix to put in front of configuration settings when exporting them to $GLOBALS.

ParsoidModules
A list of Parsoid extension module specifiers. A Parsoid extension module is a class implementing ; a specifier is a class name or ObjectFactory specification or a Parsoid-specific module specification (TODO: document).

attributes
Registration information for other extensions. This allows one extension to register things with other extensions. Attributes must be PHP arrays, either a list (JSON array) or associative (JSON object)

In manifest_version 1 these were top level keys that could be arbitrarily named:

In manifest_version 2, these are now under the top level  key, and then nested under the extension name that the attribute belongs towards. The attribute name is still. If that extension (EventLogging in this example) is not installed, the attributes won't be loaded into the registry.

To access the value of an attribute in PHP, you can use the ExtensionRegistry:

load_composer_autoloader
Load the composer autoloader for this extension, if one is present. This should be used if the extension has dependencies on libraries that are specified in. It is basically equivalent to the following code:
