Extension:Arrays/fr

L’extension Arrays (anciennement appelée ArrayExtension) crée un ensemble supplémentaire de parser functions qui fonctionnent sur arrays.

Fonctions
This extension defines the following parser functions:

arraydefine
Cette fonction construit un tableau (identifié par 'key') en utilisant une liste de 'values' séparée par 'delimiter'. La variable peut être accédée par d’autres fonctions plus tard.

Syntaxe:

Notes:
 * values is a list of strings separated by delimiter
 * The resulting array is an array of strings.
 * The default delimiter is ',' if not specified, a delimiter can be (i) a string (the white-spaces surrounding delimiter will be trimmed) or (ii) a Perl regular expression, e.g.  (see preg_split)
 * Users can define an empty array (see example)
 * Users can specify options including unique, sort, and print (see example).
 * Options are ignored unless a delimiter is also specified.

 Examples: 

arrayprint
This function prints the values of an array in customizable format.

 Syntax: 

 Notes: 
 * 'subject' accepts wiki links, templates and parser functions.
 * Within the 'subject, you don't have to escape pipe characters ' '! Within the whole construct, the pattern will be searched and replaced with the current (escaped) array value of each loop. Finally, the whole string will be parsed and put into an array of results which will be imploded with delimiter as separator.
 * In case the array which should be printed doesn't exist, an empty string will be returned. (Introduced in 1.4 alpha, part of compatibility mode)
 * The default delimiter is language dependent, for English it is ' '. (Introduced in 2.0, part of compatibility mode)

 Examples: 

arrayindex
This function prints the value of an array (identified by key) at position index.

 Syntax: 

 Notes: 
 * Invalid index (non-number, out of bound) will result in printing an empty string.
 * The index is 0-based, i.e. the first element's index is 0.
 * Negative indexes will return an element that far from the end (e.g.  would be the arrays last element).
 * default will be returned in case the array doesn't exist, the key doesn't exist within the array or if the value is an empty string.

Exemples:

arraysize
This function returns the size (number of elements) of an array. See: https://php.net/function.count

In case the given array doesn't exist the output of the function will be a void string instead of a number. This allows to check whether the array exists.

 Syntax: 

 Examples: 

arraysearch
This function returns the index of the first occurrence of the 'value' in the array (identified by 'key') starting from the position identified by 'index' parameter, and returns an empty string when failed. when yes and/or no specified, this will expand the value set to yes if found, value of no otherwise. See: https://php.net/function.array-search

 Syntax: 

 Examples: 

arraysearcharray
This function searches an array (identified by key) and creates a new array (identified by new_key) from the search with all the results. The search criteria value can be a string or a regular expression. If index is given the search will start there, limit can define the maximum search results. The parameter identified by transform can be used if value is a regular expression. It can transform the result of the matched entries into the new_key array like PHP preg_replace would do it.

 Syntax: 

 Notes: 
 * If value is a string the new_key array will only contain entries of exact this string.
 * Negative index values like  can be used to search the last n entries only.
 * If Extension:Regex Fun is available within the wiki, Regex Fun's e modifier can be used within the regex. This has nothing to do with PHPs e modifier (which would be a security breach). With active e modifier the transform string will be parsed after back-refs are inserted, after that it will replace the actual match.

 Examples: 

arrayslice
This function extracts a sub-array from an array (identified by 'key') into a new array (identified by 'new_key'). See: https://php.net/function.array-slice

 Syntax: 

 Notes: 
 * Offset indicates starting point of slice, it can be (i) non-negative number (ii) negative number for backwards index (e.g. the last element of the array's offset is -1). offset is different from index (which must be non-negative number)
 * Length indicates how many element to extract. If it is omitted, then the sequence will have everything from offset up until the end of the array.
 * If offset is no less than array size, empty array will be returned, if offset if no greater than negative array size, a new array with all elements will be returned

 Examples: 

Alteration
Functions which alter an array directly instead of creating a new array.

arrayunique
This function converts an array (identified by 'key') into a set (no duplicated members, no empty element). see: https://php.net/function.array-unique

 Syntax: 

 Example: 

arrayreset
This function will unset some or all defined arrays.

 Syntax: 

 Notes: 
 * Using arraysize on them will return an empty string instead of, so they are really unset, not empty. To simply empty an array one can use.
 * Prior to version 1.4 alpha ' ' is used to separate several arrays which should be unset.

arraysort
This function sorts an array in the following order. Syntax:
 * (default) - no sort
 * - in descending order (see: https://php.net/function.sort)
 * / - in ascending order (see:  https://php.net/function.rsort)
 * - in random order (see: https://php.net/function.array-rand)
 * - in reverse order (see: https://php.net/function.array-reverse)

 Note: 
 * Each array element is being treated as a string, this means numbers might not be ordered as expected.

 Examples: 

Interaction
Functions which work with more than one array, creating one new array or overwriting an existing one as result. Since version 2.0, these functions can interact with more than just two arrays at a time. In case they deal with only one array, they simply create a copy of that array. Any non-existant arrays will simply be ignored by these functions.

arraymerge
This function merges values of two or more arrays into a new array (identified by new_key). See: https://php.net/function.array-merge

 Syntax: 

 Examples: 

arrayunion
This function merges values of two or more arrays into a new array (identified by new_key) without duplicated values.

 Syntax: 

 Notes: 
 * This is a set operator, i.e., the returned array is a set without duplicated values.
 * This is equal to arraymerge with arrayunique afterwards.

 Example: 

arraydiff
This function computes the (set theoretic) difference of two or more arrays. The result array is identified by new_key. The returned array is a set that contains elements of the first given array (identified by key1) which are not defined within any of the other arrays. See: https://php.net/function.array-diff

Syntax:

 Note: 
 * This is a set operator, i.e. the returned array is a set without duplicated values.
 * This function can be used to test sub-class relation

 Examples: 

arrayintersect
This function computes the set theoretic intersection of two or more given arrays. The result array is identified by new_key. See: https://php.net/function.array-intersect

 Syntax: 

 Note: 
 * This is a set operator, i.e., the returned array is a set without duplicated values.

 Example: 

Configuration
Arrays 2.0 introduces two configuration variables:


 * $egArraysCompatibilityMode : ($egArrayExtensionCompatbilityMode in 1.4 alpha) Set to true, this will activate the compatibility mode which will bring back the behavior of the old ArrayExtension 1.3.2 as far as possible. This is because in Version 2.0 several breaking changes have been introduced. So using this compatibility mode allows a smooth switch from 1.x to 2.x Arrays extension. By default, compatibility mode is inactive. For a list which changes are effected by this, see /Pre_2.0_Documentation. If you have been using the old ArrayExtension within your wiki before, you might want to take a look at that list and adjust your templates before switching to Arrays without compatibility mode.


 * $egArraysExpansionEscapeTemplates : Contains a key-value pair list of characters that should be replaced by a template or parser function call within array values included into an . By replacing these special characters before including the values into the string which is being expanded afterwards, array values can't distract the surrounding MW code. Otherwise the array values themselves would be parsed as well. By default this will escape the following characters with the following template or parser function calls:
 * with  ("Template:=" should print ' ' )
 * with  ("Template:!" should print ' ' )
 * Starting with MW 1.24.0 it is no longer necessary to create "Template:!" since its purpose is served by the new  magic word.
 * with  ("Template:((" should print ' ' )
 * with  ("Template:))" should print ' ' )
 * Make sure these templates or parser functions exist within your wiki or change this variable accordingly. If this is not set up properly,  might print unexpected values in case on of these character sequences is being used within array values.
 * $egArraysExpansionEscapeTemplates also can simply be set to null, in this case it switches back to pre 2.0 behavior where array values with these character sequences did break the given subject code within . If the compatibility mode is active, this will always be treated as set to null.

Iteratively accessing array elements
It is possible to iteratively access elements of an array using or Extension:Loops.

Using arrayprint
below is the expected output:

for live examples, follow this URL.

Reusing keys
Once an array previously defined is printed, the same key can be reused for another array further down the page. As long as this sequence is observed, there is no need to define a unique key for every array.

Using Loops extension
For more complex tasks it is possible to loop through an array using the Loops extension.

This would output something like:
 * red
 * green
 * blue

Working with Extension:Semantic MediaWiki
There are two ways populating an array with semantic data. The first solution, using Semantic Result Formats is faster and more reliable, also works with complex data sets including record data and multiple values for one property.

Using Extension:Semantic Result Formats
Semantic Result Formats (SRF) introduces the Array format in version 1.6.1. It can be used to query data which will automatically be stored within an Extension:Arrays array. This is the preferred solution dealing with semantic data in arrays. Details can be found on the semantic-mediawiki.org.

 Example: 

Using a standard query
If you can't use the SRF solution above, Arrays also allows to populate an array using a SMW query result of the list format:

 Example A:  to create a list of instances of the class 'Color'

 Example B:  To create a unique list of values of property 'has color'

 Example C:  to deal with 2D array generated by SWM query (e.g. record-type property) given a 2D array "red;#da2021, yellow;#fcff00, green;#00ff00"

1. create an array 'colors'

2. split the first element of 'colors' into another array 'colors0'

Note(s):
 * semantic query parameters
 * option is used to exhaust all returned results of the semantic query
 * option is used to set the separator for entries of the results
 * option to cut off the page column

Working with Extension:DynamicPageList
In a similar way as described above for SMW the Arrays extension can be used to store results of a DPL query.

In the Example we show how a result list can be "inverted". We collect all parameter values which are used by certain pages when they include a given template. We store pairs of template parameter value and pagename. Then we sort the array and print the pairs. If consecutive array elements have the same first part (i.e. the parameter values are identical), the first part is only printed once. Thus we can construct a simple "inverted index". The same mechanism could be applied to other problems as well.
