Programming Interfaces[edit]
- ResourceLoader
- A PHP class that handles generating request strings and serving modules.
- ResourceLoaderModule
Context[edit]
Web requests to load.php can specify values for these; ResourceLoader does so when it inserts load.php URLs in the HTML and JavaScript that it generates. PHP server code can retrieve their values through getDebug/Skin/Language() methods of ResourceLoaderContext. In the browser these usually map to debug, skin, and wgUserLanguage configuration values in mw.config.
- debug
- Also known as Development mode. See Debug mode for more information.
- skin
- The ID of the skin that the requesting page uses.
- lang
- The language code of the interface that the requesting page is displayed in.
