Detailed Description

This abstract class implements many basic API functions, and is the base of all API classes.

The class functions are divided into several areas of functionality:

Module parameters: Derived classes can define getAllowedParams() to specify which parameters to expect, how to parse and validate them.

Self-documentation: code to allow the API to document its own state

Stability: stable: to extend

◆ execute()

ApiBase::execute ( )

abstract

Evaluates the parameters, performs the requested query, and sets up the result.

Concrete implementations of ApiBase must override this method to provide whatever functionality their module offers. Implementations must not produce any output on their own and are not expected to handle any errors.

The execute() method will be invoked directly by ApiMain immediately before the result of the module is output. Aside from the constructor, implementations should assume that no other methods will be called externally on the module before the result is processed.

The result data should be stored in the ApiResult object available through getResult().

◆ extractRequestParams()

ApiBase::extractRequestParams ( $options = [] )

Using getAllowedParams(), this function makes an array of the values provided by the user, with key being the name of the variable, and value - validated value from user or default.

limits will not be parsed if $parseLimit is set to false; use this when the max limit is not definitive yet, e.g. when getting revisions.

Parameters

bool | array

$options

If a boolean, uses that as the value for 'parseLimit'

parseLimit: (bool, default true) Whether to parse the 'max' value for limit types
safeMode: (bool, default false) If true, avoid throwing for parameter validation errors. Returned parameter values might be ApiUsageException instances.

Returns: array

◆ filterIDs()

ApiBase::filterIDs	(		$fields,
		array	$ids )

protected

◆ getAllowedParams()

ApiBase::getAllowedParams ( )

protected

Returns an array of allowed parameters (parameter name) => (default value) or (parameter name) => (array with PARAM_* constants as keys) Don't call this function directly: use getFinalParams() to allow hooks to modify parameters as needed.

Some derived classes may choose to handle an integer $flags parameter in the overriding methods. Callers of this method can pass zero or more OR-ed flags like GET_VALUES_FOR_HELP.

◆ needsToken()

ApiBase::needsToken ( )

Returns the token type this module requires in order to execute.

Modules are strongly encouraged to use the core 'csrf' type unless they have specialized security needs. If the token type is not one of the core types, you must use the ApiQueryTokensRegisterTypes hook to register it.

Returning a non-falsey value here will force the addition of an appropriate 'token' parameter in self::getFinalParams(). Also, self::mustBePosted() must return true when tokens are used.

In previous versions of MediaWiki, true was a valid return value. Returning true will generate errors indicating that the API module needs updating.

◆ PARAM_TEMPLATE_VARS

const ApiBase::PARAM_TEMPLATE_VARS = 'param-template-vars'

(array) Indicate that this is a templated parameter, and specify replacements.

Keys are the placeholders in the parameter name and values are the names of (unprefixed) parameters from which the replacement values are taken.

For example, a parameter "foo-{ns}-{title}" could be defined with PARAM_TEMPLATE_VARS => [ 'ns' => 'namespaces', 'title' => 'titles' ]. Then a query for namespaces=0|1&titles=X|Y would support parameters foo-0-X, foo-0-Y, foo-1-X, and foo-1-Y.

All placeholders must be present in the parameter's name. Each target parameter must have PARAM_ISMULTI true. If a target is itself a templated parameter, its PARAM_TEMPLATE_VARS must be a subset of the referring parameter's, mapping the same placeholders to the same targets. A parameter cannot target itself.
