MessagePosterFactory

Factory for MessagePoster objects. This provides a pluggable to way to script the action of adding a message to someone's talk page.

The constructor is not publicly accessible; use mw.messagePoster.factory instead.

Methods

create(title, apiUrl) → {jQuery.Promise} #

Create a MessagePoster for given a title.

A promise for this is returned. It works by determining the content model, then loading the corresponding module (which registers the MessagePoster class), and finally constructing an object for the given title.

This does not require the message and should be called as soon as possible, so that the API and ResourceLoader requests run in the background.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description
title mw.Title

Title that will be posted to
apiUrl string optional

api.php URL if the title is on another wiki
Source:

Returns:

Promise resolving to a mw.messagePoster.MessagePoster. For failure, rejected with up to three arguments:

  • errorCode Error code string
  • error Error explanation
  • details Further error details
Type
