Detailed Description

This is the main query class.

It behaves similar to ApiMain: based on the parameters given, it will create a list of titles to work on (an ApiPageSet object), instantiate and execute various property/list/meta modules, and assemble all resulting data into a single ApiResult object.

In generator mode, a generator will be executed first to populate a second ApiPageSet object, and that object will be used for all subsequent modules.

Member Function Documentation

◆ execute()

ApiQuery::execute ( )

Query execution happens in the following steps: #1 Create a PageSet object with any pages requested by the user #2 If using a generator, execute it to get a new ApiPageSet object #3 Instantiate all requested modules.

This way the PageSet object will know what shared data is required, and minimize DB calls. #4 Output all normalization and redirect resolution information #5 Execute all requested modules

  $modCacheMode 
)
protected

Update a cache mode string, applying the cache mode of a new module to it.
