Detailed Description

Backend class for blocking utils.

This service should contain any methods that are useful to more than one blocking-related class and don't fit any other service.

For now, this includes only

  • block target parsing
  • block target validation

  • parsing the target and type of a block in the database

    Deprecated
    since 1.44 use BlockTargetFactory
    Since

Member Function Documentation

◆ parseBlockTarget()

MediaWiki\Block\BlockUtils::parseBlockTarget ( $target)

From string specification or UserIdentity, get the block target and the type of target.

Note that, except for null, it is always safe to treat the target as a string; for UserIdentityValue objects this will return UserIdentityValue::__toString() which in turn gives UserIdentityValue::getName().

If the type is not null, it will be an AbstractBlock::TYPE_ constant.

Since 1.42, it is no longer safe to pass a value from the database field ipb_address/bt_address to this method, since the username is normalized. Use parseBlockTargetRow() instead. (T346683)

Parameters
string | UserIdentity | null$target
Returns
array [ UserIdentity|String|null, int|null ]

Definition at line 67 of file BlockUtils.php.

◆ parseBlockTargetRow()

MediaWiki\Block\BlockUtils::parseBlockTargetRow ( $row)

Since
1.42
Parameters
\\stdClass$row
Returns
array [ UserIdentity|String|null, int|null ]

Definition at line 84 of file BlockUtils.php.
