Detailed Description

A content handler knows how do deal with a specific type of content on a wiki page.

Content is stored in the database in a serialized form (using a serialization format a.k.a. MIME type) and is unserialized into its native PHP representation (the content model), which is wrapped in an instance of the appropriate subclass of Content.

ContentHandler instances are stateless singletons that serve, among other things, as a factory for Content objects. Generally, there is one subclass of ContentHandler and one subclass of Content for every type of content model.

Some content types have a flat model, that is, their native representation is the same as their serialized form. Examples would be JavaScript and CSS code. As of now, this also applies to wikitext (MediaWiki's default content type), but wikitext content may be represented by a DOM or AST structure in the future.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::__construct	(		$modelId,
			$formats )

Constructor, initializing the ContentHandler instance with its model ID and a list of supported formats.

Values for the parameters are typically provided as literals by subclass's constructors.

Stability: stable: to call

Parameters

string	$modelId	(use CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants).
string[]	$formats	List for supported serialization formats (typically as MIME types)

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Content\FallbackContentHandler, and MediaWiki\Content\TextContentHandler.

Definition at line 339 of file ContentHandler.php.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addSearchField()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::addSearchField	(	&	$fields,
		SearchEngine	$engine,
			$name,
			$type )

protected

Add new field definition to array.

Parameters

SearchIndexField[]	&$fields
SearchEngine	$engine
string	$name
string	$type

Returns: SearchIndexField[] new field defs

Since: 1.28

Definition at line 1363 of file ContentHandler.php.

References SearchEngine\makeSearchFieldMapping().

◆ canBeUsedOn()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::canBeUsedOn ( Title $title )

Determines whether the content type handled by this ContentHandler can be used for the main slot of the given page.

This default implementation always returns true. Subclasses may override this to restrict the use of this content model to specific locations, typically based on the namespace or some other aspect of the title, such as a special suffix (e.g. ".svg" for SVG content).

Note: this calls the ContentHandlerCanBeUsedOn hook which may be used to override which content model can be used where.

Stability: stable: to override

See also: SlotRoleHandler::isAllowedModel

Parameters

Title $title The page's title.

Returns: bool True if content of this kind can be used on the given page, false otherwise.

Definition at line 806 of file ContentHandler.php.

◆ checkFormat()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::checkFormat ( $format )

protected

Convenient for checking whether a format provided as a parameter is actually supported.

Parameters

string $format The serialization format to check

Exceptions

MWException If the format is not supported by this content handler.

◆ checkModelID()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::checkModelID ( $model_id )

protected

Since: 1.21

Parameters

string $model_id The model to check

Exceptions

MWException If the model ID is not the ID of the content model supported by this ContentHandler.

◆ createDifferenceEngine()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::createDifferenceEngine	(	IContextSource	$context,
			$old = 0,
			$new = 0,
			$rcid = 0,
			$refreshCache = false,
			$unhide = false )

Factory for creating an appropriate DifferenceEngine for this content model.

Since 1.32, this is only used for page-level diffs; to diff two content objects, use getSlotDiffRenderer.

The DifferenceEngine subclass to use is selected in getDiffEngineClass(). The GetDifferenceEngine hook will receive the DifferenceEngine object and can replace or wrap it. (Note that in older versions of MediaWiki the hook documentation instructed extensions to return false from the hook; you should not rely on always being able to decorate the DifferenceEngine instance from the hook. If the owner of the content type wants to decorate the instance, overriding this method is a safer approach.)

Todo: This is page-level functionality so it should not belong to ContentHandler. Move it to a better place once one exists (e.g. PageTypeHandler).

Since: 1.21

Parameters

IContextSource	$context	Context to use, anything else will be ignored.
int	$old	Revision ID we want to show and diff with.
int \| string	$new	Either a revision ID or one of the strings 'cur', 'prev' or 'next'.
int	$rcid	FIXME: Deprecated, no longer used. Defaults to 0.
bool	$refreshCache	If set, refreshes the diff cache. Defaults to false.
bool	$unhide	If set, allow viewing deleted revs. Defaults to false.

Returns: DifferenceEngine

◆ createTextSlotDiffRenderer()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::createTextSlotDiffRenderer ( array $options = [] )

finalprotected

Create a TextSlotDiffRenderer and inject dependencies.

Since: 1.41

Parameters

array $options See getSlotDiffRenderer()

Returns: TextSlotDiffRenderer

◆ exportTransform()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::exportTransform	(		$blob,
			$format = null )

Applies transformations on export (returns the blob unchanged by default).

Subclasses may override this to perform transformations such as conversion of legacy formats or filtering of internal meta-data.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

string	$blob	The blob to be exported
string \| null	$format	The blob's serialization format

Returns: string

◆ fillParserOutput()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::fillParserOutput	(	Content	$content,
		ContentParseParams	$cpoParams,
		ParserOutput &	$output )

protected

Fills the provided ParserOutput with information derived from the content.

Unless $cpoParams->getGenerateHtml() was false, this includes an HTML representation of the content.

If $cpoParams->getGenerateHtml() is false, and you chose not to generate html, the ParserOutput must have a text of null. If the text of the ParserOutput object is anything other than null (even if ''), it is assumed that you don't support not generating html, and that it is safe to reuse the parser output for calls expecting that html was generated.

Subclasses are expected to override this method.

This placeholder implementation always throws an exception.

Stability: stable: to override

Since: 1.38

Parameters

Content	$content
ContentParseParams	$cpoParams
ParserOutput	&$output	The output object to fill (reference). Most implementations should modify the output object passed in here; if you choose to replace it with a fresh object instead, make sure you call `ParserOutput::resetParseStartTime()` on it.

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Content\CssContentHandler, MediaWiki\Content\FallbackContentHandler, MediaWiki\Content\JavaScriptContentHandler, MediaWiki\Content\TextContentHandler, MediaWiki\Content\JsonContentHandler, and MediaWiki\Content\WikitextContentHandler.

◆ getContentText()

static MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getContentText ( Content $content = null )

static

Convenience function for getting flat text from a Content object.

This should only be used in the context of backwards compatibility with code that is not yet able to handle Content objects!

If $content is null, this method returns the empty string.

If $content is an instance of TextContent, this method returns the flat text as returned by $content->getText().

If $content is not a TextContent object, this method returns null.

Since: 1.21

Deprecated: since 1.37, use Content::getText() for TextContent instances instead. Hard deprecated since 1.43.

Parameters

Content | null $content

Returns: string|null Textual form of the content, if available.

◆ getDataForSearchIndex()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getDataForSearchIndex	(	WikiPage	$page,
		ParserOutput	$output,
		SearchEngine	$engine,
		RevisionRecord	$revision = null )

Return fields to be indexed by search engine as representation of this document.

Overriding class should call parent function or take care of calling the SearchDataForIndex hook.

The $output must be the result of a call to getParserOutputForIndexing() on the same content handler. That method may return ParserOutput without HTML; this base implementation does not rely on the HTML being present, so it is safe to call even by subclasses that override getParserOutputForIndexing() to skip HTML generation. On the other hand, since the default implementation of getParserOutputForIndexing() does generate HTML, subclasses are free to rely on the HTML here if they do not override getParserOutputForIndexing().

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

WikiPage	$page	Page to index
ParserOutput	$output
SearchEngine	$engine	Search engine for which we are indexing
RevisionRecord \| null	$revision	Revision content to fetch if provided or use the latest revision from WikiPage::getRevisionRecord() if not

Returns: array Map of name=>value for fields, an empty array is returned if the latest revision cannot be retrieved.

Since: 1.28

Definition at line 1394 of file ContentHandler.php.

◆ getDefaultFormat()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getDefaultFormat ( )

The format used for serialization/deserialization by default by this ContentHandler.

This default implementation will return the first element of the array of formats that was passed to the constructor.

Stability: stable: to override

Since: 1.21

Returns: string The name of the default serialization format as a MIME type

Definition at line 491 of file ContentHandler.php.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Content\TextContentHandler\merge3().

◆ getDefaultModelFor()

static MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getDefaultModelFor ( Title $title )

static

Returns the name of the default content model to be used for the page with the given title.

Note: There should rarely be need to call this method directly. To determine the actual content model for a given page, use Title::getContentModel().

Which model is to be used by default for the page is determined based on several factors:

The global setting $wgNamespaceContentModels specifies a content model per namespace.
The hook ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor may be used to override the page's default model.
Pages in NS_MEDIAWIKI and NS_USER default to the CSS or JavaScript model if they end in .js or .css, respectively.
Pages in NS_MEDIAWIKI default to the wikitext model otherwise.
The hook TitleIsCssOrJsPage may be used to force a page to use the CSS or JavaScript model. This is a compatibility feature. The ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook should be used instead if possible.
The hook TitleIsWikitextPage may be used to force a page to use the wikitext model. This is a compatibility feature. The ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook should be used instead if possible.

If none of the above applies, the wikitext model is used.

Since: 1.21

Deprecated: since 1.33, use SlotRoleHandler::getDefaultModel() together with SlotRoleRegistry::getRoleHandler(). Hard deprecated since 1.43.

Parameters

Title $title

Returns: string Default model name for the page given by $title

Definition at line 201 of file ContentHandler.php.

References MediaWiki\MediaWikiServices\getInstance(), and wfDeprecated().

◆ getDeletionUpdates()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getDeletionUpdates	(	Title	$title,
			$role )

Returns a list of DeferrableUpdate objects for removing information about content in some secondary data store.

This is used when a page is deleted, and also when a slot is removed from a page.

Application logic should not call this method directly. Instead, it should call WikiPage::getSecondaryDataUpdates().

Note: Implementations must not return a LinksDeletionUpdate instance. Instead, a LinksDeletionUpdate is created by the calling code in WikiPage. This is in contrast to the old getDeletionUpdates method defined by AbstractContent, which returned a LinksUpdate.; Implementations should not rely on the page's current content, but rather the current state of the secondary data store.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

Title	$title	The title of the page to supply the updates for
string	$role	The role (slot) in which the content is being used. Which updates are performed should generally not depend on the role the content has, but the DeferrableUpdates themselves may need to know the role, to track to which slot the data refers, and to avoid overwriting data of the same kind from another slot.

Returns: DeferrableUpdate[] A list of DeferrableUpdate objects for putting information about this content object somewhere. The default implementation returns an empty array.

Since: 1.32

◆ getForContent()

static MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getForContent ( Content $content )

static

Returns the appropriate ContentHandler singleton for the given Content object.

Deprecated: since 1.35, instead use ContentHandlerFactory::getContentHandler( $content->getModel() ). Hard deprecated since 1.43.

◆ getForModelID()

static MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getForModelID ( $modelId )

static

Returns the ContentHandler singleton for the given model ID.

Use the CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants to identify the desired content model.

ContentHandler singletons are taken from the global $wgContentHandlers array. Keys in that array are model names, the values are either ContentHandler singleton objects, or strings specifying the appropriate subclass of ContentHandler.

If a class name is encountered when looking up the singleton for a given model name, the class is instantiated and the class name is replaced by the resulting singleton in $wgContentHandlers.

If no ContentHandler is defined for the desired $modelId, the ContentHandler may be provided by the ContentHandlerForModelID hook. If no ContentHandler can be determined, an MWUnknownContentModelException is raised.

Since: 1.21

Deprecated: since 1.35, use ContentHandlerFactory::getContentHandler Hard deprecated since 1.43.

See also: ContentHandlerFactory::getContentHandler()

Parameters

string $modelId The ID of the content model for which to get a handler. Use CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants.

Exceptions

MWUnknownContentModelException If no handler is known for the model ID.

Returns: ContentHandler The ContentHandler singleton for handling the model given by the ID.

◆ getLocalizedName()

static MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getLocalizedName	(		$name,
		Language	$lang = null )

static

Returns the localized name for a given content model.

Model names are localized using system messages. Message keys have the form content-model-$name, where $name is getContentModelName( $id ).

Parameters

string	$name	The content model ID, as given by a CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constant or returned by Content::getModel() or SlotRecord::getModel().

◆ getPageLanguage()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getPageLanguage	(	Title	$title,
		Content	$content = null )

Get the language in which the content of the given page is written.

This default implementation just returns the content language (except for pages in the MediaWiki namespace)

Note that the page's language is not cacheable, since it may in some cases depend on user settings.

Also note that the page language may or may not depend on the actual content of the page, that is, this method may load the content in order to determine the language.

Stability: stable: to override

Since: 1.21

Parameters

Title	$title	The page to determine the language for.
Content \| null	$content	The page's content, if you have it handy, to avoid reloading it.

◆ getPageViewLanguage()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getPageViewLanguage	(	Title	$title,
		Content	$content = null )

Get the language in which the content of this page is written when viewed by user.

Defaults to $this->getPageLanguage(), but if the user specified a preferred variant, the variant will be used.

This default implementation just returns $this->getPageLanguage( $title, $content ) unless the user specified a preferred variant.

Note that the pages view language is not cacheable, since it depends on user settings.

Also note that the page language may or may not depend on the actual content of the page, that is, this method may load the content in order to determine the language.

Stability: stable: to override

Deprecated: since 1.42 Use ParserOutput::getLanguage instead. See also OutputPage::getContLangForJS.

Since: 1.21

Parameters

Title	$title	The page to determine the language for.
Content \| null	$content	The page's content, if you have it handy, to avoid reloading it.

Returns: Language The page's language for viewing

◆ getParserOutput()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getParserOutput	(	Content	$content,
		ContentParseParams	$cpoParams )

Returns a ParserOutput object containing information derived from this content.

Most importantly, unless $cpoParams->getGenerateHtml was false, the return value contains an HTML representation of the content.

Subclasses that want to control the parser output may override fillParserOutput() instead.

Since: 1.38

Parameters

Content	$content
ContentParseParams	$cpoParams

Returns: ParserOutput Containing information derived from this content.

Definition at line 1661 of file ContentHandler.php.

References MediaWiki\Content\Renderer\ContentParseParams\getGenerateHtml(), MediaWiki\Content\Renderer\ContentParseParams\getPage(), MediaWiki\Content\Renderer\ContentParseParams\getParserOptions(), MediaWiki\Content\Content\getRedirectTarget(), and MediaWiki\Content\Renderer\ContentParseParams\getRevId().

◆ getParserOutputForIndexing()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getParserOutputForIndexing	(	WikiPage	$page,
		ParserCache	$cache = null,
		RevisionRecord	$revision = null )

Produce page output suitable for indexing.

Typically used with getDataForSearchIndex().

Specific content handlers may override it if they need different content handling.

The default implementation returns output with HTML, but callers should not rely on this, and subclasses may override this method and skip HTML generation if it is not needed for indexing. (In that case, they should not attempt to store the output in the $cache.)

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

WikiPage	$page
ParserCache \| null	$cache	deprecated since 1.38 and won't have any effect
RevisionRecord \| null	$revision

Returns: ParserOutput|null null when the ParserOutput cannot be obtained

See also: ParserOutputAccess::getParserOutput() for failure modes

◆ getSecondaryDataUpdates()

MediaWiki\Content\ContentHandler::getSecondaryDataUpdates	(	Title	$title,
		Content	$content,
			$role,
		SlotRenderingProvider	$slotOutput )

Returns a list of DeferrableUpdate objects for recording information about the given Content in some secondary data store.

Application logic should not call this method directly. Instead, it should call DerivedPageDataUpdater::getSecondaryDataUpdates().

Note: Implementations must not return a LinksUpdate instance. Instead, a LinksUpdate is created by the calling code in DerivedPageDataUpdater, on the combined ParserOutput of all slots, not for each slot individually. This is in contrast to the old getSecondaryDataUpdates method defined by AbstractContent, which returned a LinksUpdate.; Implementations should not call $content->getParserOutput, they should call $slotOutput->getSlotRendering( $role, false ) instead if they need to access a ParserOutput of $content. This allows existing ParserOutput objects to be re-used, while avoiding creating a ParserOutput when none is needed.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

Title	$title	The title of the page to supply the updates for
Content	$content	The content to generate data updates for.
string	$role	The role (slot) in which the content is being used. Which updates are performed should generally not depend on the role the content has, but the DeferrableUpdates themselves may need to know the role, to track to which slot the data refers, and to avoid overwriting data of the same kind from another slot.
SlotRenderingProvider	$slotOutput	A provider that can be used to gain access to a ParserOutput of $content by calling $slotOutput->getSlotParserOutput( $role, false ).

Returns: DeferrableUpdate[] A list of DeferrableUpdate objects for putting information about this content object somewhere. The default implementation returns an empty array.

Since: 1.32
