Detailed Description

An ICU collation that uses a remote server to compute sort keys.

This can be used in conjunction with $wgTempCategoryCollations to migrate to a different version of ICU.

The remote entry point.

Get sort keys for an encoded list of inputs.

Parameters
string$localeThe ICU locale
string$blobThe input array encoded with encode()
Returns
string The encoded result

◆ getFirstLetter()

RemoteIcuCollation::getFirstLetter ( $string)

Given a string, return the logical "first letter" to be used for grouping on category pages and so on.

This has to be coordinated carefully with convertToSortkey(), or else the sorted list might jump back and forth between the same "initial letters" or other pathological behavior. For instance, if you just return the first character, but "a" sorts the same as "A" based on getSortKey(), then you might get a list like

== A ==

  • [[Aardvark]]

== a ==

  • [[antelope]]

== A ==

  • [[Ape]]

etc., assuming for the sake of argument that $wgCapitalLinks is false.

Since
1.16.3
Parameters
string$stringUTF-8 string
Returns
string UTF-8 string corresponding to the first letter of input

◆ getSortKey()

RemoteIcuCollation::getSortKey ( $string)

Given a string, convert it to a (hopefully short) key that can be used for efficient sorting.

A binary sort according to the sortkeys corresponds to a logical sort of the corresponding strings. Current code expects that a line feed character should sort before all others, but has no other particular expectations (and that one can be changed if necessary).

Since
1.16.3
Parameters
string$stringUTF-8 string
Returns
string Binary sortkey

RemoteIcuCollation::getSortKeys ( $strings)

Get multiple sort keys.

Parameters

Returns
string[]
