30 * Base interface for content objects.
39 * @return string A string representing the content in a way useful for
40 * building a full text search index. If no useful representation exists,
41 * this method returns an empty string.
43 * @todo: test that this actually works
44 * @todo: make sure this also works with LuceneSearch / WikiSearch
46 public function getTextForSearchIndex();
51 * @return string|false The wikitext to include when another page includes this
52 * content, or false if the content is not includable in a wikitext page.
54 * @todo allow native handling, bypassing wikitext representation, like
55 * for includable special pages.
56 * @todo allow transclusion into other content models than Wikitext!
57 * @todo used in WikiPage and MessageCache to get message text. Not so
58 * nice. What should we use instead?!
60 public function getWikitextForTransclusion();
63 * Returns a textual representation of the content suitable for use in edit
64 * summaries and log messages.
68 * @param int $maxLength Maximum length of the summary text
69 * @return string The summary text
71 public function getTextForSummary( $maxLength = 250 );
74 * Returns native representation of the data. Interpretation depends on
75 * the data model used, as given by getDataModel().
79 * @return mixed The native representation of the content. Could be a
80 * string, a nested array structure, an object, a binary blob...
83 * @note Caller must be aware of content model!
85 public function getNativeData();
88 * Returns the content's nominal size in bogo-bytes.
92 public function getSize();
95 * Returns the ID of the content model used by this Content object.
96 * Corresponds to the CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants.
100 * @return String The model id
102 public function getModel();
105 * Convenience method that returns the ContentHandler singleton for handling
106 * the content model that this Content object uses.
108 * Shorthand for ContentHandler::getForContent( $this )
112 * @return ContentHandler
114 public function getContentHandler();
117 * Convenience method that returns the default serialization format for the
118 * content model that this Content object uses.
120 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->getDefaultFormat()
126 public function getDefaultFormat();
129 * Convenience method that returns the list of serialization formats
130 * supported for the content model that this Content object uses.
132 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->getSupportedFormats()
136 * @return Array of supported serialization formats
138 public function getSupportedFormats();
141 * Returns true if $format is a supported serialization format for this
142 * Content object, false if it isn't.
144 * Note that this should always return true if $format is null, because null
145 * stands for the default serialization.
147 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->isSupportedFormat( $format )
151 * @param string $format The format to check
152 * @return bool Whether the format is supported
154 public function isSupportedFormat( $format );
157 * Convenience method for serializing this Content object.
159 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->serializeContent( $this, $format )
163 * @param $format null|string The desired serialization format (or null for
164 * the default format).
165 * @return string Serialized form of this Content object
167 public function serialize( $format = null );
170 * Returns true if this Content object represents empty content.
174 * @return bool Whether this Content object is empty
176 public function isEmpty();
179 * Returns whether the content is valid. This is intended for local validity
180 * checks, not considering global consistency.
182 * Content needs to be valid before it can be saved.
184 * This default implementation always returns true.
190 public function isValid();
193 * Returns true if this Content objects is conceptually equivalent to the
194 * given Content object.
198 * - Will return false if $that is null.
199 * - Will return true if $that === $this.
200 * - Will return false if $that->getModel() != $this->getModel().
201 * - Will return false if $that->getNativeData() is not equal to $this->getNativeData(),
202 * where the meaning of "equal" depends on the actual data model.
204 * Implementations should be careful to make equals() transitive and reflexive:
206 * - $a->equals( $b ) <=> $b->equals( $a )
207 * - $a->equals( $b ) && $b->equals( $c ) ==> $a->equals( $c )

212 * @return bool True if this Content object is equal to $that, false otherwise.

222 * - get_class($original) === get_class($copy)
223 * - $original->getModel() === $copy->getModel()
224 * - $original->equals( $copy )
226 * If and only if the Content object is immutable, the copy() method can and
227 * should return $this. That is, $copy === $original may be true, but only
228 * for immutable content objects.
232 * @return Content. A copy of this object
234 public function copy();
237 * Returns true if this content is countable as a "real" wiki page, provided
238 * that it's also in a countable location (e.g. a current revision in the

244 * links, provide this information here, to avoid redundant parsing to
248 public function isCountable( $hasLinks = null );
251 * Parse the Content object and generate a ParserOutput from the result.
252 * $result->getText() can be used to obtain the generated HTML. If no HTML
253 * is needed, $generateHtml can be set to false; in that case,
254 * $result->getText() may return null.
256 * @param $title Title The page title to use as a context for rendering
257 * @param $revId null|int The revision being rendered (optional)
258 * @param $options null|ParserOptions Any parser options

274 * Content in some secondary data store. If the optional second argument,
275 * $old, is given, the updates may model only the changes that need to be
276 * made to replace information about the old content with information about

280 * $this->getParserOutput( $content, $title, null, null, false ),
281 * and then calls getSecondaryDataUpdates( $title, $recursive ) on the
282 * resulting ParserOutput object.
284 * Subclasses may implement this to determine the necessary updates more
285 * efficiently, or make use of information about the old content.
287 * @param $title Title The context for determining the necessary updates

331 * Construct the redirect destination from this content and return the

335 * target is hit in order to provide (hopefully) the Title of the final
336 * destination instead of another redirect.
338 * There is usually no need to override the default behavior, subclasses that
