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|bool 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.
70 * @return string The summary text.
72 public function getTextForSummary( $maxLength = 250 );
75 * Returns native representation of the data. Interpretation depends on
76 * the data model used, as given by getDataModel().
80 * @return mixed The native representation of the content. Could be a
81 * string, a nested array structure, an object, a binary blob...
84 * @note Caller must be aware of content model!
86 public function getNativeData();
89 * Returns the content's nominal size in "bogo-bytes".
93 public function getSize();
96 * Returns the ID of the content model used by this Content object.
97 * Corresponds to the CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants.
101 * @return string The model id
103 public function getModel();
106 * Convenience method that returns the ContentHandler singleton for handling
107 * the content model that this Content object uses.
109 * Shorthand for ContentHandler::getForContent( $this )
113 * @return ContentHandler
115 public function getContentHandler();
118 * Convenience method that returns the default serialization format for the
119 * content model that this Content object uses.
121 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->getDefaultFormat()
127 public function getDefaultFormat();
130 * Convenience method that returns the list of serialization formats
131 * supported for the content model that this Content object uses.
133 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->getSupportedFormats()
137 * @return string[] List of supported serialization formats
139 public function getSupportedFormats();
142 * Returns true if $format is a supported serialization format for this
143 * Content object, false if it isn't.
145 * Note that this should always return true if $format is null, because null
146 * stands for the default serialization.
148 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->isSupportedFormat( $format )
152 * @param string $format The serialization format to check.
154 * @return bool Whether the format is supported
156 public function isSupportedFormat( $format );
159 * Convenience method for serializing this Content object.
161 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->serializeContent( $this, $format )
165 * @param string $format The desired serialization format, or null for the default format.
167 * @return string Serialized form of this Content object.
169 public function serialize( $format = null );
172 * Returns true if this Content object represents empty content.
176 * @return bool Whether this Content object is empty
178 public function isEmpty();
181 * Returns whether the content is valid. This is intended for local validity
182 * checks, not considering global consistency.
184 * Content needs to be valid before it can be saved.
186 * This default implementation always returns true.
192 public function isValid();
195 * Returns true if this Content objects is conceptually equivalent to the
196 * given Content object.
200 * - Will return false if $that is null.
201 * - Will return true if $that === $this.
202 * - Will return false if $that->getModel() != $this->getModel().
203 * - Will return false if $that->getNativeData() is not equal to $this->getNativeData(),
204 * where the meaning of "equal" depends on the actual data model.
206 * Implementations should be careful to make equals() transitive and reflexive:
208 * - $a->equals( $b ) <=> $b->equals( $a )
209 * - $a->equals( $b ) && $b->equals( $c ) ==> $a->equals( $c )
213 * @param Content $that The Content object to compare to.
215 * @return bool True if this Content object is equal to $that, false otherwise.
217 public function equals( Content
$that = null );
220 * Return a copy of this Content object. The following must be true for the
223 * if $copy = $original->copy()
225 * - get_class($original) === get_class($copy)
226 * - $original->getModel() === $copy->getModel()
227 * - $original->equals( $copy )
229 * If and only if the Content object is immutable, the copy() method can and
230 * should return $this. That is, $copy === $original may be true, but only
231 * for immutable content objects.
235 * @return Content A copy of this object
237 public function copy();
240 * Returns true if this content is countable as a "real" wiki page, provided
241 * that it's also in a countable location (e.g. a current revision in the
246 * @param bool $hasLinks If it is known whether this content contains
247 * links, provide this information here, to avoid redundant parsing to
252 public function isCountable( $hasLinks = null );
255 * Parse the Content object and generate a ParserOutput from the result.
256 * $result->getText() can be used to obtain the generated HTML. If no HTML
257 * is needed, $generateHtml can be set to false; in that case,
258 * $result->getText() may return null.
260 * @note To control which options are used in the cache key for the
261 * generated parser output, implementations of this method
262 * may call ParserOutput::recordOption() on the output object.
264 * @param Title $title The page title to use as a context for rendering.
265 * @param int $revId Optional revision ID being rendered.
266 * @param ParserOptions $options Any parser options.
267 * @param bool $generateHtml Whether to generate HTML (default: true). If false,
268 * the result of calling getText() on the ParserOutput object returned by
269 * this method is undefined.

282 * Content in some secondary data store. If the optional second argument,
283 * $old, is given, the updates may model only the changes that need to be
284 * made to replace information about the old content with information about
287 * This default implementation calls
288 * $this->getParserOutput( $content, $title, null, null, false ),
289 * and then calls getSecondaryDataUpdates( $title, $recursive ) on the
290 * resulting ParserOutput object.
292 * Subclasses may implement this to determine the necessary updates more
293 * efficiently, or make use of information about the old content.
295 * @param Title $title The context for determining the necessary updates
296 * @param Content $old An optional Content object representing the
297 * previous content, i.e. the content being replaced by this Content

316 * have been resolved (up to $wgMaxRedirects times).

322 public function getRedirectChain();
325 * Construct the redirect destination from this content and return a Title,
326 * or null if this content doesn't represent a redirect.

328 * the redirect table and other checks that don't need full recursion.

334 public function getRedirectTarget();
337 * Construct the redirect destination from this content and return the
338 * Title, or null if this content doesn't represent a redirect.
340 * This will recurse down $wgMaxRedirects times or until a non-redirect
341 * target is hit in order to provide (hopefully) the Title of the final
342 * destination instead of another redirect.
344 * There is usually no need to override the default behavior, subclasses that
345 * want to implement redirects should override getRedirectTarget().
