Module:Clickable button
More actions
Generates wikitext for clickable Codex button. Renders the button component from the Codex design system for Wikimedia. Includes helper functions for URL parsing and cleaning, adding tracking categories. Intended for use in templates and other modules. Implements Template:Clickable button and others. Supports legacy parameters.
- Options to include an icon or create an icon-only button.
- Target a URL or a wikilink
- Set the weight, size and state of the button (enabled or disabled).
- Dummy button creation can be disabled.
For more information on appropriate usage of UI buttons, see the Codex documentation.
- Inserts two CSS files. Module:Clickable button/styles.css is required and makes minor tweaks for word-wrapping if the visible label is too long, centering or aligning button left or right, and minimum widths as is needed for icon-only buttons and labels containing two characters or less.
- The second CSS file, Module:Clickable button/icons.css, is prepended to the button's HTML only if an icon is used.
- Supports legacy parameters from previous templates.
Usage in wikitext
Some arguments are case-insensitive.
{{#invoke:Clickable button|main
| 1 = <!-- Alias for wikilink -->
| 2 = <!-- Alias for label -->
| label = <!-- Button visible text label -->
| link = <!-- Target wikilink -->
| url = <!-- Target external URL -->
<!-- Inputs action, weight, size, and icon are case-insensitive -->
| action = <!-- progressive | destructive | default: default. -->
| weight = <!-- primary | quiet | default: normal. -->
| size = <!-- small | large | default: medium. Automatically chooses size based on line-height and device. -->
| icon = <!-- Name of icon, stored in [[Module:Clickable button/icons.css]] e.g., search -->
| disabled = <!-- `true` or any other true value like `1` or `yes`. -->
| aria-label = <!-- [[w:ARIA]] label for accessibility DOM tree. -->
| nocat = <!-- `true` to not auto-categorize. -->
<!-- Others -->
| category = <!-- Category name e.g., Category:Name or Name or [[Category:Name]] -->
| class = <!-- Custom CSS class without quotation marks -->
| style = <!-- Custom CSS styling without quotation marks -->
<!-- Legacy arguments -->
| color = <!-- blue | red -->
}}
Usage in other modules
Ensure you know what to expect from the function you call from another module.
function p.main(frame)emits TemplateStyles for the CSS files with the wikitext, and pre-processes the arguments in aframeusing Module:Arguments, e.g. ignore blank values'', and trim trailing whitespace.function p._main(arguments)Parses the arguments such as lowercase appropriate arguments, account for use of legacy parameters and decides whetheraria-disabledshould betrue.function p.url(url, [label])is available, not for button creation, but as an adaption of Module:URL to clean and normalise a URL string and optionally generate a label.- The module's other functions, such as
makeLinkData()andrenderLink(), are localised/local to the module and would need to be made global first to be accessible to other modules.
To call p.main() for example, use:
local createButton = require( 'Module:Clickable button/sandbox' )
buttonWikitext = createButton.main( {
link = 'South Africa',
label = 'Go to South Africa',
action = 'progressive'
weight = 'default',
size = 'medium',
icon = 'link-external',
} )
return buttonWikitext
and the value of buttonWikitext would be:
<<templatestyles src="Module:Cdx-button/styles.css" /><templatestyles src="Module:Cdx-button/icons.css" /><span class="cdx-button cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--action-progressive cdx-button--weight-quiet cdx-button--size-medium" role="button" aria-disabled="false"><span class="cdx-button__icon cdx-demo-css-icon--link-external" aria-hidden="true"></span>Go to South Africa</span>
Function _main would output:
<span class="cdx-button cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--action-progressive cdx-button--weight-quiet cdx-button--size-medium" role="button" aria-disabled="false"><span class="cdx-button__icon cdx-demo-css-icon--link-external" aria-hidden="true"></span>Go to South Africa</span>
As a result, unless a CSS file is added to give the appropriate class an icon, the icon will not render.
Implementation
Length of visible label
