Hi devs,
I'm still working on the Model Reference domain. We've brainstormed
with Thomas and we'd like to propose replacing the current
ModelContext.getCurrentDocumentName() by
ModelContext.getCurrentEntityReference() (which returns an
EntityReference).
The idea is that a URL could target a document but also a wiki only
(e.g the REST API odes that), or a given space only, or even an object
or a property. This would mean we would need to have
getCurrentDocumentReference() in addition to all the others:
getCurrentWikiReference(), getCurrentSpaceReference(). It would also
mean a lot of them would be set to null. Last it would mean different
ways to access the same information (e.g.
getCurrentDocumentReference.getWikiReference() vs
getCurrentWikiReference()).
We would also add a EntityReference.extractReference(EntityType type)
method in order to make it easy to extract information from the a
reference path.
For example to extract the Wiki from an entity reference:
WikiReference wikiRef =
context.getCurrentEntityReference(EntityType.WIKI);
if (wikiRef != null) ....
+1
May be we can avoid the enum type by using generics?
<T extends EntityReference> T getCurrentEntityReference();
Not sure if this is a good practice though.

WDYT?
