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()).
Note that another point was that we need to make sure the current space is consistent with the current wiki.
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) ....
WDYT?
