Hi devs,
In the past we use to pass the wiki, space and page as 3 variables to JS code. For example
in dashboard.js we currently have:
this.sourcePage = this.element.down('.metadata .sourcepage').innerHTML;
this.sourceSpace = this.element.down('.metadata .sourcespace').innerHTML;
this.sourceWiki = this.element.down('.metadata .sourcewiki').innerHTML;
Now that we need to handle Nested Spaces, it’s more complex and I’m proposing to change
our best practice and instead to pass a full reference, as in:
this.sourceReference = XWiki.Model.resolve(this.element.down('.metadata
.source').innerHTML, XWiki.EntityType.DOCUMENT);
More generally the idea would be to do the same as we do in Java code, i.e. to start
stopping passing several parameters to functions and instead to use XWiki.EntityReference
(or XWiki.DocumentReference, etc).
For example for dashboard.js this allows to replace:
var link = new Element('a', {'href' : this.sourceURL});
link.update(this.sourceWiki + ':' + this.sourceSpace + '.' +
this.sourcePage);
With:
var link = new Element('a', {'href' : this.sourceURL});
link.update(XWiki.Model.serialize(this.sourceReference));
WDYT?
Thanks

Another option could be to pass a JSON serialization of the reference.
Thomas has recently fixed some issues that were preventing JSON
serialization of an entity reference. It should work fine now:
$jsontool.serialize($documentReference)
should produce something close to:
{
name: 'Page',
type: 'DOCUMENT',
parent: {
name: 'Space2',
type: 'SPACE',
parent: {
...
}
}
}
It's more verbose obviously. For this we need to modify a bit
entityReference.js though, because it expects the entity type to be an
int.
Thanks,

Indeed there are only 2 global solutions:

This also means that the java code may need to do a serialize. So this has the drawback of
doing a serialize + resolve. It has the advantage of being a one-liner from JS.
* Solution 2: Pass the individual elements of a reference so that the JS doesn’t have to
call resolve. This can be done in several ways:
option 1:
<div class=“metadata”>
<div class=“sourcewiki”>wiki</div>
<div class=“sourcepage”>page</div>
<div class=“sourcespaces”>
<div>space1</div>
<div>space2</div>
</div>
</div>
option 2:
The JSON you suggest above. However, how would the java code pass this into HTML? Inside a
tag’s text, as in:
<div class=“metadata”>
… json here?...
</div>
Inside a <script> tag directly?
Note that option2 has a big advantage over option 1: JS knows JSON natively and thus
there’s no need to implement any parsing at the JS level.
Compared to Solution 1, the advantage would to avoid a resolve() call on the JS side. On
the java side we’ll still need the serialize() call (which will possibly take slightly
longer than the string serialization).
Overall Solution 2/option2 could be a better solution indeed.
What do others think?

Direct EntityReference -> JSON serialisation would provide a strong
standard (we already have tool to make sure we never break
EntityReference) and it would make JS and Java sides more consistent.
Now In some cases we will still need to support parsing a String
reference in JS I think.

I agree with Thomas that it would be best to use EntityReference -> JSON as
much as possible (when passing the reference from velocity to javascript,
server-side), however, man times when you need a reference you also end up
building a new reference (on the client-side, i.e. javascript) so we can`t
really avoid having a strong javascript EntityReference API +
serializer/resolver.
Also, making a HTTP request from JS to resolve a string reference on the
server (and getting a JSON result) is not really an option IMO (specially
if you do that a lot).
So +1 to using reference in javascript code.

I don't really understand the solution 2.
We already have an EntityReference class in entityReference.js, with a
string serializer and a string parser.
If we use a JSON format to describe a reference, we will still have to
parse it to create an EntityReference object, and this parser does not
exist yet.
So what is the benefit?
I only see drawbacks:
- A JSON reference is a lot more verbose.
- From the java side, we need to serialize the reference to a JSON
representation which is probably more costly than serializing to a string.
- We use string representations in a lot of places, and suddenly we should
use JSON but only when we do JavaScript...
So +1 for the solution 1.
In any case, it seems a good idea to use references in JS code.

Guillaume

A bit late to the game but can't we pass a cannonicalized absolute string to the JS ?
eg: wiki:space.sp\.ace.sp\\ace.page
and then just warn the js devs that they should use functions to manipulate the
string representation instead of hacking it manually ?
That's what nodejs does for URLs and I will say without reservation that the
user-friendlyness of their their URL parsing API is not even compatible to the
disaster that was java.net.URL.

Ahh ok, +1 to explosing the absolute cannonical reference, however I will point out
that use of "this" in javascript is dangerous and should be avoided. It looks
like
you're attaching it to the global namespace (aka window) but "this" has
different
meanings depending on where you are in the code. Better XWiki.doc.reference or similar
IMO.

+1 for option 1. Guillaume makes a good point. Sounds more predictable and
easier to work with, since a string is easily placed in pretty much any
context compared to JSON, as Vincent also pointed out.
I don`t really mind the extra resolve step in JS.
I guess the JSON method could be used when actually returning JSON, like
some LiveTable resutls or some other JSON result page. It would be
convenient in that place to read the reference directly from its JSON
value, though I`m not sure that, in terms of performance, the difference
from resolving the string is very big. Plus, there is the difference in
mapping the types (string vs int) that Marius mentioned which might need
fixing.
So overall, I still think option 1 is safer, and option 2 could be nice to
have in some cases.
Thanks,
Eduard

I don't really understand the solution 2.
We already have an EntityReference class in entityReference.js, with a
string serializer and a string parser.
If we use a JSON format to describe a reference, we
will still have to
parse it to create an EntityReference object, and this parser does not
exist yet.
For the Javascript side there is a helper in entityReference.js to
create an EntityReference from its parsed JSON representation.
So what is the benefit?
I only see drawbacks:
- A JSON reference is a lot more verbose.
- From the java side, we need to serialize the reference to a JSON
representation which is probably more costly than serializing to a string.
- We use string representations in a lot of places, and suddenly we should
use JSON but only when we do JavaScript...
So +1 for the solution 1.
In any case, it seems a good idea to use references in JS code.
Thanks,
Guillaume
IMO we don't need to enforce one of the other, in some use cases it's
much more practical to send JSON representation and in we already have
String reference and it would be a pain to have to convert them to
JSON.

I agree with Thomas that it would be best to use
EntityReference -> JSON as
much as possible (when passing the reference from velocity to javascript,
server-side), however, man times when you need a reference you also end up
building a new reference (on the client-side, i.e. javascript) so we can`t
really avoid having a strong javascript EntityReference API +
serializer/resolver.
Also, making a HTTP request from JS to resolve a string reference on the
server (and getting a JSON result) is not really an option IMO (specially
if you do that a lot).
So +1 to using reference in javascript code.
Thanks,
Eduard
