Module:Unsigned: Difference between revisions

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module implements {{unsigned}}. It has a few functions:

• main called by {{unsigned}}; not intended for broader use
• getTimestamp find a timestamp from a string. If only a date is found, it returns the date. If only a time is found, it returns the empty string. If a time and a date are both found, it appends (UTC).
• getUsername gets the username from a string containing a timestamp. It currently assumes that everything besides a timestamp is part of the username.

The above documentation is transcluded from Module:Unsigned/doc. (edit | history)
Editors can experiment in this module's sandbox (edit | diff) and testcases (create) pages.

end

function p.getTimestamp(s)
	--gets the timestamp in the input
	--if nothing is found, returns the empty string
	--we search for time and date seperately to allow for a time-less addition of date

	--match() on a nil is a bad thing, so avoid that
	local sOrBlank = s or ''
	--find the date
	local theDate = mw.ustring.match( sOrBlank, '%d%d? %u%l+ %d%d%d%d', 0 ) or ''

		-- we have a date, so process and return accordingly
		local theTime = mw.ustring.match( sOrBlank, '%d%d:%d%d,', 0 ) or ''

	--this method assumes that *everything* besides the timestamp is, in fact, part of the username
