မဝ်ဂျူ:scripts

This module is used to retrieve and manage Wiktionary's various writing systems and the information associated with them. See Wiktionary:Scripts for more information.

The information itself is stored in Module:scripts/data. The data module should not be used directly by any other module, the data should only be accessed through the functions provided by Module:scripts.

For functions that allow templates to use this module, see Module:scripts/templates.

Finding and retrieving scripts

The module exports a number of functions that are used to find scripts.

getByCode

getByCode(code, paramForError)

Finds the script whose code matches the one provided. If it exists, it returns a Script object representing the script. Otherwise, it returns nil, unless paramForError is given, in which case an error is generated. If paramForError is true, a generic error message mentioning the bad code is generated; otherwise paramForError should be a string or number specifying the parameter that the code came from, and this parameter will be mentioned in the error message along with the bad code.

findBestScript

findBestScript(text, lang)

Given some text and a language object, this function iterates through the scripts of the given language and tries to find the script that best matches the text. It returns a Script object representing the script. If no match is found at all, it returns the None script object.

findBestScriptWithoutLang

findBestScriptWithoutLang(text)

Returns the code for the script that has the greatest number of characters in text. Useful for script tagging text that is unspecified for language. Uses Module:scripts/recognition data to determine a script code for a character language-agnostically.

Script objects

A Script object is returned from one of the functions above. It is a Lua representation of a script and the data associated with it. It has a number of methods that can be called on it, using the : syntax. For example:

local m_scripts = require("Module:scripts")
local sc = m_scripts.getByCode("Latn")
local name = sc:getCanonicalName()
-- "name" will now be "Latin"

Script:getCode

:getCode()

Returns the script code of the language. Example: "Cyrl" for Cyrillic.

Script:getCanonicalName

:getCanonicalName()

Returns the canonical name of the script. This is the name used to represent that script on Wiktionary. Example: "Cyrillic" for Cyrillic.

Script:getDisplayForm

:getDisplayForm()

Returns the display form of the script. For scripts, this is the same as the value returned by :getCategoryName, i.e. it reads "NAME script" (e.g. "Arabic script"). For regular and etymology languages, this is the same as the canonical name, and for families, it reads "NAME languages" (e.g. "Indo-Iranian languages"). The displayed text used in :makeCategoryLink is always the same as the display form.

Script:getParent

:getParent()

Returns the parent of the script. Example: "Latn" for "Latinx" and "Arab" for "fa-Arab". It returns "top" for scripts without a parent, like "Latn", "Grek", etc.

Script:getWikipediaArticle

:getWikipediaArticle()

Returns the wikipedia_article item in the language's data file, or else calls Script:getCategoryName().

Script:countCharacters

:countCharacters(text)

Returns the number of characters in the text that are part of this script.

Note: You should never rely on text consisting entirely of the same script. Strings may contain spaces, punctuation and even wiki markup or HTML tags. HTML tags will skew the counts, as they contain Latin-script characters. So it's best to avoid them.

Script:getCharacters

:getCharacters()

Returns the regex defining the script's characters from the language's data file.

This can be used to search for words consisting only of this script, but see the warning above.

Script:getCategoryName

:getCategoryName()

Returns the name of the main category of that script. Example: "Cyrillic script" for Cyrillic, whose category is at Category:Cyrillic script.

Script:getDirection

:getDirection()

Returns the text direction, if any. Currently, left-to-right scripts are unmarked, while most right-to-left scripts have direction specified as "rtl" and Mongolian as "down".

--[==[
Returns the code for the script that has the greatest number of characters in `text`. Useful for script tagging text
that is unspecified for language. Uses [[Module:scripts/recognition data]] to determine a script code for a character
language-agnostically. Specifically, it works as follows:
	
Convert each character to a codepoint. Iterate the counter for the script code if the codepoint is in the list
of individual characters, or if it is in one of the defined ranges in the 4096-character block that it belongs to.
	
Each script has a two-part counter, for primary and secondary matches. Primary matches are when the script is the
first one listed; otherwise, it's a secondary match. When comparing scripts, first the total of both are compared
(i.e. the overall number of matches). If these are the same, the number of primary and then secondary matches are
used as tiebreakers. For example, this is used to ensure that `Grek` takes priority over `Polyt` if no characters
which exclusively match `Polyt` are found, as `Grek` is a subset of `Polyt`.
	
If `none_is_last_resort_only` is specified, this will never return {"None"} if any characters in `text` belong to a
script. Otherwise, it will return {"None"} if there are more characters that don't belong to a script than belong to
any individual script. (FIXME: This behavior is probably wrong, and `none_is_last_resort_only` should probably
become the default.)
