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) .... WDYT?
