Hi,
When you have a parser function called from within a template, you can of
course pass in to it any template parameters, like:
{{#flagicon:{{{Flag image|}}} }}
(This is a silly example, but bear with me.) I would like to instead be
able to call the parser function without the parameter, like this:
{{#flagicon:}}
...and have the parser function directly get the value of the "Flag image"
parameter.
I believe this can be done within Lua: when a Lua module is invoked from a
template, it can get the names and values of the parameters/arguments that
have been passed to that template using (I believe) code that looks like
the following:
frame = mw.getCurrentFrame()
origArgs = frame:getParent().args
I tried to do something similar within a parser function's code, using
various calls like the following, but nothing worked:
$frame = $parser->getPreProcessor()->newFrame()->newChild();
$args = $frame->getArguments();
Can this be done? Ideally, it would be great to get an array of all the
arguments that have been passed to the template - but just being able to
get the value for a specified parameter name would be good enough.
