Hello everyone.
Reading the boot.js code I found several helper functions to register new
file types. I'm talking about registerFileType function. But what if I just
want to register a new extension? registerFileType overrides the
contentType info with the information you provide to it, so it's not useful
to just register a new file extension. Is enough to just do :
$tw.config.fileExtensionInfo[extension] = {type: type}
Is that ok?
What if I want to create a new deserializer? I saw this done like this:
$tw.modules.define("$:/boot/tiddlerdeserializer/js","tiddlerdeserializer",{
"application/javascript": function(text,fields) {
Is that the correct way?
When is that related with tiddlerDeserializerModules ? I'm quite confused
here. The code of deserializeTiddlers looks up all the time on the
tiddlerDeserializerModules object. When are specific deserializers for
specific types used? I mean those that are registered by registerFileType.
I think this is done here but I'm not sure
if(!deserializer && $tw.config.contentTypeInfo[type]) {
// see if this type has a different deserializer registered with it
type = $tw.config.contentTypeInfo[type].deserializerType;
deserializer = $tw.Wiki.tiddlerDeserializerModules[type];
}
So what is registered on contenTypeInfo is just THE NAME of the
deserializer to use.
One last question: when are deserializers called? Let's say that I just
want to add specific prefix and suffix to the text field of certain file
types.. is a deserializer the correct way of doing this?
