Bug ID: 58478
Summary: Better interface for MediaHandler's to add javascript
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified

OS: All

Currently MediaHandlers add JS using the method parserTransformHook, which one
could either directly add modules to the $parser object, or add an OuputHook,
to mess with $wgOut later on.
This is not that good an interface. Besides being rather indirect way to add
resource loader modules, its (almost) impossible to trigger this from a special
page where we call transform directly, and don't have a $parser object that is
parsing something.
I'm not sure what a better interface would be. My first thought would be that
responsibility for this should not be in MediaHandler, but instead be in the
MediaTransformObject. The mto could at least have a method getModules() which
special pages could call, or perhaps something like $mto->addModulesToOutput(
$this->getOutput() ); Still less then ideal since people will be bound to
forget to call it as most media types don't need js, but still would be much
better than current situation.
