jdlrobson f5f21a8d09 RESTBase url is configurable
Allow developers to use different endpoints for summaries
= developer happiness

This is useful for the following use cases:
* A developer wants to test against a production endpoint via
CORS
* A developer has setup an API where REST is hosted elsewhere
e.g. http://localhost:6927/en.wikipedia.org/v1/
* A user wants to create their own REST summary compatible
endpoint
* A wiki e.g. wikidata wants to use a different endpoint which is compatible
with the summary endpoint.

We are unlikely to use it ourselves on Wikimedia wikis (the
default should suffice) but this will be a powerful tool for

When not configured this will continue to work as per normal

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Popups for more information about
what it does.
## Development
Popups uses an asset bundler so when developing for the extension you'll need
to run a script to assemble the frontend assets.
You can find the frontend source files in `src/`, the compiled sources in
`resources/dist/`, and other frontend assets managed by resource loader in
`resources/*`.
After an `npm install`:
* On one terminal, kickstart the bundler process:
* `npm start` Will run the bundler in watch mode, re-assembling the files on
file change.
* `npm run build` Will compile the assets just once, ready for deployment. You
*must* run this step before sending the patch or CI will fail (so that
sources and built assets are in sync).
* On another terminal, run tests and linting tools:
* `npm test` To run the linting tools and the tests.
* You can find the QUnit tests that depend on running MediaWiki under
`tests/qunit/`
* You can find the isolated QUnit tests under `tests/node-qunit/`, which you
can run with `npm run test:node`
* We recommend you install a file watcher like `nodemon` to watch sources and
auto run linting and tests.
* `npm install -g nodemon`
* Example running linting and node unit tests:
* `nodemon -w src/ --exec "grunt lint:all && npm run test:node"`
* Get code coverage report with `npm run coverage`
* Reports printed in the `coverage/` folder
Developers are likely to work with local MediaWiki instances that do not have
content to test with. To reduce this pain, you can create a single page with
a list of links that point to an existing and external wiki by using the
following config flag:
$wgPopupsRestGatewayEndpoint = 'https://en.m.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/';
