other tokens. This is only the first half of the conversion. The next step is
to drop the type attribute on most tokens and match on the constructor in the
token transform machinery.
* TokenTransformDispatcher is now renamed to TokenTransformManager, and is
also turned into a base class
* SyncTokenTransformManager and AsyncTokenTransformManager subclass
TokenTransformManager and implement synchronous (phase 1,3) and asynchronous
(phase 2) transformation stages.
* Communication between stages uses the same chunk / end events as all the
other token stages.
* The AsyncTokenTransformManager now supports the creation of nested
AsyncTokenTransformManagers for template expansion.
The AsyncTokenTransformManager object takes on the responsibilities of a
preprocessor frame. Transforms are newly created (or potentially resurrected
from a cache), so that transforms do not have to worry about concurrency.
* The environment is pushed through to all transform managers and the
individual transforms.
are now merged with specific registrations by rank. Not yet clear if that is a
good idea overall, need to check use cases when implementing template expansion
and other functionality.
183 parser test now passing.
The TokenTransformDispatcher now actually implements an asynchronous, phased
token transformation framework as described in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Future/Parser_development/Token_stream_transformations.
Additionally, the parser pipeline is now mostly held together using events.
The tokenizer still emits a lame single events with all tokens, as block-level
emission failed with scoping issues specific to the PEGJS parser generator.
All stages clean up when receiving the end tokens, so that the full pipeline
can be used for repeated parsing.
The QuoteTransformer is not yet 100% fixed to work with the new interface, and
the Cite extension is disabled for now pending adaptation. Bold-italic related
tests are failing currently.
This required a few further additions to the TokenTransformDispatcher. In
particular, there is now an 'any' token match whose callbacks are executed
before more specific callbacks. This is used by the Cite extension to eat all
tokens between ref and /ref tags. This need is very common, so should be
broken out to an intermediate layer in the future.
In general, the requirements for the TokenTransformDispatcher API are now
clearer, and the API should likely be cleaned up / simplified.
token stream. This is the first token transformation exercising the
TokenTransformer class as its dispatcher. Template expansions, wiki link
formatting, tag sanitation and extensions should be able to use the same
dispatcher by registering for specific token types.
The parser performance is very slightly improved as the token stream is only
traversed once.
