To complete the refactor, the Portal is also refactored
as a Menu using the getMenu function.
An old code path supporting portals outputted by hooks with
strings is marked as deprecated to simplify this code in future.
array-portals-first -> data-portals-first (the value is not
an array)
Changes:
* $this->getLanguages and $this->getToolbox() always returns an array (see BaseTemplate)
but we previously supported portals made using raw HTML. Let's move away from that
behaviour and deprecate it.
* Hooks are moved into buildSidebarProps and marked as deprecated where possible
(SkinTemplateToolboxEnd). SidebarBeforeOutput can be used instead.

The opt-out link was missing a tooltip which is important for
accessibility and to help people gain more context as to what it does.

Going into the new version of Vector, we'll want to rewrite the layout
rules entirely and decouple the sidebar from the logo.
To prepare for this we will move the layout file into a legacy folder.
We also separate Sidebar styles needed for the legacy mode from the old mode.
This will allow us to make changes to the header in new Vector without having to touch
or test the legacy codebase via a new file layout.less and using the existing sidebar
code.

The Mustache templates were a bit of a mix of tabs and spaces. I like
spaces personally but dislike inconsistency within the project more. Use
tabs.

This commit is singularly focused on adding a link to the sidebar for
Vector, logged-in users. It does the bare minimum to fulfill the
requirements of T243281.
Additionally, it will help to answer the question "Do we need to use
abstractions (other than maybe different templates) to separate Legacy
Vector from Vector" by intentionally leaving out any abstractions in
order to make it easier to compare with a follow-up patch
(Ib2ef15180df73360cc1de25b893e49d415d23e1a) which does use abstractions.
It is a good thing to question whether or not we need addtional
abstractions in VectorTemplate and if they will help us as unnecessary
abstractions can have the opposite effect and just lead to further
frustrations down the road.
Therefore, I urge you, the reviewer, to let me know your thoughts! If
abstractions are viewed as not making our lives any easier, the
follow-up patches may be completely discarded and that's totally okay
with me. :) I think it's a good think to talk about now though.
Important changes:
* The VectorTemplate constructor was changed to allow injecting the
config, templateParser, and isLegacy boolean (only the config was
allowed before this commit). According to MediaWiki's Stable Interface
Policy, "Constructor signatures are generally considered unstable unless
explicitly declared stable for calling" [3]. Given that VecorTemplate's
constructor is not marked as stable, it is justified to do this without
warning according to the policy.
* Due to the above, the 'setTemplate' method is no longer needed and was
marked as deprecated.
* VectorTemplateTest was made to adapt to the new VectorTemplate
constructor. Additionally, it now extends from
MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase which my intelliphense server can pick up.
I *think* MediaWikiTestCase is just an alias to
MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase [1] and MediaWikiTestCase file was renamed
to MediaWikiIntegrationTestCase in [2], but I'm willing to change it
back if there is pushback to this.
Open questions:
* What are VectorTemplate's responsibilities? To me, it acts right now
as a controller (because it echos the full HTML string from the
template), a model (because SkinTemplate::prepareQuickTemplate sets data
on it which it later retrieves through `$this->get()`), a presenter
(because it adds data tailored for a web-centric view), and a view
(because it renders HTML strings instead of letting the view/template be
solely responsible for that). Arguably, some business logic might be
mixed in there as well (because it checks to see if a User is logged
in/has necessary permissions to show x which my changes here add to).
This might not be a problem if we keep VectorTemplate relatively small,
but will it remain this way as we progress further in Desktop
Improvements?
* How do we write tests for VectorTemplate without exposing unnecessary
public methods? For example, if I want to test the `getSkinData()`
method to see what state will be sent to the template, how should I do
this? One option might be to use `TestingAccessWrapper` to expose these
private methods which is what
`VectorTemplateTest::testbuildViewsProps()` does. Another option is to
accept this method as public. Is there a better way? Keep in mind that
even with access to this method, there might be many things to mock.

This allows us to insert HTML underneath the first portal or wrap
the portal in a containing element in future if we want to target
additional CSS to it

Moving all the templateParser calls to one function
so its easier to see how the template is composed.
The diff of changes to the stories folder highlight
the internal changes which are:
* html-portals replaced with html-sidebar in main template
* new Sidebar template added which outputs to html-sidebar
* Mention of "MainMenu" replaced with better understood "Sidebar"
This is precursory work to adopt templatePartials
