The collapsible sidebar adds a new JavaScript dependency and behavior to
Latest mode only. There are a number of ways of to make the deviation
but we think now is the time to start splitting by module.
This patch adds a new ResourceLoader module, skins.vector.legacy.js, and
moves the existing JavaScript into it. The old module, skins.vector.js,
has been given a currently matching index.js entry point that references
the collapsible tabs' files by reaching across directories. It's not
quite ideal as usually ResourceLoader modules and directory structures
strive for 1:1 correspondence but this patch makes the bold assertions
that it's better than a file copy, better than a new
"skins.vector.common.js" ResourceLoader module, more compatible than a
symlink, and the existing jQuery tabs implementation will eventually be
replaced in Latest mode.
A "Legacy" module was added instead of a "Latest" with the assumption
that active development should generally be considered "latest" and
Legacy an intentional distinction.

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.

Moving styles from the existing styles to common/layout
or components stylesheets they should be associated with.
Components are identified using PascalCase. Lowercase names are used for things
that are not components. This distinction should help us reason with the code
better and make it clearer where CSS belongs, saving us lots of wasted
effort discussing conventions.
Patch isn't making actual CSS changes themselves - for testing purposes this
should be a NOOP.
In preparation for the gradient removal,
'background-gradient.less' is marked as legacy.
Merged 'externalLinks.less' into content.less, they belong to content.

Changes to support feature:
* ResourceLoaderSkinModule logo features are dropped
* New layout provided given the fork in layout between legacy and new.
* Legacy sidebar styles now pulled out
* breakpoint styles are not carried over from legacy Vector
The new Vector layout for now has one breakpoint.
Changes to storybook:
* The storybook script now pulls down image assets so that the logos can
be shown in storybook. The script is adjusted to make use of a static folder to
serve these images.
Note:
* The legacy mode is not touched as part of this patchset.
* The personal menu is unaffected by this patch and is out of scope.
* The alignment issue is noted, but will be solved at a later date.
* Changes to portal are out of scope.
* Adding storybook for modern descoped, given its not possible to load
both legacy layout and modern layout inside a storybook at current time.

In I23f18fc5f078da3331cad540bbaf533d348f2108 layout was pulled out
into a separate file and we changed the ordering of our CSS.
This was done with the thinking that media print queries would be
mixed with media screen.
After discussions with Volker, I have been convinced this was a
mistake.
media queries of the same type can be nested so the @media screen
is removed from layout.less and the media query in index.less will
be used instead.

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.

Move all Vector JavaScript to ResourceLoader `packageFiles`[0] which are
much more compatible with modern development practices:
- The entrypoint is the first `packageFiles` entry (unless specified
otherwise). All other JavaScript must be explicitly executed.
- Remove a level of indentation due to IIFEs from every JavaScript file.
Regretfully, ESLint does not support modules except in ES6+ so the
otherwise useful `no-implicit-globals` rule must be disable. The
change comes with a comment so we always remember.
- IDEs and other tooling understand Node.js-like `module.exports` /
`require()`.
This change seemed the most sensible way to start developing new
JavaScript in Vector needed by the collapsible sidebar.

Move all the LESS `z-index` settings to variables.less so it's easy to
conceptualize how UI will be layered. jQuery CSS rules are untouched but
documented.
Also, remove the seemingly redundant re-setting of the `mw-searchButton`
`z-index`:
#mw-searchButton
z-index: 1;
}
This rule was added in 0c77e4f.
The sidebar work will require `z-index` properties and this refactor
eases the comprehension of those changes, as well as prevents the
accrual of more `z-index` technical debt.

It is not the most useful of components and adds an additional layer
of complexity similar to multiple inheritance chains that we find in
Object oriented programming.
I suggest we use index.mustache going forward for laying out the different
components and use components/template partials for reusable components.

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.

To have a clean break for upcoming changes we will duplicate
index.less into legacy.less and create a new module to clearly
separate new styles from old.
The preferred name however does come with some caching challenges.
Cached HTML served to anons will continue to load the style module
`skins.vector.styles` for a period of 1-4 weeks
Provided we are careful with our changes during this period this
should be okay.

Move styles.less to index.less and import print.less from it. This keeps
the reasoning about styles constrained to LESS instead of spread out
over LESS _and_ ResourceLoader. The former is preferable since LESS is
more standardized than ResourceLoader.
The approach of moving styles.less to index.less and then referencing
print.less was chosen with the intent that it'd be easier to assume
styles are screen styles unless a media query says otherwise.
This patch also makes the variables import common among print and screen
styles.

Prior to this patch, Vector used a mixture of LESS media queries and
ResourceLoader (RL) media queries[0]. So far as I can tell[1], the
latter only instructs RL to wrap the contents of a LESS file within a
query (there are no conditionals placed on style loading). Further,
according to a coauthor of RL (Roan), RL media query support was most
likely a replacement for `@media foo { @import foo.css }` to inline
print styles from a separate style sheet which Vector itself does not
use. The LESS solution is much more intuitive since it's not MediaWiki-
specific and only the LESS code needs to be considered instead of LESS
_and_ the RL configuration in skin.json.
This patch moves both screen media queries to screen.less for the
aforementioned consistency and to avoid nesting queries. It is hoped
that these changes will help make future work easier, such as those to
margin likely to take place in making the sidebar collapsible.
