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.

Various skins may extend SkinVector (although none are in production)
(https://github.com/search?q=%22extends+SkinVector%22&type=Code)
This makes it clear we no longer support that behaviour.
Because of the skins that are extending SkinVector currently we have
not resorted to using the final keyword at this time.

We expect the vast majority of requirements and features to be defined
in services as possible. However, there are some "complex" requirements
that require additional application/HTTP request state. Unfortunately,
service wiring is done before some of that state is available.
I65702426 attempted to work around this by requiring clients of the
Feature Manager to pass that additional state on every interaction with
the system. Those complex requirements would then select the parts of
the state that they required when it was required. However
implementations of \IContextSource are God objects and their use should
be limited.
Whilst reviewing I65702426, Stephen Niedzielski mentioned that the
application state being available is a requirement. This remarkably
simple solution:
- Keeps the Requirement interface and FeatureManager API free of God
objects;
- Is true to the nature of the Feature Manager - it makes clear and
centralizes the various checks for application state being available
across the codebase; and
- Inject a Requirement implementations' dependencies at construction
time
It just so happens that the $wgFullyInitialised variable flags whether
the application state is available...
Changes:
- Add the the FeatureManager\Requirements\DynamicConfigRequirement class
and tests. The DynamicConfigRequirement lazily evaluates a single
configuration value whenever ::isMet is invoked
- Register an DynamicConfigRequirement instance, configured to evaluate
$wgFullyInitialised while constructing the Vector.FeatureManager
service

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.

FeatureManager::registerRequirement established the interface for a
requirement: its name and whether it's met.
However, the Feature Manager also needs to handle scenarios where a
requirement needs additional context before it can be considered met.
That context may not be available when the application is booting, e.g.
checking if the user is logged in; or the logic is complicated enough
that it should be under test.
Changes:
- Add the Requirement interface and update FeatureManager to work with
implementations of it
- Maintain B/C by constructing an instance of a the SimpleRequirement
DTO

As was noted in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T244481#5859513, the
term "set" doesn't seem natural. Piotr Miazga (polishdeveloper, pmiazga)
and Nicholas Ray (nray) suggested a number of good replacements,
including "requirement." Serendipitously, this term is already used in
FeatureManager's documentation.

CHANGES to index.mustache:
Changes can be understood by looking at the diff of
the file stories/skin.stories.js
The additional changes in stories folder export the data passed to
those templates. A new file is used as exporting any variable in a
file suffixed stories.js will be assumed to be a story entry.
The changes to index.mustache are as follows:
* html-footer is replaced with data-footer and Footer
component is rendered via template partial
* html-navigation is replaced with data-navigation and
Navigation component is rendered via template partial
CHANGES to Navigation.mustache:
Changes are best explained by looking at the diff to
stories/navigation.stories.js
and navigation.stories.data.js
* html-personal-menu is replaced with data-personal-menu

Sections can be nested. Using rendering/skin as the parent
means that Vector's skin preference will always come straight
after the skin preference and before Popups.
A change in core is needed to update the selector for the element which
shows/hides the subsection as well as provide a generic message key to
replace the one inside this repository.
Note: If the "Vector" specific heading is needed, we can achieve this
with a little more work but that is a conversation for another time.

Add a Vector-specific user preference to Special:Preferences for
toggling skin version, either Legacy Vector or the latest Vector.
The presentation of the new preference section and the default values
for anonymous, new, and existing accounts are configurable via
$wgVectorShowSkinPreferences, $wgVectorDefaultSkinVersion (to be used by
the feature manager in T244481),
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForExistingAccounts, and
$wgVectorDefaultSkinVersionForNewAccounts. These configurations default
to the fullest experience so that third-party configuration is minimal.
See skin.json for details. The configurations are each tested in
VectorHooksTest.php.
When presentation is enabled, the new preference appears as a checkbox;
enabled is Legacy mode and disable is latest. There are a number of
unfortunate details:
- Showing and hiding a checkbox is supported by OOUI. Showing and hiding
a whole section (Vector skin preferences, in this case) is not so this
additional client JavaScript functionality is added in Core (see
Iaf68b238a8ac7a4fb22b9ef5d6c5a3394ee2e377).
- Stylization as a checkbox is wanted. However, the implied storage type
for OOUI checkboxes is a boolean. This is not wanted in the event that
another skin version is added (e.g., '3' or 'alpha'). As a workaround,
the preference is converted from a boolean to a version string ('1' or
'2') on save in Hooks::onPreferencesFormPreSave() and from a version
string to a checkbox enable / disable string ('1' or '0') in
onGetPreferences(). There a number of test cases to help cover these
concerning details.
Documentation for overriding the skin version as a URL query parameter
is provided in anticipation of T244481.

With complex additions to Vector's codebase like the Desktop Improvement
Program upcoming, it's important that we have a shared, intuitive
language to talk about features and their requirements. Centralising
the registration of features and creating an API satisfies does exactly
this.
This change introduces a greatly-reduced version of Piotr Miazga's
(polishdeveloper, pmiazga) original proposed API and associated
scaffolding classes for feature management in Vector, which itself was
based upon his work in MobileFrontend/MinervaNeue. This is done to
establish a foundation upon which we can build the more sophisticated
parts of Piotr's proposal in a piecemeal basis, thereby minimising risk.
Distinct from Piotr's proposed API is the ability to register sets and
features that are always enabled or disabled.
Additionally:
- A Vector.FeatureManager service is registered but not used
- A list of proposed immediate next steps is included

- Update package.json with the new dependencies.
- A script storybook.sh pulls down CSS and LESS imports from external
dependencies. This copies the approach taken in Popups and MobileFrontend.
- Icons from external repos are maintained within the repo in SVG-only form.
Using load.php modules is also possible, but will pull down other unnecessary icons
and break if any of these modules are changed. Decided that we should manually maintain
these for the time being given there are only 3 icons.
- Several LESS files now import the variables file. I think it's useful for stories
to only import the CSS they use as this encourages us to modularise our CSS. Before these
imports were not necessary as they inherit imports from index.less. This will have no impact
on the bundle size as the LESS compiler silently discards duplicate imports
- stories/utils.js provides a useful placeholder function for generalising our hook entry
points.

The hook that places content between the portals (or portlets?)

enclosed inside of an output buffer so that any content it

The SkinVector implements IContextSource, thus it has to provide
the getConfig() method. Vector skin is currently using
it's own `vectorConfig` in one place and it passes the VectorConfig
to the VectorTemplate class. Sadly the VectorConfig is the same
thing what $this->getConfig() provides. There is no need to make
this code more complex by handling two different config containers
which at the end are the same GlobalVarConfig instances.
If we decide to handle VectorConfigs differently, let's thing it
through, for now we should simplify code and remove all uncessary
logic. Thanks to that, there is also no need to override the
setupTemplate().
