By default the API uses location.host as the host, however during
development it is useful to test against production wikis
For example to test against English Wikipedia:
$wgVectorSearchHost = 'en.wikipedia.org';
Note: Links when clicked will not take the user to the target page, and
instead will take the user to the search results page with a link to
create the page.
The following config can be used to workaround that page:
$wgDisableTextSearch = true;
$wgSearchForwardUrl = "/w/index.php?title=$1";

Creates a new skins.vector.search module that
replaces the searchSuggest module from MediaWiki core.
This module creates a new Vue app using the WVUI
search widget for the new search experience.
The legacy search input form is still retains on pageload,
and the new search kicks on search input focus.
In order to manage that transition, the legacy search
input is styled to resemble the new WVUI input, and the
new input is manually focused after the component mounts.
Vue is also added as a dev-dependency to help with
type-checking.
Other changes:
* the entry in skin.json is reordered alphabetically after
skins.vector.js

As part of comparing Vue search with legacy search, we need to track how
long it takes to lazy load the wvui library. A similar metric was added
to measuring the mediawiki.searchSuggest module in
I0fa6b8904bd43c87a68e9161f00d686a0e588966.
This commit adds the following metrics which will only be used in our
synthetic tests. We are not doing RUM tests at this time.
To test locally, add the following to your LocalSettings.php and append
the query param `useskinversion=2` e.g.
(http://localhost:8181/wiki/Test?useskinversion=2):
```
$wgVectorUseCoreSearch = false;
```
Marks:
* mwVectorVueSearchLoadStart: Marks the start of loading the search
module.
* mwVectorVueSearchLoadEnd: Marks the end of loading the search
module.
Measures:
* mwVectorVueSearchLoadStartToLoadEnd: Measures the time it takes to
load the search module.

Provides a loading indicator to show while the new Vue.js based
search widget loads. Given that the new widget will pull down the
entire Vue.js runtime, it's likely that there will be a delay
before the search suggestions appear. This loader is meant to
improve the perceived loading experience of the new widget.
Adds:
- New searchLoader.js file containing loading behaviour.
- This overrides the code searchSuggest loading behaviour.
- New SearchBoxLoader.less file containing the loader styles.
- i18n message: 'vector-search-loader'.
- The Event type to jsdoc.json

- Creates a new user-preference called 'VectorSidebarVisible'
which stores the sidebar hidden/collapsed state for logged-in
users.
- Updates that user-preference on the client whenever the sidebar
is expanded or collapsed.
- Refactors the sidebar related javascript into a separate file.

Currently, the `aria-expanded` attribute is placed on the checkbox
element. However, since Ife287fc8c6e0d2aee5facf42d5d4308dea918ee3, the
checkbox is excluded from the accessibility tree, and this attribute
should be placed on the label button instead.
This commit prepares for future changes [1] to the checkbox hack interface
in a backwards compatible way:
* Passes button to `updateAriaExpanded` function
* Passes button to `bindUpdateAriaExpandedOnInput` function

There's a longstanding Chrome bug that causes CSS transitions to show in
their terminal states. This patch works around the issue by limiting
transitions to JavaScript users only via the `client-js` class which is
added to the root `html` Node some time after page content loads. The
effect is a better overall experience for everyone but transitions
unfortunately no longer appear for no-JS devices.
I am unable to reproduce this issue in Vector's configuration. This
patch should only be merged as a last resort.

Fix the icon button directionality in right-to-left languages.
Previously, the button was hardcoded to support left-to-right only.
- Replace the skin.vector.icons' `.mw-ui-icon-wikimedia-{name}:before`
`selector` in skin.json with a placeholder, `{name}`. I don't think
this selector should be needed but it seems to be erroneous not have
one. I believe this issue of wanting a null selector was encountered
in Minerva or MobileFrontend but am unable to locate the past
discourse.
- Add check and unchecked menu button selectors to skin.json that set
the appropriate background image. This shards some of the styles out
of Less and into ResourceLoader-land but it's worthwhile.
- Revise the name of horizontal collapse icon to describe its form not
function, "collapseHorizontal" to "chevronHorizontal". This has been
an established convention that was missed a couple patches back.
- Add a flipped chevronHorizontal for RTL. I used Inkscape to do the
flip and tried to match the style of the original by hand. Feel free
to edit further.
- Drop the now unnecessary icon flipping JavaScript and initial Mustache
class. This enables a real CSS-only solution for the icons.

It's advisable to rely on default icon color and set it's color
by opacity. With that we've got a better playing field to respond
to user interaction with icon color changes, not relying on
several icons at once for different states and also being
backwards-compatible for a variety of browsers.

Using 'skin' as entrance point files, similar to already existing
convention in MediaWiki land with 'skin.json' or 'SkinVector.php' as
example in Vector skin. Replacing Apache inspired 'index' convention.
Also renaming legacy to 'skin-legacy' to be clear on file base that it's

Add a menu button that toggles the panel's (also referred to as a
sidebar) collapse state. When the screen is wide enough, animate the
transition.
The menu icon from OOUI is copied into Vector to avoid two
ResourceLoaders modules (collapseHorizontal icon isn't ready for
inclusion in the OOUI icon pack and ResourceLoaderOOUIIconPackModule
doesn't support images).
Additional polish and collaboration is needed but this patch fulfills
the scope of its referenced task.

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.

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.
