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.

* Content.mustache doc param order was modified to follow the html structure
order (with html-dataAfterContent at bottom ). `html-userlangattributes`
was added to param documention since it was absent.
* Footer.mustache doc param order was modified to follow the html structure
order (with `html-userlangattributes` placed after `html-vector-before-footer`)
* Navigation.mustache was modified to remove `html-sidebar`,
`html-navigation-left-tabs` and `html-navigation-right-tabs` params from
doc since those are absent from Navigation.mustache.
* `data-namespace-tabs`, `data-variants`, `data-page-actions`,
`data-page-actions-more`, `data-search-box`, `data-sidebar` params were
added in Navigation.mustache documentation since those are present.

Lift the mists of confusion by checking that all JavaScript types align.
No ignores! This is the JavaScript equivalent to Phan.
This patch adds the necessary infrastructure for verifying typing and
fixes the few flaws found.

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

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

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

- 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.

A Portal (or portlet) in the Vector context is a section of the
sidebar menu (e.g. Tools, Languges etc.).
The hook that places content between the portals (or portlets?)
such as `SkinTemplateToolboxEnd` and `otherlanguages` has been
enclosed inside of an output buffer so that any content it
produces can be passed to a template.

For consistency with VectorTabs, rename SearchComponent to only imply

just "Search") for grepability and standard component style conventions.

Extract SearchComponent.mustache from VectorTemplate. The "search"
message is now escaped by the template parser. As is, htmlspecialchars()
for "wgScript".
A later patch will change each component renderer function as well as
renderNavigation() to return a string.

Regression from 74b9803d9a, caused by a bug in LightNCandy which
caused {{foo}} to render "0", and {{#foo}} to pass as true with "0", but then
in {{#foo}}<b>{{foo}}</b>{{/foo} render as empty string producing "<b></b>".
In other words, the conditional is passing and the inner block is executed,
but the placeholder is mistakenly converting "0" => null => "" (empty string),
causing the <h1> to render but without any text in it.
Work around this bug by simply removing the conditional. Several other skins
already don't have this conditional and it's unclear why or in what
situation MediaWiki would send OutputPage to SkinTemplate without a title.
I think it would make sense in such rare case to still have a consistent
layout for extensions and gadgets to interact with and not omit the H1
element, but render it with the value that OutputPage gave it, even if it
is the empty string.

This reverts commit a3ca2c3e16.
Reason for revert: This requires wider discussion before moving
forward, and a more complete implementation even once we do have
consensus.
No associated task exists on which to view or continue this
discussion: linked task briefly mentions Mustache in general as an
option as part of a much wider topic, but doesn't concern this
specifically.
Issues that should be discussed include:
* What the intent even is here: is this for one skin only? Is this
the intended path forward for all of them? Depending on which, we
have other issues: for the former case, that it is quite
unhelpful in terms of maintenance and further development having
more random code diversity out there, especially in this
half-completed state; or if it is indeed intended for all of them,
that an RfC is needed before anything is merged, as that is a very
significant change.
* That using Mustache in MediaWiki does add (usually minor)
performance overhead; we need to clearly establish in the task that
this is indeed worth it here.
