Module:If any equal
![]() | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
![]() | This Lua module is used on approximately 241,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Main
This main
function of this module checks all positional parameters to see if any of them is equal to the parameter |value=
. If so, it will output "yes", otherwise "no".
If the plural |values=
is used, then one or more alternative values may be specified.
Examples
{{#invoke:If any equal|main|a|b|c|d|value=c}}
gives yes{{#invoke:If any equal|main|a|b|c|d|value=r}}
gives no{{#invoke:If any equal|main|a|b|c|d|value=}}
gives no{{#invoke:If any equal|main|a|b|c|d|values=r, b}}
gives yes
IfAnyEqual
The IfAnyEqual
function works in a similar way, but instead takes the names of the parameters and checks these arguments of the parent frame.
Example
For example, if you have the following code on {{Template}}
{{#invoke:If any equal|IfAnyEqual|param1|param2|values=a, b, c}}
Then calling {{Template}} will give the following results:
{{Template|param1=b|param2=f}}
gives "yes"{{Template|param1=z|param2=k}}
gives "no"{{Template|param2=a}}
gives "yes"
Using a prefix
If a prefix is specified with |prefix=
then the module will check any parameter that consists of that prefix and possibly a number afterwards.
Example
For example, if you have the following code on {{Template}}
{{#invoke:If any equal|IfAnyEqual|prefix=param|values=a, b, c}}
Then calling {{Template}} will give the following results:
require('strict')
local p = {}
p.main = function(frame)
local check_value = function(value)
for n, v in pairs(frame.args) do
if type(n)=='number' and v:lower()==value:lower() then
return true
end
end
end
local match = false
if frame.args.value and frame.args.value~='' then
match = check_value(frame.args.value)
elseif frame.args.values and frame.args.values~='' then
for value in mw.text.gsplit(frame.args.values, "%s*,%s*") do
if check_value(value) then
match = true
break
end
end
end
return match and 'yes' or 'no'
end
p.IfAnyEqual = function(frame)
local parent = frame:getParent()
if not parent.args then
return nil
end
local prefix = frame.args.prefix~='' and frame.args.prefix or nil
local check_value = function(value)
if prefix then -- check parameters which have a matching prefix
for name, v in pairs(parent.args) do
if type(name)=='string' and name:find('^' .. prefix .. '%d*$') and v:lower()==value:lower() then
return name
end
end
else
for pos, name in pairs(frame.args) do
if type(pos)=='number' and parent.args[name] and parent.args[name]:lower()==value:lower() then
return name
end
end
end
end
local match = false
if frame.args.value and frame.args.value~='' then
match = check_value(frame.args.value)
elseif frame.args.values and frame.args.values~='' then
for value in mw.text.gsplit(frame.args.values, "%s*,%s*") do
local check = check_value(value)
if check then
match = check
break
end
end
end
return match and 'yes' or 'no'
end
