/* anno.js: Adds a sidebar menu item and hot key to toggle annotations.
Based on: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:PleaseStand/hide-vector-sidebar.js&oldid=580854231
and https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Thespaceface/MetricFirst.js
The hot key is Shift-Alt-a.
IMPORTANT: The menu item for this script is not in the side bar menu.
It is in the more tab at the top of the page. This is because having
it in the sidebar menu interferes with the script's page scrolling adjustment.
Currently, this script applies regex upon matches within the ID element 'mw-content-text'.
It wraps the annotations in <span class="anno"> and </span>. Then it hides/shows the elements
with that class. There is probably a much more efficient method than the one I use below. If you happen to know of one, please let me know.
Besides that, the script isn't finished yet. The current problem I'm trying to solve is this:
Hiding or showing annotations affects the position of the viewport, so unfortunately,
the reader is jolted away from what he was reading. This is bad.
I'd like the material that was in the viewport to stay there, which means the viewport
must be repositioned relative to the top of the page each time the toggle is activated.
If you have any ideas on how to fix this, I'd be most interested.
Sincerely,
The Transhumanist

// Start off with a bodyguard function to reserve mw and $ (see Explanatory notes on talk page).

// "mediawiki" and "jQuery", respectively
// ============== ready() event listener/handler ==============
// below is jQuery short-hand for $(document).ready(function() { ... });
// it makes the rest of the script wait until the page's DOM is loaded and ready
$(function() {
// ============== deactivation filters (guard clauses) ==============
// End the script if "Editing " is in the page title (so it doesn't conflict with script editor)
if (document.title.indexOf("Editing ") === 0) {
// use a return statement to end the local function and hence the program's body
// important: this approach does not work outside of a function
return;

var cont = document.getElementById('mw-content-text');
// wrap the annotations in spans with class "anno"

// Functions (aka subroutines) are activated only when they are called.
// Below are the functions called in the core control structure of the program above.
// They are at the end of the program, so that the script's flow
// is easier to follow.
// ============ Function to hide annotations ==============
function annoHide() {
// store status so it persists across page loads
localStorage.setItem("annostatus", "hide");
y1 = window.scrollY;
// alert( "vertical scroll position is " + y1);
//Select the set of annotations that are above where the viewpoint is scrolled to

var height_before = $(this).parent().outerHeight(true);
$(this).hide();
var height_after = $(this).parent().outerHeight(true);
scroll_amount = scroll_amount + (height_after-height_before);
} );
//Hide the remaining annotations (hide elements with the anno class)
$( ".anno" ).hide();
window.scrollTo(0, y1);
y1 = window.scrollY;
// alert( "vertical scroll position is " + y1);
//Scroll the window by the required amount
window.scrollBy(0, scroll_amount);
// now we have to update the menu item
// (referred to in this script as "annoSwitch").
// To do that, first we remove it (if it exists):
if ( annoSwitch ) {
annoSwitch.parentNode.removeChild(annoSwitch);
}
// and then we create it (or its replacement) from scratch:
annoSwitch = mw.util.addPortletLink( 'p-cactions', '#', 'Annotations \(show\)', '', 'Show annotations', 'a' );
// annoSwitch = mw.util.addPortletLink( 'p-tb', '#', 'Annotations \(show\)', 'ca-anno', 'Show the annotations', 'a' );
// make the menu item clickable by binding it to a click handler
// (which activates the actions between the curly brakets when clicked):
$( annoSwitch ).click( function ( e ) {
e.preventDefault(); // prevents any default action -- we want only the following action to run:
annoShow();
} );
}
// ============ Function to show annotations ==============
function annoShow() {
// store status so it persists across page loads
localStorage.setItem("annostatus", "show");
// show the annotations (show elements with the anno class)
$( ".anno").show();
// now we have to update the menu item
// (referred to in this script as "annoSwitch").
// To do that, first we remove it (if it exists):
