Module:Arguments/doc

This module provides easy processing of arguments passed from #invoke. It is a meta-module, meant for use by other modules, and should not be called from #invoke directly (for a module directly invocable by templates you might want to have a look at params). Its features include:

• Easy trimming of arguments and removal of blank arguments.
• Arguments can be passed by both the current frame and by the parent frame at the same time. (More details below.)
• Arguments can be passed in directly from another Lua module or from the debug console.
• Most features can be customized.

Basic use

First, you need to load the module. It contains one function, named getArgs.

local getArgs = require('Module:Arguments').getArgs

In the most basic scenario, you can use getArgs inside your main function. The variable args is a table containing the arguments from #invoke.

local getArgs = require('Module:Arguments').getArgs
local p = {}

function p.main(frame)
	local args = getArgs(frame)
	-- Main module code goes here.
end

return p
