Module:NavboxGenerator
Not finished.
Overview
Create's a navbox from a json file for input where keys are a title div container, and value "Display"
is the display text. Each title div container gets smaller and smaller the further it is in the json.
Parameters
Within each level of the json:
- <key> - Title to display in the div/container/box. Can wrap it in
<span style="mystyle">key</span>
for styling it. - Style - Style for the div
- Display - Text to display below the div
- <Any other value> - Recursively calls for the contained layer, with <Any other value> as the new <key>
Examples
For understanding the input syntax, it is recommended to view the Simple Example first.
Simple Example
The input can be seen at Data:ItemNavboxSample.json
{{#invoke:NavboxGenerator|createNavbox|Data:ItemNavboxSample.json}}
Outputs
Styled Example
The input can be seen at Data:ItemNavbox.json
{{#invoke:NavboxGenerator|createNavbox|Data:ItemNavbox.json}}
Outputs
Needed changes
1. Style/Formatting made prettier 2. A way to have the json iterated in order; for some reason mw.loadJsonData doesn't load the keys in order they appear.
This is not used on any pages currently.
