vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript

Create MediaWiki userscripts built by Vite.

MediaWiki user scripts are user-generated JavaScript files stored on a MediaWiki wiki. They allow users to create their own client-side code to automate tasks, customize the interface, or improve the reading experience.

This plugin allows you to use Vite to build MediaWiki userscripts, and handles much of the configuration required to get a single JavaScript file emitted for use in MediaWiki.

Usage

Installation

npm install --save-dev vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript

Configuration

name and entry are required. All other options are optional.

• name is the name of the userscript. The userscript will be output to dist/<name>.js.
• entry is the entry point of the userscript. This is the file that will be executed once modules are loaded.

import mediawikiUserscript from 'vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        mediawikiUserscript({
            name: 'my-userscript-name',
            entry: './src/main.ts'
            // Configuration options
        }),
    ]
});

ResourceLoader modules

You may require some ResourceLoader modules as soon as your code loads. By providing a using option, these modules will automatically be loaded prior to your code being executed. This is useful in cases where you want to use the Vue.js or Codex libraries bundled into MediaWiki.

import mediawikiUserscript from 'vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        mediawikiUserscript({
            name: 'my-userscript-name',
            entry: './src/main.ts',
            using: [
                'vue',
                '@wikimedia/codex'
            ]
        }),
    ]
});

You can then import them normally in your code. If the Vue plugin of Vite is enabled, you will be able to use SFC (.vue) files seamlessly with the MediaWiki-provided Vue.js. No need to bundle Vue.js as part of your userscript.

Note that you should avoid importing styles from these modules, such as @wikimedia/codex/dist/codex.style.css, as this would have already been loaded by MediaWiki. Importing these styles would only cause additional overhead.

Output options

You can apply a header and footer to the userscript by providing header and footer options. These will be prepended and appended to the userscript respectively.

import mediawikiUserscript from 'vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        mediawikiUserscript({
            name: 'my-userscript-name',
            entry: './src/main.ts',
            header: '// my-userscript, maintained by [[User:Chlod]]',
            footer: '// end of script'
        }),
    ]
});

If you'd like to take full control of the template JavaScript file used to output the final userscript, you can pass the template options with the template to use.

import mediawikiUserscript from 'vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        mediawikiUserscript({
            name: 'my-userscript-name',
            entry: './src/main.ts',
            template: `
                mw.loader.using( 'dependencies', function ( require ) {
                    // Userscript code
                } );
            `.trim()
        }),
    ]
});

Advanced configuration

Taking full control of bundle outputs

This plugin takes over the configuration and enables Library Mode by default. This allows the userscript to be built into one single file that can then be loaded using importScript or mw.loader.load. To take control of the way bundles are generated, set build.lib to false (or whichever configuration you desire) and set the ignoreBuildOptions option to true.

import mediawikiUserscript from 'vite-plugin-mediawiki-userscript';

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        mediawikiUserscript({
            name: 'my-userscript-name',
            entry: './src/main.ts',
            build: {
                lib: false
            },
            ignoreBuildOptions: true,
            rollupOptions: {
                output: {
                    // ...
                }
            }
        }),
    ]
});
