Module:Utils

This module provides utility functions used from other modules.

Usage

Add the following line of code at the top of your file.

local Utils = require("Module:Utils")

-- You may then call functions from this module in your script. For example:
local tableLength = Utils.tableLen(myTable)

---

local p = {}

-- Trims and parses the args into a table, then returns the table
function p.normaliseArgs(frame)
    local origArgs = frame:getParent().args
    local args = {}
    
    for k, v in pairs(origArgs) do
        v = mw.text.trim(tostring(v))
        if v ~= '' then
            args[k] = v
        end
    end
    
    return args
end

return p
