Модуль:families/doc

This module is used to retrieve and manage Wiktionary's various language families and the information associated with them. See Wiktionary:Families for more information.

This module provides access to other modules. To access the information from within a template, see Module:families/templates.

The information itself is stored in Module:families/data. This module should not be used directly by any other module, the data should only be accessed through the functions provided by Module:families.

Finding and retrieving families

The module exports a number of functions that are used to find families.

Family objects

A Family object is returned from one of the functions above. It is a Lua representation of a family and the data associated with it. It has a number of methods that can be called on it, using the : syntax. For example:

local m_families = require("Module:families")
local fam = m_families.getByCode("ine")
local name = fam:getCanonicalName()
-- "name" will now be "Indo-European"
