--[[
 * T-LibraryInterview.lua
 * Module for rendering the Library Interview template using the Blueprint framework
 * 
 * This module implements the Library Interview template functionality using the
 * standardized Blueprint architecture, providing improved maintainability and
 * integration with other ICANNWiki modules.
 *
 * Key features:
 * - Uses the Blueprint framework for standardized template rendering
 * - Extracts person names from wiki links for semantic properties
 * - Preserves wiki links in the displayed output
 * - Automatically generates semantic properties based on ConfigRepository settings
 * - Handles ID generation for templates without explicit IDs
 *
 * Integration with other modules:
 * - LuaTemplateBlueprint: Provides the foundation and standardized architecture
 * - ErrorHandling: All operations are protected with centralized error handling
 * - ConfigRepository: Template loads configuration from this central repository
 *   including field definitions, semantic properties, and categories
 * - TemplateHelpers: Common utilities for rendering and normalization
 * - TemplateStructure: Block-based rendering engine
 *
 * ConfigRepository integration:
 * - Field definitions come from ConfigRepository.templates.LibraryInterview.fields
 * - Semantic properties come from ConfigRepository.templates.LibraryInterview.semantics
 * - Categories come from ConfigRepository.templates.LibraryInterview.categories
 * - Global property names like "Has person" come from ConfigRepository.semanticProperties
 *
 * Note on parameter handling:
 * - Template parameters are extracted and normalized by the Blueprint framework
 * - Parameters are accessible via args[paramName] regardless of case used in the template

-- ========== Required modules ==========
local Blueprint = require('Module:LuaTemplateBlueprint')
local ErrorHandling = require('Module:ErrorHandling')
local ConfigRepository = require('Module:ConfigRepository')

-- ========== Helper Functions ==========

-- Extract page name from wiki link [[Name]] or [[Name|Text]]
local function extractFromWikiLink(value)
    local name = value:match("%[%[([^%|%]]+)%]%]") or value:match("%[%[([^%|%]]+)%|.-%]%]")
    return name or value
end

-- Get current page ID
local function getCurrentPageId()
    local title = mw.title.getCurrentTitle()
    return title and title.id
end

-- ========== Template Registration ==========

-- Register the template with the Blueprint
local template = Blueprint.registerTemplate('LibraryInterview')

-- Initialize the standard configuration
Blueprint.initializeConfig(template)

-- Set the table class to "library-box"
template.config.constants = template.config.constants or {}
template.config.constants.tableClass = "library-box"

-- ========== Custom Field Processors ==========

-- Add custom field processors
template.config.processors = {
    -- ID processor - use current page ID if not provided
    ID = function(value, args, template)
        if not value or value == "" then
            return tostring(getCurrentPageId() or "")
        end
        return value
    end,
    
    -- Interviewer processor - use original value with wiki links for display
    Interviewer = function(value, args, template)
        return args._originalInterviewer or value
    end,
    
    -- Interviewee processor - use original value with wiki links for display
    Interviewee = function(value, args, template)
        return args._originalInterviewee or value
    end
}

-- ========== Preprocessors ==========

-- Add preprocessor for wiki link extraction
Blueprint.addPreprocessor(template, function(template, args)
    -- Process Interviewee field to extract wiki links
    if args.Interviewee and args.Interviewee ~= "" then
        -- Store the original value for display
        args._originalInterviewee = args.Interviewee
        -- Extract the name from wiki link for semantic processing
        args.Interviewee = extractFromWikiLink(args.Interviewee)
    end
    
    -- Process Interviewer field to extract wiki links
    if args.Interviewer and args.Interviewer ~= "" then
        -- Store the original value for display
        args._originalInterviewer = args.Interviewer
        -- Extract the name from wiki link for semantic processing
        args.Interviewer = extractFromWikiLink(args.Interviewer)
    end
    
    return args
end)

-- ========== Main Render Function ==========

-- Main render function that delegates to the template's render method
function p.render(frame)
    return template.render(frame)
end

return p
