Features

Use a tag to embed a plastic embed code
plastic is a javascript library that can (asynchronously) query/fetch data, process it and display it through various modules. It supports querying of SPARQL endpoints and the Semantic MediaWiki ASK API.
TODO: Provide an parser function that is less verbose and more secure and uses the MediaWiki syntax.

Usage

This Wrapper Extension provides a <plastic> tag that works exactly like the native plastic.js embed code with the one difference that the <plastic> tag is used instead of an <div class="plastic"> tag. For more detailed instructions how to use the plastic.js in general, head to the user documentation.

Example

Embed Code

<plastic id="table-ask-query" class="test" style="height: auto; width: 800px"> <script class="plastic-query" type="application/ask-query" data-query-url="http://semwiki-exp01.multimedia.hs-augsburg.de/ba-wiki/api.php">  [[Kategorie:Mitarbeiter]]  | ?Vorname=Vorname  | ?Nachname=Nachname  | ?Mail=Mail  | ?Festnetz=Festnetz  | ?Handy=Handy  </script> <script class="plastic-options" type="application/json">  {  "benchmark": true  }  </script> <script class="plastic-display" data-display-module="advanced-table" type="application/json">  {  "tableClasses": "table table-condensed smaller-font",  "paging": true,  "searching": true,  "ordering": true,  "orderMulti": true  }  </script> </plastic>
