I forgot to include an "item" text-processor link function

[KVonGit]

This is what I've come up with. Feel free to improve or completely modify:

//@DOC
// ### Function: _tp.text_processors.item(arr, params)
//
//  Modified to return a string containing an item link.
//
// Returns **<STRING>**
//
// - string with an item link
//
// **PARAMS:**
//
// - ```arr``` - **<ARRAY>** TODO: Ask Pixie how to describe this.
//
// - ```params``` - **<OBJECT>** TODO: Ask Pixie how to describe this.
//
// ---
//@UNDOC
tp.text_processors.item = function(data,params) {
    let item = data[0];
    let id = data[1] || item;
    return getItemLink(w[item], id);
}

---

EXAMPLE

...

    talkto:"{random:\"I {random:like beer:can light any {item:purple_lighter:lighter} on the first attempt},\"\
     says Xan{random:, with a nod at the end for emphasis:}:XanMag nods, whilst not listening at all}.",

...

If you click and select Examine, then the link disappears. Do you know why? Is this deliberate?

That is not deliberate.

Also, that doesn't happen in my example game, but I admit that it is probably coded from QuestJS version 0.5 files. Maybe version 0.6.

I'll look at it real quick, and I shall return.

PS

I've been writing something in Quest 5 for a month or two, and I am now rusty when it comes to QuestJS code (I guess).

I didn't really need to add a text-processor function, as this code works without adding anything:

. . .

    talkto:"{random:\"I {random:like beer:can light any {nm:purple_lighter} on the first attempt},\"\
     says Xan{random:, with a nod at the end for emphasis:}:XanMag nods, whilst not listening at all}.",

. . .

I just can't replace the item's name with anything I want with nm (unless I'm missing something in the docs).

At first, I forgot about nm and nv. Hence, the creation of this issue.

EDIT

I don't think any new code needs to be added. I forgot all about nm and nv, and those serve the purpose.

The rest of this is for completion's sake / archival purposes:

I downloaded QuestJS-v0.7, added the text processor function, added an item, and couldn't recreate this. My link doesn't disappear.

After testing that, I realized I had an error (shouldn't add the id if the author doesn't provide one). Fixed that:

tp.text_processors.item = function(data,params) {
    let item = data[0];
    let id = data[1];
    return getItemLink(w[item], id);
}

---

...but yeah.

I downloaded the current version: https://github.com/ThePix/QuestJS/blob/master/QuestJS-0.7.zip

All I added was the above bit of code and this bit of code:

createRoom("lounge", {
  desc:"The lounge is boring, the author really needs to put stuff in it.<br/><br/>There is a {nm:purple_lighter} here.<br/><br/>Item: {item:purple_lighter:lighter}",
})

createItem("purple_lighter", TAKEABLE(), {
  loc:"lounge",
  examine:"An ordinary {item:purple_lighter}.",
})

Then, I added the included item_links library (I did not modify the "item_links.js" file at all):

  libraries:["_saveload", "_text", "_io", "_command", "_defaults", "_templates", "_world", "_npc", "_parser", "_commands", "item_links"],  // util already loaded

...and I can't recreate the issue.

Do you want to close it then?
