This is required for when helpers include json-encoded variables as arguments.
As an example, imagine a template with content:
{{# str }} somekey, someidentifier, { "fullname": "{{ fullname }}" } {{/ str }}
If the fullname variable were to include the double-quote character (e.g.
John "Trevor" Doe) because of the way in which mustache renders content, it
would become:
{{# str }} somekey, someidentifier, { "fullname": "John "Trevor" Doe" } {{/ str }}
This results in an invalid JSON structure.
To work around this issue, the quote characters in the passed variable
must be escaped:
{{# str }} somekey, someidentifier, { "fullname": "John \"Trevor\" Doe" } {{/ str }}
Unfortunately, Mustache provides no way of doing so natively.
With this function, we can quote the text as appropriate:
{{# str }} somekey, someidentifier, { "fullname": {{# quote }}{{ fullname }}{{/ quote }} } {{/ str }}
This also handles the case where the quoted content includes the Mustache
delimeter ({{ or }}).
For example:
fullname = 'John "}}Trevor{{" Doe'
Ordinarily this would be rendered as:
{{# str }} somekey, someidentifier, { "fullname": "John "}}Trevor{{" Doe" } {{/ str }}
This rendering is both a JSON error, and also a mustache syntax error because of the mustache delimeters.
The quote helper also escapes these by wrapping them in change delimeter
tags:
{{# str }} somekey, someidentifier, { "fullname": "John "{{=<% %>=}}}}<%={{ }}=%>Trevor{{=<% %>=}}{{{{=<% %>=}}" Doe" } {{/ str }}
Now the db/service.php array can contain these extra keys to provide information
on how a webservice may be called:
'ajax' => true (Default is false)
Replaces the xx_is_allowed_from_ajax callback.
'loginrequired' => false (Default is true)
Means that this webservice can be called through lib/ajax/service-nosession.php
which sets NO_MOODLE_COOKIES to true (faster). This is only safe for webservices returning
static public data (e.g. get_string).
This change moves several repeated sections of code that was searching
for templates and valid template locations to a new class. It adds
unit tests for the new class and verifies subsystem support for templates.
