Support @Embed in Foundry V12 for Items

[farling42]

The default @Embed functionality in Foundry 12 only supports Document and Roll Tables.

The following code will allow the description of any cypher item to included inline in other documents.

This will be particularly useful for Types and Foci where a series of abilities are listed, so that the text of the abilities can appear within the same displayed document page (so that the user doesn't have to open each ability to see the wording of it).

It only requires implementing the _buildEmbedHTML function as follows (which is based on core _embedTextPage function):

export class CypherItem extends Item {
  static LOG_V10_COMPATIBILITY_WARNINGS = true;

  async _buildEmbedHTML(config, options) {
    const embed = await super._buildEmbedHTML(config, options);
    if (embed) return embed;
    // As per foundry.js: JournalEntryPage#_embedTextPage
    options = { ...options, _embedDepth: options._embedDepth + 1, relativeTo: this };
    const {
      secrets=options.secrets,
      documents=options.documents,
      links=options.links,
      rolls=options.rolls,
      embeds=options.embeds
    } = config;
    foundry.utils.mergeObject(options, { secrets, documents, links, rolls, embeds });

    let toenrich;
    const key = "CYPHERSYSTEM.Embed." + this.type + (this.system.basic.cost && this.system.basic.cost != "0" ? ".cost" : ".noCost");
    if (game.i18n.has(key)) {
      toenrich = game.i18n.format(key, {
        uuid: this.uuid, 
        pool: this.system.basic.pool, 
        cost: this.system.basic.cost, 
        description: this.system.description.replace(/^<p>/,"").replace(/<\/p>$/,"")  // strip leading <p> and trailing </p>
      });
    } else {
      toenrich = this.system.description;
    }
    const container = document.createElement("div");
    container.innerHTML = await TextEditor.enrichHTML(toenrich);
    return container.children;
  }
}

with new entries in en.json:

  "CYPHERSYSTEM.Embed.ability.cost": "<p><strong>@UUID[{uuid}] ({cost} {pool}):</strong> {description}</p>",
  "CYPHERSYSTEM.Embed.ability.noCost": "<p><strong>@UUID[{uuid}]</strong> {description}</p>"

Do you have a specific example of where this would be used? I haven’t touched V12, yet, as I want to put out a last update for V11 (with roll scripting) before moving on to V12.

For a focus, the page can be written as:

Your flesh is made of hard mineral, making you a hulking, difficult-to-harm humanoid.

GM Intrusions: Creatures of stone sometimes forget their own strength or weight. A walking statue can terrify common folk.

The above provides a page that looks like:

The default layout has the "cite" link AFTER the description which isn't ideal, but simply the following would put a link on the line before each embed.

@UUID[Compendium.my-cyphersystem.abilities.HUhcmzDU3zN63h9f]
@Embed[Compendium.my-cyphersystem.abilities.HUhcmzDU3zN63h9f caption=false cite=false]
@UUID[Compendium.my-cyphersystem.abilities.dCeQCLqfm0PQa2eu]
@Embed[Compendium.my-cyphersystem.abilities.dCeQCLqfm0PQa2eu caption=false cite=false]

[farling42]

This layout is the specific reason that I wrote the "inline linktext" module in the first place :-)

[mrkwnzl]

Just for clarification, neither of the examples in the images can be done with vanilla V12?

[farling42]

Vanilla V12 only supports using @Embed with Journal Entries and Roll Tables. They specifically don't include Actors or Items because those document types are always system-dependent (so core Foundry wouldn't know which field to use for the embedding).

[mrkwnzl]

All right! Thank you for this! I’ll take a closer look when I prepare the V12 update.

[farling42]

New improved version to get closer to the printed books layout for Abilities:

en.json

  "CYPHERSYSTEM.Embed.ability.cost": "<p><strong>@UUID[{uuid}] ({cost} {pool}):</strong> {description}</p>",
  "CYPHERSYSTEM.Embed.ability.noCost": "<p>@UUID[{uuid}]: {description}</p>"

item.js

  async _buildEmbedHTML(config, options) {
    const embed = await super._buildEmbedHTML(config, options);
    if (embed) return embed;
    // As per foundry.js: JournalEntryPage#_embedTextPage
    options = { ...options, _embedDepth: options._embedDepth + 1, relativeTo: this };
    const {
      secrets=options.secrets,
      documents=options.documents,
      links=options.links,
      rolls=options.rolls,
      embeds=options.embeds
    } = config;
    foundry.utils.mergeObject(options, { secrets, documents, links, rolls, embeds });

    let toenrich;
    const key = "CYPHERSYSTEM.Embed." + this.type + (this.system.basic.cost && this.system.basic.cost != "0" ? ".cost" : ".noCost");
    if (game.i18n.has(key)) {
      toenrich = game.i18n.format(key, {
        uuid: this.uuid, 
        pool: this.system.basic.pool, 
        cost: this.system.basic.cost, 
        description: this.system.description.replace(/^<p>/,"").replace(/<\/p>$/,"")  // strip leading <p> and trailing </p>
      });
    } else {
      toenrich = this.system.description;
    }
    const container = document.createElement("div");
    container.innerHTML = await TextEditor.enrichHTML(toenrich);
    return container.children;
  }

Implemented in v3.0.0. Thanks, @farling42!
