Jermolene 73210a7b8c Refine the way that we support serialised external tiddler files
The old way was sufficiently backwards compatible that it was
impossible to use TiddlyWiki 5.1.9 to build the tw5.com edition.

As well as traditional single file wikis, [[TiddlyWiki on Node.js]] supports wikis that are stored as a folder of individual tiddler files.
! Wiki folder files and folders
Wiki folders can contain the following files and folders:
* ''tiddlywiki.info'' - JSON file containing metadata for the wiki
* ''\tiddlers'' - folder containing tiddler files comprising the wiki
* ''\plugins'' - folder containing [[plugin folders|PluginMechanism]] to be included in the wiki
Only the ''tiddlywiki.info'' file is required, the ''tiddlers'' and ''plugins'' folders are optional. Any files and folders not listed above are ignored.
!! Content of `tiddlywiki.info` file
The `tiddlywiki.info` file in a wiki folder contains a JSON object comprising the following fields:
* ''plugins'' - an array of plugin names to be included in the wiki
* ''themes'' - an array of theme names to be included in the wiki
* ''languages'' - an array of language names to be included in the wiki
* ''includeWikis'' - an array of references to external wiki folders to be included in the wiki
* ''build'' - a hashmap of named build targets, each defined by an array of command tokens (see BuildCommand)
* ''config'' - an optional hashmap of configuration options (see below)
!!! ''includeWikis''
The entries in the ''includeWikis'' array can be either a string specifying the relative path to the wiki, or an object with the following fields:
* ''path'' - relative path to wiki folder
* ''read-only'' - set //true// to prevent the tiddlers in the included wiki from being modified. The modifications will be written to the directory specified in ''default-tiddler-location'', described below
!!! ''build''
Note that the build targets of included wikis are merged if a target of that name isn't defined in the current `tiddlywiki.info` file.
!!! ''config''
Configuration options include:
* ''default-tiddler-location'' - a string path to the default location for the filesystem adaptor to save new tiddlers (resolved relative to the wiki folder)
* ''retain-original-tiddler-path'' - If true, the server will generate a tiddler [[$:/config/OriginalTiddlerPaths]] containing the original file paths of each tiddler in the wiki
!!! Example
For example:
```
{
"plugins": [
"tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
"tiddlywiki/filesystem"
],
"includeWikis": [
"../tw5.com"
],
"build": {
"index": [
"--rendertiddler","$:/core/save/all","index.html","text/plain"],
"favicon": [
"--savetiddler","$:/favicon.ico","favicon.ico",
"--savetiddler","$:/green_favicon.ico","static/favicon.ico"]
},
"config": {
"retain-original-tiddler-path": true
}
}
```
!! Content of `tiddlers` folder
All the TiddlerFiles in the `tiddlers` folder are read into the wiki at startup. Sub-folders are scanned recursively for TiddlerFiles.
Sub-folders within the `tiddlers` folder can also be given a `tiddlywiki.files` JSON file that overrides the default processing for that folder. The file format is illustrated with this example:
```
{
"tiddlers": [
{
"file": "d3.min.js",
"fields": {
"type": "application/javascript",
"title": "$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/d3/d3.js",
"module-type": "library"
},
"prefix": "var d3;if($tw.browser){\n",
"suffix": "}\nexports.d3 = d3;\n"
},
{
"file": "cloud/d3.layout.cloud.js",
"fields": {
"type": "application/javascript",
"title": "$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/d3/d3.layout.cloud.js",
"module-type": "library"
}
},
{
"file": "local/mytiddler.tid",
"isTiddlerFile": true,
"fields": {
"title": "A different title"
}
}
]
}
```
The JSON data consists of an object with a `tiddlers` property that contains an array of information about each tiddler to be loaded into the wiki. That information consists of:
* The relative or absolute path to the file to include as either:
** `file`: the file containing the tiddler
** `isTiddlerFile`: if `true`, the file will be deserialised to extract the tiddlers. Otherwise, the raw content of the file is assigned to the `text` field without any parsing
* `fields`: an object containing fields that override any provided in the tiddler file
* `prefix` & `suffix`: (optional) specify strings to be prefixed and suffixed to the tiddler file text content
