getTemplate

local inheritance = require("Module:Inheritance");

local TypeHandler = inheritance.extend(inheritance.Class);

function TypeHandler:init(type, parserPath, templatePath)
  self.type = type;
  self.parserPath = parserPath;
  self.templatePath = templatePath;
end

function TypeHandler:getType()
  return self.type;
end

function TypeHandler:getParser()
  if self.parser == nil then
    self.parser = require(self.parserPath);
  end
  return self.parser;
end

function TypeHandler:getTemplate()
  if self.template == nil then
    self.template = require(self.templatePath);
  end
  return self.template;
end

function TypeHandler:handlesType(typeIdentifier)
  return self.type:isType(typeIdentifier);
end

return TypeHandler;
