Add the library and your custom code before your </body>:
<script src="js/discourse-api.js"></script>
<script src="js/discourse-custom.js"></script>
Then create an empty file js/discourse-custom.js with the basic info:
var baseURL = 'https://discourse.mozilla-community.org';
client = new DiscourseApi(baseURL);
var category = 'mozillians';
client.category(category, function(response) {
// We need to wait until the remote response is back
if (response) {
// Your code here
}
});
The response variable will include the category object with all information such as:
response.topic_list.topics.length // Number of topics retrieved
response.topic_list.topics[0] // Object with the first topic
response.topic_list.topics[0].slug
response.topic_list.topics[0].id
response.topic_list.topics[0].title
response.topic_list.topics[0].created_at
response.topic_list.topics[0].views
response.topic_list.topics[0].like_count
client = new DiscourseApi(baseURL);
var topic = '56';
client.topic(topic, function(response) {
// We need to wait until the remote response is back
if (response) {
// Your code here
}
});
The response variable will include the topic object with all information such as:
response.title
response.slug
response.id
response.posts_count // Number of messages, including the first one
response.created_at
response.post_stream.posts[0] // Object with the first message info
response.post_stream.posts[0].username
response.post_stream.posts[0].name
response.post_stream.posts[0].views
response.post_stream.posts[0].like_count
response.post_stream.posts[0].avatar_template
response.post_stream.posts[0].cooked // Message content in HTML
Check example.html and js/discourse-custom.js for a simple example.
There is an advanced example in index.html and js/discourse-blog.js on how to present all topics in a category and their content as a blog.
