Modifying Composer.js in a Discourse Plugin

Siddhu_Dhangar is developing a Discourse plugin, “topic curator,” and wants to modify the composer.js file without altering the main file. He successfully modified the composer.hbs template file but needs help with the JavaScript file.

Siddhu_Dhangar shared his GitHub link: https://github.com/siddhudhangar/discourse-topic-curator

david suggested using the Discourse JavaScript plugin API to achieve this.

Siddhu_Dhangar created a composer.js.es6 file in the initializers directory and used the api.modifyClass function to modify the save method in composer.js, successfully changing its functionality. He thanked david for his help.

You should use the javascript plugin API. If you explain what you’re trying to achieve, I’m sure we can work out the best API method to use.
