Topic ID as a variable?

I created GitHub - literatecomputing/discourse-custom-components as an example of how to do that.

github.com/literatecomputing/discourse-custom-components

javascripts/discourse/api-initializers/custom-components.gjs

main


      
          settings.custom_text_block.forEach((component) => {
            api.renderInOutlet(component.outlet, <template>
              <div class={{concatClass "custom-component" component.class}}>
                {{htmlSafe component.text}}
              </div>
            </template>);

Is a trivial example of inserting a component. So you would add some code before <template> to get the topic id and logic for whether to display.

I think you might want topic-list-before-link as the plugin outlet.
