The code I posted above with the `console.log` statement that returns the post attributes, is meant to go in a theme or a theme component. For a general overview of developing Discourse themes, see [Developer’s guide to Discourse Themes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developer-s-guide-to-discourse-themes/93648). For details about using the Plugin API methods in a theme, instead of a plugin, see [https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-the-pluginapi-in-site-customizations/41281](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-the-pluginapi-in-site-customizations/41281).
