I need to display `like_count` to topic list.
I know I can add `TopicViewSerializer.attributes_from_topic(:like_count)` to my plugin and use outlet “topic-list-tags”
But perhaps there is a better way.
Any idea how to turn on this line?

It would be perfect if there is an option to “Like topic” directly from topic list.

That’s not very feasible yet. Might change in the future. Explained here:

Creating the link topic seems to be covered by this plugin: [GitHub - danskdynamit/discourse-links-category](https://github.com/danskdynamit/discourse-links-category) What I attempted was the upvote plugin. I found that without a significant amount of duplication of code and monkey-patching, it’s not possible to break out the like button and reuse it elsewhere. In order to add this like/vote button on the topic list, that’s exactly what you wo…

Thank you,
After many many tries I prepared working extension of ‘discourse/views/topic-list-item’ and `click(e)` event:
```plaintext
if (target.hasClass('like-count') || target.parents('.like-count').length > 0) {
const topic = this.get('topic');
Discourse.ajax(`/posts/by_number/${topic.id}/1`).then(result => {
const post = Post.create(result);
if(post.user_id == Discourse.User.current().id){
bootbox.alert(I18n.t('cant_thumb_up'))
return false;
}
post.get('likeAction').togglePromise(post).then(resultLike => {
if(resultLike.acted) {
target.closest('.like-count').toggleClass('liked');
topic.like_count = topic.like_count+1;
target.closest('.like-count').find('span').text(topic.like_count);
}else{
target.closest('.like-count').removeClass('liked');
topic.like_count = topic.like_count-1;
target.closest('.like-count').find('span').text(topic.like_count);
}
})
});
return false;
}
```
+ CSS + view extension.
I know it’s not perfect solution but Base works very well.
