Closed Sidebar by Default

Customization Theme component
8

Hello :waving_hand:

Thanks @nathank for creating a topic for this theme component! :hugs:

I think something like this should work nowadays. This approach will only close the sidebar on the initial load, and after that, it will fall back to the default behavior (remembering the user’s preference).

import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api";

const HIDE_SIDEBAR_KEY = "sidebar-hidden";
const INITIALIZED_KEY = "closed-sidebar-by-default-initialized";

export default apiInitializer("1.8.0", (api) => {
  const keyValueStore = api.container.lookup("service:key-value-store");
  const userGroups = settings.user_in_closed_sidebar_groups;

  if (userGroups) {
    if (!keyValueStore.getItem(INITIALIZED_KEY)) {
      keyValueStore.setItem(HIDE_SIDEBAR_KEY, "true");
      keyValueStore.setItem(INITIALIZED_KEY, "true");
    }
  } else {
    if (keyValueStore.getItem(INITIALIZED_KEY)) {
      keyValueStore.removeItem(HIDE_SIDEBAR_KEY);
      keyValueStore.removeItem(INITIALIZED_KEY);
    }
  }
});
