Topic ID as a variable?

Dev

@tknospdr @pfaffman I cobbled together a quick component that allows you to input the topic id and jump to it.

Create a new component, and add this to the JS tab under the Edit CSS/HTML button[1]:

import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api";
import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { action } from "@ember/object";
import Form from "discourse/components/form";
import DiscourseURL from "discourse/lib/url";

export default apiInitializer((api) => {
    api.renderBeforeWrapperOutlet("full-page-search-filters", 
        class GoToTopic extends Component {
            @action
            handleSubmit(data) {
                DiscourseURL.routeTo(`/t/${data.id}`);
            }
            
            <template>
                <div class="topic-id-go-to" style="margin-top: 1em;">
                    <Form @onSubmit={{this.handleSubmit}} as |form|>
                    
                      <form.Field @name="id" @title="Topic id" as |field|>
                        <field.Input @type="number" @validation="required" />
                      </form.Field>
                    
                      <form.Submit />
                    </Form>
                </div>
            </template>
        }
    );
});

This adds an input to the Search page:

The Submit button is to go to the topic[2]; it does not affect search results.

Hope this helps!

  1. My first time using FormKit, it’s really cool! ↩︎

  2. I couldn’t change the button text, as that would require locales… which would need a whole TC repo, which might be overkill :person_shrugging:. ↩︎
