Upcoming Header Changes - Preparing Themes and Plugins

[saquetim (Sérgio Saquetim)]

@Danny_Dainton

Would anyone be able to help me out with the changes I need for this, please?

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.4">
const { iconNode } = require("discourse-common/lib/icon-library");

api.decorateWidget('header-icons:before', helper => {
    return helper.h('li', [
        helper.h('a#graduation-cap.icon', {
            href:'https://example.com/',
            title: 'Learning Center'
        }, iconNode('graduation-cap')),
    ]);
});
</script>

I believe I need to convert it to use api.headerIcons.add(“foo”, FooIcon, { before: “search” }) but i’m not 100% sure how to do that

Any help here would be very much appreciated

HI @Danny_Dainton,

Take a look at the Custom Header Links (icons) theme-component. I believe it does what you need.

If you can’t use the theme-component, api.headerIcons.add will do the trick.

• Create a new initializer file. It needs to have the extension .gjs
• The following code should do what you want:

// javascripts/discourse/initializers/custom-header-icons.gjs

import { apiInitializer } from "discourse/lib/api";
import dIcon from "discourse-common/helpers/d-icon";

export default apiInitializer("1.34.0", (api) => {
  api.headerIcons.add(
    "custom-header-home",
    <template>
      <li>
        <a id="graduation-cap" class="icon" href="https://example.com/" title="Learning Center">
          {{dIcon "graduation-cap"}}
        </a>
      </li>
    </template>,
    { before: "search" }
  );
});
