How to create a "New Topic" button in header

Is't possible to add text to the body a composer this way?

onclick="app.newTopic(2);"

Via onclick function like on this url: /compose?cid=2&body=Hello

That function doesn't support the body parameter, we should refactor it so it takes in an object with all the supported params. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/public/src/app.js#L283

This will be available in 3.2.0.

app.newTopic({ 
  cid: 2, // optional
  title: 'fooo',  // optional
  tags: ['foo1', 'foo2'],  // optional
  body:  'some content here',  // optional
});

app.newReply({
  tid: 2, //required
  pid: 10, //optional
  body: 'some content here', // optional
});

The old versions will still work for backwards compatibility.

This feature is really amazing! Because with this parameter we can create a button for users with topic/post template in composer, like this:

Name (paste your name):
Vin Diesel

Bio (talk about your):
Actor

E-mail (your mail):
[email protected]

OMG, now code block have line numbers

Doesn't work, open a new empty topic! No category, tags, title or content
The old writing still works:

app.newTopic(2, ['a', 'b']);

I think it is related to what I commented here, because always params is interpreted as boolean true, even if it is an object
