nodebb-plugin-homepage-api: Getting content of mainPid?

agarcia17

Hi everyone
I was playing around with the homepage-api plugin (modifies the homepage api to return the topics of categories instead of the posts) and I tried modifying it to where it also returns the content of the topic/mainPid but couldn't get it to work correctly. Can anybody help me out?

this is what I came up with:

                function getMainPost(topics, callback) {
                   posts.getPostFields(topics.mainPid, ["content"], function (err, data) {
                       console.log(data);
                       var content = data.content;
                       topics.content = content;
                   });
                }
            
            
            function getRecentTopics(category, callback) {
                categories.getCategoryTopics(category.cid, 0, parseInt(category.numRecentReplies, 10), uid, function (err, data) {
                    var topics = data.topics;
                    async.each(data.topics, getMainPost, function(err) {
                        next(err, data.topics)
                    });
            
                    category.topics = topics;
                    category.topic_count = topics.length;
                    callback(null);
                });
            }
            
            async.each(categoryData, getRecentTopics, function (err) {
                next(err, categoryData);
            });

nvm, I got it working. I was confused how async.each() worked..!

here's what I ended up with:

                function getMainPost(topics, callback) {
                    posts.getPostFields(topics.mainPid, ["content"], function (err, data) {
                        topics.content = data.content;
                        callback(null);
                    });

                }

            function getRecentTopics(category, callback) {
                categories.getCategoryTopics(category.cid, 0, parseInt(category.numRecentReplies, 10), uid, function (err, data) {
                    var topics = data.topics;
                    category.topics = topics;
                    category.topic_count = topics.length;

                    async.each(topics, getMainPost, function (err) {
                        callback(null);
                    });

                });
            }

            async.each(categoryData, getRecentTopics, function (err) {
                next(err, categoryData);
            });
