composer require afrux/forum-widgets-core:"*"

Here is a list of currently compatible widgets you can install:

• Online Users
• Forum Stats
• Top Posters
• News Fader

Updating

composer update afrux/forum-widgets-core:"*"
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Extend

Extension developers wanting to create widgets with this small framework, the following explains how you can register a new widget, for now you should only register one widget per extension.

1. Require this extension in your extension's composer.json:

"require": {
 "flarum/core": "^1.0.0",
 "afrux/forum-widgets-core": "^0.1.0"
},

1. Create your widget's component in common/components by extending the base Widget component provided with this package.

import Widget from 'flarum/extensions/afrux-forum-widgets-core/common/components/Widget';

export default class MyWidget extends Widget {
 className() {
 // Custom class name.
 // You can also use the class "AfruxWidgets-Widget--flat" for a flat widget (not contained in a block).
 // Please avoid strong custom styling so that it looks consistent in other themes.
 return 'MyWidget';
 }

 icon() {
 // Widget icon.
 return 'fas fa-cirlce';
 }

 title() {
 // Widget title.
 // Can return empty for a titleless widget.
 return app.translator.trans('afrux-online-users-widget.forum.widget.title');
 }

 content() {
 return (
 <div className="Afrux-OnlineUsersWidget-users">
 // ...
 </div>
 );
 }
}

1. Register your widget in the admin and forum frontends:

• Create a new registerWidget.js file in common:

import Widgets from 'flarum/extensions/afrux-forum-widgets-core/common/extend/Widgets';

import MyWidget from './components/MyWidget';

export default function(app) {
 (new Widgets).add({
 key: 'onlineUsers',
 component: MyWidget,
 
 // Can be a callback that returns a boolean value.
 // example: () => app.forum.attribute('myCustomExtension.mySetting')
 isDisabled: false,
 
 // Is this a one time use widget ? leave true if you don't know.
 isUnique: true,
 
 // The following values are default values that can be changed by the admin.
 placement: 'end',
 position: 1,
 }).extend(app, 'my-extension-id');
};

• Register the widget in both frontends admin/index.js & forum/index.js:

import registerWidget from '../common/registerWidget';

app.initializers.add('my-extension-id', () => {
 registerWidget(app);
});

1. If you are using typescript, you can add the typings of this package by adding this to the paths key in your tsconfig.json file:

"flarum/extensions/afrux-forum-widgets-core/*": ["../vendor/afrux/forum-widgets-core/js/dist-typings/*"]

You can also checkout other example widgets in the Afrux github org.
