Append Clap Count to the Post List

Append Clap Count to the Post List

I wanted to check how many claps I got for each post without entering the post. Code for minimal, non-clapable counts? had a good code snippet to start with. So I gave it a try.

4 files to be modified. (check related commit)

_includes/components/post-list-item.html
_includes/components/post.html
_includes/my-scripts.html
_sass/my-style.scss

post-list-item.html

list

{% if post.applause_button %}<span class="clap-count" data-url="{{ post.url | absolute_url }}"></span>{% endif %}

Simply append <span class="clap-count"> to the proper position. this span will be used to plant clap count later.

<!-- file: "/_includes/components/post-list-item.html" -->
{% assign post = include.post %}
{% assign format = include.format | default:site.data.strings.date_formats.related_post | default:"%d %b %Y" %}

<li class="h4">
  <a href="{{ post.url | relative_url }}" class="flip-title"><span>{{ post.title }}</span></a>
  {% unless site.hydejack.hide_dates %}<time class="faded fine" datetime="{{ post.date | date_to_xmlschema }}">{{ post.date | date:format }}</time>{% endunless %}
  {% if post.applause_button %}<span class="clap-count" data-url="{{ post.url | absolute_url }}"></span>{% endif %}
</li>

post.html

post

{% if post.applause_button %}
  {{ ' ' }}
  <span class="clap-count" data-url="{{ post.url | absolute_url }}"></span>
{% endif %}

The same goes for the post.html. I deliberately placed clap count at the end of the line for both, because clap count is updated asynchronously. So it will be popped up after the page load. I don’t want to see the whole line aligning again.

<!-- file: "/_includes/components/post.html" -->

    {%- assign post_format = site.data.strings.date_formats.post | default:"%d %b %Y" -%}

  {% if post.applause_button %}
    {{ ' ' }}
    <span class="clap-count" data-url="{{ post.url | absolute_url }}"></span>
  {% endif %}
{% endcapture %}

my-scripts.html

This is where the magic happens. Applause supports POST - /get-multiple. Issue Code for minimal, non-clapable counts? gave me a place to start with.

In short, the script parses all clap-count to get the URL of the post and asks the Applause to get clap count.

<!-- file: "/_includes/my-scripts.html" -->

  document.getElementById('_pushState').addEventListener('hy-push-state-load', function() {
    var elements = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName('clap-count'));
    var urls = elements.map(function (el) {
      return el.getAttribute("data-url");
    });
    if (urls.length) {
      var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
      request.open('POST', 'https://api.applause-button.com/get-multiple', true);
      request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
      request.responseType = 'json';
      request.addEventListener('load', function() {

              var clapCount = request.response.find(function(e) { return e.url === url; });
