XF 2.2 Is there a similar variable

[MesterPerfect]

In XenForo there is a variable to fetch all user posts
$user.message_count|number
But why isn't there a variable to fetch all user threads
$user.thread_count|number

IIRC thread count is not stored. @Lawrence has a thread count addon (paid) for users membercard/profile, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/eae-add-ons-thread-count.7615/

Depending on where you want to fetch this info, you should be able to use:
$this->repository('XF:Thread')->findThreadsStartedByUser($user.user_id)->total();
If you plan to use it a lot then you'll have to cache it, otherwise above mentioned add-on looks good.

I was planning to use it like this

<xf:if is="$extras.thread_count">
<dl class="pairs pairs--justified">
<dt>{{ phrase('threads') }}</dt>
<dd>{$user.thread_count|number}</dd>
</dl>
</xf:if>

The question is where and how often.
Seems like you want to fetch the info often so you'll either have to write your own code to keep track of the count or use Lawrence's add-on as Ozzy47 suggested.

That's right, I'll need it a lot, so I'll use the add-on
