Topic Slider Changes

Description

Fixes the Bug where the Topic's with 0 posts are not shown in the topic slider and the slider is sorted in descending order.

Resolves #256

• Fixes Bug | Topics with 0 posts #241
• Closes Bug | Topics with 0 posts #241

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Changes

• Added a sorting on the TagRouter.get which where the tags now will be fetched and sent in descending order on the basis of posts associated with them.
• In the font-end while fetching the tags using fetch-topic hook a filter has been added which filters the posts and shows only the ones with more than 0 posts.
• To achieve the above the backend now sends 3 objects id, name and count which is the count of the number of posts in each topic. this enables us to filter them and can also be used for implementing other features like topic post count etc. The interface was also modified to accept a count.

Additional Notes

The reason for such is hybrid approach is because when the backend route was implementing the filter to send only topics with > 0 posts other components which are using that route were affected for example the component which lets you select which topic a post should be associated with etc.

I can't seem to find the problem as it's working fine for me. I'm able to filter the tags and show only the ones with posts > 0 and in desending order.
