How do I get the current forum view method?

[Mick23]

Is it possible to get the current forum view method (table, fluid etc.) in code?

I notice that the URL to set the method contains these parameters so was hopeful they could be easily retrieved somehow in JS:

do=setMethod&method=fluid

Grab a cookie...

var view = ips.utils.cookie.get('ips4_forum_view');

It's also stored in the database, so using the method is probably better

\IPS\forums\Forum::getMemberListView()

But using Daniel's suggestion you could get the value using that code, add it as a data attribute to something in a template and then grab that using JS code up front. A few more lines of code though.
