How to charge percentage of transaction cost?

1

Example:

uint public createPostCost = 0.0003 ether;



function createPost(bytes32 _post) 

    public payable {

        require(msg.value >= createPostCost);

        Post memory newPost;

        newPost.post = _post;

    }

Within a discussion forum dapp, the current implementation charges users a set fee per post created. I would like the charge to be dynamic, say 10% of the gas cost of the transaction. Is this possible to implement in the contract? Or is this something for front-end web3 to handle?

Yes, you can let the charge be a function of the gas of the transaction. You would do something like this:

uint256 charge = gasleft() / 10;

This is sensitive and you should know that gasleft() returns the amount of gas available at that point in the execution. Therefore, if you call gasleft() at the beginning of a function, the number will be higher than at the end of the function.

Additionally, someone may send a lot of unnecessary gas, so they could end up paying a lot.

My opinion is that it is best to handle this on the front-end.

Edit

If you are trying to take into account the gasPrice, you can use tx.gasprice. See here for more information.
