A method to obtain explicit and complete topological solution to \(\text{SU} (2)\) Chern-Simons theory on \(S^3\) is developed. A large class of representations of the generators of the groupoid of coloured-oriented braids are obtained. They provide new link invariants generalizing the Jones polynomial. These new invariants are explicitly calculated as illustrations for knots up to 8 crossings and two-component multicoloured links up to 7 crossings.
