Like Comments - functionality

[akibria-dev]

Requirements

• any user can like or (remove a like) from a comment
• a user can only like if they have not liked that comment
• a user can one dislike if they have liked that comment already

UI Approach

Code structure

• The code for the component will be live in the CommentLikes.js file in the folder: /src/components/comments
• Likes are stored in array of userid in side the comment object.
• amount of the numbers of likes is the total length of the array

Wireframe

The wireframe doesn't exist for this yet

UI Functionality

• Getting all comment likes: fetch a GET request to {{ _.base_url }}/posts/commentLike using client.js
• Liking a comment: fetch a POST request to {{ _.base_url }}/posts/9/comment/13/commentLike using client.js
• Unliking a comment: fetch a POST request to {{ _.base_url }}/posts/9/comment/12/commentLike with the following

Can you detail what DATA you will send to the API ENDPOINT and what API ENDPOINT you'll use to add/remove the likes?

The current API does not really do what you think: it doesn't store a list of userIds that liked a comment, it is slightly different to this. Unliking requires finding the Like object and marking it as unliked.
