Currently, when a user likes a blog post, the API response does not include the updated total number of likes. To enhance user feedback and engagement, and save computing power and cost, the backend should be modified to return the total number of likes for a blog post whenever a new like is added. This update will allow the frontend to display the updated like count immediately after the action is performed, improving the overall user experience.
Expected Behavior
