Return just the number of likes

[franeklubi]

• Return posts' and comments' likes as a number, not an array of likes
• Make an endpoint to fetch users who liked a post
• On the frontend - fetch only the number of likes (for posts and comments), DON'T fetch the users who liked, because there's no view to do that yet

@macbookfilip Hi! how's the work on this issue going?

[macbookfilip]

hallo it's look be fine thanks

[macbookfilip]

hallo, i have question on you. Whoever can like these posts or just only logged user? But I think can be better with logged user. Do you want like and unlike or just like?

[franeklubi]

Looking at the web.php file, You can clearly see that there is an auth guard on the path to the like controller

If You'd look into the like controller, then You would clearly see that the liking of a post/comment is handled already

So: only the logged in users can like posts/comments and the like logic is already handled

Have You used clubi? These questions seem like You've never even used the service You're trying to work on

The issue says that instead of the list of post's/comment's likes, You need to change the code to send just the number of likes

Then You'd need to create an endpoint that will return the list of like objects, so that the service doesn't lose the functionality if someone eventually wants to download the like info
