How to create a Counter
hey guys, i have this project where user create a post and users can like a post, but now, i cant seem to be able to count the number of likes, it seem like Appwrite did not provide the option to actually count attribute or document
please guys, how do i do this??
TL;DR
Developers are asking for help on how to count the number of likes in a post using Appwrite. They mention that Appwrite does not provide an option to count attributes or documents. One suggestion is to move the counting up logic into a function. Another suggestion is to create another collection called "likes" with a relationship to each post using a unique key composed of the user ID and post ID. No solution is provided in the thread.
For that the best way would be to move the counting up logic into a function
And, if you don't want same user like more than once, then you'll be best creating another collection named likes with relationship to the each post with unique key composed from user id and post id.
