I'm addressing an issue with the 'remove like' functionality.
async removeUserLike(userId, postId) { try { console.log(userId, postId); const searchLikedUser = await this.getAllByQueries( [Query.equal("post_id", postId), Query.equal("user_id", userId)], config.appwriteLikeId );
TypeScript
if(searchLikedUser.documents.length > 0){
const user = searchLikedUser.documents[0].$id;
return await this.databases.deleteDocument(
config.appwriteDatabaseId,
config.appwriteLikeId,
user
);
}
console.log("liked id removed successfully");
} catch (error) {
console.log("Error while removing like:", error.message);
}
}
TL;DR
Developers are facing issues with the 'remove like' functionality on appwrite. The solution involves fetching the current likes, identifying the like to be removed, and pushing the updated data back. It was noted that appwrite does not support updating array attributes directly. A code adjustment was suggested to improve the removal process.
some adjustment
TypeScript
async removeUserLike(userId, postId) {
try {
console.log(userId, postId);
const searchLikedUser = await this.getAllByQueries(
[
Query.equal("post_id", postId),
Query.equal("user_id", userId)
],
config.appwriteLikeId
);
if (searchLikedUser.documents.length > 0) {
const user = searchLikedUser.documents[0].$id;
await this.databases.deleteDocument(
config.appwriteDatabaseId,
config.appwriteLikeId,
user
);
console.log("liked id removed successfully");
return true; // To confirm the action was successful.
} else {
console.log("No like found for the user and post.");
return false; // Indicates that no like existed.
}
} catch (error) {
console.log("Error while removing like:", error.message);
}
}
I had a look at the code, and it seems like the flow should work, but I'm wondering what specific issue you're encountering¿
When i want to remove the likes from appwrite, it doesn't remove at all
As far as I know, appwrite doesn't support updating array attributes directly.
typically, you would need to fetch the current likes, perform the necessary operations (like removing the desired like), and then push the updated data back to the document
