Hi guys, I was wondering about the best approach for “Likes” of a Comment of Comments on a Post of Posts :smiley: , So here is the scenario: My app will have posts created by users, each post will have a comments section, and I want my users to be able to reply and like “if they wish to” each com…

@cmarchan I think @TipLister is providing the same advice you have in the past. I do remember there was a thread we were both part of not too long ago, in which I indicated I’d reach out to Bubble support to get an answer to the question in order to put it to rest. In that thread I posted what Bubbl…

Hello @ahmed.khodeir.87 [image] +1 Like and upvote buttons - The fastest method Tips Fair enough +1:t2 May I suggest creating an object called like with two text fields. One for the unique ID of the object being liked and one for the user who liked it. Yes y…

Hi @cmarchan , I have visited this post earlier, and basically, it represents option (b.), but what is confusing me is why you made it as Post ID (type text) and User ID (type text)? , why not Post (type Post) and User (type User)? Please correct me if I am wrong.

as a user and post loads all the data of every user (eg their profile pic, birthdate, list of hobbies) or post whereas the id is just text ie much less data to load.

@boston85719 @TipLister nailed it :smiley: [image] TipLister: as a user and post loads all the data of every user (eg their profile pic, birthdate, list of hobbies) or post whereas the id is just text ie much less data to load.

Wow, didn’t know that we can actually do that, let me test it out today and see how it goes, I will update you or ask for help once I am done, Thanks a million guys!

Hi there @TipLister & @cmarchan , One more question doesn’t bubble.io only load the unique ids when we use the user as a (user type)? which is basically a text? which means that it loads only text (user id of data type text)? am I getting it wrong?

Thanks, @boston85719 for your detailed feedback and simple yet comprehensive guidance! my research confirms what you have mentioned, which is great, yet that means I will spend more days restructuring my DB :smiley: Thanks a lot again for you all @boston85719 & @cmarchan & @TipLister , your feedb…

@boston85719 This is a gold nugget of a post! I appreciate the time you gifted us with researching and taking us through this topic. I will ensure to incorporate into my projects, and share with other Bubblers, the teachings of this valuable guide going forward! Thank you! :smiley:

hey all, wrote this up to share with Airdev’s partners and thought i’d share here for the community as well. in the video below i demonstrate how you can test and verify this behavior with the Chrome Devtools (or any browser’s developer tools). one thing to note is that the nested data, if used b…

Hey Chris! Thanks for the video. Very insightful! Thinking through this … it seems that it is not a straightforward approach to do one or the other (storing a uid text vs an object). Both can work depending on the context. In a scenario where the separate api call is done … it may be better to st…
