Today, I will report on our second app development progress! We are way further ahead now so we had to dig deep for our scarce archived pictures and videos for our past progress.
So instead of a simplified user interface of our pages compared to our first app development post. We had work slightly on our CSS styling to make sure that it is presentable for our interim VIVA presentation to thee lecturers. I had to worked on this before our UI/UX Designer & also a Programmer join me on this journey.
After we had gotten our POST API working just right to send data of texts and pictures over to our database. We went on working on the likes and comments.
This was one of the most challenging journey after the most tendinous Camera-Photos uploading to the server.
WHY?
For likes, it involves the changing of like to unlike button and likewise. Without the use of jQuery it is hard to toggle the change. So how I resolve this is to use a condition with Angular to change between the 2 buttons whenever they met the condition.
As for comments, it is much easier, it only involve the GET and POST API to send and retrieve comments.
But another common problem for both like and comment feature is the updating of the counter. As we can't just refresh the page to update the counter, we have to add the number in manually to the displayed current counter.
And so, the tough journey in building the likes and comments is finally over after few days of thinking and working.
Thank you for reading!
