Hello list, I’m trying to build something like facebooks "like“ into my app so that users can press „like“ on any entity in the activity feed. I want to show the count of likes next to the like button and also need to know if the current user likes a certain entity. Of course I know that i have to connect the entities „user“ and „activityEntity“ via „like“. I also know how to get all the connected users via „like“ connection.
To see if the user likes some entity I just try to get the connection between the two and see if it returns the users entity. To get the like count I get all the connected users and count them. on device. I didn’t find any other way of doing this. Am I missing something? It seems odd to me, to ask for all the connections all the time, for every entry in a tableView in a newsfeed like fb… just to get counts and if-is-connected. How could I go about this? Thanks!
