Social Plus SDK's comment creation is designed to handle comments efficiently and reliably across your application. Each comment is assigned a unique, immutable commentId, and the SDK includes an optimistic update feature to enhance user experience.
To work with comments, you'll need to use the CommentRepository.
With the SDK's optimistic creation feature, you don’t need to manually create a commentId. Instead, the SDK generates one automatically. However, you must provide the referenceId and referenceType parameters. This feature enables the app to display the comment immediately while assuming it will be successfully added, reducing perceived latency for users.
The referenceType parameter specifies the type of content the comment is associated with. Supported values are:
post: Create a comment on a post.
story: Create a comment on a story.
content: Create a comment on other content types.
The AmityNotificationToken returned by the observeOnceWithBlock: is saved in self.token, a strongly referenced property. This is needed to prevent the observed block from being released.
The parentId parameter in createComment: is optional.
The referenceId parameter in createComment: is mandatory and will only support AmityPost identifier.
Social Plus SDK also allows you to create comments with images. This feature works seamlessly with the SDK’s optimistic creation mechanism, ensuring the same fast and responsive user experience as with text comments.
The referenceType parameter determines the content type the image comment is associated with. Supported values are:
post: Create a comment on a post.
story: Create a comment on a story.
content: Create a comment on other content types.
To create an image comment, you’ll need to:
Upload the image to obtain a fileId.
Provide the fileId in the attachments parameter along with the required referenceId and referenceType.
The SDK automatically generates a unique commentId for the image comment and handles the creation process optimistically.
Users can use a maximum of 10 images per comment.
The supported file types with the image moderation feature is enabled are jpg/jpeg + png.
The supported file types when the image moderation feature is not enabled are jpg/jpeg + webp
The maximum file size per image is 1 GB.
In addition to creating top-level comments, Social Plus SDK enables you to reply to existing comments in addition to creating top-level comments.
To reply to a comment, you must:
Specify the parent comment's commentId using the parentId parameter.
Provide the referenceId, referenceType, and the reply’s text content.
The referenceType parameter also supports replies to comments on stories. To reply to a story comment:
Set referenceType to .story.
Provide the corresponding referenceId for the story.
Similar to top-level comments, replies leverage the SDK's optimistic creation feature. You don’t need to provide a unique commentId for the reply, the SDK generates it automatically while associating it with the parent comment.
