Respost Issue

[rlee1990]

I have a question. I am trying to do a repost/share as Facebook and Twitter do but when I use the code below I have issues. The activity is not copied to the target feed just the reaction does and not even the data that is added to the reaction.

streamClient!.reactions.add(
                                              'share', widget.post.id!,
                                              userId: streamClient
                                                  .currentUser!.userId,
                                              data: {
                                                'id': widget.post.id!,
                                              },
                                              targetFeeds: [
                                                feed.FeedId(
                                                    'user',
                                                    streamClient
                                                        .currentUser!.userId)
                                              ]);

@sachaarbonel do you have any ideas on this?

[sachaarbonel]

Can you expand on what you are trying to achieve? Add a count on the number of shares?
Also, what is your getEnrichedActivities query? Have you tried to add flags like flags: EnrichmentFlags().withOwnReactions()?

[rlee1990]

The idea would be to achieve what Facebook and Twitter and others do for a retweet or repost. The support team sent me what I added above but when I add the reaction to the person that pressed the share buttons feed it really does not provide any useful information it doesn't even have the reaction data.

[sachaarbonel]

Oh I see, this currently being worked on as we speak but basically in a nutshell (trying to peel the layers for you):
to get the reaction counts:

stream-feed-flutter/packages/stream_feed_flutter/lib/src/widgets/buttons/reaction.dart

Line 41 in a315369

count: reaction?.childrenCounts?[kind] ?? activity.reactionCounts?[kind],

to know if the user has already reacted:

stream-feed-flutter/packages/stream_feed_flutter/lib/src/widgets/buttons/reaction.dart

Lines 42 to 43 in a315369

	ownReactions:
	reaction?.ownChildren?[kind] ?? activity.ownReactions?[kind],

stream-feed-flutter/packages/stream_feed_flutter/lib/src/widgets/buttons/reaction.dart

Lines 95 to 96 in a315369

	reactionsKind = widget.ownReactions?.filterByKind(widget.kind);
	alreadyReacted = reactionsKind?.isNotEmpty != null;

based on that information we know if we should add or remove that reaction kind and wich icon we should display (repost, comment or heart for example)

stream-feed-flutter/packages/stream_feed_flutter/lib/src/widgets/buttons/reaction.dart

Line 116 in a315369

alreadyReacted ? await removeReaction() : await addReaction();

for a repost reaction, "kind" being "repost"

stream-feed-flutter/packages/stream_feed_flutter/lib/src/widgets/buttons/repost.dart

Line 38 in a315369

kind: 'repost',

you can then fetch your enriched activities like this for example (feedGroup here is the slug, for example user, etc)

stream-feed-flutter/packages/stream_feed_flutter/lib/src/widgets/feeds/flat.dart

Line 28 in a315369

.getEnrichedActivities(feedGroup: feedGroup),

[rlee1990]

@sachaarbonel I think the issue is getting the activity as I already have the counts and added reactions but when I do this:

streamClient!.reactions.add(
                                              'share', widget.post.id!,
                                              userId: streamClient
                                                  .currentUser!.userId,
                                              data: {
                                                'id': widget.post.id!,
                                              },
                                              targetFeeds: [
                                                feed.FeedId(
                                                    'user',
                                                    streamClient
                                                        .currentUser!.userId)
                                              ]);

When trying to get the feed I have it set like this:

widget.streamClient!
        .flatFeed('user', widget.uid)
        .getEnrichedActivities(
            limit: 100,
            offset: 0,
            flags: EnrichmentFlags()
                .withReactionCounts()
                .withOwnReactions()
                .withRecentReactions()
                .withOwnChildren())

But the reaction is only there not the repost and the data that was added to the reaction is not there.

[sachaarbonel]

What do you mean by the reaction is only there not the repost? As I understand the reaction is the repost.
Also, could you share some logs?

[rlee1990]

@sachaarbonel This is all that shows in the user feed for the person that reposted an activity

[rlee1990]

Notice how on my reaction I even add data but its not there:

streamClient!.reactions.add(
                                              'share', widget.post.id!,
                                              userId: streamClient
                                                  .currentUser!.userId,
                                              data: {
                                                'id': widget.post.id!,
                                              },
                                              targetFeeds: [
                                                feed.FeedId(
                                                    'user',
                                                    streamClient
                                                        .currentUser!.userId)
                                              ]);

[sachaarbonel]

It works in my case, try to remove targetFeeds and let me know what you get

[rlee1990]

But then that defeats the point of a repost won't it. How will we get the activity?
Here is what I am trying to do.
User A adds a post to their user feed. The post shows on User B's timeline feed. User B clicks share or repost then the post from User B's timeline is added as an activity to User B's user feed and will show up on any feeds that follow User B's user feed.

[rlee1990]

@sachaarbonel I hope that helps

[rlee1990]

I think I see what is happening @sachaarbonel it looks like the post ID is added to the object field. I am trying to use that as a work around I will give that a go.

[sachaarbonel]

Thanks for elaborating on this. I shared your issue with a member of the react team I'll get back to you when I have more input on this

[rlee1990]

I got it to work it's odd but when I get the object for the reaction it then returns the whole post @sachaarbonel thanks for the help it got me to this. If the react team has a better approach I am all for it.
