Create And Update Comments

This section covers how to create and update comments on the Subsocial blockchain.

Post methods are used for comments.

Create a comment

import { getSubstrateApi } from '@subsocial/api'

import { IpfsContent } from '@subsocial/types/substrate/classes'

const substrateApi = getSubstrateApi({ endpoint: substrateUrl })

substrateApi.tx.posts.createPost(spaceIdOpt, { Сomment }, IpfsContent("CID of your content"))

🅸 Comment

parentId?	ID of the post or comment that was replied to.

import { IpfsContent } from "@subsocial/types/substrate/classes"

...

const cid = await ipfs.saveContent({

body: 'Keep up the good work!'

})

const tx = substrateApi.tx.posts.createPost('1', { Comment: { parentId: null, rootPostId: '1'}}, IpfsContent(cid))

Create a reply to a comment
