Create And Update Comments

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

Create a comment​

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

const substrateApi = await api.substrateApi

substrateApi.tx.posts.createPost(spaceIdOpt, { Π‘omment }, IpfsContent("CID of your content"))
PropertiesDescription
parentId?ID of the post or comment that was replied to.

Comments directly under a post will have the same parentId and rootPostId.

const cid = await api.ipfs.saveContent({
  body: 'Keep up the good work!'
})

const substrateApi = await api.substrateApi
