Access Post Information
Each post is represented by AmityPost instance. Each instance of AmityPost holds several information such as data, reactions, comments, metadata, child posts, etc. For text posts, you can access the actual data for the post through data property.
Post with images or files follow Parent - Child relationship. Each image or file uploaded will be a separate child post. Any text that you set while creating an image/file post will act as a Parent post. Parent post contains childrenPosts property which gives you an array of AmityPost.
You can access data for child post through the same data property for child post. Alternatively, you can also access more details about uploaded files and images by casting them as FileData, ImageData, and VideoData.
