Posts

Here's an overview of posts and how you can get started with integrating them into your applications

A feed is made up of a collection of posts. Users will be able to generate different types of posts as well as to react and comment on posts. SDK provides different builder classes to create each type of post. First, you need to build the post by using one of the builder classes. Then use the instance of AmityFeedRepository to actually create the post. createPost method requires instance of builder, targetId and targetType. TargetType is an enum with two cases, which are user and community.

If you want to create a post on a particular user's feed, you can provide the id of that user for targetId parameter and set the targetType to user. If you want to create a post on your own feed, set targetId to nil. If you want to post on a particular community, then targetType would be community.

A single post can have up to 20,000 characters. For custom post, JSON data must not exceed 100KB in size.
