Comments

Overview

Comments support voting, ranking, threading, images, URL previews, mentions and notifications.

Adding Comments

// Adding a comment to an activity

Removing Comments

try await feed.deleteComment(
    commentId: "comment_123"
)

feed.deleteComment(commentId = "comment_123")

client.deleteComment({
  id: "comment_123",
});

UpdateCommentRequest updateRequest =
    UpdateCommentRequest.builder().comment("Updated comment text from Java SDK").build();

UpdateCommentResponse response =
    feeds.updateComment(commentId, updateRequest).execute().getData();

$response = $this->feedsV3Client->updateComment(
    $commentId,
    new GeneratedModels\UpdateCommentRequest(
        comment: 'Updated comment text from PHP SDK'
    )
);

var response = await _feedsV3Client.UpdateCommentAsync(
    commentId,

        Comment = "Updated comment text from .NET SDK"
    }
);

response = self.client.feeds.update_comment(
    comment_id, comment="Updated comment text from Python SDK"
)

Reading Comments

You’ll also want to show/return these comments. The most important is when reading the feed.

try await feed.getOrCreate()
print(feed.state.activities[0].comments)
// or
let activity = client.activity(
    for: "activity_123",
    in: FeedId(group: "user", id: "john")
)
try await activity.get()
print(activity.state.comments)

feed.getOrCreate()
feed.state.activities.collect { it.first().comments }
// or
val activity = client.activity(
    activityId = "activity_123",
    fid = FeedId(group = "user", id = "john")
)
activity.get()
activity.state.comments

await feed.getOrCreate();

const activity = feed.state.getLatestValue().activities?.[0]!;
// Supported values for sort: first, last, top, controversial, best
// Loads the activity comments (first or next page) and stores them in feed state
await feed.loadNextPageActivityComments(activity, { sort: 'best' });

// To read comments without storing them in feed state
const response = client.getComments({
  object_type: "activity",
  object_id: "123",
  limit: 10,
  sort: "best",
});

const response = feed.getOrCreate({
  user_id: "<user id>",
});

console.log(response.activities[0].comments);

// Or using the getComments endpoint
const comments = await client.feeds.getComments({
  object_type: "activity",
  object_id: "123",
  limit: 10,
  sort: "best",
});

response, err := feedsClient.DeleteComment(ctx, commentID, &getstream.DeleteCommentRequest{
	HardDelete: getstream.PtrTo(false), // soft delete
})

DeleteCommentRequest deleteRequest = DeleteCommentRequest.builder().build();
DeleteCommentResponse response =
    feeds.deleteComment(commentId, deleteRequest).execute().getData();

$response = $this->feedsV3Client->deleteComment($commentId, false); // soft delete

var response = await _feedsV3Client.DeleteCommentAsync(
    commentId,
    new { user_id = _testUserId }
);

response = self.client.feeds.delete_comment(
    comment_id, hard_delete=False
)  # soft delete

Querying Comments

You can also query the comments so you can show all comments for a given activity or user:

// Search in comment texts
let list1 = client.commentList(
    for: .init(
        filter: .query(.commentText, "oat")
    )
)
let comments1 = try await list1.get()

// All comments for an activity
let list2 = client.commentList(
    for: .init(
        filter: .and([
            .equal(.objectId, "activity_123"),
            .equal(.objectType, "activity")
        ])
    )
)
let comments2 = try await list2.get()

// Replies to a parent activity
let list3 = client.commentList(
    for: .init(
        filter: .equal(.parentId, "parent_id")
    )
)
let comments3 = try await list3.get()

// Comments from an user
let list4 = client.commentList(
    for: .init(
        filter: .equal(.userId, "jane")
    )
)
let comments4 = try await list4.get()

// Search in comment texts
val list1 = client.commentList(
    query = CommentsQuery(
        filter = Filters.query("comment_text", "oat")
    )
)
val comments1: Result<List<CommentData>> = list1.get()

// All comments for an activity

        )
    )

    query = CommentsQuery(
        filter = Filters.equal("parent_id", "parent_id")
    )

    )
)

await client.feeds.queryComments({
