Feed

Feeds are a new way for users to create content on various areas of the SDK.
Currently, users and groups can have feeds. Each feed consists of a collection of posts. Users are able to create posts on any group that they are a member of and any user that they can find.
There is also a global feed which is an aggregate of all the posts in a user's feeds.
Feed management methods are all contained in a FeedRepository class.
import { FeedRepository } from 'eko-sdk';
Query User Feed
You can get any user's feed by calling the method below with the userId:
const liveFeed = FeedRepository.getUserFeed({
    userId: 'user1'
});
​
liveFeed.once('dataUpdated', models => {
 //
});
There is also a quick easy method to get your own feed:
const liveFeed = FeedRepository.getMyFeed();
​
liveFeed.once('dataUpdated', models => {
 //
});
Query Group Feed
You can get any group's feed by calling the method below with the communityId:
const liveFeed = FeedRepository.getCommunityFeed({
    communityId: 'community1',
});
​
liveFeed.once('dataUpdated', models => {
 //
});
Query Global Feed
You can retrieve your global feed by calling the following method:
const liveFeed = FeedRepository.getGlobalFeed();
​
liveFeed.once('dataUpdated', models => {
 //
});
Post Repository
A feed is made up of a collection of posts. Users are able to generate different types of posts as well as be able to react and comment on posts using PostRepository.
import { PostRepository } from 'eko-sdk';
Create a Text Post
When creating a text post, calling the following method:
import { EkoPostTargetType, PostRepository } from 'eko-sdk';
​
const post = PostRepository.createTextPost({
  targetId: 'user1',
  targetType: EkoPostTargetType.UserFeed,
  text: 'hello!',
})
Create an Image Post
import { EkoPostTargetType, PostRepository } from 'eko-sdk';
​
const post = PostRepository.createImagePost({
  targetId: 'user1',
  targetType: EkoPostTargetType.CommunityFeed,
  imageIds: ['image1'], // max: 10
})
Create a File Post
import { EkoPostTargetType, PostRepository } from 'eko-sdk';
​
const post = PostRepository.createFilePost({
  targetId: 'group1',
  targetType: EkoPostTargetType.CommunityFeed,
  fileIds: ['file1'], // max: 10
})
Note. A post can consist of either a list of images or a list of files but not both.
Create a Custom Post
If text, image, files type posts are not enough for you, you can create your own type with whatever data you need for rendering. To do this, you need to call PostRepository.createPost and pass dataType, a string that defines the type of the post so you can distinguish your new post from others, and data, an object containing whatever data you need for your post. 
import { EkoPostTargetType, PostRepository } from 'eko-sdk';
​
const post = PostRepository.createPost({
  targetId: 'group1',
  targetType: EkoPostTargetType.CommunityFeed,
  dataType: 'birthdayPost',
  data: {
    userId: '123',
    birthdayMessage: 'Happy Birthday, dear user 123',
  },
})
Get Post
You can use the postForId() method in order to get a single post:
const post = PostRepository.postForId('post123');
Delete Post
const post = PostRepository.deletePost('post123');
Note. Only the post owner or an admin are able to delete a post.
Note. Only the post owner or an admin are able to update a post.
Update Post
const post = PostRepository.updatePost({
    postId: 'post123',
    data: { text: 'hello!'},
});
Add Reaction
You can add a reaction to a post by calling the following method:
const result = PostRepository.addReaction({
    postId: 'post123',
    reactionName: 'like',
});
Remove Reaction
const result = PostRepository.removeReaction({
    postId: 'post123',
    reactionName: 'like',
});
Add Comment
You can also add a comment to a post using our Comment feature:
const commentLiveObject = CommentRepository.createTextComment({
  referenceType: 'post',
  referenceId: 'post123',
  text: 'Hi!',
});
