Create Post

Allows users to compose and publish new posts within the application, facilitating content creation and user-generated interactions.

Steps to create a post

1. Create a AddPostRequest object using AddPostRequest.builder() class by passing all the required parameters.
2. Call addPost() function using the instance of LMFeedClient.
3. Process the response LMResponse<AddPostResponse> as per your requirement.

// object of AddPostRequest
let request = AddPostRequest.builder()
                    .text("post content") // post text content
                    .attachments(attachments) // media content attached in the post
                    .tempId(ENTER_TEMP_ID) // temporary id of the post
                    .heading("Heading of the post") // heading of the post
                    .build()
LMFeedClient.shared.addPost(request) { [weak self] response in
    // response (LMResponse<AddPostResponse>)
    if (response.success) {
        // your function to process the response data
        processResponse(response.data)
    } else {
        // your function to process error message
        processError(response.errorMessage)
    }
}

note

You cannot create an empty post. Send data in atleast one of the two keys, text or attachments

Additional Features

Tag a User

To tag a user, use the getTaggingList() function to fetch the list of users that can be tagged, and use the format <<[user.name]|route://user_profile/[user.sdkClientInfo.uuid]>> to embed it inside the text of the post.

Decode URL

To decode a URL, use the decodeUrl() function to decode a URL and get its OGTags. Use those to add an attachment of type 4.

Add a Topic

Topics are keywords related to a post, they can be considered having the same use case as hashtags. You can add a topic to the post by sending the topicIds list in the AddPostRequest with the topics you have fetched using the getTopics().
