Steps to edit a post

1. Use the editPost() function provided by the lmFeedClient object created earlier.
2. Create an instance of EditPostRequest, as shown in the snippet and pass it to the above method.
3. Use the response as per your requirement

try {
  const attachments = [];
  const editPostRequest = EditPostRequest.builder()
    .setPostId("<ENTER_POST_ID>") // id of the post to be edited
    .setText("Updated post text") // updated text of the post
    .setAttachments(attachments) // updated attachments of the post
    .setHeading("Heading of the post") // heading of the post
    .setTopicIds("Updated Topic ids") // updated topic ids of the post
    .build();
  const response = await lmFeedClient.editPost(editPostRequest);
  // Use the response as per your requirement.
} catch (error) {
  // Use the error as per your requirement.
}

danger

You must send the text, heading, and attachments as it is if you don't want to update them, otherwise the text, heading, and attachments will be set to empty.

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 EditPostRequest with the topics you have fetched using the getTopics().
