Hello
I wanna to create a logic for like/dislike buttons
After watching some materials about this feature I understood I need to create a pivot table, but I am not sure If there an opportunity create one table for those 2 buttons
Should I create two separate pivot tables: recipe_likes & recipe_dislikes OR recipe_socials (with likes and dislikes inside)?
Would be grateful for your help
In a simple recipe_likes table, you can create these fields.
Don't create two tables, it will be complex to extract any statistics about how many likes and dislikes has a recipe.
You should move your post to the General channel, it's not a Livewire problem.
@vincent15000 Thanks I am actually using this solution right now
I have updated my post
Best regards
@Dmytro_Shved You should use a tiny integer column, and then 1 for likes or -1 for dislikes. That way, you can get the overall sentiment by summing the values.
@martinbean Effectively with 1 and -1 it allowes to do a count of likes vs dislike directly.
@Dmytro_Shved Happy to help.
