Complete solution - reactjs

I use the <NotificationDropdown notify /> React component to get rendender a notification feed, but when I create comment, like or post reactions, the notification feed stays empty. Please help me solution this problem.

Reactions by default don't get posted to any feed. They are only attached to the activity. If you want to post an activity to a feed when creating a reaction you need to use the targetFeeds.
So in your case you probably want to do something like:
client.reactions.add(
"like",
activity.id,
{},
{targetFeeds: ["notification:" + activity.actor.id]
)

Store data in discord message for button component

I want to make a simple bot that does some things when someone clicks a list item.
To make this possible I need to store the list item's id in the message. I didn't see any ways to store data in a message without showing it, so I added it to the footer and when the button triggers it gets the first embed's footer in the interaction's message.
My problem with this solution is that it looks bad.
Collectors are not an option because these list items are sent to a channel once when the channel is created, and if the bot restarts the collectors won't trigger.
How would you guys solve this?
Thanks!
Okay I solved this. I don't know how I've never thought of this before.
Basically I created a table in my database that has 2 columns:
discord message id
data
When I send the message to the channel I just store the data with the message's id. When the user clicks the button I just retrieve the data by the message id.

Use query string in URL or use multiple URL?

If I want to display many posts in my web application but every post have its own type and I want to display each type in single page so, What's the best method to do that? Is put all all posts in one url and use query string to filter the posts upon the type and display it in the page?
For example : axios.get('/posts?type =sport')
Or I have to put every single type in separate Url
For example: axios.get('/posts/sport')
Also one more question please?
use one reducer to manage every posts or create one reducer for each post type?
you can add a dynamic route to every new type.
Ex:
'/transaction' -> component-1
'/transaction/:type' -> component-any (multiple)
welcome to Stackoverflow!
I can imagine you have a web API of some sort serving a URL /posts. You want to consume that endpoint from your web application, and you are using axios to do that. I can assume you are using JSON to return that data. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Now that the basic information is "clear", what data you serve from the endpoint, and how it is requested from the client is up to you. Do you want to ask the server what types are there first, and then do one AJAX request per type? Ok. Do you want to serve all posts independent of their type? Ok. Do you want to accept POST data in your controller so you can filter the results before returning a response? Ok.
If you are looking for a more specific answer, you must give more details, or specify more. But I hope I could be of help.
Edit: complete answer.
If you want to filter the results, you have to send some additional data in your POST request, in this case, your post type. In axios, this could be done like this:
axios.post('https://example.com/posts', {
type: 'sports'
}).then((data) => {
console.log(data);
});
You can obviously get the "type" value from a select input, other variable, even the current router page. I don't know your exact setup, but you can always come back and ask ;)
THEN, in your API controller you have to get that POST parameter type, and use it to filter the results. Again, I don't know your exact setup, but for MySQL if would be a WHERE statement in your query, or similar.

How to modify firebase database so that i can set a read or unread status

I need to show the count of unread messages from firebase in the notification bell.
I am done with displaying all contents in my collection in my web application.But when a new message arrives i need to give a feedback to user by showing the unread message count in notification bell .From my understanding,for that i need to set a read/unread status in firebase collection.Is there any alternative way for showing the count of unread messages in my React Web Application?
i am using firebase package of npm for displaying messages.
Below is the sample data in my firebase collection.
name:"John Doe",
message:"you got a new appointment"
i am new to firebase.Please help me with some logic to sort out this problem.
If I understand correctly, you would want to use a status flag (read: boolean), unless you would not mind writing all new messages to a particular path and moving them to another path after it is read.
Something like below
/user/unread-msg => all new messages come here
/user/read-msg => messages are moved here after being read.
This I believe would be less efficient than using a simple flag.
You could use a firebase cloud function to maintain the count of child elements in a particular path like /user/unread-msg or /user/read-msg so that you don't have to download the entire data to get the count.
Refer the sample code at https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/master/child-count

RestFB get Reactions on a Url

I see that RestFB has added access to Reactions in the Post, Photo and Video objects, but it does not seem to have access from a Url. What would be the best way to get the Reactions on a Url? Do I need to call the Graph API directly?
RestFB does not support reactions on open graph objects. So you should call the opengraph id as you mentioned in the comment above and work with the fetchConnection call. As Type you should use Reactions.ReactionItem.
Connection<Reactions.ReactionItem> con =
client.fetchConnection("<ogid>/reactions", Reactions.ReactionItem.class);
I think this should work. The code is untested ;)

Watson Dialog does not recognize continuation of conversation

When trying to use the Dialog tool to get a feel for how the APIs work, I ran into a problem where a POST to /conversation creates a new conversation, instead of continuing an existing one. I am using the docs found at : http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/developercloud/dialog/api/v1/
An initial POST returns a conversation and client id, but subsequent requests with those values added, along with an input value, just return information for a new conversation. Are these docs inaccurate?
Here is a screenshot from one of my many attempts at getting this to work. The client and connection IDs are from a previous POST to /conversation

Thanks for your help!
Your first call to Converse you should not specify the conversation ID. Dialog will return a conversation ID with the first response.
You then use that ID going forward to maintain the conversation. It is unclear if you are doing this in the example above.
It turns out I was using the incorrect encoding for the conversation / client ID's and input. Watson expects the form values to be URL encoded. Once I made that change, the problem was resolved.
Thanks to everyone who offered their time and help!
