Rails API like or unlike? ??

?? Have you ever wondered how to add a "like" button to your Rails API ? ??

It's actually pretty easy! You just need to add a new route to your routes.rb file and a new controller action to handle the "like" action. Here's an example of what that might look like:

In this example, we're defining a new like route that operates on a specific instance of a Post (identified by its id). We're then defining a new controller action that creates a new Like record for the current user and the specified post. Finally, we're returning a JSON response that includes a "like" message with a thumbs-up emoji.

On the front end, you can use Axios to send a POST request to this route when the user clicks the "like" button. Here's an example:

In this example, we're using Axios to send a POST request to the like route for the specified post ID. We're also setting the Authorization header to include the authentication token from a cookie. When the request is successful, we log the "like" message with a thumbs-up emoji to the console.

That's it! With just a few lines of code, you can add a "like" button to your Rails app. ??
