React native comments is a presentational component for rendering Facebook like comments with likes, reporting, replying, pagination, etc. The pagination and actions are proxied which means you need to have your own pagination and data storage solution and implement action logic (liking, reporting etc).
$ npm install react-native-comments --save
If you dont have the dependency react-native-vector-icons, please make sure you also run:
-
npm install react-native-vector-icons --save -
react-native link
on the terminal and restart your packager. This will add some necessary fonts and Info.plist updates on your xcode project.
You should add scroll to end of comments on succesful save action
Do not update comments if the user is not expecting update. Updating comments could close some modals the user was potentially viewing
Edit, Delete and Report are available on long press on comment container.
