Love Like Dislike API and Javascript

Working Example Full Page

You can check it out below, just include the script and it records the details based on the current URL. 

Love Like API Demo

Quick Embed

Add this to the page where you would like the icons and likes to appear. 

HTML

<div id="love_like">&nbsp;</div><script src="https://api.kruxor.com/js/lovelike.js"></script>

 

The Idea

An API that allows a url to have love, like or dislike's attached to it. 

Quite simple layout. 

url, love_num, like_num, dislike_num

then have a way to send the nums, and update the buttons with the number. 

just include a script on the page and it will do the rest, show the buttons, and current stats. 

Demo

Structure

Script

/js/lovelike.js

This script needs to, write to the page the love, like dislike buttons.

allow turning on and off of buttons

send click data to the api, will need a way of updating this via php callback via ajax.

load the existing values from the api data for the url

Get the Icons

Try icons from : https://heroicons.com/

Write the buttons to the page

/* draw the buttons on the page */
/* <div id="love_like">&nbsp;</div> */
function kx_draw_buttons() {
  var kx_buttons = `<style>.kx-buttons {
    padding:10px;
    border-radius:5px;
    background:#000;
    position:absolute;
  }
  </style>
  <div class='kx-buttons'>

  </div>`;
  document.getElementById("love_like").innerHTML = kx_buttons;
}
window.onload = function() {
  kx_draw_buttons();
}

Include Test Script

<div id="love_like">&nbsp;</div><script src="https://api.kruxor.com/js/lovelike.js"></script>

Just adding text to start with, with the values.

Love: 0 Like: 0 Dislike: 0

Then attach click events to each item, to allow a callback to the api to write the data back to the database. 

Testing here: https://kruxor.com/view/code/OSUTE/test-love-like-dislike-script-from-api/ 

Read and Write Class Values

Add a php script that loads the love like class and allows reading and writing to it. 

callback.php

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set( 'display_errors','1');

/* accept callbacks for api js's */

/* ?class=love_like&calltype=read

https://api.kruxor.com/callback.php?class=love_like&calltype=read
https://api.kruxor.com/callback.php?class=love_like&love=1&like=0&dislike=0&url=test

Allowed Vars
class = love_like
calltype = write, read ?? does need this? prob not.

*/

if(!isset($_GET['class'])) {
  return false;
} else {
  // only allow certain classes to be called, otherwise anything can be written...
  $class = $_GET['class'];
  // add additional allowed classes here...
  if($class === "love_like") {
    // add additional classes to this if...
  } else {
    return false;
  }
}

/*
if(!isset($_GET['calltype'])) {
  return false;
} else {
  $calltype = $_GET['calltype'];
}
*/

// try and start the class with no global inc
include("class/core.class.php");
include("class/functions.class.php");
include("class/db.class.php"); // ???

// start required classes. 
$functions = new functions;

// check if the class exists for $class extend load.
$class_file_name = "class/extends/" . $class . ".extend.php";
if(file_exists($class_file_name)) {
  include($class_file_name);
} else {
  return false;
}

$class_start = new $class;
$class_start->start();

if($class === "love_like") {

  if(isset($_GET['url'])) {
    $url = $_GET['url'];
  } else {
    return false; // need a url to continue
  }
  if(isset($_GET['love'])) {
    $love = $_GET['love'];
    // these must equal 1 only
    if($love > 1) {
      return;
    }
  } else {
    $love = 0;
  }
  if(isset($_GET['like'])) {
    $like = $_GET['like'];
    if($like > 1) {
      return;
    }
  } else {
    $like = 0;
  }
  if(isset($_GET['dislike'])) {
    $dislike = $_GET['dislike'];
    if($dislike > 1) {
      return;
    }
  } else {
    $dislike = 0;
  }

  // load from any match url.
  $fields_array = [
    "url" => $url,
  ];
  if($class_start->load_from_fields_array($fields_array, $max = 1)) {
    // we have a record and its loaded, otherwise add it.
    $class_start->love = $class_start->love + $love;
    $class_start->like = $class_start->like + $like;
    $class_start->dislike = $class_start->dislike + $dislike;
    $class_start->update();
  } else {
    $class_start->url = $url;
    $class_start->love = 0 + $love;
    $class_start->like = 0 + $like;
    $class_start->dislike = 0 + $dislike;
    $class_start->add();
  }

  // return this data as an array that can be used to update the page.

 

}


echo $class_start->nice_name;

 

?>

Callback is now writing data, just needs to return something useful.

Result

Test and Working Demo

Testing, and now its working... yay.

Still To Add

Styles, and maybe stop it at one click, rather than it sending back over and over again, when each element is clicked. 

Working

Now just add this to any page and you can record love, like and dislike ratings...

      <style>.kx-buttons {text-align:right;margin-bottom:10px;}</style>
      <div id="love_like">&nbsp;</div><script src="https://api.kruxor.com/js/lovelike.js"></script>

Random CSS Property

<display-outside>

The <display-outside> keywords specify the element's outer display type, which is essentially its role in flow layout. These keywords are used as values of the display property, and can be used for legacy purposes as a single keyword, or as defined in the Level 3 specification alongside a value from the <display-inside> keywords.
