|
## 📊 Database Setup (Likes/Dislikes Feature)
|
|
|
|
The portfolio includes a post feedback system allowing visitors to like or dislike blog posts. This feature requires a PostgreSQL database to store vote data. This guide explains how to set it up using [Neon.tech](https://neon.tech).
|
|
|
|
### Setting Up Neon.tech Database
|
|
|
|
1. **Create a Neon.tech Account**
|
|
- Go to [Neon.tech](https://neon.tech) and sign up for an account
|
|
- Neon offers a generous free tier suitable for personal portfolio sites
|
|
|
|
2. **Create a New Project**
|
|
- From the Neon dashboard, click "New Project"
|
|
- Choose a name for your project (e.g., "portfolio-feedback")
|
|
- Select the closest region to your target audience
|
|
- Click "Create Project"
|
|
|
|
3. **Get Connection Details**
|
|
- In your project dashboard, find the connection string under "Connection Details"
|
|
- Save this connection string as you'll need it for your environment variables
|
|
|
|
4. **Set Environment Variables**
|
|
- Create a `.env` file in your project root (if not already present)
|
|
- Add your database connection string:
|
|
```
|
|
DATABASE_URL=your_neon_connection_string_here
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Database Schema Setup
|
|
|
|
Run the following SQL queries in the Neon SQL Editor to create the necessary tables for the feedback system:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE TABLE post_feedback (
|
|
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
|
|
post_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
|
|
likes INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
|
|
dislikes INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
|
|
CONSTRAINT unique_post_id UNIQUE (post_id)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
CREATE TABLE post_likes (
|
|
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
|
|
post_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
|
|
fingerprint_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
|
|
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
|
|
CONSTRAINT unique_like UNIQUE (post_id, fingerprint_id)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
CREATE TABLE post_dislikes (
|
|
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
|
|
post_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
|
|
fingerprint_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
|
|
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
|
|
CONSTRAINT unique_dislike UNIQUE (post_id, fingerprint_id)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
CREATE INDEX idx_post_feedback_post_id ON post_feedback (post_id);
|
|
CREATE INDEX idx_post_likes_post_id_fingerprint ON post_likes (post_id, fingerprint_id);
|
|
CREATE INDEX idx_post_dislikes_post_id_fingerprint ON post_dislikes (post_id, fingerprint_id);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How the Feedback System Works
|
|
|
|
The feedback system consists of three tables:
|
|
- `post_feedback`: Stores aggregate counts of likes and dislikes for each post
|
|
- `post_likes`: Records individual like actions with fingerprint IDs to prevent duplicate votes
|
|
- `post_dislikes`: Records individual dislike actions with fingerprint IDs
|
|
|
|
### API Implementation
|
|
|
|
The portfolio includes API endpoints for handling likes and dislikes:
|
|
|
|
1. **Fetching Post Feedback**
|
|
- GET request to `/api/like/{postId}` returns current like/dislike counts
|
|
|
|
2. **Submitting Likes**
|
|
- POST request to `/api/like/{postId}` with fingerprint ID in the request body
|
|
- The system checks if the user has already liked/disliked the post
|
|
- If not, a like is recorded and the count is updated
|
|
|
|
3. **Submitting Dislikes**
|
|
- POST request to `/api/dislike/{postId}` works similarly to the like endpoint
|
|
- Prevents duplicate votes from the same visitor
|
|
|
|
### Working with the Database
|
|
|
|
When a new blog post is created:
|
|
- No manual database entry is needed
|
|
- The first like/dislike action will automatically create the entry in `post_feedback`
|
|
|
|
To reset likes for a post:
|
|
```sql
|
|
DELETE FROM post_likes WHERE post_id = 'your-post-id';
|
|
DELETE FROM post_dislikes WHERE post_id = 'your-post-id';
|
|
UPDATE post_feedback SET likes = 0, dislikes = 0 WHERE post_id = 'your-post-id';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To view post statistics:
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT * FROM post_feedback ORDER BY likes DESC;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To find which posts a specific user has interacted with:
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT post_id FROM post_likes WHERE fingerprint_id = 'specific-fingerprint-id';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you encounter issues with the feedback system:
|
|
|
|
1. **Check Environment Variables**
|
|
- Ensure your `.env` file contains the correct `DATABASE_URL`
|
|
|
|
2. **Verify Database Connection**
|
|
- Add logging to your database connection code to check for errors
|
|
- Make sure your Neon.tech project is active and not in suspended state
|
|
|
|
3. **Check for Errors in Console**
|
|
- The feedback component logs errors that can help diagnose issues
|
|
|
|
4. **Reset User Vote State**
|
|
- Users can clear their localStorage to reset their voting state:
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// In browser console
|
|
localStorage.clear()
|
|
```
