Like Button

This component is used to display a like button. It has two parts, the actual button and a container that works with the LikeStore. For most usage, the container is the easiest route.

How to use the container

import LikeButtonContainer from 'calypso/blocks/like-button';

function render() {
    return (
        <div className="your-stuff">
            <LikeButtonContainer siteId={ 66775168 } postId={ 643 } />
        </div>
    );
}

Props

• siteId: number, a site ID to fetch likes for
• postId: number, a post ID to fetch likes for

How to use the button directly

import LikeButton from 'calypso/blocks/like-button/button';

function render() {
    return (
        <div className="your-stuff">
            <LikeButton
                likeCount={ 5 }
                showCount
                liked={ false }
                onLikeToggle={ this.handleLikeToggle }
            />
        </div>
    );
}

function handleLikeToggle( newState ) {
    // save the state somehow
}
