# 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

```js
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

```js
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
}
```
