Getting Started

This is a test app for the mobile team at ENABLON France. To get started you will need to have a valid Account access token to connect to Instagram API and minimum iOS 11.4 installed and Xcode 9.0.

Others adding more features to the app

Adding liking / unliking functionality

To add the the like function, you will first need to create a developer account with Instagram, then register your app, please visit Instagram developer for more information and for the documentation.

Once you have setup your application and allow user a way to authenticate themselves, you can start creating you like functionality.

The like functionality could be done as follow:

have a like button on your custom cell
a variable to keep tract of the post id
a variable to keep tract of your like status for the post, such as as bool
a functiontion to triger according to the bool variable status, for isntance if the user already have liked the post, the button should trigger the unlike functionality
once the user has triggered and action (like /unlike), the info will be sent to instagram database with the following info:
- userid
- postid
- timestamp of the action
- check if the user is still log in
instagram will add/remove the postid to the user likes and update the likes count accordingly
an observer in the app will then trigger a new fetch in the background to reflect the correct info available
the app will then reload the list to show the up-to-date info to the user

The comment functionality could be done as follow (see the test app, as the basic functionality is already done):

make a comment view controller with a list collectioncontroller (tableview or collectionview)
- add an inputview (textview)
- link everything to the commenVC
- a convenient variable to get the postid
- a convenient variable to get the userid
- check if the user is still log in - to avoid no userid available
once the user has press the send button, check if the textfield is not empty (if it is do nothing)
if textview not empty, userid and postid aren't nil -> create a post object with required info and POST the infoto Instagram server with a callback to update the UI accordingly. For isntance once the post has been sent with success, clear the textview
an observer in the app will then trigger a new fetch in the background to reflect the correct info available
the app will then reload the list to show the up-to-date info to the user
