Usage

Hooks Implementation (Typescript)

Following is a basic example to start testing the library in your project. This library works on a user basis system and here are a few important points to remember:

• currentUser[required]. For no user details pass the prop as currentUser={null}
• A new user can be redirected using the login/signup links in the logIn[required] prop.
• The currentData[optional] prop returns an object of current data available after any action such as comment submission, reply, edit or delete.
• The onSubmitAction returns an object of data with the required information to make an API call after a comment is submitted. For more details check out the props list in our detailed documentation. This is how the basic default component would look.
