Integrating Dynamic Like Count to Gatsby Blog Site

#help #gatsby #netlify #graphcms

Hey, I recently finished creating a blog website using Gatsby and GraphCMS and deploying it using Netlify.

I need help in integrating a feature similar to Medium's clap.

I will need to store, subscribe and update the blog’s like count.

Steps

On every build store and initialize a new blog with like count zero.
On the blog page add the feature to update blog like count.
On the blog page subscribe to blog like count.

Take a look at Kyle Shevlin’s blog. He did this with a fun beard icon as an homage to this his finely groomed beard.

I can’t find the source code for his site on GitHub, so maybe send him a Tweet.

I asked him on Twitter. He might chime in here.

@kyleshevlin, no rush on this, but someone on
@ThePracticalDev is trying to implement a like button on their Gatsby site and I remembered you did this with your magnificent beard button. Any tips for them? dev.to/stud2design/in… #DEVcommunity
