How do you guys implement like/unlike into your apps

Ok so first the likeable package needs a child of BaseModel from socialize:base-model to add it’s functionality to. As an example we can use a book for our model.

//I'll assume you know how to import what you need here :-)

//Let's create our model
let Book = BaseModel.extendAndSetupCollection("books");

//add a schema for security's sake
Book.appendSchema({
  title:{
      type:String
  }
}); 

//this adds our liking functionality
LikeableModel.makeLikeable(Book, "book");

From there create some books that users can like

new Book({
  title:'Moby Dick'
}).save();

new Book({
  title: 'JavaScript: The good parts'
}).save();

Now that you’ve got some books, users can like them.

let book = Meteor.books.findOne();

book.like();

As a note this API will be changing in the near future when an update to the Socialize package set is released.
