social.plus SDK provides functionality to retrieve comments from your application. You can retrieve a single comment by its ID or multiple comments in batch operations. The retrieved results are returned as live objects, providing real-time updates when comment data changes.

Single Comment

Fetch individual comments by ID with live object updates

Multiple Comments

Retrieve multiple comments efficiently with batch operations

Live Objects

Real-time synchronization with automatic updates
Comments are returned as live objects, which automatically update when the underlying data changes. For more information, refer to the Live Objects/Collections documentation.

import AmitySDK

// Initialize comment repository
let commentRepository = AmityCommentRepository(client: AmityUIKitManager.client)

Multiple Comments Retrieval

For retrieving multiple comments, you can iterate through an array of comment IDs: 
var token: AmityNotificationToken?

func commentQueryExample() {
    let queryOptions = AmityCommentQueryOptions(referenceId: "post-id", referenceType: .post, filterByParentId: false, orderBy: .descending, includeDeleted: false)
    token = commentRepository.getComments(with: queryOptions)
        .observe { collection, changes, error in
        // Handle the result
    }
}
