Currently, I am working on a project that involves retrieving Facebook news feed data using the graph API. Upon receiving the JSON object, I display it on the page. The "Likes" section is presented as an array of JSON objects like this:
data.likes:
{
"count":2,
"data":[
{"name":"Jennifer Doe","id":"{user_id}"},
{"name":"John Doe","id":"{user_id}"}
]
}
The main objective is to determine whether the current user has liked the post or not - assuming I have access to the current user's user_id. Therefore, I am seeking the most straightforward method to check if the current user has liked the post.
I understand that one approach could be setting up a loop and iterating through each data entry, but that may not be the most efficient solution and might not look aesthetically pleasing. Another alternative would be utilizing $.inArray() to search for a specific JSON object, however, I prefer to search based on the user_id exclusively.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance provided. Thank you in advance!
