Konnect Comment Parser

This is the source code for algorithms that I developed for sorting and processing comments on the frontend part of Konnect obtained from its API.

Comments are linked to each other by means of their reply_to field. However, to render them on the front in a reddit-like style, I had to:

  • Sort them by date
  • Find and move replies to a replies replies of their parent comment
  • Flatten this new structure (some recursion here)
  • Introduce a depth field for the frontend to 'understand' how to space the comments out
  • Remove duplicates

Konnect is currently a proprietary private project although there is a probability of it becoming open-source in the future. To participate in its development (whether direct code contributions or just by being a q/a tester), reach out to me on [email protected].

PRs made and merged to this repo will be considered in the actual project.
